Gwenpool & I

So, today happened just like how the normal todays happen. Everything was going on perfectly fine until I ripped off my pants. Ugh. Okay, well, let us begin from the beginning. Hello, I am Arjun & I am an Indian-American living in New York. My parents live in New Jersey. I have come here for college. I do a part-time job at a cafe called Take-a-Ways in the heart of the city. I have a crush on a girl named Gwendolyn, who works with me at the cafe. It's a small eatery, usually it is just her & me & this Latina who also got a job there.

So, today I woke up & went to college. Things moved fine. Nothing special. After which, I directly rushed off to the cafe. Time to work! My shift began at 5 & ended at 9.

To be honest, more than my paycheck, I like the place because I get to see Gwendolyn there. Nothing else. She is the charm of my day. Her blonde-silky hairs which slither around in the beautiful air or her large beady blue eyes that offer a warmth like the ocean. She is just perfect. Physically, & internally. The way she laughs when I do something silly just makes my day every time, or the way she smiles at something naughty. The way she pecks her nose & snickers. Pure, beauty.

I have not spent a long, long time with her. In fact, I do not know her at all outside the world of the cafe, but I know she is extremely beautiful & that I have found my the one. I am kinda afraid of telling her that I feel for her so deeply. I do not want to ruin our friendship, but man! I want her. I really, really want her.

But then again, I oftentimes feel that she is not all that she appears to be. There is something else in her. Something different. Something unexplored. And not gonna lie, that just makes her mysterious (& therefore, much more interesting). I want to know her in every way possible, because I know I am going to love every single part of her.

Yeah, feels like you're all caught up. Now, let's get on with the scene. I reach the cafe & as always, Gwendolyn is already there. She is working with the coffee-maker, cleaning it & pouring some out for the customers. The Latina, Isabella passed by me as she served a person somewhere.

But my eyes were glued to Gwendolyn. She did not look up, but as my shadow approached her she did. I was brought out of my trance like a wham! & just then, she offered me a gleeful smile. Just like always. So cute! I effortlessly smiled back as I entered the counter & put on my apron.

"No tee today?" asked she, still pouring out coffee. I looked down & realized I was still in my shirt.

"Oh, right!" I walked out towards the washroom, "will be back."

"Sure thing!"

I got in & removed my shirt & put it into my backpack. I took out the classic red-&-black tee & put it on. Below I was wearing black pants. I put on the greenish apron again as I walked out. Something weird did happen while I was closing the door. There was a tearing sound of something, but it was feint & my mind was occupied with the thoughts of getting back near Gwendolyn as soon as possible & thus I paid no heed to it as I walked out & entered the counter again.

I took off my backpack & put it down to the side of the counter. We started working together now. We prepared things & Isabella served them. Simple. I know this is kinda weird, but as I told you, it was a very small eatery & the owner was a heartful guy who regularly employed students.

We continued working, I kept stealing glances at Gwendolyn, & now normally she would look back occasionally & we would smile at each other, but today she wasn't looking at me at all. Something was off, she wasn't in her normal bubbly mood. Something had happened. And of course I did not like it. She was better off happy. I wanted to get to what had happened, but had no idea how to.

"Something up?" I asked finally. She looked at me.

"Umm... no. Nothing-" something was definitely up, but then her eyes widened!

"Are you su--"

"Hey!" she was looked at my back. "What's that?" she walked nearer to me, & looked at my back. Concerned, I turned to see. DAMN! My pants were torn!!! How had that happened!? When? Why? How?

"Oh! OH!" I turned away from her. Clutching that portion. Ashamed. She looked at me & chuckled.

"It's alright. Show me."

"No, but-"

"It's alright Arjun, trust me." said she. & I melted. The way she took my name. Uff. So cute! So, I with an embarrassed red face, turned around. She looked at my back. The worse thing was that I usually wore a red underwear. I V shaped, red underwear, & that was exactly what I was wearing.

I was bulged to the front now, for well, pretty obvious reasons as she inspected the tear. "Do you know how to stitch?" asked she.

"I uh- I can-"

"So, you don't." I gave up.

"Yes, I don't."

"Alright then, don't worry. I do." She called Isabella who came running.

"Yeah?"

"Can I borrow your stitching kit for sometime. Arjun here tore his pants." Isabella looked at me & chuckled. So, did Gwendolyn. I just looked down, red-faced.

"Take it. It's in my bag." said Isabella.

Gwendolyn took it out. "'Bella, can you handle the counter for a while all by yourself?"

"Will do!" said she.

"Come on in!" said Gwendolyn to me. I looked at her. We were going in to the storeroom. We entered. I felt like a little kid. Being toyed around by his elder sisters. But just here, it was not my elder sister, but my crush.

"Umm... I am really sorry for this mess I didn't mean to-"

"Nobody means to do such things, obviously!" said she. "Unless you have some weird fetish such as this."

"NO!" I had no idea why I shouted, maybe even Gwendolyn was shocked for a bit, "I mean, no. It was purely a mistake."

"Hmm." she nodded. "Don't worry, man! It's fine. I am just a friend, helping out... Now, take off your clothes!"

I was shocked, what
