Lets Not Sit With *Them*

A couple come into the coffee shop place. He is a skinny guy with short dark hair, slightly spiked, and glinting diamond earrings. She is busty and blonde, her fringe dyed an intense pink, wearing a white t-shirt and black skirt. I make a double take, sure that I have already seen them in hear. I glance across the gallery to the opposite point from where I am sitting, and there they are, like clones. "Fuck's sake", the girl growls, "lets just not sit with them, please?" They go to the counter, a blind spot from the rest of the shop. I glance back across and the other couple has vanished. I guess the feeling was mutual? While the girls waits for the order, the guy decides to wander round despite her protests. But when he gets round to that side of the coffee shop he stops in his tracks and looks confused. He lowers himself to a table, staring at the point the other couple had been at, as though half expecting them to reappear. They don't. He gets up and goes back for his girl, the pair come back and sit at that same table. While the first couple are long gone.
