Coffee with a side of demon
Who: Audra and Cameron
Where: Starbucks
When: Early afternoon
While Cameron enjoyed days when he got to have lunch with Amanda they weren't as common as he'd have preferred. Sometimes he didn't even take a lunch, just ate whatever happened to be in the mini-fridge. Today though he had a lull in his paperwork, his mother hadn't called and Amanda was busy with something and he had a completely free hour for lunch. Instead of going to a deli or even swinging by the store to pick up a pre-made salad he decided that a coffee and a danish from Starbucks was the best idea. Quick, easy and it had been awhile since he had just had a coffee and relaxed. Maybe he would even pick the newspaper up on his way in and read it without someone hanging over his shoulder to point out what he needed to read. The sports section would be nice even if it was the tail-end of summer and hardly anything worthwhile was happening.
"Venti americano and a piece of the lemon cake." What? So it was a little sweet and he should've gone for something more like the zucchini but it wasn't like he was on a diet. Every now and again he could treat himself without - ugh. After he paid and moved to wait he couldn't help but look around at the rest of the people in the cafe. Most of them looked normal, even though he knew that they all couldn't possibly be, but a few had little things about them that weren't quite right. Like that pale-skinned person sulked down in the darkest corner, reading but drinking nothing, was probably a vampire. Or a human who wanted to be a vampire because they thought that they were the best thing out there. Cameron just couldn't believe those people. Didn't they get the part where vampires fed off humans? It wasn't something that should be romanticized like they were all too happy to do. Hell, Amanda had ended up in the hospital because of one of them. Just because they look normal doesn't mean they are either. Mandy said that demon looked just like a regular girl. Sneering to himself, Cameron started to turn back to the counter only to find himself stopping when he caught sight of the person next in line. All normal right until you got to her eyes. One of them just looked wrong... almost like her pupil had been broken by something. "People these days," he muttered under his breath as he accepted his cake and coffee. Could be that she just had some sort of a birth deformity but was that what being a supernatural was? "Flaunting all the things that they should be hiding." They were called contacts.
