"Well she should have told you, it works wonders to offload on someone and even better when they are a stranger and you don't have to see them again" Joe smiled, running his tongue along his lips as he noticed his lips where dry. Most probably down to all the talking he was doing. Screwing up his face when she said his puppy dog face made him look like a monster then realising he should have done that as he would end up with wrinkles at such a young age. "Don't get that face out in the open much" hearing his stomach let out a small grumble he grabbed his muffin and as he was trying to be nice or at least show this girl he was nice he thought he might as well offer to share. "Wanna have half my muffin? Its toffee and tastes delish" he said pushing it towards her if she wanted half she could cut it and then push the other half back to him.

Ellie rolled her eyes as he ignored her come back, muttering unintelligible things to herself. "Well it's none of your business so stop snooping." she folded ehr arms again, screwing up her face like he had when he passed her the muffin. She quickly fixed her features though, not liking that she was copying him like she would her brother sometimes....Ugh, enough of that, she scolded herself. She decided that he would probably just make a big deal out of her not taking something, so she pinched a piece off, popping it in her mouth. "Not bad.But I'm not big for toffee." She said honestly, leaning back as the waitress -God this girl needs a name tag...- brought her coffee. "Thanks. We're fine for now." She nodded to the girl who smiled, seemingly encouraging, back then left.

"Fine" Joe said holding his hands up in protest. "I won't say another word. How about we just sit here in silence?" he said, pulling the muffin back over and taking it out of the case and pulling the bottom end off first before putting a small amount into his mouth and chewed it slowly. "But before we start the vow of slience you one hundred percent sure you don't wanna tell me your really name Fred?" it was really bugging him that he'd be sat with her for a while now and she still wouldn't tell him her name. Maybe he should go and ask one of the staff that worked here. Since she practically said she was a regular since this booth was hers. He could always say he needs the bathroom and ask one of the waitresses, he was sure they wouldn't be as hard a nut to crack like this girl.

Ellie rolled her eyes as he stated that they were going to sit in silence. She stared at him after he asked for her name again, then suddenly chuckled, shaking her head with a slight smile on her face. "You persistent prick." She sighed, leaning her arms on the table, defeated. "Ellie. How do you do?" She asked, holding her hand out to him like he had earlier. Usually this was the time that people stopped and stared at her. She didn't usually give in and accept defeat, but when she did and just let them have what they want, they would stare at her to see if she were joking.

Joe had a smug look on his face when she finally gave in and told him her name. "Nice to meet you Ellie" he said high fiving her hand instead of shaking it like the obviously wanted him to do, popping some more of his muffin into his mouth and chewing it slowly before swallowing. "I must say you do look more like an Ellie than a Fred. Even if Fred was growing on me. Maybe it can be your nickname when you agree to us being friends" he told her the smug look never leaving his face. putting his elbows on the table he rested his head in his hands. "may I ask how old you are Ellie or would that be over stepping the mark?" She looked around the age of one of his sisters but then she looked older than her age and these days you could never tell how old one person was to the next. But he wasn't about to blurt out that she looked around the age of one of his siblings she would take it the wrong way and they would be back to square one after he had made a little break through with her, by getting her to tell him her name.

Ellie rolled her eyes. "Don't count on it, Joey....hm....you look more like a Nick to me. I suppose that's what I'll call you since you called me Fred for so long." She folded her arms, rolling her eyes. "17, eighteen in a few. Yourself, nosey rosey?" She licked her lips, taking another sip of her coffee as she leaned away from him. She finally let herself give him a good once over, taking in everything as a factor of his personality.

Joe frowned when she called him Joey that was one name he would not put up with. It certainly wasn't his name. "Do not call me Joey" he said a bit louder than he had expected it to come out. "please" he added. He hated it more a Joey was a small kangaroo and he wasn't that attached to his mother and that's all he could think of. But he guessed now she knew how much it annoyed him she would just wanna call him it. Letting out a sigh as he got lost in his own train of thoughts shaking his head as he heard her say she was only seventeen eighteen in a few months. "oh I've just turned twenty a few months back" Joe said, he didn't feel weird sat talking to this girl now he knew her age. If anything it put him at ease she was younger than him so at least they could have an easy friendship. Watching her as she gave him the once over Joe put his hands behind his head as he leaned back on the booth a cheeky grin on his face. "see I knew you wasn't the ice queen" he said slapping a hand over his mouth. He knew he shouldn't have said that but it kind of just slipped out. "oops sorry, didn't mean for it to sound as bad as it did" he said shaking his head at his own arrogance.

Ellie raised her eyebrow when he raised his voice at her. It wasn't as bad as him calling her Fred, so what was he getting all worked up about? "Whatever." She mumbled as she took another sip of her drink, leaning back to relax in her seat. Well relax a little, she never completely relaxed. It was a habit from growing up with siblings always ready to pounce on you for a joke. She nodded silently. Twenty? She resisted the urge to ask 'so are you a creeper, looking for some under-aged girls or what?', reminding herself that she'd almost be 18 and that 20 was only three years off. Ellie immediately scowled, glaring at him when he called her 'ice queen'. "Don't ever call me that." It was only a few years ago that a few of her brothers had teased her because she didn't talk to anyone and she had run off. There was a good reason for her to be so cold, and the boys were only trying to get a reaction out of her because they didn't like her new, somber attitude, but it had hurt a lot. She hated any term of ice-queen, princess, or anything closely related to it because of them.

"I'll cut you a deal you don't call me Joey again and I won't call you an Ice queen" Joe said shifting his weight a little so he was sloughed a little in the booth they where sharing. Taking another bite of his muffin he chewed it slowly before finishing his drink. "I'll be back in a moment okay?" sliding out of the booth he made his way to the loo, quickly using it he washed his hands and made his way back ordering another coffee and asking the waitress to bring it over once she'd made it if she didn't mind doing so. Sliding back into the booth Joe smiled at Ellie, "Hope you didn't miss me" he grinned, "So what do you wanna talk about now" smiling as he spotted the waitress coming over he thanked her for his drink and mentioned that he would setlle the tab on his way out.

She was about to retort back 'as if I'd ever want to make a deal with your sorry arse', but he excused himself at the moment she had finished bringing the boiling rage to a simmer and felt she could speak without shouting. When he left, she contemplated how long it would take her to lay money on the table and walk about of the shop without him finding her. She really didn't want to have to run. Just as she was going to reach in her pocket for the money, he came back out, talking to the waitress. "Great." She mumbled as he made his way back. "Don't worry. I was actually thinking about ditching your sorry -" Before she could swear at him, the waitress came over and gave her a look that clearly said 'calm down'. She returned it with one that attempted to imply 'you try dealing with him'. she scowled at Joe, not answering him as she was in the processes of 'cooling off'. She was already in a bad mood before he came, and he seemed to keep reminding her of what she was trying to forget every chance he got.

Joe let out a small chuckle when Ellie nearly said she was about to ditch him. Finding it funny the way the waitress was looking at her when she brought his coffee over. "So about ditching me, was you really gonna just go without saying bye? That's really not friendly or polite in the slightish. I expected more from you Ellie. I wanna be your friend but your making it real hard for me" he said, letting out a small sigh. He found it hard to get girls to like him in this town. It was as if they had all got together and found reasons not to like him, but wasn't about to tell her that. She wasn't being friendly with him and he was finding it hard to find things to talk about without her dismissing them completely.

Ellie sighed, putting her hand on her forehead and resting it on the table. With another sigh, she cleared her throat. "Look," she said softly, almost gently. "I've had a bad day. My brother-" She scowled, but decided he at least deserved an explanation, and she could use someone to talk to especially someone who didn't know her family. "my twin is always off with his girl and he knows he's the only one I hang out with but he hasn't said three words to me since my birthday. It's.....annoying. I understand we're a little too old for me to want to be the only chick in his life, but she hogs him all the time. I don't like her." She ended, sulking. She didn't exactly dislike Eian's new girlfriend, but Eian did always seem to be out, either with her or doing something for her. "I didn't even talk to her when he brought her home to show her off." She said the last few words with bitterness even though there was guilt that she had hurt the girl's feelings. Ellie never liked Eian to have girlfriends because they would always be clinging on him, but this one was opposite - he was clinging on her.

Joe was stunned when she finally let go and told him what was bothering her. Finding it slightly weird that she didn't like this girl cause she was her twins girlfriend. He wondered if something was up with the girl for her not to like it, but then he remembered from his sisters if they thought someone was more prettier or had more to offer they had an instant disliking to them. but he wasnt about to ask if she was more prettier than Ellie he could tell she wouldnt take it as a joke as he would have intend it to be. ''So you havent actually spoke two words to this girl?'' he finally asked, folding his arms loosing over his chest as he quizzed her. ''how do you know you don't like her if you haven't really given her the time of day? For all you know she might be a great girl and someone you could call a friend then all three of you could hang out or something'' he shrugged. He actually didn't know what to say to try and reassure her that something good could come out of this. He didn't have a twin so he guessed bond with a twins was going to be stronger than with a regular brother or sister.

Ellie scowled at his suggestions though she knew he was just trying to help. "Thanks Eleanor" She spoke sarcastically, calling him her sister's name since she always scolded Ellie for not speaking with Eian's girlfriend. "If your best, closest friend, who always spent time with you no matter what, suddenly got a girlfriend and dropped you altogether, wouldn't you be a little peeved? Multiply that with my bad attitude Nd you get a hard grudge." She folded her arms, leaning back in her booth. "If you haven't noticed by now, I don't like people. And I'm not going to like some preppy girl who stole my brother just by batting her eyelashes." She pouted a little, more or less talking to herself now. She knew she sounded five, but she didn't care. In her eyes, this girl had stolen her twin, her best friend, her only buddy. Now she had nobody but the coffee waitress- and this tick is he stuck around. Although, she was starting to think she may not mind talking to Joe. She hardly felt bad for thinking of him as a replacement Eian.

Joe looked confused when she called him Eleanor, that certainly wasn't his name and he hadn't agreed on some female name for her to call him. ''Eleanor?'' He repeated after she spoke, ''that my new name or your brothers girlfriends name? And to your question I've never actually had friends long enough for them to sell me out for girls. It was normally me doing the selling out, for the simple reason your friends and siblings can only provide a certain kind of love. You just always hunger for that other kind you know?" he wondered if she actually knew. But it was more of a retotichal question that an actual question. Him merely thinking outloud. "Have you at least tried to speak to your brother about the way you're feeling? I'm sure if he knew how much you was hurting'' he smiled, as he took a breath, "Then maybe he wouldn't spend all his time with his girl and share a little with you? Also Ellie I'm your friend" he grinned unfolding his arms and putting his hands on the table, "well that's if you want me to be? At least then if you wanna hang out with someone we could hang out together and you wouldn't have to look like a loner in a coffEe shop all by yourself" realising he shouldnt have said loner but it was much better than loser like he was going to say. He wondered if she was softening a little to the idea of them being friends.
