Melissa's Pov
___________
I woke up to my phone vibrating.
I let a groan before getting up to see who texted me this early in the morning.

3 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯s

I waited till my eyes adjusted to the screens brightness before continuing to read the messages.

𝘑𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦
- 𝘏ey Mel ;) how's my boy doing, he had a rough nite.

𝘕𝘢𝘪𝘮𝘢
- 𝘚𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘶𝘱? 𝘛𝘹𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘈𝘚𝘈𝘗 𝘹

𝘑𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘯
- 𝘏𝘦𝘺 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴, 𝘩𝘰𝘸'𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨? :)

I smiled at the last text.
But the first two, ughh.
Jesse can't live without Marcus and Naima,
She's the type of friend to hit on my brother.
I didn't feel like replying to their messages but Jadon, he's so cute I couldn't leave him on read.

I start typing,
- 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘬𝘦 𝘶𝘱, 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨.
𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶? :)

I hit send, still glancing at the screen. I clocked that he's active and will see my message as soon as it delivers.

𝘑𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨..

Oh shit. He's quick.

- 𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵. 𝘐'𝘮 𝘩𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘭𝘰𝘭. 𝘕𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘦.

- 𝘏𝘮𝘮, 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘦?

- 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘥𝘰 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘺.

He did not just ask me to get coffee with him.
What the hell. What am I gonna say? No?
My hands were sweaty from excitement.

-𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘳𝘯? 𝘐'𝘮 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘳𝘶𝘷.
I reply.

-  𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵!,
𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘐'𝘭𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘪𝘯 10

I had no choice at this point but to get up from my cosy bed and hit the shower quick.
Afterwards, I put on some sweatpants and a hoodie. I drowned myself in perfume and tied my hair up in a bun.

- 𝘐'𝘮 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘰𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘵𝘸.

This guy ain't playing.

- 𝘈𝘭𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵, 𝘐'𝘮 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨.

Before I leave, I open the door to my brother's room, and glance over to find him sleeping peacefully. I shut the door quietly so he doesn't wake up, grab my bag and head out to meet Jadon.
