I look at him, is that really a question, i smack the seat beside me - sit your ass down.
We snuggle up and just talk and laugh, sometimes talking absolute crap and laughing is one of the best feelings in the world.
So, I may have had a quick nap. As I slowly come too in his arms I can hear him whispering.
Alright mate, shh shes asleep.
I speak up - It's okay, i'm awake and this is your home, be as loud as you want.
Don't be nice to him, he'll think you'll want to be friends, George laughs.
Fuck off George, Alex replies.
My eyes shoot open. Why did this feel like i've heard this before? I look up at George, then look around the room.
I compose myself - quick question guys, and i'm so sorry, but you're Alex Elmslie? Which means.. I look to George.
Oh wow.
George speaks up, i'm so sorry, I was going to tell you.
Tell me what? I reply. It's okay - I reply, I'm just mad I didn't figure this out sooner, I really am stupid haha.
I know you said you worked with computers, but not like that.
George looks worried - It's not a problem is it? He looks panicked. Fucking hell, this is why I hate dating.
I grab his hand. Okay firstly , why would it be a problem? It's your job, we all have jobs, yes i'm a little taken back but it doesn't bother me. We all need to make money some how.
And being a youtuber is yours.
Secondly - You're more than a youtuber, you're a human. A human that I like. You could be in any profession & I would still love being in your company.
The question is, are you okay with me recognizing you?
George's eyes pan over to Alex and then over to me - I'm okay with it, he explains - I know that that's what happens when your job is online. But it's so difficult when someone finds out. It's hard to explain.
But it makes dating hard because you never know their true intentions.
I understand George. And my word may not be enough. But I honestly feel know different toward you than I did when I first saw those perfect eyes.
And if it helps, I don't intend on "exposing" your face. What you do is non of my business or anybody else's. It's up to you where you go from here.
He squeezes my hand. Shall we just carry on where we were?
I smile, i'd like that.
I look to Alex, it's nice to meet you Alex.
Alex shakes his head as if he was coming out of some sort of trance.
Sorry, I mentally checked out for a second there, he laughs nervously.
It's nice to meet you too.
Alex joins us, we get to know each other and have a laugh.
Fuck, where did the time go? I say, its 1 in the morning.
George with no hesitation asks - would you like to stay here?
My heart feels like it just dropped into my stomach.
Oh god, I don't want to put you out.
Alex pipes up, you wouldn't be, its late. There is no way we could let you leave on your own at this time.
