Damien's pov

Alice is so cute when she sleeps, I watched her sleep for a little while before my eyes got so heavy I couldn't keep them open any longer. I felt he shift and try to get up I move my arm to let her up and see her blushing out the corner of my eye. I get up and go to the bathroom and wash my face I think to myself not about what's going on with the cops, or what is taking them so long to get back to us but Alice I can't stop thinking about her.

The way her long purple hair complements her face, the way her eyes show so much care for those she's close to than there is her height she's not short she is the perfect size. I have always liked short girls it makes the cuddling so much better in my book, my phone buzzes and I snap back into reality and open the text

"Damien can you watch your brother tonight? I got asked to pull a double" - Mom

"Sure mom no problem is it okay if I have a few friends over? We have a test coming up so we have come up with a study group." -Damien

"Yes you can, just make sure your brother is in bed at a good time"- mom

Alice comes out of the bathroom and sits with me.

"Have the cops said anything yet" she asks

"No nothing yet I haven't seen them" I say reply, thinking to myself she seems stressed maybe I should take her out for coffee and maybe get her mind off this stuff even if it is just for a little while. I better ask her before I chicken out.

"Alice, I was wondering, well you are stressed and worried so I wanted to help you let it all go even if it is only for a little while. Will you come out with me to get some coffee? "

I ask nervously and wait her answer hoping she doesn't turn me down.

"Sure I would like that, it would be nice to let go of this stuff for a little while" she says smiling

Before the fact that she said yes hit me I started to babble like an idiot

"I understand if you don't want to I was just trying to- wait you said yes? "

She giggles and says "yes I said yes how could I say no to you?"

Blushing softly I get up and get my keys

"Ready to go" I ask

Alice nods and we head out to my car.

* At Starbucks*

Standing in line as I listen to Alice try and decide which drink she wants, I don't do that cause I get the same thing every time I come to starbucks.

I always order a Neapolitan frappuccino I love the taste I normally order it when it's a nice day like today. On cold days I order the Marble Mocha Macchiato it always hits the spot in the right way.

After what seemed like forever Alice made up her mind which was good timing because we were next in line.

The lady behind the counter asked us what we would like today.

"I will have a Neapolitan frappuccino and a cream filled donut." I tell the lady and she looks over at Alice, "and for you?" she asks

"I will take a Pink Raspberry Passion and a cream filled donut too."

"Is this for here or to go?"

The woman ask

"That is for here I tell her"
