Roman's POV

Now Playing... Heaven knows I'm miserable now by The Smiths

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour~

I've been here for almost two hours and to be completely honest it hasn't been as bad..as I thought. Although some of them were kind of boring and asked too many questions. Mark and Leon were okay though, especially Mark, he's nice. He came on very strong though. I don't think it was intentional though so I just brushed it off. Most of them had already left after saying their goodbyes although Amilie was still talking to Noel over by the counter and I was left with Mark, who seemed to be getting ready to leave. "It was nice meeting you Roman, I hope we cross paths again sometime." Mark said before standing up. I fished my coffee and stood up to bid him farewell but by the time I had gotten up he was gone. Huh. Perhaps he's needed to be somewhere, oh well.
"Hey, are you ready to start heading back?" began, walking over to me. I grabbed my phone and my keys off the table. "Yeah, let's go." I replied.

But heaven knows I'm miserable now~

Me and Noel left the cafe and made our way back to our shared apartment. He was on the phone to someone though, so it was slightly awkward however, we don't live too far away from the cafe which meant it wouldn't be awkward for too long. His pace was a lot slower than mine especially since he was one the phone, I can't even explain how much it annoyed me. However, it did mean no one would talk to me so I'm good with that. We were almost at our apartment by the time he got off the phone and I had put my earphones on again, listening to 'Snap Out Of It' by Arctic Monkeys. The walk back was quite awkward and...quiet. It normally is with Noel since we don't talk too much. He's so. Shit, what's the word. Collected? No. Calm? Well, he is but that's not the right word. Wait, I got it! He's so easy-going, which irritates me and confuses me. I just don't understand how he can talk to random strangers and focus on all the positive things in life.

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job~

Anyway, enough of me being harsh on Noel. We were almost coming up to Highstreet, by then my playlist started playing 'Without me' by Eminem. Noel hadn't tried to make conversation with me which was surprising. As we came up to our apartment I paused my music and took out my airpods, putting them in my pocket. I followed Noel into our apartment and left the door open slightly. Noel had gone upstairs, leaving me alone on the sofa, staring out the window. Deep in thought as to who the man or my 'admirer' was. It could be a stupid joke but then again how would they even know my address let alone who I am. Thinking about it made my spine crawl, I mean it's nice to think someone may be attracted to me or something however, not like this. I'd actually rather know the person. Stopping myself from pondering on the thought any longer, I unlocked my phone and opened my contact list, scrolling down to Blair's name so I could ask her to get Chinese on her way back from her studio.

And heaven knows I'm miserable now~

After I rang her, I decided I was going to call her girlfriend Opal to see what she was doing and if she was available to hang out with me. As I scrolled through my contacts, one of them caught my eye, so I scrolled back up to see who it was. The name read..'Mark<3'. Uhm. That's weird. I never put his contact in my phone nor did I give him my phone to do so. Maybe that's why he left so quickly or maybe he did it while I was talking to Leon. It was a bit discomforting but it's just his number, he isn't doing any harm right? Then again he did seem too familiar. Roman. You're thinking too much into this. It's just you being paranoid.

In my life~

Blair had come back a couple of hours ago with our food but she had to go out again. My brothers were asleep by now since it was almost ten and they have a lot to do tomorrow. I was led down on the sofa watching something, god knows what. My head was so fuzzy I couldn't concentrate on what it was. It was probably from the amount of weed I had previously. My eyelids grew heavier as I found it harder to stay awake. I shut the door, I think. Eh, Blair probably did on her way out. With that I fell asleep. Did Roman really close the door? Should he have checked?

Why do I give valuable time~
