Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring first met when they were sat next to each other in form at Truham Boys. It was love at first sight for Charlie, who was only 14 at the time. It took some time for Nick who was 16 to realise he was bisexual and in love with Charlie. Since then they haven't been apart and now 5 years down the line, Nick graduated from York St John University with a degree in sport education as he wanted to pursue his rugby and Charlie in his final year at University of York studying Classics. They both live together in a small one bedroom flat in York with their dog Daisy - it was perfect for them. While Charlie is studying for his degree, Nick had a job coaching a local schools rugby team during the week and working in a local coffee shop on a Saturday morning.
It was an early autumn Saturday morning when Nick rolls out of bed - he has to be at the coffee shop at 7am to open up ready for the early risers who seek out their caffeine fixes before their daily activities. He goes and does his usual routine - heading to the bathroom to have a quick shower and brush his teeth. Once he has done this, he heads back to the bedroom to get dressed. He stops at the door and looks at the bed where he sees the sleeping beauty of his boyfriend Charlie. He admires him from the distance - smiling because he still can't believe how lucky he is to have found the one so early in life. He gets dressed and then heads to the kitchen to make a cup of tea and some toast for breakfast.
Daisy is now sat down next to him at the table looking up to him. "Oh Daisy, you're wanting your breakfast aren't you?" Nick laughs while bending down to ruffle her fur. He gets up and feeds Daisy then he writes a small note for Charlie.
Char my darling. Daisy's been fed! Be home at 1pm. Love you <3
Nick heads to work - he knows it's going to be a busy day so he always tries to get there a little early so he can make sure everything is ready for when the shop opens. He gets to work just before 7am which gives him around 30 minutes to set up ready for open at 7.30am.
Once the shop is open it is filled with a lot of customers so he was so happy to see Imogen come in for her shift at 8am. Nick and Imogen have been friends since school - best friends in fact. He feels like he could tell her anything and she was always there for him when he came out as bisexual and started dating Charlie - even when he turned down their date because he only saw her as a friend.
The hours fly by with the amount of customers that come in so when Nick is about to finish his shift at 12.30pm he serves one more customer. A tall gentleman in a suit with a briefcase. He orders a coffee and sits down at the table in the corner. Nick goes ahead and makes the coffee order and then heads to the table to hand over the coffee.
"One medium latte" Nick says while placing the coffee on the table. "Thank you" the gentleman says. Nick turns to head back to the counter but the gentleman stops him.
"Excuse me?" he says. Nick turns thinking he's done something wrong - like made the coffee wrong or it's cold. "Yes sir?" Nick replies. "Oh don't worry you've not done anything wrong" he says as he could tell Nick was nervous. Nick sighed in relief.
"I work for a talent agency and my superior is looking for someone for an upcoming TV show on Netflix. You fit the criteria for the lead role and was wondering if you were interested?" he continues.
Nick looks stunned. "Me? I-I've never done any acting in my life." he stutters.
"Think about it and if you do want to try out then please give me a call" he says while handing Nick his contact card. Nick couldn't believe it, someone actually thinks that he looks like he could be in a show? Nick nods "thank you".
Nick scurries off back to the counter and Imogen is looking at him. "What was that about?!" she asks. "Apparently I fit the criteria for a TV show that Netflix is filming and he wanted to me to think about it" he says while rubbing his neck with his hand. "What?! No way! That's so exciting! That would be so amazing to see my best friend in a TV show!!" Imogen shrieked. Nick laughs - "I haven't decided yet but we will see! Anyway I'm heading off now - me and Charlie got plans for this afternoon" he smiles.
Nick heads out the back to grab his coat and bag and waves at Imogen and head on home back to Charlie.
