Sippin' On A Half-Cold Coffee

"So... you're liking New York so far?" Conan smiles, sipping his double-shot caramel latte and running a hand through his curly hair.

"It's alright... when it's not snowing! I love when I get paid and I can afford to go see a show on Broadway. I like taking walks on Broadway at night, but only ever with a friend," I smile back at him, sculling my mocha like it's water. Checking my watch, I frown, "Conan, it's like 2 am! Do you need to go to sleep? If you're tired, then go, it's ok!"

Conan's eyes fall on mine. He takes my hand in his, and half-smiles,

"No, I'm not leaving you here. You're too sweet. Follow me!" He pulls me up from my seat and into the elevator. I don't speak, cautious of what will happen if I do. The elevator doors split open to reveal a beautiful, glass penthouse. There's a large bed, a television, a small kitchen and an outdoor balcony holding a small infinity pool with cool-light fairy lights draped above it. It's modest for a New York penthouse, but nonetheless gorgeous.

"Woah! This is beautiful! Is this your place?!" I chime, reaching out to softly caress the leaf of a luscious monstera plant. 

"Yeah... temporarily. I love my own home, but it's too far from the concert so my manager booked a room here. Put your stuff down anywhere- I'm not fussed."

"So erm... what was your plan exactly? Not to be rude or anything, I just don't want to waste your time!" I put my bag down on the kitchen island, taking note of a thirsty plant and holding it under the tap for a brief moment. 

"Oh, right," he says, closing off the sight of the hectic city below us by harshly tugging on a rope, causing midnight blue curtains to be released from their messy bundles, "If you want, you can sleep here tonight. There isn't a couch, but the bed's quite large, and well- I'd be fine with it if you slept beside me- just for the night!"

Mouth-wide-open, I stare at him.

"Are you sure? I don't want to intrude! I swear I'm not the type of girl to-"

"It's fine. Go to the bathroom, clean up however much you need, and then help yourself. I'm not fussed! Besides, I love the idea of a sleepover with my new friend!"
