Sunday Morning. Usually it's very bad, but today in particular, Alicia had a sleeping Dallon next to her on the couch. His hair was all messed up, and he was snoring lightly. Alicia smiled at the beautiful human being next to her. She got up from the couch, making sure to not make any noise that will wake up Dallon.

She tip toed her way to her room. She locked the door in case Dallon was the type of person to come in without knocking. She then stripped from her dress, then proceeded to shower. Once she finished, she walked out of the bathroom and changed into a black flowy skirt and a white t shirt. She put on her usual black socks. No shoes.

Once she finished with her wardrobe, she blow dried her hair. Then she put it into a braid. She looked at herself in the mirror and decided that she at least looked presentable. She sprayed some perfume on herself and then walked down stairs again. Dallon was still curled up in a ball on the couch. Alicia thought that he would've been awake by now. She checked the time and her confusion was gone when she realized that it was only 7:28.

She ignored the time and walked over to her kitchen, which she rarely cooked in. She thought about what to make. She made her mind and decided to make eggs with bacon. To her own surprise, they tasted great. She kept cooking and she felt a presence behind her. She turned around and Dallon was leaning on the door was admiring her.

Alicia smile and said "Good Morning!" Dallon smiled back and said "morning". His eyes looked droopy and he looked like he was having a hard time keeping them open. "You sleepy?" She asked. "Nah, I'll be fine" he responded. Alicia turned back to her cooking, she finished and served for herself and Dallon.

"I have an extra toothbrush in the guest room" she said. Dallon nodded and walked over to the 2 rooms. "Left or right door?!" He yelled. "Left!" She yelled back. She heard a door close, signaling that Dallon was now brushing his teeth. She put the 2 plates on the table and then sat down.

She began to eat her food, she wasn't very hungry, but Dallon was probably hungry and it would be weird for him to eat alone. Dallon came back, his hair looked a little bit neater, and his smile was heart warming. Alicia smiled back at him and gestured for him to sit. He did so. "I love your apartment" he said.

"thanks" she said. "It's quite boring here, I don't know how you'd like it" she said. Dallon laughed and said "because it's so like, tiny and perfect". Alicia realized that her whole apartment was really organized. "Guess you could say I'm very neat" she said. "You're not near your a perfectionist" he said.

"That's just over reacting" Alicia said as she rolled her eyes playfully. "Right okay, so who else arranges towels from dark color to light color? Who else makes sure that the toothpaste and toothbrush were both exactly 3.75 centimeters away from each other?" He asked.

Alicia raised her eyebrows in shock. "How did you know it was exactly 3.75 centimeters?" She asked. He laughed. "I'm also, a bit of a weirdo, I notice things. I noticed that you wear black socks everyday because you don't wear shoes at home. You wore black socks at the music store, yesterday and today. And when I've seen your job, you're wearing black socks" he said. Alicia was intrigued by Dallon. "What else do you notice?" She asked.

"I noticed that your a vegetarian because when you opened the fridge door I only saw vegetables and stuff of that sort, and when you opened cabinets, there was no condiments to put in foods that contain meat. I noticed that you've dyed your hair before because of its texture and dull look. I noticed that you're lonely because you agreed to take lessons from a complete stranger from a music store" he finished.

Alicia was astonished, everything he said was correct. "How... How did you even have time to figure this all out? How do you manage to to notice so many things?" She asked. "Like I said, I'm the typical freak" said Dallon, they were both already eating but still talking. "I think freaks are cool" Alicia said. He laughed at her comment and she just continued to eat. "Thank you" he said. Alicia smiled, and Dallon loved to see her smile.

Once they were done Alicia took care of the dirty dishes. She walked into the living room and found Dallon sitting there, watching tv. His eyes were glued to the screen, his hair was still quite messy, which Alicia thought was cute. "so, stranger from the music store, I just met you and you slept in my couch" Alicia said. Dallon looked over at her and laughed. "Well, in my defense, were both freaks so this was expected, AND, you invited me" he said, defending himself.

"I'm not kicking you out" she said. She walked beside his side of the couch and wacked his head. He fake pouted and said "that hurt" she laughed and sat on the other end of the couch. "You wanna go do something?" She asked. "Sure" he responded. She got up and grabbed her phone. "There's a fair around here, wanna go?" She asked. Dallons face immediately lit up. "Yes yes yes" he said. His face was filled with happiness.

Alicia laughed to herself as she watched Dallon act like a 6 year old. He bolted up from the couch. He walked over to where his shoes were and put them on. Alicia did the same, but her shoes were upstairs so she had to go up stairs to get them. She decided to wear a pair of black converse. She walked down the stairs and Dallon was patiently waiting for her at the door.

"Let's go" she said. Dallon smiled and grabbed her hand. She happily took his hand and they walked outside, surprisingly, today it wasn't too cold. The walk to the fair wasn't very long. They just laughed about stupid things and talked about music. When they arrived, Dallon could no longer hold it, and went full on 6 year old.

Dallon forced Alicia to go to almost everything. But he noticed that Alicia tried to avoid anything that involved heights. There were walking over to the Ferris wheel and Alicia slowed her walking "come on, I love the Ferris wheel" Dallon said. "Um, I'd rather not go on this ride" she said nervously. Dallon stopped in his tracks "you're afraid of heights aren't you?" He said. Alicia nodded shyly and moved a piece of her hair out of her face.

"I knew it!" Dallon said. Alicia laughed. "I promise it'll be fun, you'll be with me" he said. Alicia hesitated, but then agreed to go with Dallon. He smiled, he grabbed her hand and led her to the line.

The ride wasn't as bad as Alicia had thought. Once the ride was over Alicia sighed in relief. Dallon hit her arm playfully and said "stop pretending, you loved holding my hand in that ride" he said, seeming very confident all of the sudden. Alicia thought that his confidence was hilarious. She couldn't stop laughing. Her laughing made Dallon blush.

She then proceeded to laugh because Dallon was blushing. She laughed up to the point where her stomach hurt and Dallons face was tomato red. He grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the fair. She had stopped laughing by the time they were walking back home. "Why'd you make me blush?" Dallon asked, he seemed embarrassed. "You looked cute, and it's funny to see you embarrassed" she said. Dallon playfully rolled his eyes.

"I did not look cute, I looked like I got rejected by you" he said. Alicia let out a small stifled laugh. "Yeah, I'm sorry I embarrassed you" she said. "It's okay, I still had lots of fun" he said. There was a huge smile on his face. Alicia nodded and agreed. She flatted down her skirt and looked Down. "You do that a lot" said Dallon. "Do what?" She asked. "You look down, like in embarrassment" he said. "Dallon Weekes, I've only known you for like 4 days and you like already figured out my whole life" said Alicia.

Dallon laughed and said "you're just something that intrigues me". Alicia smiled. "Well, it's getting late, I should go" Dallon said. Alicia nodded and gave him a small hug. "Bye!" She said and she waved her hand. "Bye Lici" he said. "What?" She asked in confusion. "It's my new nickname for you" he said. "Lici? Come on Dallon, there was Ali, Cia, lisa and you chose Lici?" She said.

Dallon nodded, proud of his choice of nickname. "Okay, I won't argue. Bye Dallon, I had fun. And I hope you enjoyed sleeping in the couch of a person you've only known 3 days" she said. He laughed. "I did, Bye Lici" he said again. Alicia groaned as Dallon was already walking away, his back turned to her "you know you love it!" He said. Alicia yelled back "sure do!". She walked into the lobby of her small apartment building.

She was in front of her apartment door. She opened it and found herself, yet again, Alone. She sighed. She played Halsey and decided to take a nap. The music helped her drift off to sleep.
