Laurmau *All Because Of Coffee Book 2* -Likers To Lovers-

Chapter 1

*Time Skip To 2 Weeks After Aphmau Left*

Laurance's POV

It has been 2 weeks since Aphmau left, Cadenza has been trying to get me to leave my room but I haven't. We have a new roommate to help pay the rent, their name is Zoey. I have only met her a few times for I've only left my room for food. Aphmau hasn't been returning my messages... I hope she didn't forget about me. No! She would never! Would she? I know the answer to that, maybe I should move on..? I can't... I love her... I will never love someone the way I love her! I just want to see her beautiful face at least one more time, that is something other than a picture. That is real life. I don't get it, she Skypes Cadenza but she doesn't even text me back. I should move on, I haven't been attending work and I might get fired. My work starts in 2 hours, I have time to get ready. I take a shower and do whatever else needs to be done to get ready. I look in mirror and see Aphmau next to me, I turn and she wasn't there. I think I'm going crazy! Either that or... she's in more than my dreams and thoughts... I sigh and walk out of my door to hear Aphmau's voice. I know it's real! I bolt into Cadenza's room and they were Skyping. "Aphmau!" I yelled. "Oh no." I heard her say. She signed off. I ran over to Cadenza's side, she now has her head in her hands. "Why is she ignoring me." I ask Cadenza calmly. "I-I'm afraid I can't answer that." I take another sigh and fall to me knees. After this I'm not going to work, I'll call again saying what kind of mindset I'm in. I did so and then flopped on my bed with a picture of Aphmau on my phone. If she likes me why is she ignoring me! I was almost asleep when I get a text from some unknown number, I look at it. They say:

??????: Hey. If this is Laurance I'm Travis and I live in the apartment beside Aphmau.

Laurance: What! Why is she ignoring me! I must know!

Travis: Listen, every time you interrupt her skype call with your sister she walks to my door crying her eyes out.

Laurance: What building do you live in?

Travis: *building name and number* Why?

Laurance: Bye.

Travis: Bye?

I stopped texting Travis after I added him to my contacts, I pulled out my laptop and looked up the building Travis told me. I found an apartment right across from the one Aphmau is in, perfect! The price made sense, and it was for 2 people. I decided to call Garroth and ask him if he wanted to move with me, he agreed. We are moving in 7 days! Yes! I will see my love again! I called my work and switched jobs to have one 20 min from where we're moving to. Perfect, everything is going right. The only downfall is I'm leaving my beloved sister Cadenza behind. I'm sure she won't mind, she just might start having parties... all girl parties. I ran out my door and into Cadenza's room, she was combing her hair. "Cadenza! Guess what!" I yelled flailing my arms around. "What, I haven't seen you this excited in forever!." She said putting her cob down and walking up to me. "I'm moving." I said trying to keep a calm voice. "Really..! Where to?" "The apartment across from Aphmau!" I said, the excitment in my voice had won. "L-Laurance.. I don't think that's a good idea.." "What! Why! I get to see my love again!" "Heh.. w-well... nevermind." She mumbles, "He'll just have to find out for himself." "What was that?" I asked. "Oh nothing!" "Uh.. okay then?"

Aphmau's POV

I have missed Laurance so much, I can't text him because I feel so bad. He texts me and calls me all the time, I ignore them all... It hurts... it really does. I'm making good money on the brightside, and I think I might be taking a liking to Travis. I know it sounds weird and he is a little more of a casanova than Laurance was. But he has been there to comfort me when I most need it, Laurance only hears my voice when he interrupts calls. I only told Cadenza about what's been going on between Travis and I. I just hope she doesn't tell him a certain way... I feel so bad! Maybe I should just forget about Laurance and move on with my life.. I-I can't do that! I would destroy him! What on earth am I supposed to do now! As of now I'm balling my eyes out with these thoughts running through my mind, I'm a wreck! My hands are shaking and I'm breathing heavily. I have never cried so much in a short time span before in my life. Why do things have to turn out this way... just... why! I feel so broken... am I?

I eventually calm down after Travis helped me, I walked back to my door and went in. Not only do I have to deal with leaving but... T-Thorgi.. passed away. I don't want to think about it. My baby is ashes in a jar on my fireplace. Tears shed but I don't move, it's normal to cry over dead animals. I am considering getting another dog but I don't really know. I wipe my tears away and hold the jar of ashes, like normal it's stained with tears. I place is back smiling, even though my beloved is deceased... he will always be with me. It is kind of creepy but... the greatest of dog lovers would do the same. Enough of me rambling about loving animals, especially dogs. I have to go to work now, I take a shower and do my 'everyday routine' I really like my new job. It only goes from 11:00- 4:00 and it pays really well. Once I'm ready I walk out of my apartment and lock the door. I had a driver's licence though I never used it. I did buy a really nice car, it's silver and can fit 5 people. I drive to work and am met with being 10 min early.

After the good few hours of work I went home, I was now smiling like every other day at work. I am a maid if you were wondering. You probably also think that Travis is one too, nope. We took the same college but different courses, we work in the same building but different jobs. I clean and he cooks for a rich family, actually... It's the family of O'kasis. They always ramble on about how they dearly miss their eldest son who had moved long ago. I find it strange, some of the people there are super rude.. well all the residents are... the other workers there keep everyone else at high spirits. It is actually super awesome! the main reason it gets annoying working there is because no matter what pets are not allowed there. No wonder they're all rude, they've never had the dear joy of a pet. I start making dinner for myself, as I'm doing so I get a text from Laurance. I read it... but of course don't answer. What on earth does 'You will be seeing more of me, my love!' mean! I continue making food. What. Does. This. Mean?
