Flowers and Coffee

1. Coffee

Alex was born in a small part of the caribbean. He had never gone to school but his mother often gave him lessons of some sort. He was extremely smart 18 and about to enter sophomore year of college but it was his first time going to college, and he was not ready. His social skills were... rusty. He didn't have many friend but he never stopped talking. He was often told to shut up.

Alex's Pov:

I opened the door to my new dorm. It was bigger than I thought it would be. The smell of 500 dollar books attacked my senses. "Bonjour mon ami!" said a tall frenchman. "Salut" I quietly answered back. "Wait, you speak french" asked another man. He was even bigger then frenchie. "Yes, fluently actually."

They all introduced themselves. The french man's name was Lafayette. The other was called Hercules. "I thought there was supposed to be 4 people in one room?" I asked. "Yes" stated Hercules "Our other roommate John left his stuff here and rushed to work." "He already has a job?" I asked. "Actually he has had this job for a while. We all live in New York and went to the same high school" said Lafayette. Great, they all know each other. Now i'll be all alone knowing nothing about what it's like in a city. Or what it's like having friends. We talked and talked until it was quit late. "Shit, I haven't unpacked anything " I said. "That's fine, but you should probably get some coffee across the street. You're going to need a lot of energy for you're first day tomorrow." answered Lafayette.

It was super late already, when I got to the shop and there was only one man. I walked in and asked if they were still open. "Well.. I was about to close but i'll definitely make you a cup of coffee." He said with a smile.

John's Pov: 

I was working late at night when a guy walked in asking for some coffee. I couldn't turn him down because, damn he was cute. "Well.. I was about to close but i'll definitely make you a cup of coffee." I said with a huge smile. I swiftly pulled a lever to prepare a latte. What's your name?" I asked. "Alex" he answered. I wrote the name on the cup and placed it in front of him. I sat down across from him. "I hope you don't mind if I ask why you're here so late?" I attempted to say without blushing. Was I flirting?  "It's my first day of college."  

We talked for a really long time. I found out a lot about him. His name is Alex, he is from the caribbean, he is a sophomore at the same college as me, he is openly bi and available. If I'm being honest I may have a small crush on him. I think he likes me too. I gave him my number "Maybe i'll see you around school" He said. I opened the door for him and he walked out.

an hour later I walked to my dorm and slid into my bed.
