50 REASONS WHY YOU'RE MINE

ARTHUR'S POV

I watched Alfred get up and headed to the bathroom to change into his uniform. He left me alone, some date. And of course Gilbert had to come along and drag Matthew. I suppose it really was my fault Mattie came, but maybe Gilbert and I could make them make up. It was like a double date, but one pair was dating in secret while the other weren't even dating. Well I don't think they're dating anyway. I gave them a sideways glance, they could make a cute couple, with the silent tall one and the loud short one. Al would murder Gilbert if he tried to flirt with Mattie. But wasn't he?

"So birdy, what do you want?" Gilbert asked, nudging Mattie. Mattie shrugged.

"Your no help." He complained. Mattie just pushed him.

"Fine but whatever you get, don't be mad at me." He pushed back. Matt elbowed him in the ribs, causing Gilbert to fall on top of him. They both casually got up as if nothing was wrong.

My eyes darted between the two of them, and I smirked knowing very well what was happening.

"I won't tell Al, but you two should work on your ways of being discreet."

"What?"

"Alfred would kill Gilbert if he knew Mattie bore a crush on him. Of course it's a two way street. And don't lie, it is easy to see. I won't tell I just offer a bit of advice, don't make googly eyes in public."

"We're not making googly eyes!!!" Mattie practically tore the paper, turning red.

"Whatever you say. Now what would you like to drink? I'll order for you." I smiled taking note of Alfred at the cashier spot.

"Maple coffee please."

"Beer? No I'm kidding, do they have Salted Caramel lattes?"

"I think so, I'll check." I waved and walked to the counter."

Alfred smirked and started in a southern accent. "Hello little lady, what'll it be today?"

"Hm." I placed my hands on my chin thoughtfully. "Let's see, a maple coffee, Salted Caramel latte and Royal English Breakfast Tea."

"Tea? You order salad at McDonald's and Tea at starbucks? Who are you?"

"I am the night, fear me."

"Ooo scary." He smiled warmly. I smiled back staring into those beautiful sky blue eyes and I sighed.

"Will that be all Mrs. Night?"

"Why yes Mr. Night, it is. See ya later alligator." I winked.

Alfred laughed and went to work. Our table was right next to the serving bar so I could keep an eye on Al while keeping conversation with the boys.

"Did they have them?"

"Yes, I got you one." I sat down.

"Thanks broha."

"So about our history projects, that was why we came here, wasn't it?"

"Yas." Gilbert nodded slowly "So I think we need just a little bit of help with organizing this mess."

Mattie elbowed him.

"Well I suggest coming up with outline of sorts. What do you want to include in each slide? Then I would print out a paper on the internet that lists all the countries and work my way down the list slide by slide."

Gilbert nodded. "Sounds awesome enough for me."

I smiled and looked past Gilbert to see Alfred handing a drink to a young woman. She giggled and knocked the drink over by accident.
