Octavia's P.O.V.
I woke up feeling well rested. Turning towards the digital clock on the nightstand, I saw that the time was 8:11.
Maybe I could go for a run and explore the city.
I decided that I would go for a run and that I would be back by 9:30 at the latest.
Maybe when I'm done I can find a coffee shop or something. I hope I don't get lost.
I changed into black spandex shorts and a tank top. After that, I put my hair up in a high ponytail along with a headband. Finally, I put on a pair of socks and running shoes, brushed my teeth, and then went into the kitchen to grab a water bottle.
When I entered the kitchen, I immediately saw Joji, who was facing away from me. He was wearing flannel pajama pants and no shirt.
！(◎_◎;)
"Good morning." I said with little emotion as I headed to the fridge to grab a water bottle. I think he was making some kind of eggs or something, but he put the wooden spoon down as soon as he heard my voice. "Hey..." He said awkwardly, scratching his head while looking at me. I noticed that this was a nervous habit of his.
"Whatcha making?" I asked with a smile. Joji picked up the wooden spoon again and started mixing around the eggs and vegetables that were simmering in a pan. He turned the stove off and fetched some leftover white rice from the fridge. He heated it up in the microwave and said, I made eggs with vegetables and I'm gonna put that on top of rice. Want some?"
I shook my head no and stated, "I'm actually going out for a run. I'll be back in about an hour." I made my way out of the kitchen, but stopped when I heard Joji calling my name. Turning around, he was right behind me.
"Do you want to go out with me tonight?" Joji asked, grabbing my hand. When he was this close to me, he towered over me, forcing me to tilt my head up towards him. "Sure." I replied, "I'll see you in a bit."

I came home (very) sweaty after my run. Using the key that Ethan gave me yesterday, I opened the apartment door and set my phone down on the kitchen counter.
"You're finally home!" Hila greeted me as she walked into the kitchen. "Did you go for a run?" she asked.
I laughed and pointed at my face, which is always tinted red after I exercise. "Sure did." I replied, picking up an apple from the fruit bowl. I looked back up at Hila, who was staring at me.
"What?" I asked, as a bit into my apple.
"I heard him ask you out this morning." She commented, with a smirk on her face. "Wanna fill me in, or should I just ask–?"
"Hey." Joji said as he made his way into the kitchen. Hila gave me a look, and then left the room to go watch TV or something. Joji and I both watched her leave, and then when she was gone, he grabbed my hand and asked, "Do you like sushi?" I nodded. "Good." He said, lacing his fingers with mine. "Be ready at seven." Is all he said to me before putting his lips on mine. I felt a rush throughout my body as he moved his soft lips against mine. He tasted like mint and cigarettes. I pulled away from him and looked straight ahead at his chest, my face redder than before. I let go of his hand and told him, "I have to go shower" before heading to the bathroom.
