12: starbucks conversations

i waited for jack and conor in the same spot i was in. i kept glancing at the clock wondering when they were finally going to arrive.

i had already ordered my second drink, but this time i got something new. a smores frappuccino.

the doors opened forcefully and two men walked inside laughing and pushing themselves.

jack and conor.

jack paused in his tracks and started looking around the small shop, finally looking at my way.

i saw him smile and nudge his brother, and they both started walking over to me.

conor was the one to talk first.

"so this is her? the kik girl?"

i laughed and stood up, "i guess i am the kik girl. it's nice to meet you conor."

conor smirked, "ah, all the ladies know my name."

jack finally spoke, "conor man, shut up. go order something."

conor mocked him and went to order.

jack laughed to himself, "sorry about him, he's weird like that. it's nice to see you again, even though i can hardly remember."

i smiled at him, "it's alright, i don't mind. and yeah, nice to see you again too, i love joseph."

he groaned and took a seat across from me, "oh, shut up lilah."

conor came back and put their drinks down, "whats up?"

"she's making fun of my username."

conor bursted out laughing, slamming his hands on the table, "oh my gosh, best thing ever."

"mate, it's not funny. you guys ruined me."

"jack, bro. you lost, you had to do the bet."

i just stared at them, completely interested in their way of speaking to each other.

conor stood up, "well, i'll leave you two. i have to meet up with someone to record. it was nice to meet you lilah, see you later bro."

i smiled and waved, "same here, bye!"

jack just nodded and sipped on his drink.

after a few seconds he cleared his throat and spoke, "so, what brings you to this starbucks?"

"well, my apartment building is like, five minutes away."

he widened his eyes, "oh, really? that means we live pretty close by."

"if you're gonna stalk me, let me know first so i can move out," i replied jokingly.

he laughed, "i'll let you know."

for a while, we talked about anything that came to our heads. we talked about youtube, music, starbucks drinks and about our thoughts of the world.

i checked the time on my phone and saw that it had been a few hours since we've been in starbucks.

jack looked at me, "i should probably go, the guys are all going out again and they're waiting for me."

"yeah, i should go too. does that mean theres going to be a bunch load of drunk messages from you?"

he laughed loudly, "probably, but the messages will be better sent if i had your number."

i chuckled, "smooth," and handed him my phone while he gave me his.

"the maynard brothers are full of smoothness."

i snorted, "sure, ilovejoseph."

jack glared at me. i just laughed and walked to the door, him right behind me.

"i'll see you later, lilah."

"see ya, jack!"

and we both walked to different directions.
