Date night

1.2

I was getting really bored alone doing nothing, for some reason scrolling on tumblr and watching YouTube just wasn't entertaining me like it usually did so I decided to go get some coffee at Starbucks while I waited for him to come back.

I walked up to the counter, hands stuffed into my hoodie pockets, and ordered a hot chocolate with extra marshmallows. "Okay, name please?" I told the nice lady my name and sat down at a table while I waited. I always sit in the same place by the window, the view wasn't spectacular but it was better than facing a red brick wall.

"W-what do you mean?" I turned around at a ladies voice, she sounded in distress and I wanted to help. "I mean we're over" there were only 2 other people in the room, a lady wearing space buns and an egg jumper. Also a man with his blond hair in a quiff and wearing a long, army green trench coat sat across from the lady.

"But I love you" my heart was breaking, that lady sounded so hurt and upset, I could see tears forming in her eyes and her lips were quivering "I don't love you" wow. That was a dick move. The lady began to sob and the man just stood up with his coffee and strut out the room like he was all that and a bowl of cereal.

Usually I try to avoid all human contact but I needed to see if she was ok. "Are you ok?" I approached her table gently, I didn't want to startle her "n-no!" I sat down at her table and leaned over towards her "look if you're just trying to do this to sleep with me then you can piss off!" Oh that's horrible. A man tries to help her and she thinks I'm trying to sleep with her?

"No no no, I'm gay" I reassured her, I patted her arm in an attempt to comfort her "it's just.. why did he brake up with me in a Starbucks?" I understand her pain, some one broke up with me behind a club by the bins while a half naked man was sat in his car waiting to have sex with him.

"Don't worry, he isn't worth it" I genuinely thought that, she looked so cool! The only people I know who wear space themed jumpers are me and most of my fans, and they're all pretty cool. "You wear space buns! And space jumpers! That's so cool!" She laughed through her tears and wiped them away "thank you" I kept talking to her for a while and eventually I learnt her name and we became friends.

"Apricot, if you want to come back to mine we can watch Netflix until my boyfriend comes back" that's sounded really weird, I should say that I don't want to 'Netflix and chill'. "By the way I am not inviting you for Netflix and chill" ok that sounded even worse "Ok, I don't have anywhere else to go".

I drove her back to mine and we were talking and making jokes about her ex all the way to mine, she was such a laugh. "Ok so here we are!" I opened my front door and she gasped "omg your house looks so cool!" I'm glad she liked it, apricot seems like she had really cheered up.

"YOU WATCH STUDIO GHIBLI FILMS??" She pointed at the totoro on my chair and yelled at me in disbelief. "Yeah! Ghibli movies are the best movies" she turned to look at me and I swear to god she looked like she had just witnessed the resurrection of Jesus "I am home" she mumbled.

"Aww, you're welcome to stay as long as you want, I have a guest ro-" she grabbed my shoulders and looked me dead in the eye "really? No joke?" I was a bit startled so I just nodded hoping that she would let go of me "Thank you so much Phil!" She released me from her grip and started to jump up and down like a 7 year old who had too many sweets.

"Let me show you the guest room" thank goodness my mum had come to visit a month ago, otherwise the guest room would've been filled with cardboard boxes and polaroids of me as a baby. I lead her down the hall and opened the door to her room, it was medium size and only slightly smaller than my room. "I cannot thank you enough for this Phil" it's incredible how much can happen when you go out for a Starbucks, all I wanted was a hot chocolate but now I have a temporary roommate. "Don't mention it".

I drew Apricot to help you imagine her a bit better
