Tyler woke up cold. He felt like he was missing something. He stretched his arm out to the other side of his bed and felt nothing. Something's missing. Someone is missing. 'Where did he go?'

Tyler didn't want to get off the bed that always seems to be one hundred times more comfy in the morning than at night. Usually it takes him 20 minutes to get settled in at night and about 15 different sleeping positions until he's comfortable enough. Where as each morning, his bed feels like a cloud.

Tyler slowly opened his eyes as he let the light seeping through the small gap in the curtain that, unfortunately, landed on his eyes. Once adjusted, he sat up against his wooden bed frame. He rubbed his eyes with the palms of his hands and reached to his right to retrieve his phone that sat on the nightstand. He felt a rustle against his fingertips . Tyler looked and saw a yellow sticky note on his phone. He picked it up and it read:
Morning Tyler,
Sorry you didn't wake up to me next to you (You prolly wanted to see my sexy bod (; (; (; ) ha. Anyways waking up to you in my arms was cute. You snore a little.
I left around 8 so that I could go home and get ready for work.
Here's my number (614)555-3355. Message me whenever.
-Josh

Tyler smiled but mentally rolled his eyes. He checked the time and saw It was 9:26 am. He had to get ready for work which started at 10. Before getting off his bed, he added Joshs' number to his contacts.

Once he finished getting cleaned and dressed up he got in his car and drove to work. It wasn't a long drive. His workplace was only eight blocks away. He could have walked or biked over but he was running a bit too late for either of those two choices.

Tyler parked and as soon as he opened the door and took a step in, the scent of coffee filled his nostrils. Tyler worked at a coffee shop. A small one, not too popular like Starbucks. This coffee shop was called Moonbeans. Sure it was a weird name but Tyler liked it. Moonbeans had a certain attraction to more of the 'hipster', 'poets' and 'musical' type of people and not just basic white people. Tyler liked it. Especially the event that occurred every Wednesday at 8pm. They would have what the owner of the place called a 'Moon express' which is when people can sing songs, play instruments, and recite their poetry in front of the other people who were in the shop.

Tyler has shared some of his poetry a few times. But he would only share the ones he absolutely loved. This place was like a small second home to Tyler. Tyler looked around absorbing the new colors of Moonbeans.

"Tyler! There you are. Put on the apron and help serve." Itzel, the boss's daughter and one of Tyler's co-workers said.

Tyler quickened over to the other side of the counter to help make the hot and cold drinks ordered by the customers.

When business slowed down which was always around lunch hours, he messaged Josh.

To Josh: hey Jish it's Tyler.

From Josh: hi babyboy... 'Jish'?

To Josh: sorry I meant Josh

From Josh: Jish Jishwa joshwa william dun jsish jishwa

Tyler changed the contacts name.
To Jishwa the Idiot: shut up. I'm at work and bored

From jishwa the Idiot: wow :( just using me when you're bored. Not nice. Good bye forever. Blocked.

To Jishwa the Idiot: noo. Jish. Love me

From Jishwa the Idiot: I don't think that'll be a problem. After all, we are made from each other. But it'll take time.
