 Alfred decided to shower at around 5:30, telling me he'd probably take a while but we can have some dinner and show him around town. Well, out of boredom of waiting here (and being a person to shower in mornings anyway) I started wiping down counter tops and windows (which took insanely long with the amount of small tables I bought to keep books and random small items on) so I put on some music. I lost track of time and started cleaning the windows, singing along to Dear Future husband. Wow, since when was this song on my phone? Eh, it's catchy and I like it. Before I noticed I was singing along. Bad choice, I need to break out of embarrassing habits with guests over...

The song ended, me completely abandoning the window, when I heard clapping. My head shot up to see Alfred in a pair of blue jeans and a light blue short sleeved button up. He smiled as I jumped to turn off the music before something weird started playing. Wow, great first day with my soulmate, I seem crazy already. Oh god he's probably wishing we got someone else as a soulmate. Shit, uh, act casual.

"So, uh, existing huh? Like wow, psh, we exist. It's crazy."

Well there goes acting casual...

Alfred just burst out laughing and put an arm around my shoulder, making me shrink a bit more, "Your singing voice is really nice! You should sing more often! And yeah, wow, existence. I'm glad I could exist with you"

And wouldn't you believe it, he winked. Yeah, no, death. I've made a mistake. He's teasing me. Just shrink into a pile and pretend you don't exist, It'll be fine. Or redirect it casually to plans tonight. And actually casually, not like earlier.

"Wow so pretend that never happened. Plans tonight, bring a jacket because here is cold as all hell during the night. There are some cute small restaurants near where I work, which would kill two birds with one stone. We'll get something we can walk around with and tour a bit before it gets to late! Does that sound good?" , I started fidgeting, feeling suddenly very self-conscious about what I was wearing.

"Sounds great! I'll grab a jacket and meet'cha right back out here!"

He bolted to get his jacket and I just walked behind, It's seems he's already forgotten all his stuff is in my room. I walked in while he quickly rummaged through his suitcase and opened my closet, grabbing a dark blue light hoodie. I walked out behind Alfred, who seemed like a ball of energy. He seems like a dog person. You know what, he probably is. I grabbed my keys off a nearby table (they are everywhere) and walked through the door Alfred opened, smiling up at him and locking it behind him.

So, time to start an official date I guess?
