Love is beautiful (lams)

At the cafe

Alex's pov

I slowly opened my eyes, still tired from crying last night. I flipped myself over, and I find myself facing a beautiful, sleeping John. He pulls me closer to his chest, his arms around my waist.

I think back to last night, and how John had been so caring to me. I rest my head on his chest, and listen to the beat of his heart. It's like a beautiful song. Without realising it, I start humming to myself. The humming turned to light singing.

"You have a really beautiful voice, Alex."

I jump out of my skin. John must've woke up while I was singing. He's still half asleep...his voice sounds so cute oh my god...is everyone this attractive in the morning? And now I was blushing like crazy!

"J-John! Sorry if I woke you, I-"

"It's ok Lex, I like waking up to an angel singing to me."

Whaaaaaat oh my lord is he flirting with me I hope he's flirting with me I'm blushing even more now holy shiiiiit aaaaAAAAAAHHHH!!!!

"Hey, I'm really sorry about your cousin, I was heartbroken to see you crying like that."

I nuzzled back into his chest again.

"Yeah, he meant alot to me...thanks, John, for comforting me, y'know? If it weren't for you I wouldn't have anyone...."

"You're welcome Alex....and I'll always be here for you, anything you need."

Crap I'm blushing so much.....

"So, it's the last free day before classes start, and me and some of my friends are heading to the cafe...if you're up to it, you're welcome to join us."

I thought about it. I should really go outside and get my mind off the sadness, and making new friends wouldn't hurt at all...

"Ok, sounds good." I smiled up at him, and we sat in a comfortable silence for awhile.

Johns pov

Alex was just so....stunning. His face is a work of art, and I could look into his eyes forever. He just laid there on my chest, both of us comfortable on his bed. As much as I wanted this to last, I had to get ready for today.

"Well, I'm going to go shower, we'll leave between 10:40 and 11:00, ok?"

"Mkay, that works for me."

He lazily rolled off my chest, plopping back on the bed. We both giggled.

I washed my hair, enjoying the sweet aroma of my shampoo. I got out of the shower and put my sweatpants on, only to find I forgot my shirt. Oh well, I'm sure Alex wouldn't mind.

I walked outside the bathroom and grabbed a shirt, and felt a pair of eyes on me. I turned around, and saw Alex staring at me. I blushed, his face was in awe.

"Erm, Alex?"

"Hm? Oh! Sorry! I'm really sorry, it's just...do you work out?" He looked at the ground and also blushed.

I then realized what he was talking about. My body was really toned, especially my chest and stomach area. I had a pretty nice six-pack going, and it seemed to impress Alex. Yes!

"Oh, I go on runs alot, but gyms are way too expensive. It's like 50 dollars per push-up." I said sarcastically.

Alex laughed at that, I'm glad I make him happy.

Alex took a shower. By the time he was done, it was around 10:00, and we still had time to spare.

I brushed through my hair and pulled it in a pony tail. I sat next to Alex and we talked about the classes we were taking.

He was majoring in business, and I was majoring in biology.

"Yeah, I'm minoring in acting, but mostly because my friends are in it." I said. His eyes lit up.

"No way, so am I! It's not as boring as it seems, I promise!" Alex said. Yes, score! Alex was in acting too! "Well, atleast it'll be more interesting with you there." I said. He blushed.

"Well, it's 10:45, we should get going."

"Yeah, let's go."

Just then, I get a text from the group chat.

Frenchfry- Herc and I are on our way down, hbu guys?

Smolturtle- yep, heading down with Alex now.

Angelfish- we'll be down in 5-10 minutes, we're just doing our makeup.

Hotpants- You girls and your makeup, I can't even.

Lovelyliza- hey, don't judge, we just want to look pretty!

Pegs- hmph, you think waiting is ruff? Try living with them...

Lovelyliza-😙

Angelfish- Aww, y'know you love us Pegleg!

Smolturtle- I'm sure you all look beautiful, just hurry up!

Frenchfry- Aww, John wants to make everything perfect for his future bf!

Smolturtle- shut up....

Lovelyliza- ok, we're on our way, see you soon!

End of group chat

When I put my phone away, I could see the cafe a few yards down. Herc and Laf were waiting for us. They smiled when they saw Alex and I.

"Bonjour, John! Is this Alex, the friend you always talk about?" Herc chuckled. Damn it, Laf. Behind me, Alex was blushing.

"Herc, Laf, this is Alexander."

"Bonjour, nouvel ami, j'mappelle Lafayette, but you can call me Laf."

"Hi, I'm Hercules, but please, call me Herc."

"It's a pleasure meeting you." Alex replied. Everything was going smooth, until a certain somebody yelled.

"WHAT'S UP BITCHES?"

Alex jumped, and Herc, Laf, and I chuckled.

"The Schuyler sisters! How are my girls?" I said.

"Pretty good!" Angelica, Eliza, and Peggy said in unison.

"Alex, these are the Schuyler sisters." I said.

"Hi, I'm Angelica, call me Angie."

"I'm Elizabeth, but call me Eliza. And this is-"

"And I'm Peggy! Nice to meet you Alex!"

Alex was shy, but he was happy to meet everyone.

Alex's pov

Soon after introducing eachother, we sat at a booth. We talked alot about classes and how we were all in drama. Peggy and John were often whispering back and forth.
I sighed to myself and poked at my sunny side down eggs. They were probably dating! Ugh I'm so stupid, I never even had a chance with John.....

"Hey, Alex, can I talk to you for a sec?" It was Peggy. Oh no, I hope she hadn't realized my crush on John, crap, this could be bad....

"Sure, Peggy." She pulled me a few yards away from our booth.

"So, what do you think of John?"
She asked me. I was a bit surprised she asked me that.

"Well, he's, erm, pretty cool! He goes on runs, he's muscular, he's got cute freckles, and he's so attractive...." I blushed and shut my mouth.

"Gah! I mean, he's probably attractive to people, a-and-" I thought Peggy would be so mad, but she was- smiling?
