My Starbucks Boy

17 Δ Nostalgia

Beautiful.

It was a word I would never have thought would be used to describe me. I always thought that I was fat and weird and thought that was how everyone saw me. Never would I or anyone used the big, 'B' word to describe me, Adrien Wynter.

But last night, Mikey Lopez, the boy I met at Starbucks, the boy that looked as if he stepped fresh out of a movie, the boy that I had a massive crush on, said I was beautiful. Not only did he say I was beautiful, he listed like a dozen more wonderful things to describe me, completely shattering my insecurities.

Oh gosh, I can still hear that beautiful sentence in my head, I can still see his lips moving to form the words.

Adrien Wynter, will you be my girlfriend?

I could just die. Literally. Jasmine needed to pinch me right now because this must be a dream. But even if this was a dream, I would sleep forever.

As the moments of last night replayed in my head, I sank further into the comfy couch and smiled. Moving my hand from out of the blanket that I was wrapped up in, I touched my lips. My eyes fluttered shut as I remembered Mikey's soft lips against mine. I could just die of happiness right now.

The sound of my phone ringing blasted through the room, dragging me from my thoughts.

My eyes flew open to see that 'The Faults In Our Stars' was still playing on the T.V. I had forgotten all about that. Stretchingmy hand, I grabbed the small device to see who was calling.

"Oh my God" I squealed, accepting the video call with shaky hands.

"ADRIEN!!!" Three different voices chorused through the phone screen, causing my grin to widen, and my eyes to close slightly as I winced.

"Shut up you guys! Still loud as ever I see" I laughed, rubbing my ears.

"We miss you so much" my youngest brother squealed, a loud sound that had me almost tearing up.

"Shut up Leroy" Madison yelled, pushing a bit before placing her face right in front the camera.

"Adrien how's it been? So much has been going on here you have no idea. How has school been? How are you?" She blasted me with question upon question. I had no time to reply.

But tears gathered in my eyes. I had missed them so much it hurt.

"ADRIENN" Madison's immediate junior, Daniel, yelled, pushing Madison out of the way and grinning.

"Oh my God you and Leroy are so grown up! It's been so long I bet you'll be taller than me now" I gushed to my brothers, seeing their over excited grins.

"Uh huh. I'm even taller than Madison now. She's been butt hurt about it ever since mom mentioned it"

"Shut up" Madison giggled, finally sitting beside Daniel and smiling into the camera.

I kept shut for a bit, letting them go on and on about everything that had been going on, our parents, and their lives in general.

Then they asked of Jasmine and I had to wake her up so they could talk.

"Boys, could you excuse Madison and I? We gotta talk about something"

"Ooh is it boy stuff?" Leroy giggled, wiggling his 7 year old eyebrows.

"Get out Leroy. Or I'm gonna crack your skull"

The speed at which my little brother flew up, was hilarious. I wonder the kind of bad things Madison had been doing to him.

"So what's up?" She asked, her chubby face filling up the camera, as if getting closer would stop anyone trying to eavesdrop from doing so.

I admired my little sister for a lot if things. Her maturity was one of them. When we used to walk together, people used to ask if we were twins, or if she was older. It annoyed me for a while, but then I started finding it funny.
