Love Overcast // (ManxMan)

=Chapter 29=

A/N: I suggest this chapter to be read with the next one since continuation will enhance the experience. Also, there will be a man that will poke another man in the butt with something between his legs. So... sorry/you're welcome?

[Jameson]

My life as never been livelier.

"Sucks that you couldn't sleep over last night..." A yawn comes over the speaker while the razor passes down my jaw to get rid of the pesky stubble. Gotta look nice and cleaned up for my man at some point in my life.

"Sorry, but I have to be home once in a while, don't I?" I chuckle, running the razor underneath the tap to get rid of the foam and hair mixture. "Do you want me to come pick you up? Or should we meet downtown?" I ask, knowing that Owen enjoys his independence.

He hesitates for a second, "Come pick me up? I don't really feel like taking the bus." He giggles while Petra lets out a playful bark, "Thanks for offering to take me out today."

"It would be a nice change of scenery to go and experience the excellence of coffee, instead of hanging out in the same places all the time." I wash my face and do the necessary preparations to head out, not really rushing too much to get a response from Owen.

I've grown very close to him and I couldn't ask for more. Well, I could, but I won't test my luck too much just yet. Apart from hanging out at both our apartments from time to time, we have been going out together to the movies, having breakfast or dinner together before and after his work, going out for a run and what not.

One would suggest those activities are 'dates', but I attribute them to being a steady friendship. I haven't really discussed much about romance with Owen since a couple months ago, and now that it's mid-June, I think we've grown to know a lot about each other. Definitely not enough in my opinion, but we are certainly much more comfortable with each other.

The summer also helps with our activities outside since it's less enticing to just snuggle into a pile of blankets and watch anime for the entirety of the day. Though, those days still occur from time to time.

"That's true, I'm actually really excited, I've never seen the procedures that go into making coffee beans." Owen says as an afterthought, probably ready to brush his teeth now since I can hear the water running. "I'll see you soon, Jamie. I need to get ready."

"Aye aye, Captain." I chuckle after tapping on the end call button. I drop the towel around my waist and go search for some boxers. During the process of dressing, I pick up the pack of really expensive coffee that I ordered from Vietnam where some animal eats the coffee berry and shits out the beans and apparently that makes it worth a good $100 dollars.

Let's just say I bought it for the experience and not the product. I don't know how to appreciate coffee, Owen does. I wonder where he got his obsession from. Probably should've asked at some point since coffee is his water. Owen is 70% coffee and 30% teddy bear stuffing after all.

In any case, I'm bound to get a caffeine high today since we are going on some tour around a coffee factory of sorts. It ends with a tasting of coffee and coffee made products.

How exciting for a non-enthusiast?

I carefully stash the expensive gift to Owen in my bag before shaking my head. Oh, Jameson. The things you would do for him...
