Alexander.

John's friends seem nice. Peggy seems like a good friend. Lafayette and Hercules seem cute together. I took a sip of my coffee. John looked at me. "You have uh, little something... I'll get it." He took a napkin and smoothed his thumb over my top lip gently. His thumb lingered alittle longer then necessary. He's so, angelic. Alex, watch yourself.

"Uh, got it." He blushed. I smiled. "Thanks, John." He looked up. "My friends call me alot of things, but most common is Jackie, or Jack." He took a sip of his coffee. "Alright. Hey, Jackie." I smiled. A smile spread across his face as well, his eyes became soft, and dream-like. "Hi Alex." I chuckled. This little "date" was quite nice. I learned alot about John. He loves turtles, and he can draw. He loves coffee, and has a job at a near by shop on the other side of campus. He has been friends with Hercules, Lafayette, Peggy and aparently her sisters since Junior year of highschool. Remarkable. Being a sophomore in college, it's alot nicer then I would've imagined. John is so sweet. I love his freckles, and how they are spread across his face, and his shoulders, it's adorable.

"It's already 6? I guess we should get back to our dorm, I have an assignment to work on." John sighs. "Maybe I can help." I said. "No, you should finish unpacking and setting up, then get some rest." He smiled. "Thankyou for being considerate. If you need any help, just ask." I said. "I will, lets go." He smiled again. We walked back to our dorm.

John went into his room and changed into a tank top and some sweatpants. I began to unpack the rest of my things, while Jackie sat at the table with his laptop. By the time I finally finished my room, it was 10:15 pm. I smiled to myself as I admired how nice it looked, then decided to dig for an old pair of black joggers along with an olive green t-shirt. I put my hair in my usual ponytail, then walked into the livingroom. I found Jackie slumped over the table with his fingers on the laptop still. He looked so helpless. I smiled to myself and decided to wake him up. "Dont touch my turtle!" He shouted, sitting up. I laughed. "Alex?" He said, looking at me. "Its 10:30, go to bed." I told him. "Fuck, is it really? This is due at 11:59!" He sighed. "Coffee?" I asked. He nodded. I walked to the counter and set up the coffee maker, I set it to brew two cappuccino latte's. About 7 minutes later, it was done. I walked over the table with both cups in my hands, handing one to John, I sat down.

"Thanks, Alex." He said. I nodded. "So how much do you have left to write." I asked. "Couple pages." He responded. "Hand me that laptop." I said. He looked at me. "I'm a fast typer, tell me what it is you need to type." He didnt argue this time, instead, he read me word for word of the essay he had pre-written on paper. "Done!" I smiled. He checked the time. "11:37." He smiled. "Thankyou, Alexander." His face lit up. "No problem, what are roomates/friends for?" I shrugged. He hugged me. "It means alot." I hugged back. "Like I said, no problem." We pulled apart, his face a slight shade of red. He logged out of his laptop and closed it. Then stood up. "Goodnight Alexander." He said with those dream eyes again.

"Goodnight, Jack." I smiled just as softlty. He walked to his room, yawning, and closed the door. I walked back to my room as well. Taking off my slippers, and shutting off my lamp, I put my phone down. I laid there, looking up. "I think I finally fell for someone mom." I whispered with a smile. I knew she would be proud of me. Soon enough, I drifted off to sleep.
