Thomas' POV
I walked into my usual Starbucks and smiled at the usual customers.
"Hey Thomas! The usual?" Eliza, the barista asked me.
I nodded and smiled "You know it!"
As she started to make my drink, I looked over to my usual seat. I got a wave of shock as I saw a boy in my seat. He looked my age. Very pretty. Short curly hair and big brown eyes. He was sipping a tea. I got my drink and sat somewhere else, watching the boy. He was reading a book I couldn't quite recognize.
"He's in your seat." A voice said next to me.
I turned to see my friend Aaron. "Yes, I know."
"Aren't you going to do anything about it?"
"No."
He looked baffled "W-What? Thomas Jefferson doesn't let people walk all over him."
"Yes," I sighed "He's just- there's something about him. I haven't even talked to him, and I feel so... strange."
"Go talk to him then." He said simply.
I nodded and stood up, walking over to him. "Mind if I sit?"
He looked up at me with a bored look. He looked me up and down and gave a small shrug "Whatever."
His voice was so soft!! I smiled and sat down. He looked at me for a second, then looked back at his book. After a minute of silence, he closed his book.
"I had to finish the chapter." He said in his beautiful voice.
"It's okay! I'm Thomas by the way. Thomas Jefferson." I stuck my hand out.
"Nice to meet you." He shook my hand.
"What's your name?" I raised my eyebrow in confusion.
"James." He hesitated a little.
I smiled "What a beautiful name!!"
He squinted his eyes and then a small smile quickly appeared and disappeared on his lips. "The accent. Virginia, correct?"
I nodded "Yup, and proud!"
"You're too cheerful..." He mumbled.
I laughed "I'm just excited! A beautiful boy is talking to me!"
He flushed a dark red "I guess I could say the same thing."
I smiled and he gave me a small smile. Suddenly, his watch beeped "I gotta go. It was nice meeting you." He stood up and walked out.
I was confused for a second before I ran out after him. I saw him walk to the street and call a cab.
"James!!" I yelled, running to him.
He turned around and raised his eyebrow "What are you doing?"
"I didn't get your phone number!" I said taking my phone out.
"7732190." He said slowly as I typed it into my phone.
"Okay! I'll text you later!! Bye Jemmy!!"
"Jemmy?"
