♪"Wake up! Get up! Get out there!"♪

Oliver woke up with a groan to the loud Persona 5 ringtone. Maybe it was an emergency? With a large yawn, he grabbed his phone and responded.

"Good morning. Who are you and what have you done to my best friend?" He asked the other person on the other end.

"Morning Ollie! What do you mean? It's same little old me!"

Oliver pulled his phone away from his ear and looked at the time."Sid, it's six am. You're never awake at this time. What's going on? Is everything okay?"

There was an annoyed sigh, and finally,"Serena woke me up and I couldn't go back to sleep. So the only reason I'm alive right now and speaking like a human being, is because of espresso. Anyway, I decided to sink your ship down with me."

Oliver yawned, relieved it was nothing big, then put on his glasses and got up, stretching before fixing the bed."Oh yeah? Unfortunately for you I needed to get up anyway. I need to go open shop, and-"

"Yeah yeah yeah, busy bee Ols. Listen, I'll be over at the shop in thirty, get my usual ready for me when I get there, then I wanna hear about the guy you mentioned yesterday. No excuses boy."

Click.

Right that. He almost regretted mentioning the encounter to her.

It wasn't a big deal though, and he kept telling himself it was another one of those times where he met someone attractive and never saw them again. Although there was something about him that was strangely familiar.

However, it wasn't a big deal. It was just someone really attractive. With a really nice smile, and really pretty eyes.

I'll probably never see him again though, and he's probably straight anyway.

He splashed his face with cold water, hoping it would wash away the face of the cute stranger who liked sweets.

"So spill. You seemed really shaken up by this guy." Sid sipped her espresso, as she leaned on a freezer, eyeing the chocolate cake Oliver was decorating with interest.

"Shaken up? No, I told you, he was just...really good looking," he replied, adding raspberries in the center of the cake. He glanced at Sid, and sighed by her glare."It was literally nothing."

"I was just getting things ready for the sponge cake, and once it was ready, he was already standing by the counter. I haven't seen him before...when I saw him, I just kind of froze,"he put the cake on a decorative plate."He kind of did the same thing...he probably thought I was a complete weirdo for staring at him, like who does that?"

Sid cut him off with a look that said 'you're overthinking this', and he let out a breath.

"Anyway, he just bought some chocolates and a few desserts I had left for the day. He seemed to have somewhere to be. Maybe he was a model or something."

"But what about him? How'd he look like? Please don't tell me he was a basic fu-,"

"No! He was actually...he was really well dressed. He had his hair slicked back so neatly...and he had stubble...but not in a messy kind of way, the kind of stubble that looks hot on only some people. He had really pretty grey eyes...I think he left in a limo too."
