Alex POV :3

John really is a sweetheart. He literally went outside of his comfort zone just for little old me. I must've done something so right to deserve him.

Lately, John has been more affectionate. I wonder what that's about? If he knows something is off he will immediately try to make everything better, which is very unlike him.

I made breakfast today, eggs and bacon with an English muffin. Bringing him breakfast, his eyes lit up. "Thank you so much my cinnamon roll!"

"Uh, you're the cinnamon roll with those sprinkled cinammon freckles you have all across your cute little cheeks." I said back. He blushed and looked back at his phone in defeat. I giggled.

While I searched online for places hiring, I let my food get cold. I guess I wasn't even that hungry, which is fine. I don't really need breakfast, it's just kind of a luxury. I plugged my headphones in and continued searching.

John and I have this understanding where if one of us cooks, the other cleans afterwards. When he was done with his food, he grabbed his plate and walked over to me. I felt a pair of soft lips kiss my forehead and a warm hand laid on top of mine. "You've hardly eaten, babe."

"I know. I'm looking for somewhere to work.." I started, "I could work as a stereotypical gay barista. Would you order from me?" I joked.

"Of course I would. Every single day. You'd be fueling my coffee addiction with a family discount, y'know."

I scoffed in a joking manner, "No, only I would get discounts. You'd be paying full price." I looked back at him expecting to walk away, which he did.

Going back to my search, I found a job listing at the airport that John used to go to and from London. Starts at $12 an hour, not bad. "Hey John what do you think about this one?"

He walked back to his previous spot, doing the same thing as before, kissing my forehead and placing his hand over mine. It makes my heart flutter. "Huh.. not a bad place. I don't see an issue with it." He said.

I emailed them my resume and closed my laptop. I walked over to John, who was hiding his phone screen. "What's up Lil ho."

"Nothing much, just kinda looking for something to do." He said quickly. "I mean, we've done basically everything there is to do out here. I want something different."

I raised my eyebrows and gave it a second thought. John never wants to leave the house, why would he all of a sudden seek adventure?

Plugging in my laptop, I let the thought melt away. Walking over to John, my hands pulled at his arms so I could snake my way into his grip, until my whole body was blocking his phone from his field of vision. I pawed at his hair in a seductive manner, looking to tease him. He took the bait and put his phone away so that it was me and him time. Without a single word, he tucked his finger under my chin and pulled me in for a passionate kiss. The kiss turned into sexy cuddling, which then moved to the bedroom. (y'all I'll leave that to ya imaginations ;D).

Feeling satisfied, I looked out the window. Darkness. Not realizing how late it actually was, I took a shower. To my surprise, John had disappeared from his previous place on the bed. Getting dressed, I took a peek around the property to find out he had made a spot on the couch, fallen asleep with his phone in his hand. I sighed and walked up the stairs to get ready for bed...
