Alex POV

I dressed up slightly nicer than usual. I wore a dark green long sleeve shirt with jeans I've scribbled stars on. I wore black vans because I have no other shoes except really dressy shoes which wouldn't go anyway.

(y'all idk what I'm doin)

I walked to Starbucks at three, when his shift would end. I went through the glass door with a huge coffee cup sticker and made eye contact with John. He smiled sweetly and took off his apron. "Sorry I didn't wear something too fancy. Just a black shirt and jeans, like usual. Work clothes."

"No it's fine."

"Ooh okay so I don't really know anything about you, I've come to notice. What do you do? Where do you work? You like turtles? You like jazz? What's your Intro Hollywood story?"

I laughed. Then I stopped. What was I supposed to say? I have only one day to kill you? No! I said what I saw first. "Um Starbucks." I mentally slapped myself like seven times.

"Oh? Cool. I do too," he said jokingly. Aw.

"Oh and I do like turtles I guess. My friend calls me a lion, though, because my hair looks like a lion mane sometimes when I wake up."

He laughed. "I wanna see that. That sounds great."

We talked about life and other stuff like buddies do I guess. This was normal now. And I like it.

I was giving quite a bit away about me and my life. Just not my real job or my past. Everything else is okay I think.

-

A few hours later, I got a text from Washington. I had to go home and talk with Jefferson about money and stuff. Great.

I told John my dad called and he tensed up. He understood. And ew I called Washington my dad.

Since I walked but he drove, I walked with him to his car because like more time with him, right?

John POV

At least Alex's dad calls...

And he works at Starbucks? We're like barista buddies!

When he walked to my car with me, I got this surge of confidence and I hugged him. But when the huh was done, I kissed him. I felt so crazy but I loved it, oh my turtles.

His lips were soft and he smells like coffee. I probably do too, though. And it lasted for a few seconds, but to me it felt like two minutes. Maybe three minutes. Ahh.

When we pulled away he smiled and turned pink. Ahh. I did too.

"Wowiiee," I said.

"Me too." He cleared his throat. "So.."

"So..?"

"D-Do you want to be, uhh, like.."

"Boyfs?" I asked too eagerly. Shit, he probably doesn't know Be More Chill.

"What is a boyf? If it's some weird word for boyfriend then of course."

"Yeah! It's from a musical I like. It's called Be More Chill." I started singing A Guy That I'd Kinda Be Into in my head.

"Oh cool! Have you ever heard of Hamilton?"

"Oh. No?"

"I don't know it. I hear it's good."

"I'll get on that hehe."

Then we said bye and everything and I started squealing in my car because AAH he's so greeaaat!

Alex POV
