Rough roads - ༺ Philip x Reader ༻

❀࿐ Chapter two

༺ Your P O V ༻

I woke up and went downstairs to see my brother by the table reading a newspaper sighing as he read. "Good morning brother- is something wrong?" I asked with light concern and he looked up from the paper

"Just Hamilton and Jefferson on the front page...again." He muttered frustratedly "Another cabinet battle where Hamilton last his cool and went on a rampage, nothing but trouble they are." At first I had just nodded along but then I realised- and clearly he did as well.

"Wait, isn't that young Hamilton your friend- Peter is it?"
"Philip-" I corrected "-and yes he is...though that doesn't mean anything"
He drummed his hands on the table tutting "dear sister, don't play dumb, they're nothing but trouble, just- be careful." I sighed in defeat not wanting an argument so early in the morning "Alright..."

I grabbed breakfast quickly and by breakfast I mean essentially the first thing in the fridge That appealed to me. "I'm going out!"
"It's 9am—"
But I was already gone

࿐✰ Time skip

Despite having breakfast (not that I'd call it a proper breakfast) I had decided to settle in a small comfy cafe with a toastie and muffin with a glass of orange juice, just a simple yet proper suitable breakfast and I didn't expect to see a familiar face and to girls, oh no- they've noticed me...should I be glad? There's something that gets me excited yet nervous when he makes eye contact with me

"Y/n!" He called as the two girls followed him
"Good morning Philip" I replied softly to his greeting, a little shy
"Do you mind if we sit with you? Not to be a nuisance but so you wouldn't be alone, unless you'd prefer..."
"Oh! No it's fine...I don't mind! Have a seat" I responded a little flustered pulling out a chair for him and the two girls and they sat down
"So you're name is y/n? Cool!" One of the girls smiled, she had wavy long hair in a pony tail, chocolate brown like Philip's and brown eyes to match
She was very pretty...I wonder if she was Philip's girlfriend perhaps?
The girl beside her was a dark skinned girl with emerald eyes and jet black hair, the two of them were stunning and I tried not to look down on myself

"I'm Angelica Hamilton, this idiot's younger, but not by much- sister! You can just call me Angie though" she beamed
Oh gosh, I though she was his girlfriend- glad I didn't say that out loud.
"And I'm Theodosia Burr, Theo is fine too" and the dark girl lent out her hand and I shook hers in return and noticed Philip cocking his head to the side, I forgot to introduce myself
"Nice to meet you both, I'm y/n Eacker"
"Pleasures all ours" Theodosia smiled
I noticed the three had milkshakes, Theo with a chocolate milkshake while Philip and Angie both had vanilla.

"You don't suppose I could have you number do you...?" He asked taking out his phone "just so you can talk to us more of course! No other reason ah ha"
Oh. I don't know why I'm disappointed, in fact I'm happy to be in a group with them already.
"Of course, here" I replied handing him my phone with my number
"Great, thanks! I've added mine on yours too"

"Psh, can me and y/n have a moment?"
The two siblings nodded, slightly confused though
"O-oh? Sure?"

"Do you like Philip?"
That was rather blunt, do I?
"Do you like him?" I answered with a question turning it back on her
Gosh, I didn't mean to say that, dammit
"Well...yes, but if you like him then I want you to know I won't try and get in the way, he chooses who he chooses right?" She whispered
"I suppose..."
Everything was going to fast for my liking now, do I love him? I don't even know!

"We're done" she smiled to him
"Great timing, me and Angie have to head home...Mother wants us back, not sure what for so we'd best go check what she wants, goodbye Theo, and pleasure seeing you again y/n~" he purred leaving with a wink

Since they had left and Theo had to go soon after I decided to look around more, opening my phone I saw a new message, two new messages...

Big bro: where are you? What are you doing? Are you with that Hamilton again?

Philip: Just making sure your number works darling~
Can't wait for us to get closer, maybe we could sort out a time to hang out some time, whatever suits your fancy, have a great day 💕

George is far too doubtful about Philip...he's so sweet. He'll just have to deal with it. But back to the question Theo asked me...

Do I love him?
