        I walked out of my house at 3:30 wearing a pair of dark wash jeans, a batman t-shirt, black converse, and a grey "Giants World Series Champions" baseball cap, and a sweatshirt loosely tied around my waist, I never leave the house without a sweatshirt. As crazy as it sounds I'm actually going to meet that guy that kept blowing up my phone yesterday. I just think that it takes balls to call and ask someone you don't even know out to coffee like that, yeah it was awkward as hell and  as far as I know he could be some psycho crazy serial killer but I'll take my chances. I thought I'd walk over there, just because it's a beautiful day and the fresh air and exercise will be good for me. Jay and Chris are going to meet me there, they don't think meeting this guy is a good idea so they are going to sit a few tables away and just keep an eye on things, being the overprotective friends they are. While I'm walking I plug my headphones into my phone and start my 5 Seconds of Summer playlist.

---------- At Starbucks 3:45 ----------

        So I know I'm early but here's how I figure it, get here and just sit outside with my green tea lime refresher and watch all the people that come in, maybe get a look at the guy before I go meet him. Jay and Chris are horrid at being nonchalant by the way, if they aren't staring at me they are practicaly glaring daggers at any poor sap that comes within 50 feet of my table, this will be lovely.... My phone rings an when I look at the caller i.d. it's "Liam" calling, might as well put a name to the number right? 

        "Hello?"

        "I see you."

        "What are you, some stalker now?"

        "Maybe... No, but seriously I thought it would be easier to figure out who you are by just calling your phone."

        "Oh yeah? And how did you know that I'd show up?"

        "I didn't"

        "Alright wise guy, are you just gonna hide while we talk on the phone all day or are you actually going to join me for coffee?"

        "I'm not hiding, look to your left." 

        "There is a wall to my left."

        "Your other left." So I do, there is only one guy that has a phone pressed to his ear. What is he even wearing? Seriously, he has on a pair of white wash jeans, a 3/4 sleeve band tee, tan work boots, like the ones you see construction workers wearing, a snapback, and a flannel shirt tied around his waist. Might as well ask right?

        "What are you even wearing?"

        "You don't like this? I must be off my game, girls usually love this look. Then again maybe it's just because I'm a sexy beast." Not knowing what to say to that I just burst out laughing. It takes me a minute to recover because it actually seems like he believes what he just said.

        "You actually believe that don't you? Let me just clarify things for you then, I do not, nor will I ever consider you to be a 'Sexy Beast'."

        "And why not?"

        "Because I don't find you appealing? I mean don't get me wrong, I'm sure some people might find you attractive but I am not one of those people."

        "Fair enough. So you know my name but I don't know yours."

        "I'm Ray, I'm sarcastic, get hyper easily, and most people don't like me. I have no talent whatsoever and I live and breathe music and reading. Your turn."

        "Alright then, I'm Liam, which you already knew, I AM a sexy beast, whether you want to admit it or not and um, well don't freak out but I may or may not be 1/5 of a world famous boyband..." He looked down then up to me kinda shy like. 

        "Did you really think I hadn't noticed? I don't live under a rock you know, I actually quite like your guys' music but you, you're just a regular guy so there is no reason for me to loose my marbles just because you are standing in front of me."

        "Oh come on, you're not even a little phased that out of everybody that I could be talking to right now that I am here and talking to you?"

        "Full of yourself much? That's like me telling you that I could be anywhere else but instead I chose to come have coffee with you, and that was before I knew your last name was Payne. No, to me you are just Li some weirdo that blew up my phone when he had no idea who I was, not 'Liam Payne of One Direction'."

        "It's a good thing that I like that quality in a person then huh?"

        "No it's just good for you that I'm not a screaming fangirl asking you to have my children."

        "Do you ever just not have an answer to something?"

        "No she doesn't, always has a comeback for everything, gets rather annoying doesn't it?" That would be Jay who is now beside me with his arm slung around my shoulders. Just let me say now that the expression on Liam's face is priceless, a mix of confussion and disgust that some dude just walked into our conversation and started hanging off of me.

        "Excuse me but you need to step away from her, who do you think you are just walking up here and not only interupting our conversation but practacly crushing her under your enormous weight."

        "Whoah, down boy. This is my big brother Jay, I do agree that it was rude for him to barge in like that and that yes he is a fat ass that needs to get. off. of. me." I said that last part while pushing him away from me.

        "Liam, Jay. Jay, Liam. Now that there have been introductions and Jay you can see he isn't some psycho rapist you can go. And as for you popstar you can buy me another one of these." At that I shook my empty cup at him, the ice rattling around inside of it.

        The rest of the evening was spent just walking around town chatting about pretty much everything. I'm actually surprised we weren't mobbed by crazy fans. I got home at 8 and not five minutes later my phone vibrated with a text message.

        Psycho Crazy(Liam): I had a good time today. It was really nice to be treated like just Liam and not the guy from One Direction. The lads and I are gonna have a hang out tomorrow with 5 Seconds of Summer and Josh our drummer and I was wondering if you would like to come, maybe bring Jay and that other girl that was at the coffe shop today?

        Me!: Yeah, sounds fun. Just let me know when and where. I had a nice time today too by the way.

        Psycho Crazy(Liam): Alright, we were just thinking that park with the train toy? It's kind of out of town so maybe it won't be too crowded. Around 1 is when we plan on heading out.

        Me!: Sounds great, see you then Li. I'm going to call it a night though. Goodnight. :)

        Psycho Crazy(Liam): Goodnight Ray. Sweet dreams.

        With that I turned off the volume on my phone, plugged in my headphones and pulled the book from my nightstand. I fell asleep not 30 minutes later.





Ok so this is probably aweful but I had to kind of get things moving, introduce the boys into the story. But I hope you guys like it. Let me know what you think in the comments and also, what's you're favorite drink at Starbucks? Love you guys! :)
