Chapter 6

Michael's outfit above ^^ (ignore the man)

Theo's POV

I love Saturdays.

I can sleep in and sleep late in one day! Especially since I don't usually have any plans until I work at the Cafe at 2. 

Ethan wanted me to come with him on a morning run around 7 or 8 today. Haha. No.

He went with Liam apparently, so I have the dorm to myself for a bit. Brianna asked if Ethan, Liam and I wanted to meet up with her today, to which I agreed. We're planning to get dinner and loaf around at 6. Since I have to work at the bakery, I told them I'd be a bit late, to which Brianna insisted that it was fine, and they'd wait until I was ready to eat dinner.

I lay in bed, scrolling through Instagram and relaxing. My mind casually drifts over to Michael. I wonder what he's up to today. Is he studying? Probably. He said he was studying masters to become a doctor, so he'd probably be really busy. 

I reluctantly leave my warm bed covers to head to the kitchen to make some breakfast.

Opening the fridge, I grab some toast and jam and quickly shove it in my mouth before heading back to my room. 

Around 8:30, I hear the door open, meaning Ethan and Liam are back from their run. I yell out my greetings to them, but I don't move from my bed. They'll be all gross and sweaty anyway; I'll say hi properly after they've showered. 

"Hey Theo." Ethan greets as he enters my room, his hair a little damp from his quick shower.

"Hi E. How was your morning routine of hell?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. He lets out a laugh.

"It was good actually. I don't feel dead anymore." He smiles, "Where were we going to meet Brie tonight?"

"Uhh, some Japanese place near the university." I reply.

"Oh yeah, any updates on Mr. Hottie?" Ethan smirks at me. I blush furiously, averting my gaze.

"What? No, no. None at all, and his name is Michael." I mutter.

"Ohoho? So you're on a first name basis now? Nice dude." E wriggles his eyebrows at me.

"Shut up! Nothing's gonna happen. He's just a really attractive man who's completing his masters at the same university we're in, wants to become a doctor, and chats with me sometimes when his order is being made." I grumble, fiddling with the edge of the blanket.

"Ah, so you do know things about him. That's cute, you're in puppy love." Ethan laughs. I throw a pillow at him to shut him up, it doesn't work.

"Does he come by often?" Ethan asks curiously, hugging the pillow I threw at him to his chest.

"He comes by every day at 5." I respond.

"Ah, but does he come everyday? Or just the days you work there?" He raises his eyebrows, smirking at me.

"How should I know? And why would he come only on days I work? How would he even know when I work- oh, I told him my schedule..." I trail off, frowning in confusion.

"Wellllll, I go to your cafe sometimes around 5 between my classes, and I don't see a hottie there. It's all couples or business men running in and out." Ethan grins triumphantly at me, "He could be into you!"

"No way! He's probably straight, like majority of the population, and you don't even know what he looks like."

"Well, I'll stop by around 5 when you work and see him, then, won't I?"
