"Hey!" Ryan says wrapping his arms around me.
"Hey..." I smile at him.
"So, what have you been up to?""Nothing huge... Sam and I are living together in a uni flat..." he says awkwardly. He pulls his dark hair out of his face.
"Yeah, Sam's a guidance counciller. He's doing really well.."
"Counciller in a college at twenty-seven? Well done him." I giggle.
We stand awkwardly until Ryan breaks the silence.
"What are you up to nowadays?" He says slowly walking in the general direction outside of Victoria Station.
"Eh," I hesitate. Does he know about youtube? "Film making..." I say.
"Oh yeah. You have that whole YouTube thing. Well done by the way. Uh, sorry for asking this but how's Y/N?" I look at him annoyed.
We broke up because he said that Y/N was cute. He acted on that and I called him out on it...
She acted politely on the topic of him. But it took me till grad year to forgive him..."Uh, she has a boyfriend. Is also living successfully and lives with me and her boyfriend right now." I say telling as little as possible but for him to not ask anything.
"How's sam?" I smirk. When I dated Ryan I told him I had liked Sam and he was chill. I'm sure Soairse would have told Sam anyway.
"I told you already. Uh, how's... youtube." He says awkwardly, as though youtube is a weird topic.
I guess it can be. Having your ex call a mildly famous YouTuber can be odd... and having her reference you a lot without concent is also disturbing...
"Good yeah.. I got 4 million subscribers... which is a mild milestone for me." Ryan looks at me aghast.
"That's amazing. How are you so calm with this! You have over three million people listening to you. I can barely keep a conversation going!" He says. I smirk and Shrug it off.
"I don't know really. I know people who subscribe are there to enjoy my content. Meaning that when I post and i gain a subscriber I have some boy who enjoys....me..."
Ryan nods and keeps walking.
"So.. anybody in your recent life," my Ryan asks out of the blue. Just choke on my air.
"Uh. Not really... I did break off a relationship recently but nothing worth talking about... I haven't posted much either so my "fanbase" think I'm going on a Hiatus. They have since found that theory false becuase I did post a thing on twitter..."
We stop at a Starbucks. I see Daisy look at me through the the window.
I walk in and have an Irish girl come and take my order."Hey Sally, what do you want today?" She says. I smile and perk my eyebrows in Ryan's general direction. I swear she did a double take.
"Oh hey, what do you guys want."
"Uh. A custom." I smirk. Daisy nods and looks at Ryan who is standing aimlessly behind me.
"Oh. A ginger coffee." She says.
Daisy nods and start creating my concoction.
I find a seat in the back of the shop and fall onto it. Ryan falls down beside me.
"So this is the place you mentioned. A Starbucks..." he smirked.
"Not any Starbucks. A Starbucks that has only three batistas. It will give you coupons for saying certain things and most importantly- there are secrets." Ryan laughs and shakes his head.
