Her

Desi:

And just like that, half of his life story is out in the open. He explained that he's always wanted to write music or a whole musical, but none of his friends never really supported his career decision, except for his sister, Aspyn and his parents.

He also said how he's been trying to write for years now, but always fails. And by fails, I mean he does not get published. He's had to live at his sister's house for a year now, until he gets a stable job.

That's another thing, he hasn't been able to get hired anywhere. I mean, who could blame him? It's almost impossible to find a job in New York City. So basically, he has enough money to maintain himself alive everyday, but not enough to afford a place to live in.

His sister, however, is sorrounded by wealthiness. She is a well-known writer here and she makes money off of it.

To conclude, he didn't have the key to his sister's house, so he couldn't get in until she came. I offered him to stay at my place for the night, since it was late and he had nowhere to go. Besides, I liked having him around.

Lin:

To say it was love at first sight was an understatement. This woman, God. She was a literal angel. Not to mention her glorious wavy brown hair and stunning green eyes. Don't even get me started on her alluring smile. It could light up New York City after dark.

I am awoken from my own thoughts as I realize we made it to Desi's apartment. We walk inside and she gives me a quick tour before we went to sleep. She offered a bunch of times for me to sleep on the bed and she could sleep on the couch but I didn't want her to sleep uncomfortably at all.

"Des, just do me a favor and take the bed. I want you to sleep at ease," I chuckled, making her smile.

"Fine," She extended the 'i' and rolled her eyes in a jokingly manner.

I grabbed my stuff to make my way into the living room and out of her room. Before I could go, I stopped at her door and put one hand on her door frame.

"And Des?" I called out softly.

"Mhm," She responded, almost half asleep.

"Thank you. For everything. Good night," I say.

"You're welcome, good night." She says and I give her a small smile before exiting her bedroom.

The next morning, I woke up before Des so I decided to make breakfast. I wanted to make up for yesterday. It took me a while to figure out where each utensil or ingredient was but when I did, it went pretty smooth from there.

I decided on making eggs, bacon and some toast on the side. To top it all off,
two coffees for both of us. I heard some feet walk against the concrete floor and I immediately knew she was awake, so I just waited until she made her way into the kitchen, where I was.

"You made breakfast!" She exclaimed as she walked over to me.

"Of course. It's the least I could do," I say, earning a smile from her.

"Oh c'mon, Lin. It was nothing compared to this!" She says, making my heart feel some weird lovey shit. Her thoughtfulness was amazing to me.

"Well," I begin as we both take a seat on the kitchen stools and start eating our food.

"Since I want to make it up to you, how about we start again?" I suggest and she struggles to smile as she has a piece of toast in her mouth and I laugh with her.

"I think that could be arranged." She jokes.

"Really? And so, would you mind if I asked you out on a real date?" I swallow all my nervousness down, trying to gain some confidence. Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes.

"I would love that idea!" She agrees,

FUCK YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

"Thank God you said yes cause I already had everything planned and I wasn't going to cancel shit!" I joke and she punches my arm softly while we were both laughing.

"Well, I have to go. I have a meeting with a publisher today," I say as I finish up my food and stand up to put the plate in the sink. I really didn't want to leave but this meeting was important and I knew Des had to work this morning at the bookstore since she told me last night.

"I'll pick you up at seven then?" I question her.

"Yes," She nods along with a smile.

"Alright, I'll see you later." I say and kiss her cheek and let my lips linger for a moment before leaving her apartment and making my way home.
