" do you regret the kiss? " shawn asks suddenly as i ready my cup of tea
and i turn to him, with my eyebrow raised
" i don't. do you? " i ask
" fuck. of course not " he tells me
" so then why'd you ask? " i ask him and he shrugs
" i don't know, it was sudden and in the moment and i was planning on apologizing for it " he tells me and i laugh
" you don't have to worry, shawn, really " i smile
" think about it; you said something that made me have a loss of words, and when i didn't respond you kissed me. a perfect cliche. it was in the heat of the moment, shit i would've kissed you myself but you beat me to it " i continue, chuckling
" but for now i say we stay away from kissing, and get to know each other better. i know you already know a shit ton about me but all i know is that your name is shawn, you go to brooklyn college and are majoring in business " i tell him and he nods
" i understand one hundred percent " he tells me nodding
" good " i smile, and i yawn as i take a sip of my tea
" would you like to sleep in my bed? " i ask and his eyes widen
" don't worry, wherever you sleep i won't " i tell him and he relaxes, then his face scrunches up
" i cant just steal your bed, evangeline " he tells me
" please, you can. i prefer sleeping on the couch anyway, i can see through my window from it late at night and the city looks gorgeous " i tell him and he smiles
" if you insist, evangeline " he tells me
" i do, now my room is the first on my left, feel free to look through my dresser for clothes. i probably have some of ethan's i never returned and august has probably left some here " i tell him and he nods
" goodnight, evangeline " he says, walking towards my room
" goodnight, shawn "

i wake up early the next morning, around five actually
so i get dressed and go on a run, get a coffee on the way home, then i shower and here i am now, making breakfast at seven-thirty
i look up from the eggs i'm making as i hear someone stumbling down the hall
" morning sunshine " i smile, greeting arabella
" i've got a headache " she tells me
this usually happens to arabella
she'll drink, sober up as the night goes on but will still wake up with a terrible head ache
" i figured " i point to a glass of water and two ibuprofen pills
" evangeline rose what would i do without you " arabella sighs, taking the pills and chasing it down with water
" i have no clue, but i made your usual " i tell her, handing her the plate of avocado toast, and placing a kiss on her cheek
" you're a much better boyfriend then august " she tells me, and i place my hand over my heart
" that's the best complement i've ever
received " i smile and she laughs
i turn the stove off as i finish the eggs, and scrape them onto another plate, and place them next to the pancakes i made
" i smell food " we hear august say as he walks towards the kitchen
" i made pancakes, just because i know you love them so much " i say, handing him a plate as he begins to help himself, then sitting down and placing a kiss on arabella's cheek
" you're the best boyfriend i could ever ask for, eva " august tells me and i laugh
" i know, august " i reply
i begin to eat my own breakfast which was eggs and avocado toast when my bedroom door opens
" hey cutie " august tells shawn as he rubs his eyes, shawn wasting no time in flipping him off
" i made breakfast, but i don't really know what you like so you can eat whatever you want " i tell him
" i see pancakes " he says in a raspy morning voice, completely ignoring me
i laugh, handing him a plate and fork
" here, princess " i tell him
" shawn, you're a terrible boyfriend " august randomly blurts as we eat our breakfast
" how so, my love? " shawn asks while arabella and i exchange confused looks
" because, you don't even put effort into our relationship, while evangeline is here making me breakfast, no matter how tired she is she always makes pancakes because she knows i love them so much, she keeps my girlfriend safe and takes care of her as well, and takes care of me in my own drunken state. get a grip, shawn " august says sassily as arabella and i stifle laughs
" i'm sorry, baby. ill treat you like the princess you are " shawn tells august, who rolls his eyes
" if you really cared about me, you'd treat me like a queen. we're over, shawn " august tells shawn, as he gets up and walks away
arabella and i burst into laughter the second he walks out
" what the fuck was that? " arabella asks as we calm down
" when you're a part of a frat, you're immediately in a relationship with everyone in that frat. you cook for them, care from them, all that shit. i've been august's boyfriend since freshman year. i cant believe he actually broke up with me " shawn says in disbelief
" it's okay, i'll take good care of him for you " arabella laughs, patting shawn's shoulder
" please do, he means everything to me " shawn says, before august comes back and we all laugh loudly, eating our breakfast
