Request made by @Artifix

Alexander's POV

   I stepped into the busy coffee shop and sighed. It was loud, I didn't like loud. Not since the hurricane. I'm pretty sure the only reason I'm alive is because of the water nymph. She saved my life and in turn I give her shelter. She's given me powers, I can control water and heal myself with water. It's kind of hard to control sometimes. I accidentally blew up a bathroom because I got angry. Anyway I walked up to the counter and the barista smiled. Holy fuck he was hot as shit. His curly brown hair was tied back in a ponytail and big green eyes. The freckles splashing his tan skin and dazzling smile. I gulped and he smiled.
"Good morning! Welcome to the Schuyler Cafe! How can I help you?" He chirped.
"Can I get a venti coffee. Nothing in it."
"Wow, bold man." He chuckled, I smiled and laughed a little. "Sure thing. That all?" I nodded and paid. When my drink was called in ran up to the counter and picked it up. I frowned at the side of the cup and held it in the light, scribbled on the the side was a note.

(xxx) xxx-xxxx we should hang ;)

I blushed and glanced at the barista. He was biting his lip and looking at me hopefully. I pulled out my phone and typed in the number before winking and heading to work.

John's POV

"PEGGY, HE WINKED AT ME!" I grabbed my friend and she yelped.
   "Jesus, John! You're hands are hot!" I let go and chuckled.
   "Sorry. I'm just excited!" My phone buzzed and I froze.
   "I think you should answer that."

(xxx) xxx-xxxx
Txt me on ur break

   I squealed and made him a contact with the name Cutie<3. Peggy glared at me as she turned the A/C up and I smiled sheepishly. I'm bonded with a Phoenix so fire runs through my veins now. Whenever I'm excited the air around me gets hotter and when I'm mad things catch fire. Things like stoves and ovens. I can control fire and every month I die. Well...sort of. I'm reborn from my own ashes. The first time it happened I called Peggy and she didn't believe me. I was so shaken up I couldn't sleep. When it kept happening it became normal. It takes about a day to be reborn and it's the same day every month. I take the day of and I'm good as new by the next day. I went about my business working and couldn't get him off my mind. He was so good looking. When I got off I grabbed my phone and opened messages.

I thought for a moment and grinned. I grabbed my things and hurried to the subway. I caught a train and hurried to the New York Post. Yes...I am crazy. I pushed open the door and the receptionist smiled at me.
"Hi, I'm looking for a small man. He's got black hair, hazel eyes, and he looks tired."
"Does his smile look a little funny before his coffee?"
"Um...I think so. I think his smile is wonderful."
"Third floor, last door on the left."
"Thank you!" I hopped in the elevator and stopped on his floor. I followed the directions and stopped at his door. A sign read Alexander Hamilton and underneath that Lead Writer. I knocked on the door and waited for an answer but there was none. Against my better judgement, I pushed the door open and looked around. His office was a little dull with papers strewn everywhere and a single picture of a young family. I sat in his chair and twiddled my thumbs, staring at my lap.
"Holy shit." Someone breathed, I looked up to find Cutie and blushed.
"Hi." He stared at me for a moment and I stood up. "I-um...I didn't touch anything. I swear."
"I wasn't blowing you off, if that's what this is about." He rushed.
"Oh no! I know! I just thought I'd surprise you. I'm sorry if I'm intruding."
"No..." he moved to his chair and sat down. "It's cute." I blushed and he turned to his computer. "So I never caught your name."
"John Laurens."
"I'm sure you caught mine." He chuckled and nodded his head towards the door.
"Yeah, Alexander."
"My friends call me Alex." He hummed, I grinned and sat on the edge of his desk.
"If you want..." I walked my fingers up his sleeve and poked his shoulder. "I can take you to lunch." He blushed and grinned.
"I'd like that." He hummed.
"Good. Where do you wanna go?" He shrugged.
"Wherever you'd like."
"Nuh uh. I'm paying, you pick."
"Golden Corral." I laughed and he glared at me.
"Sounds good."
"I just want you to know I'm going to eat all of the ice cream."
"Not if I do it first."
"I'd love to argue more and win but I've got a meeting. You can play cool math or something. Or he you can be productive." He started laughing and shook his head. "Nah, I'm kidding."
"Hey, wait a minute. I love being productive. It makes time go faster." I grinned. "And it gets you out of here quicker." Alex blushed and sighed.
"I'm not making you do my work."
"Pwease?" I made puppy dog eyes and Alex bit his lip.
"Fine! Jesus!" He laughed and handed me a small stack of papers. "Those need to be shredded." I nodded and he walked me through using the shredded. "Thank you."
"No problem." I grinned and Alex left.
