Dylan's POV

The chirping of birds, the hustle and bustle of the busy cars, and the meows of the stray cats outside were the only thing keeping me from falling back asleep. It was early, 6:00 A.M. and I could barley keep my eyes open yet I was still awake. I reached my arms over to my nightstand and grabbed my phone making a face as I realized I left my  brightness all the way up.
6:05 A.M.
I sighed. Christina was still sleeping and she probably would be until 7-7:30 which was her normal time to wake up. I decided to grab my AirPods and play music to maybe fall back asleep until my lovely roommate  would come jumping on my bed to wake me up. I played my Billie Eilish playlist as sleep soon consumed me once again.

In what only felt like minutes I felt tapping on my shoulder. I fluttered my eyes open unsurprised to see Christina smiling her billion dollar smile, waiting for me to wake up. "Wake up chickee we have a big day today" she smiled at me and tried to literally pull me out of bed. I groaned but slowly got up out of my comfortable bed "Ya know if you wanted to wake me up you could of just taken one of my AirPods out" I laughed while putting my AirPods back in their case and leaving them on my nightstand to charge.
Christina playfully rolled her eyes and turned around to open my curtains. Light filled my eyes and I had to almost completely shut them to actually see. She liked the light and I mostly liked just a little bit of light in my room.
The streets of New York City were extra busy today. Shops were filled, sidewalks were crammed, and the streets were flooded with cars trying to get from one place to another.
"It's so busy today. Hopefully we can get to Lily's without dying in a stampede" Christina joked making me laugh.
"Speaking of Lily's when are we leaving?" My gaze left my window and turned to my phone, 7:45 was the time. I then looked at Christina hoping for an answer. "I was hoping to be out of the house and on our way there by 8:25 maybe" she shrugged and I nodded my head "Sounds good. You can go ahead and get ready and Ill be in here" I smiled and she skipped happily out of my room and down to hall to hers.
Since we were walking down the street from our apartment to Lily's Cafe and it was starting to get cold outside I decided to wear my gray hoodie, black leggings, and brushed my hair but left it fall down naturally.  I applied a little bit of makeup but went for a more natural look then left my room, making my way into the living room to wait for Christina.
After a few minutes Christina finally comes out wearing a regular white t-shirt and  leggings like mine but wore her white coat overtop and zipped it up to stay warm.
"Ready?" my roommate chirped and I simply nodded as we slipped on our matching black boots and walked out of the house, locking the door behind us. "Ok so you told me yesterday the only reason we were going out for breakfast today was because you needed to tell me something" I looked towards Christina and she looked back at me and paused. She took a deep breath and then started to talk "I wanted to take you to Lily's because I finally want you to meet my boyfriend" she quietly slurred our. I gasped "Oh my gosh! Is he here?" I started looking around frantically  but she only started laughing.
"Sadly no he's not. I wanted to give you his number and you could talk through text or whatever you prefer" She giggled and I smiled at the thought that I could finally meet him.

We finally made it to the cafe. We walked and as Christina took our order I went to our normal spot back in the corner of the shop.
Soon enough Christina came to meet me with my banana nut muffin and mocha iced coffee. "Alright Tina gimme this boy's number" I was trying to imitate someone with a southern accent but failed making us laugh.
She texted me the number and mouthed 'he knows your texting him soon'. I nodded and sent my message
