Coffee & Cigarettes

Your eyes cold like the winters sky

Harrys P.O.V
I lay awake in bed watching the snow flutter across my window; coating the streets. I wearily roll over to check the time on my phone beneath my pillow; it read 3:07am. I eternally groan, the joys of insomnia everybody. I do have to admit it looks very peaceful and calm outside, a very rare and wonderful sight in New York. I decide to pass yet another sleepless night reading my all time favorite book, The Perks of Being a Wallflower. The concept of the book is so captivating. Though I've read it multiple times, I never get sick of it. I now sit, reading my book in the winter's moonlight, occasionally looking out my frosted window, but in general just enjoying the silence. I slowly begin to get tired and eventually fall into a deep, peaceful sleep.

Louis' P.O.V
I find myself awake yet another night. I sit in my white bubble chair, taking frequent sips out of my mug while staring out my window; just watching the snow fall. I've come to the realization that I've actively taught myself to not trust people. You wanna know why? Because people always leave, they leave when it starts to get through or the relationship stops, being all about then. He left and now I have no one again; I'm in a city with 8 million people yet I've never felt more alone. I felt as if I was standing in the middle of Times Square screaming at the top of my lungs, and not a single person would turn around. Maybe there's someone else out there for me, they might even be staricng at the same moon.
-----------------------------------
I awake out of my chilled sleep, the entire city has a blanket of white flakes. Today is going to be amazing day to do absolutely nothing. I decide to change out of my pyjamas into my some old sweatpants and my The Fray t-shirt. I walk to my large kitchen and marvel at the marble counter tops, white wood cabinetry and stainless steel appliances 'such a large house for one person' I think to myself. I make a quick mental decision and walk over to the phones on the counter and dial Josie's number; which I had gotten after going back the cafe that very day just to talk. She really is so sweet, I sit and wait for her to pick up.

"Hello" She picks up the phone being her perky self.

"Hey Josie, do you have work today?" I ask while taking a sip of my coffee.

"Nope, shops closed today; there's no power." She say with a sigh.

"Well do you maybe wanna come over and I don't know watch some movies and hang out?" I asked her.

"Sure thing, what time?" she asked a sounding a little exited.

"You can come over now." I tell her.

"Okay, see you in 20 minutes" she says, while happily hanging up the phone.

While awaiting her arrival I make some popcorn and grab a box of cookies from the pantry and put them on a plate and put out a couple movies, then I vacuum. When I'm finished I quickly grab a beanie to cover my current hair 'situation', by the time im done, I hear three sets of identical knocks on the front door, I quickly run up to the door sliding on my socks to stop and open it.

"Hey Josie, come on it."

"Thanks, its absolutely freezing out there!" she said while stepping in, taking off her shoes and coat and embracing me in a warm hug.

"Would you like something to drink?" I ask as we walk to the kitchen .

"What do you have?" she asks, sitting down on one of the white island chairs; while spinning a little.

"Umm water, orange juice, tea, milk ,coffee and some other stuff but it's much too early to get drunk." I say with a slight giggle.

"What kinds of tea do you have?" she replies
"Well we have
Chilli chia
Chocolate Flake
Camomile
Earl Grey
Earl Grey Strong
Green Tea with mint
Jasmine pearl
