Hannah's Point of View

"No, don't leave me, I want to cuddle." Al complains, holding my waist so I wouldn't go. A couple of days ago, after my little spaz, he asked me to stay the night. But like every time I'm with him, I lost track of time or more like days. I hadn't realized I've been coming here for two whole weeks. It had only felt like a couple of days. Since I was his assistant, we carpooled together. I never drive and wasn't going to. Then once work was over we would sometimes get take out, or I would cook something. Al tried to make another go with cooking, and that night ended with the fire department coming and me having to stand in the lobby the whole time. So I didn't let him cook again. One day we had a couple's day. believe it or not, it was his idea. He canceled all his meetings, and we spent the whole day together. Shopping, dancing, singing, eating, playing, and sleeping.

"Aw baby, you know how much I want to stay and cuddle with you, but I want to go home now, and Jules misses me. "

"No, blondy can find someone else."

"No brick, I have to go she needs me. I swear I'll come right back okay?"

" I don't want you to go though."

"Isn't David coming, anyway? You need to spend time with your bro.″

"Fuck David, I want you to stay, not him. And don't say, bro."

"Bro, Bro, Bro." When he is about to reply, the door unlocks David walks in.

"Hello, hello, the king has arrived. " He said, walking over and hugging me. Luckily Al had let me go, so I was sitting up on the couch when he did so.

"David, how did you get in here?" Al asks.

"You gave me a key asshole."

"No, the hell I didn't."

"Wow, I'm hurt that you don't remember."

"Aww, that's cute you gave him a key." I say.

"No, I didn't. "

"Yeah, you did. I remember that day. You were hooking up with that girl from the meeting and you wanted her to leave so you-"

"Shut up, David." Al says, cutting him off

"That's what you get for acting like you didn't remember asshole."

"Alright, you boys have fun now." I replied, laughing at their arguing. I grabbed my purse and began walking to the door.

"Woah, Woah, Woah. Who do you think you are?" Al asks as I am about to walk out.

"Calm down guys, it's not that serious. I don't want anyone dead when I return." I reply, thinking they were still arguing.

"I'm talking to you woman." Says Al

"What did I do?"

"You can't just walk out of here, leave me with him and not even give me a goodbye kiss. How dare you?"

"I'm right here, you know."

" Oh, sorry." I walk back over to brick.

I lean over to give him a peck on his cheek, but he grabs my waist.

"AH CHOooo.″ David fake sneezes and throws a water bottle at Al. He stopped kissing me and let go of my waist.

"Do you want to die right now? Because you are testing my fucking limits man."

"Shiver me timbers, I'm so scared. What are you gonna do? Fire me?′

"That would be after I chop off your arm. "

"Okay, okay. Maybe you should stop molesting her mouth while I'm right here. Or at least bring in a stripper."

This time I threw the water bottle at David

"Hey, there will be no strippers, you're with my best friend, asshole. Now I have to go, so I can tell her what you said." I said, running out the door.

Al's Point of View

"You fucking wimp. She got you whipped like whipped cream, boy." David says, laughing as he walks to the fridge.

"Yeah whatever, you keep trying me and you are going to have a rude awakening."

"Do you think she's going to tell Jules what I said?"

"About what?"

"The stripper thing."

"Oh. Yeah, she's definitely telling her."

"How the hell do you know?"

"She tells her everything man."

"How if she hasn't seen her in like two weeks?"

"Distance doesn't stop them. They talk on the phone about literally everything all night. Believe I had to cuddle by myself one night because she was talking to her all fucking night."

"Shit. Wait, did you just say cuddle? Since when did Al Capone cuddle? Hell, since when did Al Capone actually start caring about someone besides himself?"

"I know, man, but she's different. I can feel it. When I'm with her, I feel happy. Like genuinely happy. "

When I turned around to face him, he was making a barfing noise and acting like he was vomiting.

"Whatever."

"My bad man. You gotta give me time to adjust. But I was right, though. I told you I was going to witness a love story. "

"Let's get started." I reply, ignoring his comment."We have to meet with Selena and I don't need to be distracted with your bullshit."

"Okay, okay, but I have a question first."

"What?"

"Well, it's not a question. But, shouldn't you just ask her to move in with you?"

"What are you talking about?"

"She already basically lives here after just two weeks. "

"No she doesn't."

"Exhibit A. Red hair tie." He picks up a red hair tie from the ground.

"That could have easily fallen."

"Exhibit B. Makeup brush on the counter,"

"Probably an accident. Try again."

"Exhibit C and all the rest of them. Diet cokes in the fridge and you hate diet coke. Women's shoes in the closet, lipstick on the couch, one of the pillows in your room are pink, and the bathroom curtains are red, and there is a bra in this kitchen sink right now." He explains, lifting one of Hannah's bra from out of the sink. I don't quite remember how that got there.

I pick up a knife that was on the living room table and aimed to throw it at him.

"Put it down. I am the only man allowed to touch that. "

"Okay, jeez, you don't have to kill me. But anyway, I'm right, you should just ask her to live with you."

"Dude, aren't you supposed to move in with each other after month? Me and Hannah have only been together for like a month and a couple of weeks."

"And how long have you known her?"

"Five to six months. Why?"

"It took y'all that long? Anyway, it doesn't matter. Have y'all already had your first fight?"

"Yes."

"Then y'all have already passed that stage. You are good to go. You need to take the next step in your relationship before it's too late, and she thinks you're not serious."

"And how the hell do you know all this?"

"I reads brother, I reads. "

"If it'll get you to concentrate, then yes, I will talk to her about it. "

"Good."

"So can we get to work?"

"I was waiting for you. "

Hannah's Point of View

" I missed you so much, Hannah, you don't even know. "

"Me too. It's almost like we didn't talk on the phone all night, every single day." I reply sarcastically and she rolls her eyes.

"I'll make us some tea, and then we can spill the tea."

I sit down on the couch while Jules makes the tea. Once she returns, she jumps straight to it.

"Alright, spill it. "

"Not much that I didn't already tell you over the phone. "

"Okay, do you think something might happen? Or do you want something to happen to you guys? "

"I don't know."

"Well, I think you should move in. I mean, you've already gone through your first fight and you're always there."

"But what about you? Aren't you going to be alone?"

She looks away and blushes, looking flustered. I instantly get excited, like a teenage girl wanting to know all the gossip. "Tell me, what's with you and David? He's always telling me not to tell on him to you. "

"You know how we were just hooking up?"

"Yes."

"Well now, I kind of like him. Well, not kind of. I do like him. Like a lot."

"You guys are dating, aren't you? "

"No, no, we're not dating."

"Why not? He likes you, you like him. Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich. What's the problem?"

"I haven't told him I like him yet, Hannah."

'Why?"

"Because I don't know if he likes me back."

"We're not teenagers afraid to approach to our crushes anymore Jules, just talk to him."

"Could you ask him for me, please?" She begs, completely ignoring my suggestion."But don't make it obvious, like don't make it seem like I am asking. "

"What makes you think I can do it, I don't talk to people outside of you and Al. Sometimes David."

"Please, Hannah, please. "

I groan frustratingly before responding, " Fine, I'll do it. Only because I love you.″

"Thank you so much. I honestly don't know what I would do without you, Hannah!" she says, hugging me tightly and squealing.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. But I have to get out of here before Al throws a fit."

" Okay, bye, Han. Remember what I said."

" I will. Love you, bye."

After I left, I called Al

"Hello?" He answers.

"Hey, I'm on my way back to-"

"Hey Sweetheart. Me and David are just finishing a few details. I will send my driver.″

"I can walk, it's not even that far. I will be fine. "

"I'm sending one."

"No Al."

"I got it. I'm leaving anyway, so I'll walk her here," David said into the phone.

"No, I want to do it. She's my woman after all."

"Why do you have to be so stubborn? You don't want her not to walk alone. And you wanted me to leave, so let me leave, toothpick." Then the line hung up.

When I was about to turn into the parkway of his house, I saw a figure walking toward me. I had experienced this many times and knew how this was going to play out. Throughout high school and even sometimes in college, I would get robbed and bullied on my way home.

When the figure started coming closer, I dropped my bag on the ground and ran so it wouldn't be any trouble. I took off in the opposite direction of the person and kept running until I had to stop and catch my breath. I had run further than expected, but they were still following me. Once I caught my breath, I was about to run again when they said, "Hannah, you dropped your bag. And why the hell are you running? I am not fit for playing chase right now."

"David?"

"What is this, Guess Who? Come on, weirdo, so I can walk you home. "

"Oh thank god its only you. I thought you were a robber."

"Just come on. And I'm telling your boyfriend that someone has robbed you before."

"How do you know?"

"I reads woman. I reads."

"Give me back my purse. " I said, snatching my purse as we began walking back."I need to ask you some questions regarding you and Jules."

"Fine, I stole the last piece of the chocolate cake. But come on, who wouldn't? I-"

"No. I'm not talking about a fucking cake. I mean, what's going on with you guys? Are you serious about her? "

"Don't tell her I said this, but I really like her. But I don't know how she feels. I used to just want to fuck her because she had an amazing body. Big a-"

"Ew, I don't want to know all the details. I already know how you feel now, no need to get into description."

"Whatever, were here. My job is done."

"Thank you for walking me."

"Alright Short Dog, catch ya later." He said, walking off and getting in a car.

I went up the elevator and into Al's house. "Baby, I'm here. Where are you?"

"In the kitchen sweetheart." When I walk into the kitchen, I see a freshly cooked meal on the table and get surprised.

"You made all this?"

"Yes."

I gave him a skeptical look, knowing fully well he did not cook. "Okay fine. I ordered take out, but it still counts."

"I knew it, liar."

"Sit down," He said, taking my purse to his room and pushing the chair out for me to sit.

"What's this for?"

"Can't I just treat my girl right?"

I looked at him and laughed while looking at him skeptically again.

"Alright, I have something I want to ask you. But I completely understand if you 're not up for it."

"Now I'm curious, spill it,"

He grabbed both of my hands, kissed them, and held them.

"Tell me, babe"

"Will you move in with me?′
