january 29 , 2021.

it was 9. i was waiting on my call from alex. nothing yet. he texted me earlier saying he was going to be a bit busy tonight but he was going to text me if he wasn't going to call me on time. i shouldn't be this worried, yet i am.

ring! incoming facetime call from alex:))

i sighed and picked up the phone.

"aloe vera." he said while moving his hair out of his face.

"quackity." i said back.

"you're so beautiful." he said. i smiled. "god your smile is perfect.".

"fuck off." i said while hiding my face.

"nooo put your pretty face back on the camera." he said while fake pouting.

we continued talking, he sobered up a bit.

"vera can i tell you something?" he asked me.

i'm scared where is this is going.

"can it wait until you're fully sober?"

"i won't have the confidence to say it when i'm sober."

i think i know where this is going. the butterflies in my stomach were going crazy.

"go ahead." i said hesitantly.

"i really like you vera. i've never met someone i'm so comfortable with."

"i like you too. a lot. but can we continue this conversation when you're not drunk?" i laughed awkwardly.

"yes of course. i just wanted to tell you."

we both smiled.

he yawned. "i'm going to go to sleep. goodnight mi amor."

i wasn't good with spanish. but i know what "mi amor" meant. i was swarmed with butterflies.

"goodnight alex. call me if you need to."

he smiled and hung up the phone.

january 30, 2021.

i woke up to a text from alex, i'm assuming he's extremely hungover and didn't get much sleep.

alex<3
good morning

vera<3
good morning
how are you feeling?

alex<3
terrible
can we continue our talk from last night

vera<3
call me once you feel better

alex<3
okay i will
you weren't lying to me right? like just because i was drunk?

vera<3
no
i wasn't
i meant every word i said, i just didn't want to have that conversation while you weren't sober

alex<3
okay thank god

vera<3
you scared me last night when you didn't call me

alex<3
i'm sorry :(

vera<3
did you have fun though

alex<3
yeah i guess, until my cousins left and it got sad and boring

vera<3
very nice
okay i'm gonna go get something to eat, probably pick up coffee
try to get some more sleep<3

alex<3
i'll try<3

i put food in my dogs bowl and threw on a sweatshirt with my pijama pants. i got in my car and drove to the nearest starbucks. i ordered my usual.

ring! mother honking karl😁💛 is calling....

i drove out of the starbucks drive through and pressed "answer" on my car.

"good morning karl jacobs." i said sweetly.

"good morning lavera smith." he responded.

"we both have some white-ass names huh?"

we both laughed.

"what's up? why are you calling me at 8:30 am?" i questioned him.

"well i uh, just got off the phone with alex. he's extremely hungover. he also told me about what you guys talked about last night."

the red ran straight to my face.

"he did?" i asked hesitantly.

"yes! i'm so happy for you two!" he said excitedly.

i don't know why i was nervous, obviously karl would be excited for us.

"i don't even know when we would be able to see each other." i responded sighing.

"i wanna see both of you. we should all meet up eventually." he laughed, the way he said it came off in a joking matter.

"i haven't seen you in forever, when was the last time? march 2020? almost a whole year." i said while sighing. karl really was my best friend.

"crazy." he said also sighing.

i felt a wave of sadness, i just wanted to see karl, but i hate travelling by myself. i would make the risk for him though, and alex.

"well i gotta go, i'm driving right now. bye karl!"

"bye vera!"

the call ended. i continued listening to music and driving home.

as soon as i got in the house my phone started ringing.

"fucking hell." i said while grabbing my phone, trying not to spill my coffee.

ring! incoming facetime from alex<3

"hola preciosa." we smiled at the phone.

"hey. how you feeling?" i asked, genuinely concerned.

"better. i got some food in my stomach." he said.

"that's good, i'm glad!" i said excitedly.

"so.." he started.

"so.." i copied his words.

"wanna continue our talk from last night?" he asked.

i was hesitant. i normally don't do well in relationships. i've flirted with people but i've always been too awkward to actually talk to someone romantically. but he made it so easy, effortless. i think our levels of awkwardness by ourselves made it easier for us to bond.

"yes." i felt my heart skip a beat.

"so you like me? and i like you?" he asked.

we both smiled and blushed.

"yeah i guess." i said which a big smile. i couldn't hide it. he made me so happy.

"okay. good to know."

we kept talking until he fell asleep because he was still not feeling the best from last night.

i went on instagram and i saw a picture that i thought would get some attention. maybe alex would get the message too.
