(It okay!)

"If you don't get up now, I'll shove you off of me," Jake threatened halfheartedly.

Brooke smiled, looking up at Jacob as she wrapped her arms around him. "Good luck."

He began to get up slowly, then removing her arms from him.

(Idk when my WiFi'll be shut off, so don't be surprised if I just disappear.
I'm working on a response rn, but I just wanted to say that.)

"Rude," Brooke joked, sticking her tongue out. She released her hold on Jake, saying, "I suppose I'll get up…"

(Okie dokie)

"You better." He snatched his car keys, then looked back to her. "Ready?"

Brooke stood, quickly said, "Just a sec," and ran to the bathroom. She got as ready as she could without her own things then walked back out. "Okay, yeah. Let's go."

(Ah, it was fine.
I had to go to bed, anyway. Lol.)

He opened the door and hurried over to his car. I'm going to make her late…

(Sorry, I had to leave for work!)

"Jake, slow down. It'll be fine, I'm not going to be late," Brooke assured him as she made her way over.

It's a good thing I work at a coffee shop, I didn't get to eat anything.

He frowned, clearly not thinking it okay. "I'm sorry you didn't eat. In my defense, you could have snatched an apple or something if you woke up earlier."

"No, really. In fact, I think we'll be early. Not that I'm usually late. Actually, I think we might even get there when I usually do," Brook babbled, her mind still in half-asleep mode.

"Alright, let's get going then." He started up the car.

Brooke buckled up before they started off. "You remember where it is, right?"

"I think so.. maybe… no." He let out a defeated sigh.

"That's okay. It's not like you've ever visited me or anything," Brooke laughed. "Turn left here."

He turned in said direction. "Got it… now..?"

"Go straight a few blocks, turn right at the gas station, and then straight for two more blocks. Then we'll be there!" Brooke directed.

Jacob did such, eventually parking in front of the coffee shop. "So… do I need to pick you up as well after your shift?"

Brooke shrugged. "If you want. Otherwise, I'll just take the bus or call Jessie or something," she replied as she moved to get out of the car.

"I will. Call me," he insisted. Boyfriends did stuff like this, right?

"All right, I will," Brooke promised, smiling at him. "You wanna come inside for coffee and a pastry or something? I've got a bit of time before I have to start, so I could eat with you."

"Wow," he said. "Did you just ask me on a date? I was planning to ask, Brooke. I can't believe you beat me to it…" Jake exaggerated his surprise.

Brooke laughed. "That's not what I was implying… You could still ask me, anyway," she suggested with a shrug.

He chuckled, "Not right now- you have your shift soon. All joking aside, I would like to have some food inside of me… I'm starving."

"Well, let's get out and go inside, then!" Brooke exclaimed. "I get a discount because I work there, so you can, too, since you're with me."

"Nice," he smiled, moving out of the car.

Brooke climbed out and walked over to Jake, smiling at him before they headed inside. One of the barista's waved as she shouted Brooke's name.

"Hey, Aubry! Where's Austin?" Brooke asked, waving back.

"Out of town with his new girlfriend," Aubry explained, shaking her head. "I swear, that boy gets a new girlfriend every time the season changes."

Brooke gave her a knowing look, nodding. "Yeah, no kidding. Oh! This is Jacob, by the way. We've been friends for as long as I can remember," she said, turning to smile at him.

Aubry stuck her hand over the counter and introduced herself, "Aubry Smith, barista-extraordinaire."

He shook her hand. "Pleasant to meet you, I'm Jacob" Jake politely greeted.
