3RD PERSON POV

Ocean woke up to the blaring sound of her alarm. She quickly turned it off and sat up. Her hair was messy and tangled, sticking up in certain places. She yawned before getting out of bed. Ocean went directly to the bathroom, she hoped Robert wouldn't see her in the current state she was in

Once in the bathroom, Ocean brushed her hair and her teeth. She did her normal morning routine, cleaning her face, and just general things that should clear skin. She also put on some light makeup, nothing special. After she was done, Ocean left the bathroom to pick an outfit for the day

The weather was bright and sunny, perfect to wear shorts or skirts. Looking through her closet, Ocean found a pair of light blue shorts, a pink button-up with roses on it, white crew socks, and a baby blue headband. She put them all on and left her room

Robert had just woken up and looked around. He remembered that he had crashed at Ocean's place the night before. He sat up and looked at the sweater he was wearing and smiled. His head turned slightly when he heard the sound of a door opening. There he saw Ocean, wearing her summery outfit. The two looked at each other without saying anything for a few seconds

The silence was broken when Ocean spoke up, "So. How did you sleep last night?" she fiddled with her fingers for a bit as she waited for his answer

"Pretty good," Robert stood up and walked towards her. The height differences were strongly apparent as he got closer. "Thanks for letting me sleep here last night. I'll return the favor one day I swear," He flashed a charming smiled that would make any girl swoon instantly

For some reason, Ocean didn't swoon, she just took it as a polite smile. "Oh, it was nothing. You don't have to repay me. Just tell me when you wanna leave, we can stop by the cafe downstairs for breakfast. Then we can leave. Sound good?" she asks

"Yup. And I'll pay for breakfast," Robert says. Without giving Ocean a chance to respond, he rushed into the bathroom with his clothes from yesterday. He didn't have a change of clothes he just decided to wear his clothes from yesterday again. Once alone, he looked into the mirror and smiled at himself. He didn't know how he should feel about Ocean. He didn't want to mistake kindness for feelings. But then again, he didn't know how he himself should feel about Ocean because Ocean had been nothing but kind to him and he loved kind people

"Hey, Robert. We're gonna take my Vespa if that's okay!" Ocean says through the door. Ocean thought about it for a while, what's better than having Robert hold onto her for dear life as he tries not to fall off a motorcycle? 

"Yeah, that's fine!" Robert says back. The thought of him wrapping his arms around Ocean made him blush but he shook it off. He changed back into his clothes from yesterday and before he left the bathroom he looked at his phone to see dozens of notifications about what he posted and posts he was tagged him that theorized who Ocean was to him. It made his face go bright red again but once again he shook it off. He then walked out of the bathroom, his phone in his back pocket and the clothes he borrowed in his hands

"Oh yeah, you can keep the clothes, I'll never wear them again probably. Unless you don't want them," Ocean says. She was fine with keeping them if he didn't want them. Who else would be able to say that Robert FUCKING Manion wore their clothes

"You keep them. Who knows when I'll be staying over again?" Robert says. He hands Ocean the shorts and sweater. "So, are we ready to leave?" He wondered if he would stay over again in the future. He wouldn't exactly go out of his way to but he wouldn't mind if he did

Ocean had already put them away when she got them back so when she went back over to Robert she said, "Yup, let's go," She grabbed her purse and stuffed her keys inside them. She walked towards her door and exited her apartment. Once she saw Robert out the door she locked it and both of them started to walk to the elevator

"So, did you hear about Starkid Homecoming? I'm gonna be in it!" Robert asks, trying to start up a friendly conversation so it wasn't complete silence

"Oh yeah, I heard about that. I'm gonna get a ticket to see it. And maybe even try and get a seat close to the front if I can. I'll be sure to cheer you on," Ocean says she smiled at Robert as they entered the elevator

Robert's heart skipped a beat when he saw her smile. "I'll be sure to look for you in the crowd," He says with a small wink. He saw the elevator door open. He stepped out of the elevator with Ocean and went directly to the cafe no too far from the elevator

Ocean walked up to the hostess and said, "Table for two please," She smiled at the hostess

The hostess got two menus and says, "Right this way miss," She leads Robert and Ocean to a table outside with two chairs. The hostess placed the two menus on the table and stepped aside to let Ocean and Robert sit down

Ocean and Robert sat down across from each other. "So, what did people say about the story you posted? Are people freaking out yet?" She snickered a bit. "I got so many followers because of it," 

Robert opened his phone and showed Ocean all of his Instagram DMs. "I got a lot of comments and even Twitter posts about it," He says. "Most of them ask if we're dating, a couple, a thing," 

Ocean went through the comments of the post and laughed. "God people really jump to conclusions," She gave Robert's phone back and started to look at the menu. "So what are you getting?" She flipped through the pages and saw some pictures before deciding what to get

Robert took his phone back and looked through the menu as well. "I think I might get the avocado toast or maybe an omelet," He says. He didn't expect to hear a disgusted sound from the girl sitting across from him

Ocean heard avocado and she immediately gagged. "I hate avocados. They just taste weird," She says. "I think I'm gonna get the strawberries and creme crepe and some coffee," She closed the menu and went to look at her phone. Even she had lots of notifications. She already had a good amount of followers from when she was in college. She got DMs asking if she already had a boyfriend even though she had just broken up with Ethan. She made sure to respond to them saying, "No"

"Yeah I'll get the omelet and some coffee," Robert says and closes his menu. His phone buzzed so he picked it up and looked at it. It was a message from Jon. "Jon messaged me. He's asking where I am," He replied, 'Sorry I got buzzed last night so I crashed at a friend's house'

Not even two seconds later, Jon replied with, 'Alright. Do your laundry when you get back'

After Jon texted, the server came up to them and took their order before leaving. Ocean and Robert had a small conversation while they waited for their food. It was a nice little conversation about their personal lives and jobs. They ended up splitting the bill and walking to Ocean's motorcycle scooter

Ocean opened up the seat and took out two helmets. She handed Robert a black helmet and she put on a light blue helmet. She started up the motorcycle and sat down. "Just sit behind me and hold on tight," She says. She placed both hands on the handles and kicked up the stand

Robert got on behind Ocean and wrapped his arms around Ocean's waist. His heart skipped a beat when he did this but again he shook it off. When he started to think about it, he shouldn't even remotely like Ocean. She was 5 years younger than him. So, in the end, he thought the age gap was a bit too big so he really shouldn't have any feeling towards Ocean. They are just friends

Once Ocean felt Robert's hands on her waist, she started to move the motorcycle

TIME SKIP

Robert and Ocean got off the motorcycle. Robert took off his helmet and handed it to Ocean. "Thanks for the ride," he says. "We should hang out more often," He smiled at her

"Yeah, we should, with Mariah too," Ocean says. She took Robert's helmet and puts it in the seat compartment. "Next time bring your own clothes if you're gonna crash at my place," She put her hands in her pockets and smiled

"I'll make sure of it," Robert says with a small laugh. "Oh let me introduce you to Jon, or more like, introduce him to you," He walked to the front door, Ocean behind him, and knocked on the front door

Jon opened up a few seconds later. "You're finally back!" He says. His eyes then go down to Ocean who is the only short person between the 3. "Hello, and you're name is. . ."

"This is Ocean. She's the friend that I was walking about in the texts," Robert says. He put his hands on Ocean's shoulders. "She also gave me a ride back home,"

Ocean held out her hand for him to shake. "Yeah Robert and I accidentally got a little tipsy last night. We didn't want to bother you, it was too late to get an Uber or Lyft, and we didn't want to drive so he slept over,"

Jon shook Ocean's hand. "Oh yeah, you're the girl people started freaking out about online because they think you're Robert's girlfriend," He laughed. "Nice to meet you,"

"Nice to meet you too," Ocean says. "And I'm not Robert's girlfriend. We literally just met a few days ago," She had an awkward and nervous smile. "I should get going," She looked at Robert. "Tell me when you wanna hang out again," She started walked away and waving. "Bye!"
