Courtney's POV
The droning of my alarm echoed through the apartment. "Ugh" I sat up rubbing my eyes and grasping my phone "stopp" I moaned stopping the alarm and placing my phone back on the side table. I clambered to my feet scratching my head and yawning. "Time for some breakfast" I sighed.
Shayne's POV
My alarm rang forcing me to wake up, swiftly silencing the phone I stood stretching my arms and putting on a red shirt I had left on my dresser. Jogging down the stairs I opened the cupboard taking a bowl and spoon next placing them on the side before pouring a large amount of granola followed by a swig of milk in the bowl finally sitting at the table. 'I need to get ready' I though 'I'll do a shorter work out today so I can get ready for that interview'
Courtney's POV
The apartment was a mess covered by a blanket of dirty dishes and trash the kitchen was dimly lit, as I turned the light on a burst of light hit me waking me up slightly more. "Let's see what's in the fridge" I yawned. Soon opening the fridge door noticed an old pot of takeaway half a carton of milk and a bag of tomatoes. "I'll have cereal"  I hopped to the cupboard then realising there was none. "Damnit" I exclaimed slamming the milk back down on the side. Other than a stale peice of bread a few tomatoes and that old take away there was no food 'this is great' I rolled my eyes 'damnit Courtney you didn't buy groceries' I though to myself. I snatched my car keys and purse before heading out to my car in my pajamas. I'd planned on taking a quick drive to Starbucks to grab breakfast. I passed the gym.
Shayne's POV
I reached the gym "hey Shayne" Kevin called from behind his desk waving with a grin spread across his face "Hey Kev" I yelled back before takin. A towel and putting my earbuds in.
Courtney's POV
"Hey can I get a grande americano? Lots of cream lots of sugar" I smiled
"Of course can I get a name?" An overly chirpy teenager replied. "Sure Courtney" I said before sitting down.
Shayne's POV
I had just finished my work out and was leaving "hey Kev" I said placing my towel on the desk "hi Shayne, good work out?" He asked taking the towel and placing it in a basket behind the desk. "Yeah I'm just gonna head out to get a coffee"
"Okay see you tomorrow" Kevin smiled
"Bye" I yelled back turning out the door.
I reached Starbucks.
"Hi there can I get a grande wheat grass smoothie?"
"Of course name?"
"Shayne"
"Thank you I'll get that for you" she said before I sat down.
Courtney's POV
"Courtney?" An employee called " yes here" I said walking to the desk
"That'll be five dollars" the teen smiled
"oh damn I left my purse in my car can I just go grab it?" I laughed
"Sure" the teen smile before placing my cup behind the desk and walking toward the other orders. "Shayne?" She shouted as I quickly ran out to my car.
Shayne's POV
The employee called my name and I walked up to her taking the drink and sitting back down
Courtney's POV
I returned with my purse handing her the money and picking up the drink. I turned the drink noticing it had the name 'Shayne' written on it.
3rd person POV
"Excuse me" Shayne and Courtney both said simultaneously they both began to laugh " you first" Shayne chuckled stepping back.
