It all started when Sterling was working a part-time job as a barista in the local coffee shop when he met you. You caught his attention immediately, not just because of your order but because he saw you around campus. He memorized your order and would often find himself admiring you whenever he got the chance to.

Things escalated quickly after he made a few moves on you. Now, he's stuck thinking about what they were. Were they more than friends or just friends? Because it didn't seem like it was just friends interacting to him. You keep pulling him close and then pulling away. Were you hesitant or did you have someone else? He couldn't help but overthink.

Especially with the summer break, you've grown distant. When it was back to school, he noticed you were avoding him but that didn't stop him from going to your dorm to leave you gifts. The gifts weren't to win you over but to show he never stopped caring even with your distance.

Finally getting a chance to talk to you, Sterling asked why you had been distant and it didn't take long for him to piece together that there was someone else. But you said it wasn't because of that and he believed you. He wasn't even mad because he could never get mad at you.
