After he gets done with his task, Karl walks back over to Niki, apologizing to her. But he gets stopped with her handing him a wrinkled receipt.
                          
"What's this?"
                          
"Just read it."
                          
She smiles and winks at him as he then walks away into the back rooms. He looks at the wrinkled paper curiously.
                          
He then smooths it out, looking at what it's says.

***-****-****
                          
Karl's face heats up as he looks down at the note, realizing someone gave him his number!
                          
He places a hand onto his face as he tries calm himself down, but it fails as he thinking about it more. 
                          
A guy wants to talk to him? Was it one of the guys from his dreams? Nono it couldn't be... could it?
                          
He shook his head as he stuffed the piece of paper into his pocket, realizing that there was a costumer that had been waiting.

Once he was home and safe she quickly took off his shoes and bolted up the stairs, hoping he didn't keep the guy waiting too long.
                          
He dived into his bed and cuddled up into the blankets, taking his phone and the piece of paper out. He then opens his messaging app.
                          
But then he stops as he hits the number in, instantly becoming nervous. What if this wasn't meant for him? What if he was meant to pass it along? 
                          
He types out a small text, 'hello?', as he doesn't want to assume this is the right number. He has gotten numbers mixed up before.
                          
Then he gets a response. His heart begins to beat hard against his chest.

Karl blushes and smiles as they chat away. Them getting to know each other, the basics for now. 
                          
Soon enough Karl realizes it's getting pretty late and he still has stuff to do, so he texts Alex a quick goodbye before sighing softly and getting out of bed.
