*Sunday* 
                          
Anthony's POV 
I knew Amy was working this morning until 1pm, so I thought I would come in and annoy her in her last hour of working. We're also seeing The Colour Purple on Broadway with Phillipa and Steven, it's going to be good to finally meet the guy. Amy recently found out that due to location of the cafe, a bunch of Hamilton fans and people waiting to see the show come in often to buy coffees before going to see the show. Due to the increase of sales, they're brought a juice machine. 
"Can I get a make your own juice and a apple crumble tart?"
"Seriously freckles. What are you doing here?" Amy playfully rolled her eyes. 
"I was bored, so I came to visit you. Is that a problem?" I flirted across the counter. 
"It's not." She smiled and blushed. Benny walked over. 
"Benny!" I cheered and hi fived him. "Since when did you start working here?" I asked him and he shrugged. 
"Two weeks ago." He said and grabbed some tongs and pulled out some pastries and my apple crumble tart from the glass counter top. "We're on good terms right?" I asked and he nodded and placed my tart on a plate. Amy turned back to me. "What juice do you want me to make you?" She asked and I looked at the menu.
"Carrot. Orange. Mango. Ginger. Coconut Water." 
I watched as Amy wrote down all the ingredients in her neat handwriting. 
"That'll be $8.79." She said and I handed over a $10 note. "Keep the change." 
"Wow. A dollar eleven tip. That's generous." She smirked.
"Hey. I wasn't going to give you one, but because you're my girlfriend-" 
"I always give you good service-" 
"In bed you do." I snapped back and heard Benny behind Amy go "Ooohhhh. Burn." Amy rolled her eyes and glared at Benny. 
"I'll bring your drink to your table. I hope you don't mind waiting." She said and ripped off a sheet of paper with the juice ingredients on it, off the pad, and moved to the other end of the bench. 
"Why? You're not busy." 
"Because you're annoying me." She giggled and I sat down near the corner of the store and sat and read off my phone. I was flicking through twitter notifications, reading Lin's romantic tweets which would get any girl to fall in love with him, reading messages from the cast, and replying to an email from my agent. 
"Alright. My shift is over." Amy said and sat cross from me. She crossed her legs. 
"But I like it here. I get you see your beautiful-" 
"Nope. Stop with the cheesy pick up lines." Amy giggled and got up and swung her handbag over her shoulder and put her hand out of me to take. "Let's go." She smiled and I took her hand as we walked out of the cafe.

"Can I use your shower?" Amy asked me as she took out a dress from her bag she had left at mine and some heels. 
"Sure. Of course. You don't need to ask." I said and walked into my room to get changed. Amy was listening to some music whilst having her shower. I got changed into a suit. We were going to meet Phillipa and Steven at a fancy restaurant. I put some gel in my hair and I was pretty much ready. I sat back down on my couch and watched the baseball. 
"Just hit it! You've missed every time. You suck!" I shouted at the screen. 
"You're so loud Anthony. I can here you from in here." Amy said from the bathroom. 
"Are you almost ready? We've got to be at the restaurant at 5:30pm. And it's 5:07pm." 
"Calm down." Amy giggled and walked out. "I'm ready." 
"You look, wow, you look stunning." I gulped. She looked amazing. Her make up was minimal but it made her eyes pop. Her lip gloss was shinny and she had her hair left in its natural wave. She was wearing a red cocktail dress. Jasmine always looks amazing in her Maria dress, but imagine that, but 10 x hotter. 
"Take a photo. It'll last longer." She giggled and played with the bracelet on her hand. 
"Shall we go?" I asked and took her hand. 
"Please. I'm starving. I hope they have burgers." Amy giggled. 
"You know it's a fancy restaurant. Steven picked it." I told her locking the door to my apartment. We eventually made our way to the restaurant. 
"Hi. How can I help you?" A waitress asked. 
"Oh. We have a table under Steven and Phillipa." I said and she lead us to the table. 
"Hey Amy!" Phillipa said as she greeted us and hugged Amy. "You two are just too cute together." Phillipa said and hugged me as well. 
"Oh guys, this is Steven." Phillipa said and Steven got up and shook my hand and kissed Amy's cheek. 
"Oh I'm Amy." Amy smiled. 
"Anthony." I said and we sat down. 
"Hey Pip. Do you want something to drink?" Steven said to his girlfriend. 
"Yeah. I'll just get a red wine." She said and I turned to Amy. 
"Do you want anything?" I asked her. 
"Uhm, I'll just get a lemonade." She smiled. 
"No worries." I said and got up and walked to the bar with Steven. 
"So, what do you do?" Steven asked me as he ordered his drinks. 
"Oh, I work with Phillipa. I play her son in Hamilton. That's where I met Amy." I smiled and ordered my drinks. "Can I just get a lemonade, a beer and two vodka shots." Steven looked at me strange. I took our drinks back to the table and sat down. 
"Amy and I were just discussing Lin's announcement about moving to the Richard Rodgers." 
"Oh cool." Steven said a little un-interested. I pulled out my phone and went to check the baseball scores. 
"Anthony. Put your phone away. It's rude." Amy said and placed her hand on my thigh. 
"I'm only checking the baseball scores." I whined and I saw Stevens face lit up. 
"What's the score?" He asked me. 
"Yankees up by two. They're playing the Dodgers." I said and put my phone away. 
"Oh man. I haven't been to a baseball game in years. I've been so busy with work all the time, I never get a day off. I had to make an excuse to leave early today." He groaned. He was finally loosened up. I placed my arm over Amy's shoulder and kept talking to Steven. 
"What can I get you guys?" The waitress said walking back over. 
"I'm going to get the house special pasta." Phillipa said. 
"I'm getting the seafood special." Steven told the waitress. 
"I'll get her the ribeye steak with chips." 
"I'll get the same but with salad." Amy smiled and I looked at her. 
"You guys even order the same food. You guys are so cute. I can't handle it." 
"I guess so." I said and smiled and passed her the shot glass and we emptied them. 
"Amy!" Phillipa groaned. 
"You're not legal yet." 
"Oh who cares." Amy rolled her eyes and sipped on her straw. 
"I can't believe you." Phillipa groaned and we waited for our meals. Amy and I shared the salad and the chips. Isn't that cute? We made it to the Theatre and took out seats. 
"Oh I'm so excited." Amy smiled at me.
"You're so cute when you're like this." I said moving her hair out of her face and behind her ear. She kissed my check and smiled.

After the show I pulled out my phone, we were going to wait until the crowd dies down so we could meet the cast. I was busy checking my twitter notifications. There was this one person pretty much spamming me. 
                          
- Guys @/anthony_ramos1 is at the Theatre watching The Colour Purple with @/phillipasoo. 
                          
I went into her twitter account and read her recent tweets. 
                          
- Guys, they brought dates 
                          
- Who's the girl with Anthony 
                          
- Doesn't she work at the Public Theatre? 
                          
- I've seen her around Lin 
                          
I rolled my eyes. This is ridiculous. Why does she care. She had got another 100 tweets about me, literally doing mother but sitting here and watching the show. I showed Amy my phone and she shrugged. 
"She sound weird. I hope we don't bump into-" 
"H-hi. Are you Anthony Ramos. Star of Hamilton?" A teenage girl asked as she came up to me. 
"Y-yeah." I said and Amy took my phone off me and quickly exited the twitter application. 
"I'm Hailey. I'm a huge fan of Hamilton. I haven't seen it yet, but still trying to get tickets." 
"Would you like a photo or something?" I offered and she nodded. 
"Babe. Do you wanna take the photo?" I asked Amy. 
"Sure." She smiled and the girl passed Amy her phone. I posed next to the teenage girl and Amy took the photo. 
"Bye!" She smiled and walked off. The girl completely ignored Amy altogether. 
"H-hey. Have you uhm, spoken to Lin yet?" Amy asked me and walked over. 
"I haven't had time to. Sorry. I'll ask him tomorrow." I smiled and she nodded. Cynthia walked out to greet us. 
"Hey Ant. Who's this?" She said in her English accent. 
"Oh these is my girlfriend Amy." I smiled and Cynthia hugged her. 
"It's so nice to meet you." She smiled.
"You too. You were amazing! Your vocal range is huge. How do you reach those high notes. You're must be exhausted. You must be knacked." Amy said and I got confused although Cynthia smiled and looked at me. "Knacked is just another term for exhausted." Cynthia laughed. "I'm so happy I now know someone who can understand my slang." Phillipa walked over. 
"We're going to head off." She told us. 
"Well, it was nice meeting you Steven." Amy said and hugged him and I shook his hand. 
"Yeah, you too." He said and waved goodbye as he and Phillipa walked hand in hand. Cynthia walked backstage to hang out with the cast. I noticed Amy try to hide a yawn. 
"You tired?" I whispered and took her and and she nodded and cuddled into my chest. 
"Shall I take you back to mine?" I whispered and kissed her head.
