He asked me if I had plans for the day. I said no, even though I was supposed to talk to my landlord about the lack of heat control in my shower. Anyway, he said,
"Good because I am quite interested in you." He frowned, "Fuck that sounded so creepy and perverted. I am so sorry. In reality I am a 25 year old guy with a massive hangover who finds you stunningly beautiful." I could feel my cheeks flush.
"Ok, let's grab a coffee. There is a small place a couple blocks away that no one really knows about." I said. He smiled.
We walked to the coffee shop and looked at the menu for about 30 seconds. And he ordered, a black coffee, hot. I ordered mine with milk and sugar. He seemed like a black coffee kind of guy.
~~~~~ Matty's POV
She seemed like a milk and sugar kind of girl. Her auburn hair, blue eyes and freckles made her seem like a stereotypical, sweet, quiet girl. But the way she wore her hair down covering up her face, added a mystery. As she took off her jacket I could see the corner of a tattoo on the inside of her left forearm.
"What's your tattoo?" I asked, she smiled and showed me. It was the word 'undo' in black lettering with two dots on either side. "I get it, it's a metaphor, right?" I said.
"Yeah. Wow not a lot of people get it. I wanted something ironic yet artistic." and she smiled, "So what are you doing in New York?"
"I'm in a band and we are trying to get our name into the American fanbase." I told her.
"That's so cool. What kind of music do you play?"
"On iTunes we are under indie pop but I'm not sure if I agree with that." I said, "Enough about me, what do you do?"
"Oh I'm not that interesting, I work at a hospital as an anesthesia nurse. In other words I help knock people out before surgery." She said. Wow this chick completely has her life together. She looks a bit younger than me maybe by a couple of years.
"Well you seem to have your shit together a lot better than I do." I laughed, she laughed.
~~~~ Isobel's POV
It was probably 7 o'clock when we left the coffee shop. The evening air was cool maybe even a bit cold but I can't complain.
"So you're kind of a tourist and you probably do a lot of touristy things but if you wanna be a New Yorker you have to know the little, hidden places that are the best."
"Ok" He said.
"So do you wanna see someplace cool?"
"Always"
