Perfect Stranger

Hello! This is actually just a short story but I do hope you enjoy it :)

Gavin was on his way to the train station, he was running late again for work. He was walking fast and he would bump into some people. He was standing at one corner and he kept looking at his watch while waiting for the train to arrive.

When the train has arrived, he immediately made his way inside but because of the number of people, he got squeezed, he tried to break free and he accidentally hit a girl, which made her fall to the ground.

"Crap. I'm so sorry" Gavin apologized and helped the girl stood up.
"No, it's okay" She said and smiled.

Gavin couldn't talk for a moment. The girl had a beautiful face and smile. Gavin felt something he couldn't explain. The girl finished picking up her stuff, she smiled again and walked away.

Gavin finally arrived at the office he was working at. He was still thinking about the girl earlier.

"You look occupied and you're late, boss wants the papers now" his officemate said.
"I met this girl"
"Met? A girl?"
"I mean, I accidentally hit her and. . ."

His officemate rolled her eyes and got the papers from him then walked away. When work was done, Gavin went back to the train station, hoping to see the girl again. But unfortunately, she wasn't there. So he decided to go home.

The next morning Gavin woke up early, he was hoping to see the girl again. He went to the train station and waited at the same corner yesterday. He was looking around but there was no sign of her. One hour had passed, he was late for work again. So he decided to leave.

Gavin was almost inside the train when he looked back again for the last time, he finally saw the girl. His heart raced fast. He tried to approach the girl but some people going inside the train had pushed him, he tried to get out but there were a lot of people blocking his way and the girl was almost near the exit of the train station. The engines started and the train was ready to embark.

3 days had passed now and he hasn't seen the girl again. He was thinking of giving up, she was just a stranger anyway.

What are you thinking? She's probably married.

Gavin thought to himself. He went inside the train and he was thankful there were available seats, since it was still early. He was reading a text from his phone then someone sat next to him, he looked at the person's direction. He was surprised of what he saw, it was the girl. The girl smiled at him, she remembered Gavin.

"Hi, I think I know you" the girl chuckled.
"Ye-yeah" Gavin stuttered "3 days ago"
"Oh. . . Yes I remember now" the girl said with a smile "I'm Aena by the way"
"Gavin"

Aena nodded and their conversation ended. Gavin wanted it to keep going but he couldn't think of something good to say and the bus is about to stop now.

"Uhh. . . You wanna grab some coffee some time?" Gavin asked.
"With a stranger?" Aena said "You seem like a nice stranger, so okay sure"
"Wow. I mean, okay. Coffee Chill tomorrow, 4 pm"

Aena smiled and nodded. The bus has finally stopped.

"I gotta go now. Nice meeting you" Gavin said.
"You too" Aena replied.

The next day when work was done, Gavin rushed to grab a cab. He finally arrived at the meeting place, he looked for Aena and he was glad to see her. She was reading a book and drinking her coffee. Gavin approached her.

"Sorry I was late, I had to finish some papers"
"It's okay. I just got here"

Gavin sat down and ordered some coffee as well.
