This is what I was in need of.

I was sat in Starbucks with venti sized pumpkin spiced latte. Alone! Reading paper towns by John green. It was bliss. I had Troye Sivan blasting my eardrums out, no one was bothering me. This is bliss. Just me, I seriously needed some alone time.

I woke up this morning in dying need of my pumpkin spiced latte, so I decided to shower, get dressed. I was feeling really bohemian today... That resulted in my epic outfit.
I was wearing a plain white halter top tucked into my dark blue ripped denim shorts, with a black and white kimono and brown sandals! I had my round sunglasses on my head, and braided my hair the night before so the lose waves ran down my back.

The one thing I admitted I liked about my body was my tan. My dad is half greek so that makes me quarter greek! That greek got to work and made me fairly tanned. I loved it!

It was a hot autumn day in Cali! I decided to take a trip to the mall. I planned to get some new Mac make up while I was here.

I was in the middle of my book when I felt a tap on my shoulder. Oh this is the part when they kick me out because I have been here for too long. I looked up and was greeted with dark chocolate brown eyes. My attention focused on the jawline. That unforgettable jawline. My breathing hitched. Noah Blair.

"Hi?" I asked confused. He smiled back at me, raising his eyebrows as he did so. I saw his lips moving but I couldn't hear what he was saying. All I could hear was Troye Sivan.

Emma you idiot, your earphones. I pulled them out quickly and looked back up to meet his smiling face.

"Sorry what was that?" I asked.

"Mind if I sit here?" He said gesturing to the chair in front of me.

"Uh..." My lips failed me. He sat down anyway.

"So what's your name?" He smiled at me again.

"Why do you want to know?" I asked. I only just noticed Bert and all of the guys looking our way. This was probably a dare or something.

He was taken a back by this. I guess he didn't expect for me to be so rude. But to be honest, I wasn't in the mood for pranks.

"Um... Just... I want to know, that is how you meet people." God his voice was like honey. It was husky but yet smooth. Like it was clear and in control but then a bit like how boys sound when they wake up in the mornings. Cute. No not cute. Fucking amazing.

"Listen, I was just about to leave... So bye!" I collected my things as smoothly as I could, leaving a tip on the table. I started to leave.

"Wait! At least tell me your name!" He called after me.

"Information access not granted!" I said smiling. His little stunned look on his face was so adorable.

"Alright Starbucks girl!" He called back with a small chuckle.

I walked around the mall for another full two hours, walking in and out of shops, window shopping. I had picked up a new Mac lip stick in the shade rebel. It was the perfect berry colour for me. I also brought some more foundation, powder, and two nail polishes. That's a lot to spend in Mac! But I had a gift card from my birthday. I went into Victoria secret and picked up some more underwear.

I made my way home taking the bus.

When I got home I could hear my mother and father sat in the living room, I heard two other voices I hadn't heard before. I walked into the living room and was greeted by two strangers.
