{ Kamilia's POV }

I was walking home from class. It was the last day of the semester, so I'm glad I have the break to relax without class. My body was so sore from all the dancing and acting I did. I'm an aspiring dancer and actress, I also sing as a hobby. I really want to be well known and a role model to others, so I push myself everyday. Today happened to be one of those days that I pushed myself too hard, and I wanted to reward myself.

I kept thinking as I walked down the street to my favorite coffee shop, walking through the door as I heard the bell ring and the comforting smell of coffee. I walked up to the counter and ordered my usual, a white mocha frappucino. Afterwards, I quickly sat down at the table. I pulled out my phone as I read my texts from my friends and family. I giggled a little reading the family group chat, it was only my sister and brother in there besides me, but we always keep each other informed and care for one another even when we're all adults now. Shortly after, I hear my order called out. I stand up to go get my drink, sitting back down afterwards to get on my phone as I sipped my frappucino.

When I unlocked my phone, I got another text from best friend who's also a little!

"Hi Kamil!! I missed you, how are you?" I smiled just from the notification.

"I'm okay Thea! I'm a little exhausted from college and everything, how about you?" I answered honestly, I felt as if I could tell her anything. She'd always been here for me, ever since preschool.

"Happy that you're okay, I know we've both been really stressed lately and haven't been able to slip, so I was wondering if you were free this weekend?" 

"Ofc!! I'd love to, I'll bring some of my toys and snacks and it'll be so fun!" I was smiling even harder, I loved spending any type of time with her.

"Okayyyyy bye bye Kamil!! I love youuuu!"

"BYEEEE I love you too Thea!"

I'm really thankful for Thea, she's the greatest friend I could ever ask for. To be honest, I kinda forgot about my little side for a little. I was so caught up with practice and school that I didn't have time to indulge in it. I'm really excited for our little weekend! I can regress alone happily, but it's even better when I have a friend with me. I was squealing and kicking my legs through the air happily, competely oblivious to my surroundings, so oblivious that I didn't realize the bell rang and another person walked in.

I turned around to look at her and I was mesmerized, she was stunning. She had beautiful strawberry blondish-light pinkish hair that glowed. Her eyes were such a pretty brown. She had a slim figure with curves in all the right places, but not too much. I thought she was gorgeous, but aside from that she also had good sense of style. She was wearing a nice fuzzy pink sweater that hung off her shoulders and white ripped jeans.

Now that I think about her outfit, I feel like mine looks much more childish and cutesy. I had a pink fuzzy skirt on with a sweater that covered part of my hands. I also had some leg warmers and cute Mary Janes. I realized I was staring too long because she noticed, waving at me and giving me a warm smile. I quickly turned around, blushing a little.

Luckily, I sat at a table pointed at the counter so I could look at her some more. Wait now that I think about it that kinda sounds wrong . . .

Damn I seem like a creep right now BUT IM SORRY I CANT HELP STARING AT PRETTY GIRLS WAHHH

She ordered some type of latte and a cake pop, to be honest I couldn't remember the details. I was so infactuated by her voice. She had the softest, most beautiful voice I could ever imagine. It was just so addicting and sweet. I didn't want her to just leave the cafe, I don't know if she's sapphic or even single. Hell, I  don't even know her name! But I don't care, even if we're just friends that's okay. She seems really cool and sweet so whatever happens, happens! Only problem is . . .  well I'm extroverted and outgoing until it comes to pretty girls. I was spaced out for a couple minutes until a voice snapped me out . . .

"Hey, do you mind if I sit with you angel?" She said softly.

"Of course!" I nodded and smiled, but really I was a nervous wreck.

"What's your name?" She asked as she sipped her latte, her eyes studying me.

"Kamilia, what's yours?" I said as I finished off my frappucino. It was very refreshing, I think it was exactly what I needed. I felt low energy as I walked in, but after finishing that drink I feel much better, or maybe it's because I met such a gorgeous girl? Whichever one it was, I was thankful.

"Rose, I think your name is very pretty angel." She said softly, smiling at me.

Rose is a really super pretty name oo oo and we're both named after flowers!

"Thank you! Rose is such a pretty name, I really love it. Did you know we're both named after flowers? Oo also I really like your outfit!!!" I said, my voice a little higher and bouncier.

"Aww thank you love, you're so sweet. Can you tell me a bit about yourself?" I nodded, but to be honest I wasn't really sure what she wanted to know. I mean, what do you say in these types of situations?

"Uhmmmm, I'm Kamilia, I'm 19 years old. I go to college around here and take classes because I want to work as a dancer and actress, oo and this is my favorite coffee shop!"

"This is my favorite coffee shop too, I don't go here often though. By the way, I'm 20 and I'm an accountant."

Wow, that sounds really professional and serious, I could never do that

I thought as I played with my empty cup and knocked it on myself, getting a couple drops on my skirt. My face felt really hot and I felt overwhelmed with embarassment. Before I could even say sorry, Rose got up with a napkin and cleaned me up a little. I didn't mean to notice, but she smelled really good and comforting. She smelled like flowers and honey, I quickly refocused . . .

"I'm really sorry, you didn't have to do that." I said quietly, hiding my face a little. I didn't wanna talk too much because when my anxiety kicks in, my voice can get shakey. I think she seemed to notice though.

"Hey hey it's okay, it's okay angel don't worry. You didn't do anything wrong and I don't mind helping okay?" She said as she hugged me softly.

I started to calm down and I hugged her back really tight. That was when I noticed Rose was taller than me. I'm about 5'4, and she seemed to be about 5'9 when I looked up at her. Her whole demeanor was gentle and caring, I loved every second of it.

"Thank you Rose, I really appreciate it." She really didn't have to calm me down, or stay with me at all, I'm clumsy at the worst times.

"I think we're both done with our drinks, I have to leave right after but we can talk later, mhm?" I nodded, trying to keep a little cool.

We both got up from the table and threw our drinks away. I was about to walk out and go home when she stopped me to give her my number. I completely forgot about that, I'm glad she stopped me. I waved goodbye and headed out the door, my cheeks were red. I thought that was the end until I heard something in the distance.

"I'll text you later princess ~" 

And like that we were both on our way out the door and headed home. The whole walk home I was giggling and smiling, replaying the events in my head.

{ Time Skip}

I was lying on my bed in my apartment. I was still kicking my feet in the air and smiling so much from this morning. I was telling my cat, Milk, all about Rose. Milk is a a white ragdoll cat, I've had her ever since I was 17 and I love her to death. She's my 2nd best friend besides Thea. Speaking of Thea, I forgot to text her and tell her!!

"THEAAAAAAAA ITS IMPORTANT"  I texted, not caring it was about 10 pm.

"Yes Kamil are you okay??" She replied quickly, probably worried about me. Maybe I chose bad wording, I hope she isn't too worried, she knows I tend to vent or get upset at night so maybe she's expecting that. BUT BUT NOT TODAYY!!!

"I MET THIS PRETTY GIRL NAMED ROSE AND WE TALKED AND I GAVE HER MY NUMBER AND AND SHE WAS REALLY SWEET" I squealed just texting, trying not to get too excited or I'll slip.

"Omggg I'm so happy for you!! Do you think she's a Mommy?!"

"I mean maybe . . . She was really nice and called me petnames and calmed me down. She just had this very calming and caring aura around her, I was mesmerized." 

"AHHHH I'm so happy for you bestie!! I know you're interested in her but make sure she treats you right before anything serious okay? I will personally whoop her ass and make her life hell if she hurts you." I laughed, Thea was so protective of me but in a funny way.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure she's good for me. Anyways, I think I'll try to sleep now, goodnight Thea! Sweet dreams!" I texted as I yawned.

"Goodnight." 

I let out another yawn, petting Milk as I pull the covers over me. I sat in bed for a little, and as I was about to fall asleep my phone vibrated. I sleepily moved my hand and looked at my phone . . .

"I'm sorry for texting so late, but goodnight princess <3" 

"Goodnight Rose, I hope you get the bestest sleep!" I texted before I fell asleep cuddling my stuffie, Sprinkles.
