AVA

Ava was at her work. Everyone from her team was on lunch. But not Ava. She was very hardworking and skipped having lunches on lunch time quite often. She needed to edit her closing statement for her case. Her mind was all on it but her concentration was broken due to the notifications on her phone.

(text messages)

Trevor: HI!!

Trevor: This is me. Trevor.

Trevor: The guy you thought you hit.

Trevor: I got a checkup done from the hospital.

Ava: Take a picture of the receipt and send it to me. Send your account details too.

Trevor: Can't you meet me in person and give?

Ava was getting suspicious of the guy. Due to her lawyer instincts she thought of him to be a criminal. Only a criminal won't have a bank account. She went to Starbucks after her office her ended.

Ava: It was very weird of you to not having at any bank account details. Are you a criminal?

Trevor: This is my College Id and driver's license. If you don't believe me, you can check with the police.

Ava: Then why did you ask to meet in person?

Trevor: So.. I could meet you. To be honest, I wasn't that hurt, but since you told me to call after I went to the hospital, I went deliberately. I also thought hard about what I could say when I meet you next time. Ever since I saw you for the first time, which was last month when I joined Starbucks... since then I have been thinking about you. Would it be bad if I ask you out on a date sometime?

Ava's brain fused up. She had people come up to her and ask her out but no one this handsome. He was a good looking tall guy. His hair was scruffed up because before that he was wearing a hair-net. He had olive green eyes. His fine boned face was very clear as he was clean shaven. He was more than perfect, better than everyone Ava imagined to be dating. Ava went to Ryan's bar as everyone decided to meet up there. When she reached Maeve and Kiera were already there. She needed to break the news. After all, her finding a guy good enough for her was rare. She told them about the accident and the conversation she had with him.

Kiera: An MIT student?

Maeve: Younger than you?

Kiera: Is he handsome?

Ava nodded her head thrice as a yes. Kiera and Maeve high fived each other in happiness.

Ava: You guys approved so fast.

Kiera: Young , handsome and smart!

Maeve: That's always an yes!!

Ryan entered with the food plates shushing them.

Ryan: You guys are so loud! What if he is a con artist? Just look. How can he think of Ava's face for a whole month? A guy gotta get tired at some point. Are you sure he is not blind?

Ava pulled up the middle finger on him.

Ryan: Okay, Okay, Just saying it's weird.

CALEB

I walked in Ryan's restaurant in a hurry. There was too much noises on the street and I needed a calm atmosphere or atleast a familiar one. I could see the table filled with Kiera, Maeve, Ava and Ryan. Kiera looked at me and then pulled up the chair next to her. I didn't expect she'd do that. I walked fast to sit there but when I was going to sit, there was no chair. I fell down right on the butt.
