BEEP BEEP BEEP!

"UGH!" I pull the covers above my head not wanting to get up. "Anna, babe, get up, you've got work today." My best friend and new roommate Beth says walking into my room.

"Don't remind me," I say slowly getting outta bed. "I thought you were excited about this new job?"

"I am, just wish I could sleep longer. I was dreaming about Timothee Chalamet, he bought me flowers." I say walking into the bathroom.

"Well, maybe you could buy yourself flowers before you go to work?" Beth says leaning on the bathroom door frame.

"Good idea"

Before I know it I'm dressed and ready for my first day.

"Hey before you go, Tommy invited us to this show, a couple of bands are supposed to play at this bar. You wanna go?" Tommy is Beth's boyfriend, he works as a roadie so he's able to get us into all sorts of gigs. I never know what to expect. "Sure, I'll go."

I make my way to a small flower shop only a block away from the apartment.

Out of the corner of my eye, I notice my favorite flowers, white carnations with red lining. The only ones at the shop.

Suddenly me and this random hand grab the carnations at the same time. When I look up I notice a pale boy looking back at me.

"Oh sorry," He says as he quickly removes his hands from the flowers. I simply smiled, not knowing what to say. The boy had a brown mullet and the prettiest colored eyes that I could just get lost in.

"Carnations, a good pick!" He says, dragging me out of my daze.

"Thanks, I love carnations, they're my favorite flower," I say, still admiring his beautiful eyes.

"You know, if you're gonna stare I should at least get your name." He says with a smug look on his face. "Anna," I say extending a hand out.

"Rob," he says meeting my hand and giving it a light shake. His hands were soft but I didn't want to be weird so I quickly let go.

"Woww didn't have to let go that quickly!" the pale boy says, faking being hurt.

"Well you don't exactly have model hands" I saw playing along.

"Ow! Anna you're breaking my heart!" He says holding his hands to his heart "You'll get over it," I push him playfully.

"Hey, do you happen to know the time?" "Uh, yea it's," he grabs out his phone to check "11:20"

"Shit, I'm late for my first day!" I say suddenly very frantic "First day??" a confused look forms on his face.

"Yea, of my new job! I gotta go I'm sorry!" Before I could run away I feel his hand grab my arm.

"Wait! Will I ever see you again?" He asks. "We'll let fate decide," I say before rushing to work.

I quickly call a cab and am on my way. I recently got a job as a therapist! Beth, my best friend since diapers, asked me to move in with her. That's one reason why I'm here in Dublin and not in Kentucky of all places. And thanks to my occupation, I can live almost anywhere.
