This oneshot takes place in 2026. They are 19 years old and have never met each other before.
Harper looked around the little cafe where she was supposed to meet some guy from Tinder named Josh. Josh was nowhere to be seen, late - she hated when guys were late. Looking around the cafe, she saw a mother and a little girl drinking their hot cocoas, two old men reading newspapers together, a group of girls her age giggling. The summer smell of sweet flowers and roasted coffee swirled around in the air, Summer sun leaked in through floor to ceiling windows. What a nice atmoshpere, then the store bell rung as a tall pale man with orange curly cropped hair and royal blue eyes, his thin pink lips pursed for a moment, his eyes scanned the cafe until they reached her, he smiled- a small one reveling pearly white teeth,
"Are you harper?" He asked confidently, his voice is kinda hot... she thought.
"Yeah." She stood up and walked a few paces with her hand out to shake his hand and greet him, but then he pulled her into a smothering bear hug?! His colone is really strong. It was all Harper could do to stop her nose from wrinking up. His hands gripped her lower back, making her really uncomfortable - he released her and smiled, "Nice to meet you."
Harper fake smiled, "Yeah, nice to meet you!"
"Shall we order?" He said, motioning to the waiter to come over,
"Yeah."
The waiter walked to the two seat table Josh flipped over the menu as he asked,
"What do you think you'll get?"
"I don't know... maybe an in-house made macncheese,"
"Okay,"
The waiter looked back and forth to both of them, she looked him over, he was a little but taller than her but still eye level, he had brow/dark dirty blonde hair and pretty hazel eyes and few small freckles on his cheekbones, his name tag on his apron read, Griffin.
He asked bordley, "Hello, my name is griffin, may I take your order?"
Josh answered, "Ok, I'll take an in-house made macncheese, and she'll have a garden salad."
Griffin the waiter flinched slightly, he had noticed.
"Uhhh," Harper tried to interject, What!? That's not what i ordered! I guess I'll take it.
"Any thing to drink?" The waiter- griffin asked,
Josh answered for harper once more,
"Yes, I'll have a coke and sheel take water."
"Alright, so, one in-house macncheese, one garden salad, coke and water?"
"Actually-" Harper tried to ask, only to be intrupped by josh, ick.
"Yep, that's it!" Josh smirked. The waiter walked away with a note pad in hand. Josh turned to her,
"Do you have any plans for the fourth of july?"
"No, not really, I'm just probably gonna go to my friends and watch some horror movie,"
He completely ignored Harper and continued "It's our job as patriots and citizens of the USA to celebrate, and if you don't, you aren't a real American."
Wow, strong opinions, but he completly blew me off and ignored me! Josh continued on about being a patriot and fourth of July stuff all the while making Harper ick even more. Then what seemed like hours later, griffin came back with the macncheese, but in his other hand he had macncheese for her! he set it in their respective spots on the table and walked back to get their drinks. Harper smiled at him, he winked back at her.
As They ate their food Josh went on about his dog and how cute his dog is proceeding to chew with his mouth opend and spitting on her multiple times, then he showed her a picture of his rat dog, Mr. Buchanan

Near he inched closer to her on the bench, putting his arm around her, then leaning in, his lips puckered. Harper pushed him back, his face immediately changed to red anger, it did not look good with his freckles,
"What the fuck!" He quiet-yelled at her looking around the cafe to see if anyone was looking.
"No."
He turned from her and pulled out his phone to and opened it, and pressed on contact, BROTHER CHARLES, typed, this girl is wack>
<oh? But she's really hot You need to bring her back
<so we can have some fun...
Your right Charles, I. Do want to fuck her>
He turned off his phone, Harper quickly pretended to be interested in the flowers in the middle of the table but then looked at the cash register counter and saw the waiter- griffin looking at her, he quickly scribbled something on a piece of napkin and walked over with the check. He said, "Who will be taking the check today?"
"I will" Josh claimed
"Actually I'll be paying for what I ordered, so 18 dollars?" She said fishing dollar bills out of her pocket as griffin put the faux leather check holder on the table. A napkin slipped out and fell in her lap. She looked at Griffin and he winked at her. Josh wrinkled his face and let her put her bills in the pocket, then Josh handed griffin his card. He walked away and came back a few seconds later with two receipts and handed them each to her and Josh. Then he took their plated and walked away. Harper slid out of the seat and smoothed down her skirt, but not before Josh pinched her inner thigh and squeezed her ass cheek,
"So will you be coming home with me tonight..." He smirked.
"No you fucking pervert!"
Aw, but baby-"
She slapped him across his face twice, Picked up the napkin that the waiter had given her and walked out of the cafe. As she walked to her car she looked at the napkin, it had a number scribbled on it. And a name, griffin.
You deserve so much better than him- griffin caampbell. she sat in her blue toyota, unlocking her phone she called the number written on the napkin.
"Hello?" A heavenly voice answers.
"HI, are you griffin campbell?" She whispered
"Yes, yes I am."
"Well you gave me your number on a napkin,"
"Yes, yes I did, and I know that you deserve someone much better than, what was it? Josh."
"Yeah I do."
"And did you know that you're the most beautiful woman I have ever seen?"
"No."
Then a slight knock sounded on the passenger door window, she looked up and there he was with a phone to his ear. She rolled down the window, he took his phone down,
