0.1 - meeting you

New York is the best place to be in the fall and winter. Walking throughout Manhattan with my two best friends is amazing.

We were walking around and trying to find stores to shop in.

"So I was thinking about having a wine and pizza night if you two are game." Iris spoke.

I've known Iris for years. We starred in a couple Disney Chanel movies together.

"You know I'm always down for a wine and pizza night." Nora, our other friend, agreed to it.

I know I couldn't help but agree to the plans either knowing they were my favorite nights.

We walked along the sidewalk, arms linked together. "Let's go into this shoe store, I need new heels desperately." Iris spoke.

She led us into the shoe store, breaking our arms apart. We all followed her to where the heels are.

I might need some too so I start looking for some. As I turned the corner to follow them, I accidentally bumped into someone causing me to stumble back.

"I am so sorry." I apologize as I look up. My breath catches in my throat as I make eye contact with the stranger.

I couldn't take my eyes away from his face. He was naturally beautiful.

I was at a loss for words as I stared at him. A smile started to grow on his face as he looked at me.

"Don't worry about it, love." I was shocked by his accent. I don't know how but his accent made him even more attractive.

I know it made me weak-kneed. I was trying to find words to say. "Are you sure?" A small laugh escaped his lips as he nodded.

"Yes, I'm sure. Are you okay?" He asked nicely. I can't get over his accent.

I know I just met him but I want to know him more and better.

"I feel like I should be asking you that. I'm okay though." I let him know.

Before he could say anything, the girls started calling my name. I purse my lips as I look at him.

"I hope I see you again." I bravely say. I swear, as I backed away, his face turned red.

His eyebrows were slightly furrowed as he watched me walk away with a smile.

"Do you wanna explain who that mysterious man is?" Iris looked at me with her eyebrows furrowed.

I blushed at the thought of him, but then instantly frowned. "I didn't get his name." I frowned.

"How did you not get his name?" Nora asked as I shrugged. I looked towards him to see he had moved.

"I couldn't think clearly when I was talking to him." I inform them. I didn't see him in the store anymore so I'm assuming he had left, sadly.

They started giggling a little at me. "Aria has a crush on a stranger." They teased causing me to turn red.

"Shut up, let's find some shoes." I changed the subject. I hate that I didn't get the attractive strangers name.

While we looked at the high heels, I couldn't help but continue on scanning around the store, looking for the brunette stranger.

I couldn't help but think about the encounter. We spent the whole day, walking around Manhattan and shopping.

Around six, we went back to my Manhattan apartment to have the girls night.

When we get there, we were greeted with my dog, Winnie. She's a golden-doodle and my friends love her and vice versa.

While Nora ordered the pizza, Iris looked for something to watch, and I grabbed some wine out of the cabinet.
