My name is Jane Rivers. I'm 26 years old and my favorite part about life is to brag at my friends back in Virginia about how life is working at the World Trade Center.
Flashback
"Girl, we have parties and stuff like every week!" Jane exclaims over the phone to her BFF Sophia
"O-M-G! It must be so fun there!" Sophia happily responds
"Yes Sophs! It's so fun!"
REALITY
Jane sits in front of the Microsoft computer with the straightest face ever. "I hate this job." BACK TO FLASHBACK
"Yeah! Really fun! So when I come back to Virginia do you want to..."
"Do each other's nails!" "Do each other's nails!"
The two both squeal over the phone like two 13 year olds.
END OF FLASHBACK
Jane walks in the World Trade Center 1 and goes up to the 87th floor to Barcley Dawer floor and goes to her office.
She types types and types on the computer for 3 hours and it is finally her break time. She stands up and walks out of her office to see another guy stand up. His name is Alex Stephen.
Jane is completely flustered about how he just left his office. He was completely the type she had been talking about on the phone with Sophia.
Alex's POV
My name is Alexander Stephen and when I stepped out of my office I saw the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. She looks so pretty.
So I walk up to her.
"Hi." Shoot, that wasn't coo-
"Hello." Jane replies.
"I'm Alex, since we're co-workers, should we get to know each other more?" I asked. I sound like a total weirdo! Get it together Alex!
"S-s-sure" Jane replies
Yes, I did it!
Jane's POV
Wh-ha I don't know what happened. I just agreed but now I guess I have to go with him.
"I'll see you at Windows on The World, floor 107." He said to me.
I wanted to scream with excitement but I didn't.
7:00 PM, NOVEMBER 17th.
I came in my fancy red dress and saw this Alex guy dressed up in a black suit jacket and pants with some good looking shoes and a red vest with a bow tie.
"You were prepared for this night weren't you?" I said, chuckling a tiny bit
"Yeah, seems like you were too" he replied.
I know he didn't say that

I knew he couldn't be talking.
"So...what is your favorite color?" I ask. It's black. I'm not emo, I promise" Alex replies and we both chuckle.
"Where are you from?" Alex asks me.
"Virginia, my parents though are from Maryland" I reply
"Geeze, do you eat crab-" I cut Alex off because that's what everyone assumes when they are part Marylander. I cut him off because it's completely true! I love crabs
"I like chicken and shrimp too." What am I saying?
He looks at me at with a confused face and the waiter comes. I sigh.
As we order, I think why i'm so awkward.
"So, uh...sorry for asking that." Alex musters up
I look at him
"It's fine." I say
ALEX'S POV
I don't know but I felt comfortable around her. For some reason I leaned in then she leaned in then...
