Claire's POV:
When I woke up the following morning everything felt so strange. I got dressed and did my make up. I decided to get breakfast outside since I didn't really have anything here so far. After walking through the streets of LA for a while, I found a cute little bakery that didn't seem too busy so I went inside. I ordered a caramel iced latte and a croissant. I payed and sat down at a small table. I really liked the atmosphere here and since I didn't have a job here yet, I decided to ask one of the bakery employees if they were currently hiring, and they were. She got me the contacts of her manager and told me to give him a call in the afternoon. I thanked her and left. When I looked at my phone, the time was 10:33am. I was getting my new car today so I called an uber and he drove me to the car dealership. After signing a few things and refreshing the fuel I could finally leave, with my car this time.

When I was halfway home, I decided to go to the stores since I needed food for the week. I went to target and got a few things, then went back home.
After sorting the groceries into the fridge and freezer I felt like another coffee. I got out my apartment, opened the 'maps' app on my phone and walked to the nearest Starbucks. I got my usual, a caramel iced latte. I thanked the barista and payed. On my way out I put my AirPods in and started to play some music. I didn't want to get back home just now so I went for a little walk to explore the city.

I had walked for about twenty-five minutes until suddenly someone ran into me. "What the fuck?!" I kind of yelled at the person in front of me. It was a tall blonde woman. I looked at her for a second, when I noticed that I had spilled almost my entire coffee at her. "Fuck, I- I'm so sorry" I said looking directly into her eyes. I'm surethey were the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen, they had a greenish grey colour and looked liked they were sparkling because of the sun. I got caught off guard when she started speaking. "No, I'M so sorry, I-" she started, but when she looked down at herself, she saw the coffee running down her sweater, how had she not noticed it before? "Well shit" she said, a smile washed over her face and she looked me right into my eyes. "I have to go back to change, do you mind giving me your number so that I can get you a new coffee?" she said, still smiling wide. "Uh you know you don't have to, I'm the one that spilled the coffee on you." "Oh yeah, but I want to" she said with a slight smirk on her face, while biting down at her lower lip. "I mean yeah sure, why not" I smiled and she pulled out her phone and handed it to me to put my number in. 'Claire (coffee spiller)' was what I put as the contact name, so she'd know whose number that is. "Well, it was nice bumping into you and your coffee but I really need to go back to change now. I'll message you later, I promise." The blonde said, smiling and then turning around and walking away. "Yeah uhm alright, byee!" I slightly shouted going the opposite direction to go to my place.

This woman looked oddly familiar, which was weird since I had just moved here and didn't know anybody, but I swear I've seen her before and I will eventually find out.

When I got home I was kind of sad that I didn't have any company so I decided to call my best friend to catch up on things that had happened back home. We had called for a few hours, we didn't even notice. Time was running so fast when we spent time together. It's not been that long since I've had last seen her but I knew it would take a long time until we could hang out together in person again. We now had a different time zone of three hours so it was pretty late for me. We said our goodbyes and I went to the kitchen to make myself some dinner. I made an avocado toast and ate it along with some slices of apple. When I was done I got ready for bed and put my phone down, when I realised that I had forgotten to call the bakery. I panicked but then decided to just do it the next day.

I turned my tv on and started playing some young Sheldon, about half an hour later I dozed off into a good sleep. When I woke up the next morning I checked my phone, when I noticed I had gotten a message from a number that wasn't saved in my contacts.

Are you kidding right now? First you spill your coffee at me and then you don't even remember that you gave me your number? Rude much ;0

Ohhh, it was her.
