I woke up feeling groggy. I got like 5 hours pof sleep last night and I freaking feel like crap. Already. Thank God i took this week off, thought that might have been the reason for me getting zip amount of sleep.

"I need coffee." I thought to myself. I rarely get coffee, since I'd rather not shrink, but I need the caffeine right now. I quickly dressed and headed out. A starbucks was a few house down, so i didn't need to drive. Which was good because I probably would have crashed into a tree. And still not have known.

I opened the door and jumped at the doorbell noise. Ugh. Why do these things always scare me?! They're freaking doorbells! I walked to the counter and ordered a dark, strong black coffee. They're supposed to wake you up right? Well I suppose all coffee is suppose to do that...

The cashier, Mike -how original-, gave me coffee and I sat down. That's about the time I noticed her. She was sitting in the table next to mine. She's beautiful. Her long, golden hair and dyed red bangs. Her pale green eyes and full lips. She had a red sticker on her nose. I could tell it was a sticker because part of it was coming off. She was reading a book and every so often she would take a drink of her coffee. There were earphones in her ears that were attached to a white ipod classic with black scribbles on it.

She must have felt my eyes on her because she looked up. Her green eyes met my grey eyes and she blushed. I smiled at her, getting up. I walked to her table and waited til she took out her earphones.

"Hey. DO you mind if I still here?" I didn't just wanna sit down. That would be rude.

"Of course not." Her voice was captivating and soft. She smiled at me and my heart squeezed. I didn't believe in love at first sight til now. She held out one small, pale hand. "Hi. I'm Anastasia Skyy." I shook her hand.

"Hey." I smiled back at her. "I'm Vincent Lowry." I sat on the seat across from her. She began to read her book again. "Can I ask you something?"

"Of course." Anastasia replied, closing her book.

"Do you believe in love at first sight?" Anastasia nodded. "Then can I be completely honest with you?"

"Please." I smiled at that.

"I think I'm in love with you." Anastasia blushed and looked down.

"I think I'm in love with you, too." She whispered and I had to lean in to her what she was saying. "But it's silly because I know absolutely nothing about you, and yet I can tell you're a good person."

"I've done bad things before." I countered.

"Who hasn't?" She has a really good point there.

"Then do you want to go on a date with me?"

"Absolutely." I smiled at her and she smiled back. She grabbed my hand and wrote her number on it. "And here." She handed me her Ipod. "Listen to this."

Anastasia got up, kissed my cheek, and left. Scrolling through the Ipod, I found a playlist labled, "I've been waiting for you my entire life". I clicked on it and all of my favorite songs were on it. Thats when I saw the picture. It was a picture of writing that said "When words fail music speaks".

I barely know her and I already think she's amazing.
