EMMA'S POV
It was Saturday morning . I looked at the alarm clock, it was 8:30 am. I remembered that I didn't have to go to work until 8:00 pm so I fell black asleep. After about a hour I got up and went to the bathroom. I grabbed the curling iron and started curling my hair slightly, straight on the top with bouncy curls on the bottom. After putting on my makeup, I got a text from my good friend Mary Margaret.
Mary Margaret : hey Emma, want to get lunch today at New York's pizza kitchen?
I responded : sure, I'll meet you there at 12:45?
Mary Margaret : sounds good :)
I threw on a crop top and a skirt and went downstairs to make breakfast. When I was finished It was about 10:30 am, so I decided to go and run some errands before I went out to lunch. When I was finished getting groceries, I went to Starbucks to get a coffee. I sat down waiting for my name to be called. After what felt like hours I thanked the worker for my coffee and walked outside. I was almost at my car when I slipped, I was about to fall when I was pulled up. I looked up and saw a handsome man holding me. I pulled away from his grasp and said thank you. He said your welcome with the softest voice. After starring into his light blue eyes for awhile I quickly walked away.

Killian's POV
I woke up and started getting ready for work. I had to be there in 45 minutes, so I took a shower and threw on some jeans and a shirt. I didn't have time to make breakfast so I decided to go and get some Starbucks. I got out of my car and started walking in. Before I reached the store I turned around and caught someone. I didn't know who it was but she was the most beautiful women I had ever seen. She had perfect emerald green eyes, which I couldn't stop gazing into. After what seemed like minutes she said thank you in the softest way she could. I hesitated, then replied your welcome. Before I could ask what her name was she quickly walked away. I went into Starbucks and tried to get my mind off of her but I couldn't. I looked down at the time ( 10:55 ) and realized I gad to be at work in 5 min. I quickly left and drove off. When I was at work I got a group text.
Robin: hey guys dinner tonight at the local?
David : me and my wife's good friend works there I can get a reservation! meet you guys there at 8:00?
Will: sounds great see you there!
I responded: Can't wait!
I put my phone away and continued working.

EMMA'S POV
I arrived home and put away my groceries. All I could think about was that man who caught me. About 10 minutes later I realized I had to get going. I looked at my phone and saw a text from David. David is Mary Margaret's husband and my good friend.
David: hey Emma! I hope you have fun with Mary today. Is there anyway I can get a reservation at the local at 8:00 ?
I responded: I can make that work see you then! :)
I hopped in the car and drove to New York's pizza kitchen. When I got there I saw Mary Margaret and I headed towards her. "Hey Mary Margaret" I said giving her a hug. "Emma! Hey" she hugged back. We walked in and sat down at a table. We talked about her, her husband, and their son, Neal. After spacing for while, Mary Margaret noticed something was wrong. "Emma I'm your best friend I know when something is off. What's wrong?" She said. I snapped back into reality,,and told her about the man. "Did you give him your name?" She asked. "No I walked away quickly. I was nervous, I didn't know what to do." I said. "We'll who knows maybe you will see him again" she said. "I highly doubt it." I replied. After paying and saying good bye, I went back home and took a nap until it was time to get ready for work. I worked at the local so it had to be fancy. I kept my hair the way it was, but threw on a tight black dress. It ended above the knees. I put on mascara and eyeliner, and tinted red lip gloss. I threw on some fashionable flats and headed out the door.

KILLIAN'S POV
At 7:25 I went home from work and got ready. I put on a new pair of jeans, a shirt and I combed my hair. When I was finished getting ready I hopped in the car and drove to the restaurant. All I could think about was the beautiful, emerald green eyed women.
When I got to the restaurant I saw robin and David. "Hey guys!" I said. "Killian, what's up?" Robin said. "Hey Killian!" David said. "Nothing much." I replied. "Where is Will?" I asked. "I don't know" they said in unison. "Should we... Right as I was about to finish my sentence, Will pulled up and parked his car. "Sorry I'm late! There was traffic." We all said it was ok. We walked into the restaurant and gave our reservation. We sat down as the waitress came over.
