MARILYN

I twisted my curly hair around my finger once again in frustration as I couldn't find the inspiration to write my essay which was due next week. I took a sip of my coffee as I hugged the fuzzy blanket as the evening was really cold. I placed my laptop down and stood up from the chair as I stretched out my hands. I walked down to my closet and picked out my sweater and my shoes. I went towards the door of my room as I switched of the lights because I was going off to find some inspiration. I quickly walked down to the door of the room owned by the shy and reserved jasmine, my best friend aka my partner in crime. I opened the door and found her really engrossed into the book she was reading.

"I'm going out." I said as I stood at the front of her room needing her attention.

"Where to." she replied looking up from her book and sitting up straight on her bed.

"Oh I'm going for a walk, I will be back soon." I muttered out to her before hurriedly walking out of her room slipping on my coat. I shut the door of the apartment which we both shared and headed off to the elevator.

I got off and made my way down to the small café which I absolutely loved. I entered the place and ordered some cheese bread and a delicious cup of mint tea. I sat down in cosey booth as I stared out the window looking at all the activities going on in London.

"Excuse me." A masculine voice said bringing me out of my thoughts. I looked up and saw a pair of brown eyes looking down at my dark brown eyes. My order was already placed on the table as I regained my composure.

"I'm sorry got a little lost there." I apologised.

"No worries it happens." He said with his cute accent which might I add was simply divine.

"Oh and thanks for bringing my order down here." I thanked him.

I quietly studied his incredible features. He had brown hair which was up in a quiff with a pair of  warm brown eyes to match.

"Mind if I join you I just got off my shift and it is a little boring here." He asked which took me by surprise as the brown haired beauty just asked if he could stay with me.

" No problem." I replied watching his fit but lanky figure sit across me.

"And by the way my name is Kian what is yours?" he asked me.

"My name is Marilyn''.

''So what brings you to Wales I can clearly tell that you are not from around here from your accent."

"I attend Wrexham  college right now but I am from Iowa in America." I said taking a sip from the delicious hot liquid oozing down my throat.

"Well I am also from America but my parents moved here when I was six and I am also in college but I work at this café since its my parents just to help out." He said as I couldn't help but notice how his eyes were just so beautiful  or how his pink lips moved while he was talking.

"That is very nice of you well I've got to get going as I really need to get home quickly." I said as I got up to leave but he stopped me asking if I could see him tomorrow as he was working till he had an afternoon class. of course I told him yes as I couldn't wait to see him again. I walked out of the café heading back home.

When I got home I saw jasmine sitting on the floor with her boyfriend Xavier drinking some wine. I didn't want to interrupt so I snuck off to my room putting of my shoes and changing into my sleepwear getting ready for bed. I heard the door creak open as I saw my brown eyed friend enter my room.

"Xavier just left and I thought you were sleeping but since you are not tell me about your little outing today." she said while she  jumped on my bed.

"Well I went to the café down the block and I met this guy with brown  hair and the brightest pair of brown  eyes I've ever seen his name was kian  and we talked for a little while but we are meeting up again at the café tomorrow."

"Thank the heavens you have finally grown the balls to find a hot guy." she replied excitement laced in her voice.

"Oh jaz we are just friend you need some sleep so goodnight." I muttered out pulling my fluffy duvet around my body.

"Goodnight Marilyn." she yawned out and left my room. I closed my eyes and slept blissfully.

The next morning I got out of bed and brushed my teeth leaving to go make breakfast. I put on some music and went to the kitchen making toast and eggs for me and jaz. I got so lost in the music as I started dancing much to the amusement of a clearly grumpy jasmine.

"I am leaving with Xavier to Dublin for spring break." she announced breaking my hopes of a wild adventure for spring break.

"Jaz I cant be here all alone for spring break."

 "But you can spend time with that kian guy you met yesterday." she suggested.

" I guess so." I muttered out sad that jaz was leaving.

After breakfast I hopped in the shower taking my time as I lathered my hair with shampoo. I got out and put on a dress and my boats leaving my hair a wavy bundle as I headed out going to the café.

I got in and sat down looking around for Kian as I spotted himwalking towards me with a cup of coffee in his hands.

"Hey." he greeted me

 "Hi." I replied anxiously as I was a bundle of nerves.

"You look rather bit blue what happened." he asked in his deep sexy voice which left me a mess as I couldn't simply put together my words.

" My best friend is leaving for spring break with her boyfriend and I will be really lonely because my other friend Dakota is going to Croatia ." I said managing to speak clearly.

"Well I am here so we could hang out most of the time if you wouldn't mind." He suggested I agreed as I longed for the next time I would see him.

"well I have got to get going so see you tomorrow Harry." I said before he asked me for my number.

I left the café and headed off to do some grocery shopping. I smiled as I saw a text from Kian telling me I looked nice, I smiled and headed to the store.
