Links POV

"One Latte for Mr Neal?" I looked up from my phone. I walked forward and picked up my coffee off of the counter. I walked down the busy street, struggling to not bump into the many sophisticated business people rushing back and forth from their jobs. I looked down at my phone and saw an very angry text from my boss. I dismissed it and placed it back in my pocket. I took a sip of my coffee.

"Jesus that's hot." I muttered. I walked down the street until I reached the park. I looked around to see many happy couples, holding hands and giggling together. I reflected on when I told my mother that I like boys. She was so happy for me. My dad on the other hand not so much. He refused to even let me live in his house. So my mother left him and we bought a flat together. After a couple of years I moved out and found my own small apartment where I lived alone and found my own job as a waiter in a café.

I suddenly felt the hot splash of my coffee upon my skin and shirt. I hissed in pain.

"Oh my god I am so sorry!" I looked up to meet the dazzling gaze of sea blue eyes. He pulled out a tissue and started to wipe off the stain.

"No no its ok! Its my bad. I wasn't looking where I was going." As I cleared my glasses I focused on him properly. He had dirty blonde hair that was swept back, his beard was neatly trimmed. I couldn't string any words together.

"No its my fault." he leant back and sighed. "You can't walk around like that." I shook my head.

"No its fine." he shook his head back at me.

"No come on. Its not far to my house. You can borrow some of my clothes." he smiled, showing off his pearly white teeth. I followed him, jogging so I could keep up with his long stride. I followed him until we reached a large house. He opened the door with a flourish and dragged me inside. He disappeared, leaving me alone in his giant hallway. He reappeared, carrying large sweatpants and a tshirt.

"They might be a little big but they'll do." he smiled. I took the clothes out of his hands, standing awkwardly.

"Oh how silly of me." he laughed. "The bathroom is the last room down the hallway." I walked down the hallway, my feet padding on the cold wooden floor. I slipped off my wet shirt and trousers and slipped on the warm clothes. I walked back into the kitchen with my sodden clothes.

"Let me take those clothes. And here......." he handed me a mug. "Since you never got your coffee." he laughed. I couldn't help but smile at him. I stared at him as he bustled around his kitchen. He took his own cup of coffee and stood opposite me, sipping quietly. I focused on his eyes.

"Excuse me.....but what is your name?" he cleared his throat.

"I'm sorry." he held out his hand. "I'm Rhett McLaughlin." I grabbed hold of his hand and shook it gently.

"I'm Link. Link Neal."
