*The Next Morning*

McKayla woke up, feeling a tad bit better. She looked at her phone.

"CRAP! I'M GONNA BE LATE!" she yelled

Quickly getting dressed, she headed to her first final. She slid right by the door and went in just as the bell rang for classes. Taking her seat, she was handed her final.

*One Hour Later*

McKayla walked out of the room and headed to the closest café. She walked up to the counter and looked at the man who was working.

"Was ist der stärkste Kaffee Sie haben? (What's the strongest coffee you have)" she asked

The guy smiled and started making her drink. Not knowing what he was making, he handed he the drink.

"Vielen Dank! Wie viel schulde ich dir? (Thanks! How much do I owe you?)" she asked

"On the house" he answered with a thick German accent

"You speak English?" McKayla asked excitedly

"Not very well, but I can hold a conversation" he replied with a smile

She smiled back, then went into shock mode

"Won't you get fired?!" she said with a worried tone

He kept smiling and shook his head no

"Everyone here does it" he answered

McKayla sighed in relief and took a sip of her drink. With her eyes getting big she looked at the drink then at the man.

"This. Is. Delicious!" McKayla exclaimed

"My own invention. I'm still talking to my boss to put on the menu here" the man said with a smile

She smiled back and took another sip.

"So, what brought a pretty American like yourself to Germany?" he randomly asked, leaning on the counter

"School" she said softly

"Is that all? Not to be rude, but I've seen you on streets no one should be one when I would get off work. It's more then just school" the man said

McKayla gave him this look and sat her drink on the counter.

"Well, at first it was school. Became a lot more after my first semester. I was still getting over a breakup and was and still kind of in a dark place." McKayla said truthfully

The man gave her this sympathetic look.

"I'm sorry to hear that" he said softly

McKayla just nodded as memories flooded her mind. A tear slid down her cheek and the man wiped it off

"I get off at 7. How about I take you out for a bite?" He asked with a smile

McKayla looked at him and smiled

"I would like that" she replied
"Great! Meet me here at 7 and I'll take you to a restaurant that has the best food in my opinion" the man said happily

McKayla nodded still smiling

"Oh. The name is Brock, by the way" he said holding his hand out

"McKayla" she said taking his hand

He kissed the top of her hand, making her blush.

"Lovely name. I'll be looking forward to tonight" he said letting her hand go

McKayla nodded in agreement. She left the café and went back to her dorm trying to find something to wear for tonight.

*Few hours later*

McKayla walked back to the café and saw Brock cleaning up. She slightly tapped on the glass, making Brock look up. He smiled and waved. He quickly finished and talked to another man before finally walking out.

"Ready my lady?" he asked holding out his arm

McKayla nodded and wrapped her arms around his as they walked to his favorite restaurant.
"zwei? (Two?)" asked the waitress

"ja (yes)" Brock said

The waitress nodded taking them to their seats. Once seated, a waiter came up to them

"Darf ich Sie beginnen mit Getränken aus? (May I start you off with something to drink?)" the waiter asked

"Ihre beste Wein (Your beat wine)" answered Brock

He nodded and walked away

"So, tell me. What exactly happened between you and your ex and why it relates to why your here?" Brock bluntly asked

McKayla gulped and twiddle her thumbs thinking about what happened

"Well, it's a long story, but this is what happened..." she said softly
