The meeting

You find yourself sitting in a coffee shop one sunny afternoon. The Cafe is a favorite of yours in this constantly moving town. Wooden tables, hardwood floor, forest green walls and a serene atmosphere make the perfect setting for a relaxing afternoon with a book. And to top it all, a steaming cup of chocolate Nescafé stands on the table in front of you. What more could a girl wish for?

You keep your eyes glued to the book in your hand, holding it close in what looks like deep concentration. Which it is, but you have another reason to keep it close. The book is favorite of yours, with it's unassuming title and wickedly passionate middle. And boy was it passionate. You feel a faint blush creeping on your face as you read about the, not so innocent, actions of the main characters.

Your concentration is broken by an amused voice whispering into your ear.

"My, my. Who would've thought that a person as pure and as innocent as you could be reading such dirty, dirty things."

You look up and see hypnotizingly deep blue eyes staring right back at you. You yelp and back away a bit, feeling like your face is on fire. This causes him to chuckle.

"Terribly sorry, I couldn't resist. I had to find out just how red can that pretty face of yours get."You take in the devilish smirk on his face, his short, slightly wavy, light brown hair and that mischievous spark in his eyes. Only one thought runs through your head. 'Damn, he's hot!'

"Em, uh... I'm s-sorry, could you repeat that?" You desperately hope he won't notice your stutter only to see his smirk widen.

"I said, that blush really suits you.You don't mind me sitting here, do you?" And and without waiting for the answer he sat at the other side of the table. He put his elbows onto the table and sat his his head onto his intertwined fingers.

"Uh, s-sure. Can I help you with something?" You asked shyly.

"Well you could tell me your name gorgeous." A wink accompanied his smirk this time.

Somehow you blush managed to get even brighter than before. You had a feeling it would stay there for a while. "It's Jennifer, Jennifer Midford."

"Tom Hiddleston, charmed. So, tell me Miss Midford, what is such a lovely lady like yourself doing in a place like this." He looks at you with hooded eyes and you find yourself unable to think. Why would a man, as drop-dead-gorgeous as him talk to you? 'Oh well, who cares, the hottie is mine now.'

You somehow manage to find the strength to speak. "Well, uh, I quite like the Cafe and they do make a hell of a chocolate Ness." You try to joke.

"Is that so? I'm gonna hold you by your word then. Waiter!" You sat there watching him order the very same drink you had in front of you. It makes you happy that he chose to buy that drink. Your blush fades a little as you watch him bring the cup up to his lips. 'Damn do they look fine.'


He slowly blows at the top of the cup as to cool it down a bit and takes a slow sip. His eyes close for a second or two. He opens them and looks right at you. "Delicious. So... Jennifer." He all but purrs your name. "How would you feel like about going on a date with me."

Remember that blush? It just came back, hard. "A d-date!?" You stutter. You can hardly believe your ears.

He chuckles a bit at your reaction. "Yes, a date. I would be honored if you would accept my offer. I promise I don't bite... a lot." The smirk is back as well.

You look away embarrassed. "I... Yeah, I'd, I'd love to." You smile and look back at him.

"Good. Though, you should drink your coffee before it gets cold." You look at the cup in surprise. You've completely forgotten it was there."Oh, um, yeah. I probably should."The two of you sat there drinking coffee. The book that started it all lies on the table forgotten.

You've reached the end of published parts.
