Pam works in a coffee shop every night, she loves it. Brooklyn downtown is beautiful at night, specially if it's raining. She's quiet, she appreciates music like nobody else does. Spiritually minded. She enjoys being alone and quiet places. Not very...
Back in my apartment. I had one hour and a half left before George came pick me up so we could go to the party.
What should I wear? You know, probably I'm not going to know anybody at the party but this has always been a problem. I should go casual, and it's probably raining later so I should bring a jacket with me. I chose this.

Soon, I heard the doorbell. I ran to the door and took a look through the peephole. George. It was early though. I'm glad I was ready.
-Coming!- I yelled and went to grab the house keys. I fixed up my hair a bit in front of the hall mirror and then ran to the door and opened it. I opened the door to see George looking at the ceiling with his hands in his pockets. He had different clothes than those he was wearing earlier at the park. With a knitted sweater and a black jacket now, he looked cool.
-Are you gonna let me in?- he asked squinting his eyes and smiling at the end of the question. I must've been looking at him for a while now. –Oh yes, sorry. Ummm, I.. thought you were going to arrive later, it's just 9:37 now. – I said looking at the watch on my wrist without actually looking at the hour and letting him in. –Yeah, about that.. I'm terrible at finding addresses so I came earlier. But I guess I found it faster than I thought I would, and here I am. – he said talking faster every word. I closed the door and offered him to take a sit on the sofa in the living room. I put some music from Chloe's album in the home theatre and told him I would be back. I went into my room and sprayed a little bit of perfume on my neck and wrists. And all over my clothes, who am I kidding. I finished my makeup with some light pink lipstick and blush and I went back to the living room where George was. He probably was on his phone pretending to do something. He was actually tweeting something I didn't know about. -I'm back. Do you want some water or something?- I asked while I walked into the kitchen. -I'm okay, thanks. – he replied almost instantly. –I didn't know you liked that type of music though. It's just the music I listen to everyday.- he said smiling. His eyes closed a bit when he smiled, such a cute gesture. –Do you know the album?- I asked him expecting a positive answer. –Yes! A great one indeed. –he answered and chuckled at the end. I sat next to him on the sofa very excited because finally I wasn't the only person on earth who knew Chloe's music. –Oh my gawd, finally! I thought I was the only one here in Brooklyn who knew that album, damn. – I said excited. He looked at me right in the eye and smiled. –My friends listen to that kind of music too, those who you're going to meet tonight, actually. – he said. –We could make a club maybe.- I said joking. He chuckled and then suddenly everything went quiet, we could only hear the music on a low ambient volume. He closed his eyes softly and started humming and then singing quietly.
