1 YEAR AGO

You hum to yourself, holding a shopping basket on one arm. Peering around the aisle, you search for the one item you needed and when you look higher up, you see the bottle of jalapeños that was just a little bit out of your reach.

Sighing in contempt, you place your basket on the floor and tiptoe to reach the damn jar but it just barely grazed your fingertips and now you scowl.

A piece of hair falls onto your face and you frustratedly blow it away, cursing the fact that the shelves were so friggen high.

You make one more attempt to grab it but you slip and start falling backwards. "Oh shi-" you think in panic and shut your eyes. Tensing, you brace yourself for the hard unforgiving floor.

The things you did for fucking jalapeños.

Except, after a couple of seconds of waiting, you didn't feel the cold floor on your body so you open one eye confusedly.

You were leaning back on the warm sturdy chest of a stranger who had just made sure you didn't make a fool of yourself in public and your eyes widen in embarrassment when you realize that your hands were directly on his...abs? With a croak of horror, you scramble out of his grasps, too flustered to actually face him.

"Ugh...did I really just...just...fall into the arms of a man?..." you think with a groan but snap out of your thoughts when you feel something press against your cheeks.

It was the jar of jalapeños.

You choke on your words and hear a deep hearty chuckle at your reaction from behind you and nervously, you turn around, only to be face to face with a man that looked like gods gift to you mere mortals.

Your jaw drops.

You definitely weren't expecting that.

It couldn't be helped, but your eyes fall straight onto his tall and muscular figure that was slightly hidden beneath his loose shirt. His thighs however were a different story and you gulped nervously at the tight pants that left little to your imagination.

You sent a silent prayer of thanks to the man who invented skinny jeans.

Your eye shoots up to his face, remembering that you still had a little bit of decency left in you to not continue staring at him like a lion desperate for meat.

His eyes were covered by round glasses but his lips held a grin. "Holy...he has the cutest lips..." you think distractedly before blushing at what you just thought.

When he fully sees your face however his smile drops and he looks at you as if he had seen a ghost. You see him whisper something to himself and that definitely piqued your curiousity, making you frown slightly.

But you were raised with manners and so you clear your throat and thank him for helping you out. "Uh...I'm also sorry about my clumsiness...I have this love-hate relationship with hard floors and they don't seem to want to let me go..." you lamely joke, and he snaps out of his reverie, laughing lightly at your words. Your stomach flutters uncomfortably at the musical sound.

He smiles softly. "No it's all good...so jalapeños huh?" He asks teasingly and if it was possible, you felt your face getting even warmer.

"Haha...y-yeah just a little something I needed you know?" You stutter, not really knowing what point you were trying to make.

He eyes you carefully and offers you his hand "...Well if you're ever free or anything, I know this amazing snack that you could make with them" he offers and you feel your smile build up.
