Why him?!

Do you want me to leave?

The weather is getting colder and Kyle had a talk with me last night about everything.

He told me he was scared.

I told him he had nothing to worry about and that I'll try to calm down.

This morning, I got up early and decided to take a walk. I put on some sweats, shocker.

I grab a jacket and put on my white converse.

I'm heading to the little town that's 20 mins away-on foot. One day when I was exploring this area, I found it and told myself I'd come back.

I grab my green/black beanie and keys, then finally go on my walk.

As I'm walking, I take in the scenery. Everything is so calming. The colorful leaves, the sun rising. Everything is so beautiful.

-------------------------------

Once I'm to the town, I head to a small coffee shop I see on the street corner. I have no idea what I want to do, I just needed to clear my head and get away from everything.

I order some hot chocolate and take a seat facing the window.

Almost everyone here is doing work or hanging out with friends. And by "everyone", I mean like the seven people that are here.

The bell dings above the door and I look over to see who walks in.

It's a guy who looks to be around my age or a little older. He's wearing a suit and a long tan coat. What are those called?

Trench-coats? Or is that just in action/mystery movies?

He orders a black coffee and sits down two seats away from me.

I look around the coffee shop and wonder why, out of all the seats here, he had to sit next to me.

I realize that I'm kind of staring at this guy and turn back to face the window, sipping my hot chocolate.

I get a text from Kyle:

Hey! Have fun today. I'll be out with some friends so just txt me when u get home. ❤️

I smile and respond:

Lol okay. Thanks! And you have fun too!

I glance back over at the guy and he has his laptop open. He seems to be doing work. I try to get a glance at what he's doing and he moves his body slightly and I jump and almost fall off the stool.

"Are you okay?" He turns to ask me.

BRITISH ACCENT!!!

This dude has a British accent!!

"Oh um, I'm fine. Thanks" I straighten myself in my stool.

He nods at me and goes back to working. I sigh and turn back to face the window.

Since it's early in the morning, there's not really much action going on. I wish I knew this town better. It looks really cute and I bet I could find a "secret spot".

Maybe I should ask this guy if he's from around here?

Of course not Joseph! He has a British accent.

"E-excuse me?" I turn to face the guy.

Why am I asking? I just told myself he probably wasn't from around here.

He turns to face me.

"Are you from around here?" I ask.

"Oh, yeah. I just live a few streets down." He answers.
