Chapter 1

I woke up early wondering where the day would take me. I got out of bed, took a shower, and put my work clothes on. I made my way downstairs and had French toast, my favorite!! After eating I glanced at the clock.

'Shit! 8:30 already! I'm gonna be late!' I thought to myself while running out of my apartment door.

I drove as quickly as I possibly could. I saw Starbucks right ahead of me. I parked and ran inside.

"Alex why the hell are you 15 minutes late?! We needed help all morning!!" I heard my boss screaming behind me.

I turned around and faced her. "I'm sorry Janet. I just wasn't paying attention to the time. I promise it won't happen again."

"Damn right it better not. Now get to work! You have behind the counter." She yelled.

I walked behind the counter and began my shift. I hated working there. It's the same thing over and over again. All I wanted to do was sing, but I couldn't because I had no money and no chance of ever making it somewhere. So I had to get this job.

The day flew by and it was 1:41 already. My shift ended in 20 minutes. Thank the Lord!! I heard the bell ring and a man stepped forward to order something.

"Umm.. hi can I get 5 coffees, black?" He asked.

'Is this really who I think it is? No it can't be! No way! I must be dreaming!!' I thought to myself. '

"Hello? Still there?" He waved his hand in front of me.

"Um, yeah, sorry just a long day. And your order will be right up." I paused then began talking again. "Are you Dan Smith, the singer from Bastille?"

"Yeah, I am. I just stopped in here because the mates wanted some bloody coffee. In the middle of a practice session!" He said.

"Oh.... Well that's not a problem." I said to him while him the coffee. I guessed I was so distracted by his gorgeous blue eyes that I spilled the hot coffee on him!

"Jesus!! That's freaking hot!! Ouch!" He screamed.

"I'm so sorry!! Here let me help!" I began to dab his coffee drenched shirt with a bunch of napkins. "I'm sorry. This isn't doing much for you. I'm such a screw up."

"Hey don't worry about it. It's just extremely hot coffee that was poured on me. It's fine, really." He looked at me and smiled. He tasted a bit of coffee that was left on his hand. "I don't think you're a screw up. This coffee taste pretty damn good!!" Him and I both laughed.

"Thanks." I made him 5 new coffees and handed them to him making sure not to spill them. He paid and then spoke.

"Thanks for the coffee. Uhh... Have a nice day." He blushed and left the store.

I couldn't help but laugh to myself because of how stupid I must have looked. He was an amazing man that just ran into the biggest failure in life. Well at least my shift was over.

I grabbed my bag and put my coat on. I said goodbye to Lori the other girl on duty and made my way out of the store. I took my headphones out and beginning to listen to music when all of a sudden I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned and began to shout.

"Get the hell off of me!" But then I stopped when I saw it was the man I just met, Dan. "Oh my gosh, don't ever scare me like that. I would've punched you right in the face."

"I'm sorry. It's just I really wanted to talk to you again." He spoke quietly.

I blushed. "Ok, so what do you want to talk about?" I asked.

"Well.... I couldn't help notice how beautiful you were and I wanted to umm..." He paused for a moment and took a breath. "I would like to know if you would want to hang out with me?"

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Are my ears deceiving me. No way a handsome, charming and perfect man like Dan would ever ask me out!!

"Um yeah I guess I could." I smiled. "Here I'll give you my number. I've got to run."

"Ok, great!! So is Friday good?" He asked

"Friday is perfect!!" I replied.

"Great, Friday at 8. I'll pick you up then. Can't wait!" He smiled at me and left.

There is no way this could possibly be happening, to ME! I'm just a nobody girl and I'm going out with Dan Smith on Friday. This has to be a dream. I must be dreaming.

*But no... Alex was not dreaming, everything was REAL. She didn't know it yet but this would change her life forever.*
