I woke up and turned over to my alarm clock. I saw 8 am and I immediately jumped up. I WAS LATE! I was an hour late for work! I must have forgotten to set my alarm last night so I jumped out of bed, threw on some clothes and raced to work. I was so tired, I stayed up till 3 am writing my report for work. I was frightened of getting fired, so I ran up to my office and acted as if I have been there for ages, but my boss followed me in.
"Where were you Emily?" My boss quizzed me. I was too tired to make up a reasonable excuse.
"I woke up late, well forgot to set my alarm" I admitted. My boss starred me up and down.
"Well you won't have to worry about that for a while, YOU FIRED!" She shouted at me, pointing towards the door. I didn't bother to fight. In all honesty I was going to quit anyway, it was too demanding, long hours, I haven't seen my family in years. However my last relationship ended 4 years ago, because we hardly saw eachother. I am currently single and have no interest in dating. I ran out of the office and took a walk around New York, thinking about my next decision.I stumbled upon an old coffee shop and I thought I needed to be woken up, so I ordered myself a coffee. There was a cute guy behind me, but I tried not to look, as that would make it very obvious. Although he had beautiful green eyes. I ordered a coffee, and soon after the women at the counter got it for me. I paid for it and walked out of the coffee shop, and stood facing the left whilst taking a sip of my very hot coffee. I tried to work out where I was as I've never seen this part of town before. I spun round to face the right, until someone tipped there piping hot coffee all over me.
"Oww" I said in pain. I looked up to see the guy who was stood behind me in the coffee shop.
"I'm so so sorry! I honestly didn't mean to" the guy said. He pulled out a pack of tissues from his pocket and offered me one.
"That's not gonna stop it from staining is it?!" I shouted at him. I took a moment to calm myself down, and looked up at the guy. He had a face of sorrow, thinking how he could help. I took a deep breath and said.
"It's my fault. I should've been more careful. And I'm not having a great day any. Sorry for shouting at you" I apologised. I gave him a soft smile. He had a relieved look, and smiled at me.
"I'm Sal" he introduced himself. I smiled at him again.
"I'm Emily" I replied.
"Well hello Emily. Emily... that's a cute name" he said to me. I presumed he was attempting to make me feel better.
"I like your name too" I said back. He gave me a smile and lent out his hand. I was confused why, but I grabbed hold of it anyway. He led me to little brown bench, quite close to the coffee shop.
"Here, let me buy you a new coffee" he offered, as I dropped mine as soon as he bumped into me.
"No it's fine" I said to him. But he insisted and walked to the coffee shop. A few minutes later, he reappeared with a white box and two coffees. He placed the coffees on the ground, beneath the bench, then placed the white box in between us.
"What's this?" I asked.
Sal opened the lid to reveal multi-coloured treats.
"Macaroons" he said with a smile. He looked gorgeous. I've literally met him 5 minutes ago, and yet he's the most adorable man I've ever laid eyes on.
"Here let me guess your favourite one" I said to him. He smiled with a smirk and closed his eyes and opened out his hands. I picked up the green one and he opened his eyes.
"Yes!" He said in shock. "How did you know?" He asked, quite curious.
"Well I chose green, so it matched your eyes" I explained. He smiled.
"How did you know I had green eyes?" He asked.
"I just remembered! Now you guess mine!" I said. I closed my eyes like he did. But soon enough, I felt his soft lips attached to mine. He slowly pulled away as I opened my eyes.
"Sorry, I couldn't resist!" He explained with a wink.
