COMPULSIVE

Chapter 1

Waiting in line at a coffee shop five minutes before I was supposed to be at work, was the last thing that I imagined myself doing this morning. Here I am switching it up for once, with no apparent reason. Personally I don't accommodate well with change. I need a fixed schedule of all the activities that I will be doing in chronological order. It's either a list that I mentally prepare in my head or a hard copy. I don't know why, I've just always felt the need to have something to rely on, though things don't always go as planned. That's when I adjust to stuff, I can easily adjust to my surroundings, though I do mind it, but you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes. So for me to change my entire morning schedule by adding a stop to a random coffee shop; it's considered quite big deal for me. Hella dramatic huh?

I patiently wait in line and when it's finally my turn I don't know what to order. Damn it, I always do this. I'll look at the order choices then debate on two of them, then I get anxious because it's almost time for me to order, by then, it's my turn and I still don't know what to order. I try not to fidget with my words as the cashier ask what I want, so I quickly tell him that I want a grande caramel frappe, extra sweet. As my beverage is being made, I check my phone and realize that I'm already five minutes late to work and I still have to get there, so that's more minutes added. I pay for my drink then I try to hurry and get my change back into my wallet, so the person behind me can order. Being impatient with myself, I grab my drink and start to walk while continuing to put my change into my wallet. This is why I should use a credit card. Before I could succeed my phone begins to ring. Of course. In the midst of me trying to multi task while not paying attention, I bump into a person in line, knocking my change, phone, and drink out of my hands. I gasp as I watch it all quickly spill onto the floor.

"Shit, I am so sorry, I totally should've been watching where I was going, I'm really sorry" I say as I scramble trying to pick up my belongings.

The person I bumped into also joined in helping me.

"It's okay, things happen" he says

I notice his thick accent and kind tone which makes me feel super relieved. If it had been me, I'd be pissed if someone bumped into me because they weren't watching where they were going.

"Yeah again I'm really sorry. I guess it was a total mistake getting coffee this morning, this is what I get for trying something new" I nervously laugh still looking down, afraid that he might be angry that I bumped into him.

"No worries, it's all good. Would you like me to get you another coffee? I haven't ordered yet"

We're still on the ground trying to clean up my change and wipe down the spilled coffee with the napkins that was passed to us.

" No, I couldn't possibly let you do that, it's totally fine, but thank you so much."

"Alright." He says as we both stand

I gasp as I finally get a glance at the person I've been talking to.

"Hi I'm Harry" he says and reaches out to shake my hand

I was dumbfounded.

"Omg you're Harry Styles" I say in a whisper as I shake his hand

"Yes I am, nice to meet you.."

He was waiting for my name, but I was too busy staring at him. I finally snapped out of it.

"Oh uh yyea yes, I'm Sabrina, nice to meet you too. I'm so sorry, it's just that I'm a huge fan."

"Ahh! Great! Understandable. Well maybe we could get together and grab a coffee that isn't on the floor sometime, Sabrina." He chuckled

Ha very funny.

"Oh my god yeah that'd be great! My treat since I bumped into you." I say

"Okay then." he laughs "Would you mind giving me your number so I could contact you and we can set up a date?" He says as he whips out his phone.

"Uh yes of course."

I give him my number and then I realize the time.

"Oh my god I really must be going, I'm already late for work, but it was really nice meeting you Harry"

" Of course, you too. I'll be in touch." He says as I wave to him out the door.

What the actual fuck! Bitch you just met Harry freaking Styles and you're going to have coffee with him! Simmer down. Simmer down bitch. I think as I stride to work which is just around the block.

What am I thinking, he's a busy man he will probably forget about this in 30 minuets. I'm a busy women, how could I ever get away from my business especially since it's still in the early stages of being established.

No, no, no. I know how this works. I have to put my responsibilities first. I can't just jeopardize what I've worked so hard for right now, even if it is for Harry Styles.

I'm practically already behind on what I was supposed to do at work today, since I'm twenty minutes late. It wouldn't make sense if I were late for no reason though, since I didn't get my coffee, but I did meet my idol who wants to go out for coffee. So just accept his offer and do it, so there will be a reason. I need to stop overthinking and just hope for the best.

Would this be the best?

Of course not.
