HEAL A DAMAGED ROSE

SUNRISE

 1 Year later-

Thoughts circulated in my head as I lay in bed contemplating if I rather sleep some more or head downtown to my favorite cafe.

Since I was taking a week vacation from work going out seemed like a lot of hard work, but my addiction for coffee won this round. 

I walked into my favorite coffee shop feeling a weird sensation of happiness come over me. Well that something you don't experience every day. The smell of a pine engulfed me making my mouth water. My heart began to race, as i fought the strong urge to moan at the delicious scent. What in the daylights is wrong with me.

"Hi miss may I take your order" Clearing my throat I ordered my caramel frap.

"Will that be all miss" .

 A deep husky voice answered for me.

"No, ill have a Espresso , with a dash of caramel please" he handed the barista his card softly reaching over me. I could feel his warmth radiating over me.

Gaining the courage to look at his face I slowly began to turn around.

My eyes opened wide and my mouth hung low in shock. Catching my reaction he smirked down at me. This man was straight out of a magazine. Tall and handsome!

 I'm drooling, no wait  I'm actually drooling!! I felt like a complete fool, quickly I closed my mouth and  lifted my hand to swipe the saliva going down the side of my mouth. Luckily he was to busy checking me out to notice.. I hope. When his eyes met mine that was it, my body tingled in ways I never thought possible, emotions swirl in the pits of his blue eyes. Even feeling the way I did I was guarded to guarded for my own good.

"Thank you for the drink. But i could have paid it myself"

He looked confused at first taken aback at my comment.  Can this man look any more perfect?

"I'm sure you could have gorgeous, but that wouldn't have given you an excuse to talk to me." Ohhhh this guy was smooth like butter. Did i mention i loved butter, ill take him on the side with some toast. 

"WOW, someone has there head up there ass huh." I couldn't help my sass I mean what do you expect hes more than use to getting his ass kissed . His eyes shined with amusement and his lips twitched, he was about to reply and the stupid barista had to ruin our moment.

"Caramel frap beautiful " I herd a small growl behind me, I quickly looked at the stranger confused. He had a scowl deeply engraved on his face with a far gone look in his eyes, while the barista was looking at him with a huge smile plastered on his face as if he challenging him to say something. I couldn't help but wonder what was going through his mind. I took that as my queue to leave the shop to take a nice warm bath.

Finally settling in my car, I took a sip of my drink and awoke my engine. I sat there for a couple of seconds looking at my phone for any new work emails.

As i was about to back out i noticed mister handsome standing right behind my car not moving. Is he fallowing me?

"As much as I wouldn't care to run you over. My baby just had his weekly wash, so if you'd do me the honors and move id appreciate it." I joked that should make him snap out of his trance and maybe be less awkward.

He laughed nervously for a second as he walked towards me

"Let me take you out sometime." I stared at him with pure shock. I admit I may seem confident but It's all a facade. I knew men like him were to handsome for someone like me. 

"Please let me take you out on a date" he repeated, I might have looked pretty stupid for him to have to repeat himself.

"And why would you want to do  that exactly?" I whispered more to myself then him

He Leaned in closer staring into my soul.

"Because I want to see you again, and I know you wouldn't mind seeing me again either" his eyes were challenging me to state other wise but i couldn't form a complete sentence.

 His gaze was to intense I began to feel anxious. I couldn't do it I began to feel the a panic attack growing inside of me. No matter how much I tried I couldn't, I couldn't give this gorgeous man my number.

 He sniffed the air around him and looked 

" Are you okay?" he seemed so genuinely  concerned, and yet all I could do was back up my car and drive away as fast as I could. I couldn't help but look at my review mirror to see his reaction. Oddly enough though he did not look surprised.
