Hello, thank you for reading and please feel free to comment and vote!

I was sitting at the coffee shop, drinking a tea and reading a book.
"No coffee?", I heard someone ask. I looked up and couldn't help but stare. I think he's the most beautiful man I've ever seen. I thought to myself.
"Oh, umm...no, I don't like coffee."
"Really, why?" He asked. His voice was so angelic. His beautiful brown hair came over his forehead. His eyes were breathtakingly brown. I didn't want to be rude and stare, but I didn't even know it was that obvious in the first place.
"Are you ok?"
"What, yeah, I'm sorry. I was in deep thought about...something."
"Do you mind if I sit?" He asked.
"Of course not." I moved my bag off of the chair and into my lap, so he could sit.
"So, Do you live around here? I come here everyday and I've never seen you here." He asked. I took a deep breath, trying to control my internal emotions.
"Yeah, I just moved here a couple days ago."
"Really? Do you like it?" He asked.
"Yeah, for the most part, I guess."
"So...Into the nothing?" He looked at my book trying to read it sideways and from an angle.
"Oh yeah. I haven't finished it yet, but I recommend reading it."
"What's it about?" He asked, sounding intrigued.
"It's about a war hero, who saved his fellow soldiers, but I don't know how it ends."
"Good, then you can't spoil it for me." we both laughed. He looked at his watch.
"I'm sorry, I have to go. I never got your name." He stood up.
"Jessica." I smiled.
"It was very nice meeting you Jessica, I'm Jake." He held his hand out. We shook hands and he began to walk away. I stared at him until I couldn't see him anymore. I just laid my head down on the table with my face facing down. I continued to smile to myself.
I lifted my head up. Wow. I thought to myself. You don't get much more perfect than that. I knew i had to start going to the Café everyday in order to see him again. I finished my tea and threw it away. I grabbed my bag and my book and went nack home.
There were so many unanswered questions that I was dying to know the answers to. How was he? Where does he work? Does he have a girlfriend? I thought to myself. There's no way, somebody that beautiful and perfect couldn't have a girlfriend. I made myself a little upset just thinking about it.
I had a know. It's easy. All I have to do is go to the Café at the same time tomorrow. I couldn't wait, and this time, I was going to be prepared.
