Chance Encounter

Chapter 3

Vanoss's POV

After watching her videos, I go to sleep, her beautiful voice filling my mind for what seems like forever before I finally drift off to sleep.

I wake up, and I'm next to her, in bed. I'm taken aback but at the same time, it feels so... Natural.

"Good morning Evan. Sleep well?" She asks.

"I slept next to you. So of course." I say as I kiss her cheek.

She starts to get up. "I'm going to make breakfast for everyone. Any ide-" and just like that, I hear a gunshot, and blood starts pouring out of her chest.

I run to her, catch her in my arms, and start to cry, telling her that it'll be okay.

She looks at me, puts her hand on my cheek, and says, "Wake up."

Just then, I bolt awake in my bed, and see that Delirious has his hands on my shoulders, I assume he was trying to shake me awake.

"Dude, are you okay?"

I shook my head no. Then I feel the tears start falling.

"Okay it's okay. Calm down. What was your dream? What was so bad that it made you cry?" Basically said, trying to calm me down.

I told them my dream.

"Oh shit. You really are in love with this girl, aren't you?" Wildcat says. I nod.

"Well, maybe you can't get her as being Vanoss," Mini says, rubbing his finger on his chin, "but maybe you could as Evan?"

Everyone just kind of goes silent. We look at each other, waiting for someone else to comment.

"I mean, it's not a totally bad idea. It's got some potential." Nogla says.

"Why don't you try that? And we can set up ground rules for when you're on a date or something tomorrow before you ask her." Wildcat jumps in.

"Woah guys, I haven't even said I was gonna ask her out yet." I say.

"Hah LOL we know you totally are." Mini says with a sassy girl voice.

"Look, we'll talk more about it in the morning." I say as everyone exits my room. But one stays.

"I've never seen you like this." Delirious says. He's been there from the beginning: from kindergarten all the way through high school and college, and now.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, I thought you fell hard for that Georgina girl back in grade school..."

"And..?"

".. And this is ten times worse."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"I think it means that you may have found the right one. No one has better instincts than you"

"Thanks Delirious."

He nods. "Now get some sleep. We've got a lot to discuss in the morning." I see his grin through his mask.

"I hate you." And with that, he leaves.

Time Skip

It's been a few weeks of me entering the store and talking to Sophia. Some days one of the guys would accompany me, others it was just me. Today is the day I'm finally going to ask her on a date.

I enter the clothing store and see her. As soon as she sees me, she gives me the brightest smile.

"Evan! Hey!" She says as she's hanging up some clothes.

I go over to her. We began talking about how our days have been and so on. Right before I leave though..

"Hey Sophia?" She looks at me. "How you like to go to dinner sometime?"

Sophia's POV

"I'm sorry?" I ask, confused. I never thought that this sweet, beautiful guy is saying this.

"Would you like to go out to dinner sometime?"

I smile. "I would love to. How about tomorrow after I get off work?"

He smiles in return. "Perfect. I'll pick you up. What time do you get off?"

I tell him when I'm off and he leaves the store. I can't help but be happy for the rest of the day.
