Twisted lies

chapter 8: someone new

I think i may have stared in his eyes abit too long but i couldn't help it.
After what seemed like forever i spoke up
'n-no it was my fault i'm sorry' i stuttered.
I started to walk away but he replied
'Um i don't want this too sound weird but do you maybe want to drink some coffee with me, after all i think it's only right i make it up to you from bumping into you.'
i was completely shocked, this gorgeous stranger is wanting to drink coffee with me? I looked back at my friends and they were all grinning as if there mouths had been stretched out by a hanger. They were all giving me thumbs up as a signal that it was fine for me to leave them. I noticed he also had an american accent which i was instantly attracted by. I gave them a smile with a look in my eyes which was nervous but also excited.
'yeah sure i'd like that' i replied smiling

We went to go order and he asked me what i'd like.
'Can i get a iced caramel latte please.'
When the cashier said the price i started to get my money out and the handsome man replied
'No it's fine i got it'
I was shocked i don't even know him but he's buying me a coffee, i didn't realise such nice people existed.                                                          

We went and sat down in a corner of the shop.    
'So i know this might seem strange a random person asking you to drink coffee with them.' he said
'you know that thought did come across my mind, no but i'm glad you did.' I said laughing
'I don't usually do stuff like this but there was just something about you when i looked at you i just felt intrigued, god i sound more like a weirdo now don't i.' He answered.                           
'No you don't actually, too be honest i felt the exact same way.' I replied. His eyes brightened in relief.      'Okay well that makes me feel a lot better. I just realised i haven't even told you my name, Hi i'm Pheonix.' He smiled and held out his hand.
I shook it as i looked into his eyes. Pheonix so that was what this mysterious boys name was. I liked it, it seemed to suit him well.
'Hi pheonix i'm y/n.'
We shook hands, even when touching his hands i felt a connection i have no clue what's happening but it already feels as if i've met him, we just clicked instantly.

For the rest of the night we talked until the coffee shops closing time, we walked around outside and found a park. We sat on the swings and talked some more.

'Okay so you're telling me when you were younger you used to have a fear of men with beards.' He said hysterically laughing 'Yes i did i don't know why they just scared the shit out of me, don't judge me okay.' I laughed with him.

It all felt so easy our conversations just flowed i could sit and speak with him forever.

Pheonix' pov

I really need to get coffee i've been working my ass of the whole day.
Yeah I love working for vogue because i get to travel around the world and experience such unique things but it really is a lot of work, the constant need of having to have inspiration all the time, handing in everything on time. i loved my job but the stress does get to me a lot. I miss new york a lot aswell, being without my family and friends i get lonely a lot, apart from some people i'm close with in the office i'm by myself.

I finally finished work and practically ran to the coffee shop i needed as much energy as i could get.
I walked into my usual coffee place and looked away for a moment but suddenly
'Ouch.' A girl bumped into me as i walking
'Sorry I wasn't looking where I was going.' I replied, I didn't pay much attention too it.
I looked up to see her and oh my god. I've never seen such big, trancing, captivating eyes.

She was beautiful I felt myself getting flustered as i looked into her eyes. Why am i getting like this i don't even know her. It felt as if electricity ran through me, i felt an instant connection it's such a weird feeling. I stared into her eyes for ages but i didn't want to stop. We stood there staring at eachother for what felt like eternity but then she replied
'n-no it was my fault i'm sorry'
She started to leave, i couldn't let her walk off i don't know what it is but i needed to speak to her.
'Um i don't want this too sound weird but do you maybe want to drink some coffee with me, after all i think it's only right i make it up to you.' I asked her praying in my head that she would say yes.
'yeah sure i'd like that' she replied smiling.
I felt all the butterflies in my stomach squirming as  i smiled back at her. We went to go order and i payed for her drink and sat down to go to talk. I told her my name and stuck my hand out, she shook it back and introduced herself. When she shook my hand i felt something in me a feeling i couldn't describe but it was as if when we touched or looked at eachother we were connected as crazy as it sounds, i mean i've only known her for a night and i'm thinking deep into everything but i just felt something and i don't know what it was. Y/n is her name, it's such a beautiful name it added to everything else that was beautiful about her.
Sitting with her the whole night talking to her i felt as if i could be myself which i didn't get with most people. Back home i had few friends, I didn't get on with most people the reason being i just never clicked with anyone.

After the coffee shop had closed we found a park and sat on the swings and continued talking and laughing.

I don't know you properly yet y/n but i already know you're someone special to me.
