Distance // Ashton Irwin

3. Lucky

Sunday went by fairly quick and before I knew it, it was Monday morning and it was time to get up and get ready work.

It was a rather overcast day, and by the time I had finished getting ready and made my way to the car it had started to pour down with rain.

Lucky for me I had an umbrella in the back of my car.

I was alot more organised this morning than I had been on Friday. I had woken up an hour earlier so I could grab myself that cup of coffee I had promised myself I would get before work. 'I wonder if Lilly's here this early?' I thought to myself.

I climbed out of my car after finding a park and started walking towards the coffee shop, luckily for me the rain had stopped.

This time I had an hour before I had to be at work so I wasn't worried if there was a lineup.

I was carrying my umbrella in my left hand just incase it decided to rain again. The sky was darkish grey, and the sun was nowhere to be seen.

As I got closer to the coffee shop, I saw maybe one or two people walk out, so I had a feeling it wasn't that busy today.

As I walked over to the door, I could see a lineup of no more than 2 people. There were a few people inside sitting down at the tables but I paid no attention to them.

Lilly wasn't here, I could tell because she never liked to sit inside, she was that type of 'on the go' person and if she wasn't already standing in the line then it meant that she wasn't here.

After waiting for 5 minutes I was finally holding my freshly made cup of coffee that I had been craving since Friday. Since I had just under an hour to kill, I decided to order breakfast and sit down at one of the shops little tables while drinking coffee and eating pancakes.

As I scanned the shop for an empty table, I spotted someone with light brown curly hair, he was on the phone and had his back turned to me but for some reason I felt like I knew who he was.

"Yeah okay Luke, look I have to go bye." Said the curly headed boy as he hung up.
Wait a minute...nooo it can't be?

He turned his head around and I caught a glimpse of his face, it was Ashton Irwin.

He smiled at me and then waved at me to walk over to him.

"Goodmorning" he cheerfully spoke.

"Uh morning.." I sat down across from him. "It was busy the other morning wasn't it?" I stared at him with a puzzled look. "Excuse me?" He went silent for a few seconds. "You are the girl who bumped into me the other day right?" I nodded.
OMG IS THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENING? Thoughts raced through my head and it felt like my head was about to explode.

"Yes I am" I replied. "I was just surprised that you remembered who I was."

He smiled. "Do you come here often?" I asked.

He nodded.

"I used to come here a fair bit a few years ago, but whenever I'm back home I try my hardest to come here, it's always been my favourite place." He answered. I nodded in agreement. "Same here."

He giggled.

A lady in a black apron walked over to us and placed a plate of pancakes on the table. Ashton started to laugh. "Hungry?" He asked. I laughed with him."yeah just a little."

While eating my pancakes we continued to talk and when it was time to leave I got a photo with him and a follow on twitter.

I felt pretty lucky that I had ran into him not only once but twice.

I made my way to work with a big grin on my face but I knew that Id more than likely never see him again. I was just lucky and that's all there was to it right?
