I watched out the window of the coffee shop. It was raining, not too heavily. A mother passed the shop window, glancing at me as she walked with her small daughter, rushing and attempting to escape the rain. I watched people drive by. One car, two cars, three. Then there was a cab. It pulled up right to the curb and released a tall man in black jeans and a grey sweater. Before I had time to examine his face my name was called from the front.

"Athena! Your order is ready! Athena!"

I fixed myself and hoped down from the stool I once sat in and grabbed my wallet, skipping to the front and smiling at the older women as I got to the counter. "Thank you." I said as she smiled back and I grabbed my coffee before turning around to head out.

I looked up as I made my way to the door and saw the man I once saw before step in. I saw his face now. He was handsome. He had nice brunette curls that now slightly wet, hung to his shoulder and these piercing green eyes. He had a sharp jawline and soft pink lips. He must had caught me staring for he looked back at me and glanced me up and down once before smirking slightly at me. "Good afternoon." He said lowly but clear enough as I nodded once and passed him, blushing.

I hurried out and glanced back around to find him following behind. Confused, I stepped aside and watched him step out and glance around for me. He then caught my eye and half smiled.

"Can I help you?" I asked shyly.

"Well I did say good afternoon to you miss." He responded.

I couldn't understand what he was getting at. "Yes..you did. And?"

He chuckled lightly and cocked one of his eyebrows up. "Aren't ya gonna say it back?"

I watched him oddly. Was he serious? I stood, probably face red and swallowed.

"I-My apologies. Good Afternoon to you too sir. Sorry."

He now grinned. "There ya go!" He said brightly. He then looked down at my coffee. "Just a coffee, huh? Cmon, let me treat you to a pastry. They are quiet delicious here."

I felt uncomfortable, but how could I turn him down? For some reason I couldn't. I nodded once and followed him as he lead us into the shop once again. He picked a small table in the back and pulled out a chair. "Sit." He said before I did such and placed my things down. "I am going to grab us something and I'll be right back." He winked before turning around and making his way to the front of the shop. I watched him carefully. His steps were swift and light. He was almost angelic. I took a deep breath and checked the time on my phone. 3:45. I locked my phone and sighed soft, tapping my fingertips on the table. I wonder what he wants. What if he was a creep? He was a handsome creep though, that's for sure. I thought about his beautiful face, staring out into space for a moment before being startled by a deep voice.

"I hope you like cupcakes." He grinned at me as he placed two white plates down and sat.

"Of course." I smiled and nodded. "Thank you...uh..pardon. I never caught your name.." I blushed embaressrd.

"Harry. Harry Styles." He smiled wide. "Yours?"

"Athena. Athena Jackson." I mimicked him chuckling as he did the same.

"Beautiful name for a beautiful girl, huh?" He half smirked.

God that was sexy.

"So quick to compliment me Mr.Styles." I smirked slightly myself, taking a sip of my coffee, then grabbing one of the beautifully decorated red velvet cupcakes from a plate.

"You deserve it." He grinned widely now, biting on his bottom lip. What a turn on.

I was about to respond before I felt a vibration on the table. I picked up my phone and sighed. "Excuse me, sorry. " I said to Harry before responding.

"Hello?"

"ATHENA! Where are you?! Something happened at my office and I need you to watch little Lisa for me. Please-I need you." My sister pleaded through the other end.

I sighed heavily before responding. "I'll be there as soon as I can. Bye." I quickly hung up and looked up at the concerned stranger.

"I have to go. I am so sorry." I quickly stood up and grabbed my things frustrated before feelings a hand grab my forearm.

"And you aren't gonna give me your number?" He smiled sweetly and I blushed, searching my purse for a pen before grabbing his hand and scribbling my number down.

"I hope you dont have sweaty palms." I chuckled. "Im sorry. Thank you for everything Harry. It was nice to meet you." I smiled sweetly but fidgeted nervously in a rush.

"Of course. Ill call you soon. Maybe for dinner." He chuckled soft and nodded. "Now hurry. I shouldn't keep you."

Oh how I wish he would.

I nodded and waved goodbye before heading quickly out and rushing after a cab, jumping in and giving the cab my sister's address.
