Love at First...

Love at First Pizza

Ella Black was a 22 years old college student that was in love with pizza. Her best friend Daisy always made fun of her saying that she was going to get married to a pizzaiolo and have a pizzeria together. They would always laugh about it. It was their ongoing joke since they met each other.

For Ella's birthday, Daisy wanted to surprise her best friend with something that she loved with all her heart: a pizza making class. Since they moved to New York, Ella wanted to take a pizza making class but because of college she hadn't had the opportunity. Her best friend was about to change that.

"Happy birthday, El!" Daisy said while entering Ella's bedroom.

"Thank you!" Ella said. "I can't believe I'm 22 already."

"You're old my friend." Daisy said laughing. "Here's your present."

Ella took the envelope and opened it. Inside the envelope was a paper that read:
We are honored to present this certificate to: Ella Black. A gift valid for a pizza making class in Little Bella Pizzeria.

"Oh my God! I'm going to learn how to make pizza!" Ella screamed while she hugged Daisy. "Thank you so much."

"My pleasure." Daisy said grinning. "Get ready, the class is in an hour."

Ella went to her room and got ready. She was so excited about the class. This was the best gift anyone has ever given to her.

1 hour later

Ella and Daisy were in the pizzeria waiting for the pizzaiolo. Ella was talking with Daisy when the most handsome man Ella has ever seen interrupted them. She was intrigued by those mysterious blue eyes and dazzling smile. She wanted to know more about him and that was a fact.

"Good afternoon! My name is Emmett Clark and I'm your teacher for the day." He said with a big smile looking at everyone in the class. His eyes landed in the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen. Her dark brown eyes, ginger hair and blinding smile made her beautiful. He knew one thing for sure: he wanted to know her.

Daisy watched how her best friend and Emmett were looking at each other and she couldn't help to smile. It seems that her prediction was going to became true after all. She could see Ella looking at Emmett with a sparkle in her eyes. She was going to pair them one way or the other. It was her mission.

"Let's start." Emmett said. He started giving instructions and explaining everything step by step. "I need an assistant, any volunteers?"

"Yes, Ella would love to be your assistant." Daisy said pushing Ella towards Emmett.

Ella opened her eyes, she couldn't believe the audacity of her best friend. Daisy just smiled hoping that her best friend would find love at last.

"Hello, Ella." Emmett said extending his hand towards Ella. "I have the prettiest assistant ever."

"Thank you." Ella said blushing while shaking his hand. "I have the most handsome teacher." They couldn't stop smiling at each other.

1 hour later

The class ran smoothly with Ella and Emmett making a pepperoni pizza, her favorite. It was the end of the class, when Emmett said:

"Well, it was a pleasure being your teacher today. Don't forget to take pictures of your creations and tag me on them. It was a pleasure."

Everyone applauded and shaked Emmett's hand. Everyone left and the last people were Daisy and Ella.

"Thanks for being my assistant." Emmett said to Ella.

"You welcome." Said Ella smiling. "It was a pleasure being your assistant.

Daisy saw how they were looking at each other and knew she had to do something about it.

"Well, I'm going to the bathroom. I'll be right back Ella." Daisy said winking at Ella.

Emmett saw this as his opportunity to ask Ella out on a date. He knew they met just an hour ago, but he wanted to keep talking to her. On the other hand, Ella was hopping that Emmett would ask at least for her number. The hour she spent with him was amazing and she wanted to keep in touch with him. If he didn't asked for her number, she was going to do it.

"Ella." said Emmett smiling nervously. "I know we only met like an hour ago, but will you go on a date with me?"

"Yes, Emmett." Answered Ella smiling. "I would love to go on a date with you."

"Give me your number, so we can talk and decide what to do." Said Emmett taking out his phone.

"Of course." Said Ella with her phone in her hand. She couldn't believe it. This was the best birthday ever.

Emmett was happy he covered his best friend's shift today. He had found his bella ragazza and he couldn't let her go.

When Daisy came back she saw them exchanging phone numbers and she couldn't be happier. After all her prediction was coming true and Ella had found her pizzaiolo.

This class was in route to becoming Love at First Pizza.
