Do I Know You?

Amelia's P.O.V

It's Thursday night. Jan and I still haven't talked but Evan and I have. I finished up some homework and sighed.

What now?

"Amelia!" My mother called from the kitchen. "Get down here!"

I hurried down the stairs into the kitchen.

"What now?"

"We're missing things we need around the house. Could you stop by the store and pick up a few things? There's a list on the counter." She untied her apron and placed it on the counter top.

"Sure." I shrugged walking towards the closet and slipping on a light jacket.

Lucas's P.O.V

"Alright. I'll be back then." I slipped on a light jacket. I recall where the local grocery store is, because we needed a few things around the house.

I opened the front door and felt the cool outside air.

Amelia's P.O.V

I opened the door to the grocery store. I roamed around finding the few things on the list. I searched through store looking for toothpaste which was the last thing on the list.

Finally, I picked up a small tube of toothpaste, but, eventually dropped it on the floor being the cluts I always am.

As I bent over to pick up the paste, a small voice behind me spoke.

"Excuse me." The voice spoke from behind me. I stood up straight looking back. I scooted to the left, getting out of his way.

"I- I'm.." I was speechless. I faced tall, muscular, perfectly built boy. He smiled, revealing perfectly straight teeth.

"Now that I've got someone's attention, do you know where I could find any toothpaste?" His heavy accent was noticeable, he spoke slowly and pronounced his words perfectly.

"I...uh-" I somewhat pointed to the section they were in.

I could't speak. Someone so perfect focusing his attention on you is a bit overwhelming.

"Thank you." He grabbed a tube.

"Your welcome." I managed to say.

"Hey, do I know you?" He asked. "You look quite familiar."

His deep blue eyes met mine.
