As I start sipping on my hot coffee. .i watched as she fixed a stray hair by pulling it behind her ear, I smile at myself a bit wondering, if she was mine I will be more than happy to fix it for her. Then I get worried as her eyes wander the room I quickly look down looking up only slightly, she keeps looking as I see her smile beautifully, I look to see what it is that makes her smile so, then I see a baby girl laughing, giggling at her mother as she gets fed some of the sweet sugar off the top of a crumb cake, the mother is smiling brightly and her daughter, then I see for what I assume, the father walks up as he smiles at the both of them, he kisses my mother and says I love you. I look back to see her still smiling at the lovely family. This makes me think does she want a family of her own? Does she wish that she was that mother? If she was with me, I would give her that and much more. I smile harder just imagining it, her feeding our child as a come along just to admire them and tell them how much I love them,

I look down to my coffee taking a long draw from the cup tasting sweet caramel. I woke back up to see her looking at... Me? Oh No do I have coffee on my face? Did she notice me staring at her earlier, Oh God. Just as I'm about to have a heart attack I see her get up and walk over to where I was sitting. I start sweating and she touched my shoulder . I just simply look up at her ok DeAngelo ok

"y-yes" I say as if I don't have any sense " I'm sorry I just couldn't help but notice that you have a horizon button on your shirt" she said so smoothly I could almost die, I look down and see that the button is still there the blue horizon button from Green Bay book club. I forgot it was even there

" I didn't know you were into that book club I go like every day" she said with a smile . I smiled back " yeah I love it.  books you can just read them and there all free". That's when she smiled and sat down I swear I couldn't breathe "yes! Isn't that just the best. All these books I can keep up. I get at least 5 books at a time" at this this point i m smiling so hard my lips might fall off any minute. she's actually talking to me.

" girl, you know you need to start reading all those books" I say playfully in a little voice. She giggles as she looks at me "I'll try I'll try. I love reading" " I know I see you reading like everyday and you always have a new book I was wondering if you read all of them all day"  she nodded looking down " I mean yeah of course I do. Can't pass up a good book, actually I want to try writing a book of my own" she looked up slightly. I smiled at her. " that's a great idea I wish you the best of luck beautiful" she rose her head up looking at me " Thanks maybe you can... Help me?" I gulped hard "s-sure" I said stuttering like an ass.

"ok here" she reached into her pocket getting out a piece of paper writing down what seemed to be an address she giggled as I seen her put a heart on it I take it smiling in awe that this is still all happening. "here you can stop by tonight around 8 o'clock I'll cook just in case you're hungry" she gathers all her things as she gets up pushing in her chair. "I'll see you tonight" she said walking away "wait" I shout. "I didn't get your name"

"Lorelei, you?"

"DeAngelo"
