(Taylor's POV):
"Mom! What time is it?" Taylor yelled down stairs.
"Nearly nine-thirty hon. Got somewhere to be?" her mother yelled back.
Taylor sighed. "Yes. I'm meeting Ed Sheeran for coffee. I want to do a collab with him for my new album."
"Oh, thats great, sweetie. What time is it?"
"Uh.....nine-thirty? I just asked you!" Taylor said, half thinking about her mother's question. Hearing her answer followed by her mother sighing heavily, she corrected herself with a giggle. "Oh sorry. Our meeting is at ten. At the coffee shop on fifth and thirteenth. 'Sweet Beans.' Its a good coffee shop."
"You may want to get a caffeinated one, sweetie. You seem a little slow today." her mother said, as Taylor rushed down the stairs carrying a shoe. "And perhaps, you would like to wear both shoes?" Taylor glanced down and groaned, as she dropped the one shoe and ran back upstairs.
"I'm running late, Mom!"

(Ed's POV)
Ed glanced down at his watch. Nine-fifty five. He sat in the quaint coffee shop, 'Sweet Beans.' /What an odd name these Americans come up with,/ he thought. He heard the door open loudly, and turned his head to see Taylor rush in.
Heads turned to see Taylor, but not as many as you may think. Her eyes searched the shop and landed on Ed, and an emotion he couldn't read filled her eyes. Dread? Fear?
Taylor paid and walked over to him, and the look in her eyes softened. "Hi Ed. Its great to finally meet you. I'm a big fan of your music." /Taylor Swift is a big fan of my music?/ he thought with awe. "Oh thank you! I love your music a whole lot as well!" he said, trying to sound enthusiastic, but ending up sounding more awkward.
"Thank you," she said, sounding genuinely thankful, "and thank you for meeting me here. I have a proposition for you." Taylor said, eyes glittering. "Would you like to do a duet with me, for my next album?"
