As i skipped down the steps to the underground platform four, i slummed myself on one of the metal chairs, wrapped my scarf around my neck, put my knees up to my chin and began to read my book.

"Nice choice" i heard a voice say.

I jumped, dropping the book on the floor in shock.  No one was EVER at this platform!

"Pardon?" i questioned.

I looked up.   The voice belonged to a boy.  Tall and dark haired.  Hair lying perfectly across his forehead and a cute birthmark on his cheek.

"The book, it's great" he explained, bending down to pick up my book from the floor.

"Th-thanks" i replied, shutting the book and staring up at him.

"Sorry i scared you, can i sit down?" he asked, nodding to the seat next to me.

"Sure" i answered as politely as i could.

This guy was soo hot! His voice was amazing and his teeth were perfectly shaped!

"You play guitar?" I asked as i noticed his guitar case.

"Oh, yeah, just a bit" he replied, looking and sounding embarrassed as he tried to hide it behind the seat.

"Could you play something for me?" i asked

WHAT? What was i thinking? I didn't even know this guy's name and i was asking him to play guitar for me? I was so stupid!

"Okay, i'm not very good though" he warned.

He pulled his guitar out of the case carefully.

I leaned forwards in my chair and watched as he arranged his fingers into their position.

I knew instantly what he was plaing.

When he got to the chorous, his fluent strumming hesitated a little.

"I wanna sing, i wanna shout" i sang slowly, to help him get back into the melody.

When he'd finished, i stopped singing, and smiled at him.

"You're really good" we said in unison.

He laughed and i blushed.

"Joseph".  He held out his hand and i shook it.

"Vicky" i replied.

"Your singing is AMAZING!" he told me, looking me in the eyes.

That was the first time he gave me butterflies.
