The First Meeting

"So I guess we should just start from when we first met" Darren suggested.

Flashback

Olivia has just gotten out of her early morning class. She was very tired and struggled to stay awake during that boring lecture. She decided it was best for her to go get coffee instead of going back to her dorm because she had class in a little over an hour.

Olivia made her way to the best coffee shop on campus. When she arrived she got in line behind a bushy haired man. He seemed like he was having a bad day because when he ordered his coffee he got mad when the barista said they didn't have the kind he wanted.

Darren was having a bad day. He found out his girlfriend was cheating on him that morning. He always knew she wasn't good for him. It was obvious she was cheating. He just didn't want to be alone. He always knew he was going to catch her one day so that is why he wasn't completely heartbroken. He saw it coming.

"What do you mean you don't have any caramel left your a fucking coffee shop and your specialty is your caramel macchiato" Darren snapped at the barista instantly feeling bad about his choice of words.

"Excuse me please don't snap at her, its not her fault." Blond haired girl from behind chimed in.

"I-I. I know I'm sorry. Ju- Just forget about it." Darren stuttered and left a twenty dollar bill on the counter.

Olivia felt bad for the man in front of her. She knew what it felt like to have a bad day. She quickly ordered her drink and a hot chocolate and raced outside to find the bushy haired man.

"E- excuse me" Olivia stuttered.

Darren was sat on the edge of the sidewalk with his knees pulled up to his chest. He looked up at the woman in front of him. He recognized her almost instantly. She was the girl from the coffee shop.

"Hi. Again I am so sorry for-" he started but got cut off but the woman in front of him.

"Hey look I get it. I can tell your sorta having a bad day we all get them." Olivia said sitting down next to the man.

"Here take this. I know it's not your caramel macchiato but it's something" Olivia said handing him the hot chocolate.

"Why- why are you doing this. I was just the biggest ass out of all the asses back there and your being nice to me" Darren said taking the hot chocolate.

"Because I've been there." Olivia started.

"So you have yelled at a barista for no reason before too" Darren joked.

"I mean not exactly" Olivia laughed.

"Now I don't know what is going on in your life right now and I'm not sure that I want to know... but it's okay. You apologized. That's all you can do now." Olivia explained

"Darren" Darren said after a couple moments of silence.

"Pardon?" Olivia asked confused.

"I'm Darren, Darren Criss" he said and then held out his hand for her to shake

"I'm Olivia, Olivia Bailey" she said mocking him.

Flashback over

"And I thought she was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen so I decide to shoot my shot and ask for her phone number" Darren smiled.

Hearing Darren call her beautiful made Olivia go crazy. She knows it shouldn't but it gave her those damn butterflies again. The feeling she would always get around him. Even after dating all those years.

"And of course I thought why not make this guys day a bit brighter and give him my number. Now I'm not going to lie to you guys. I was a bit hesitant a) because was a stranger and b) because he didn't seem to be to nice. But I gave it to him anyways." Olivia rambled on.

"Do you ever regret giving me your number" Darren asked hesitantly.

"Honestly. No. Because if I didn't. I wouldn't have meet all the cool people I have and I probably wouldn't have the career I have now." Olivia said honestly.

"You know I still feel really bad about the barista" Darren said making the conversation a little more light hearted, however Olivia didn't like that.

"Darren this is not the time to be making jokes. I just want to get this over with. Can't you see this is hard enough as it is" Olivia whispered quiet enough to where the camera couldn't hear her.

"Ok well let's just move on" Darren said cold halfheartedly.
