Victoria's POV

I grabbed a tray of drinks and passed them out to various men in the tavern. 

"Victoria! Come over here and we can have some fun." a man shouted. I giggled slightly and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. I'm used to men like that at this point and I know how to deal with them. My dad owns the tavern so I often help out here. My Dad also has magic so he often travels to work with other magic users, mostly Rumpelstiltskin. That means he's often away so I have to run the tavern, like I'm doing right now. 

"In your dreams!" I exclaim, laughing. 

"Yeah! I dream about you and me every night." another man yells, trying to grab onto my dress. I try to walk away but I trip over. My heart stops as I'm about to fall to the floor. But then a strong pair of arms wrap around mine at the last second.

I take a deep breath and blink rapidly. God. What the hell just happened? I look up the man who saved me and my heart starts to pound. He has the bluest eyes I've ever seen and black hair that is quite messy. He's so handsome. I stare into his piercing eyes and it feels like my stomach is doing somersaults. I gulp and laugh softly. 

"Thank you." I say. 

"It's okay." he says, smiling at me. He removes his arms and scratches the back of his head. Am I making him nervous? 

"I'm Victoria." 

"I'm Killian. Killian Jones." 

"Nice to meet you." I say. 

"Yeah, it's great to meet someone as beautiful as you. Wait, did I just say that out loud?" he asks. I laugh nervously. I have no idea what is happening. I've never felt this way about anyone before. It feels like I'm on fire. 

"Would you like a drink?" I ask. 

"Oh, er, yeah." he answers. I go behind the bar to prepare him a drink and he sits down at a table. I lean against a wall and smile widely. He is just.....wow. And I think he likes me too. I've always dreamed of getting true love and I might finally get it! With Killian Jones. What a beautiful name! We could get married and have children! And then we'd tell them of our love story. How he saved me and how it was love at first sight. I sigh happily and twirl a strand of my hair around my finger. I laugh to myself. I'm being ridiculous! I barely even know him! Calm down Victoria! Now go over and get yourself a man. 

I bring the drink over to his table. "There you go." I say. His eyes shine and he smiles shyly. 

"Thanks." I bite my lip. 

"You're new around here, aren't you?" I ask. 

"Yeah. How did you know?" 

"My father owns this tavern but he's often away on business trips so I often have to run it. I know pretty much everyone." I explain. 

"I like a girl who's social." he says. I blush and turn a dark red. I sit down next to him and place my hand near his. Maybe he might take my hand. I try to act calm but on the inside, I'm screaming happily. I can't believe this is happening? 

"So, Killian Jones. What are you doing in this land?" I ask. 

"I'm the Captain of the Jolly Roger and we've sailed here to try and find something." The Jolly Roger?! That's when I notice that one of his hands is missing and in it's place is a silver hook. My eyes widen.
