I sat at the counter spooning Cheerios into my mouth while my eyes scanned one of the fashion magazines that had been left out by my roommate. The sound of traffic out on the street below the apartment almost drowned out the sound of Bella singing the musical stylings of Whitney Houston as she showered getting herself ready for work. I ran my fingers through my hair with a little sigh as I tried to mentally prepare myself for the day, I had offered to help my sister prepare her new bridal store for the grand opening and I instantly regretted it. I was bursting with pride for my sister but I just knew she would be racing around barking orders like a dictator until everything was perfect.

I trudged down the street towards her store after changing into a pair of dark jeans and flannel shirt with a baseball cap to cover the tangled mess on top of my head. As I pushed open the glass door I was met by a mountain of pastel pink boxes and a maze of clothing racks, I could hear shuffling from under the yards of satin and lace so I knew Alice had to be here somewhere. "Allie?" I called with a slight frown before letting out a little gasp as my sister emerged from the sea of fabric like the kraken.

"Where have you been? You were supposed to be here half an hour ago" Alice scaled with a menacing glare in her green eyes Ias she folded her arms over her chest.

"I'm here now so where do you want me?" I brushed her off with a wave of my head as I began the climb over the boxes to the back of the store. Just as predicted we worked through until lunch time with Alice yelling at me at every opportunity but I was prepared to put it down to the stress of the grand opening. I had been trusted with the task of getting us lunch and that was definitely something I could handle. The flashing neon sign of my favourite sandwich shop had never looked more inviting as my stomach grumbled at the mere thought of food. I had motives other than the delicious sandwiches for visiting here at every opportunity but that was something I liked to keep under my hat. As soon as I stepped through the door that was when I saw him-he had his messy blonde hair pulled into a bun and sandy stubble covered his chin. My eyes slowly moved down his body with a slight smile as I took in his quirky attire for the day, he had chosen a pair of red fitted jeans and a geometric printed shirt with the sleeves rolled up to show off his muscular forearms. He was the reason I loved this shop. The scent of coffee and fresh bread instantly filled my nose as I waited in line with a slight flutter in my chest. My eyes darted across the menu picking out something for myself and Alice to distract myself from my nerves. My palms were growing sweaty and my stomach was flipping in somersaults and that's when I almost lost it.

"Hey, what can I get you?" The girl behind the counter asked with a bright smile as she waiting patiently for my order.

"I..uh…" I hesitated slightly before my heart leapt in my chest as the man I had been spying like a little girl suddenly came into view.

"Amber, could you go clear the tables?" He asked politely before turning to me with a slight twinkle in his icy blue eyes that glistened like the sky on a frosty morning. "I haven't seen you in here since...yesterday was it?" He teased with a little chuckle.

"So soon? I'm sorry" I laughed nervously pushing my hands into the pockets of my jeans. "You have great sandwiches and I just-"

"I was kidding" He shook his head in amusement to ease the tension ever so slightly. "I was wondering when I would get to see you again and then here you are all hungry and covered in glitter"

"Is it that obvious?" I questioned with wide eyes only digging myself into a bigger hole. That was when I felt the warmth of his hand brush over my cheek wiping away the rainbow glitter from my cheek. "Oh..I mean I am too...just so you know" I could feel the burn in my cheeks as I chewed my lower lip nervously until I was almost left with a bloody wound.

"Usual?" He asked with a quirk of his brow putting through the order. I could have cursed myself for not being more flirtatious or indicating my interest in some other way than almost pissing my pants with excitement. What had happened to me? I used to be as smooth as a well aged whiskey but there was something about this guy that just sent me into such a frenzy that my brain no longer functioned. I held the paper bag tightly in my hand as I pushed my way past the wedding dresses to find Alice sitting back in her cream leather office chair with her feet up in the glass desk. I slumped down in the seat beside her watching her tiny hands digging eagerly into the bag for her grilled chicken club.

"You look a little down, what happened?" Alice asked as she sipped her iced tea.

"It doesn't even matter" I brushed her off as I pulled my sandwich from the bag my eyes widening slightly seeing the scribble of black pen on the red paper. 'Call me, Glitter Boy. Jasper x'. A smile so wide that I could put the Joker to shame spread across my face as I read the five words over and over. I quickly screwed up the number and pushed it into my pocket before turning my attention back to Alice. I couldn't wait to escape this bridal prison and spend the night talking myself into arranging a date with the man who had been feeding me everyday for the past month.

Long time no see! I've had this cute little idea in my mind and I just needed to get it down. Let me know what you think, it would be greatly appreciated:) Lauren x
