The coffee shop was busier than usual today. I sat in a corner booth as I watched the traffic on the streets zoom by. All of Beacon Hills seems to be wake this morning. I sipped my coffee as my computer started up. I've been back home for almost 3 weeks and my parents are already suffocating me. This is the first time I've left the house without them since I've been back. They watch me like a hawk and constantly check on me, it makes me almost long for the days when they buried themselves in their work to hide their grief. I'd take being ignored over this new over bearing thing they're doing.
I readied myself to dive into the world I had been creating when a boy caught my attention. He was staring at me with emerald eyes. He ran his fingers through his hair as the guy he was with grabbed his attention again. I couldn't help, but admire him as he spoke intensely with his friend. I tore my attention away from him and tried to focus on the story I was writing. My focus didn't last long though, I soon found myself peeking over my laptop at him. He met my gaze full on and I quickly ducked to hide my blush. He caught me staring at him! I've never been so embarrassed! I began to try and quickly pack up my things.
"I don't know why you're so flustered. I was staring at you too." A deep voice said over my should. I felt my entire body go ridged. "I…don't know… what you're talking about." I stammered as I shoved my computer in my bag. He only laughed. "Do I know you?" He asked as he took a step away from me so I could stand up. "No." I answered shortly as I began to head for the door.
"Can I at least have your name?" He asked as he easily followed my brisk pace towards my car. I looked back and gave him a smile. "Maybe next time." I said as I began to pick up the pace. "Well my name is Derek." He called. I turned to stare at him. "Do we know each other?" I asked studying him. "Not that I know of, but I don't even know your name yet." "It's Anna." I said as I gave in and met his smile. "Anna would you like to go get some coffee tomorrow? Or maybe lunch?" I could only smile as I nodded. "That sounds nice Derek. I'll meet you here?" "It's a date!" He said with an eager smile
As I drove home my nerves began to set in. What would I wear? Do we even have anything in common? He's stunning, but what if he's dull? My mind was racing as I walked into the front door and was instantly greeted by my mother from the living room. "Where have you been honey?" She called over the sound of the soap opera she was watching. "I just went to get coffee mom. No big deal." I sighed as I headed towards my room. I wasn't in the mood to deal with her constant questions if I told her about Derek.
