Fuck, I'm exhausted. I swear to God, these patients are pain in the butt. Give me this, give me that, watch out, blah blah,...

I always dreamed to be a nurse to help people. Since I was a little girl I knew this is what I wanted to be. But sometimes even your dream job is tiring and makes you not want to do it anymore. And these doctors... just because they have higher education they think they can treat us like we are their personal assistants. And the patients... they literally think they are in a hotel and they expect me to bring them stuff like I'm some sort of maid.

But this is what pays the bills.

I make my way to a coffee shop to grab a cup of coffee since I'm tired from my shift. Actually, that has become my everyday routine.

As I enter the coffee shop, I see a quite long line. Fuck, that is just what I needed.

I step behind a man, who's a head taller than me and has a nice black suit on.

5 minutes has passed already and the line barely moved.

"Oh my God, why isn't this going faster." I say to myself, but loud enough for a man in front of me to hear.

He turns around. "Tell me about it. I've been in here for the last 10 minutes." He has messy brown chocolate hair and big reddish eyes. He is very handsome and he sure does look great in that suit.

"Normally this place isn't packed... I don't know what's so special about today." I tell him.

"Starbucks from across the street isn't working today." he points it out and I turn around to see it for myself. It really was.

"I don't know what's a huge deal about Starbucks..." I start the conversation, completely forgetting he's basically a stranger to me. "You are just paying for an overpriced coffee that isn't even that good."

"I agree, but my kid loves their sugary drinks." he responds. He has a kid? He seems so young. Oh well... I was really hoping he is single.

"Listen..." he suddenly starts, causing me to stop thinking and concentrate to what he's about to say. "It won't be our turn for a while. What do you say if we find another coffee place around here and talk a bit?"

Is he asking me out? "I would love to, but wouldn't your wife mind?" I had to ask. I'm not going out with a married man.

He suddenly laughs, which really confuse me. What's so funny about that? "I don't have a wife nor a girlfriend. If I did, I wouldn't be asking you to get a cup of coffee with me."

Now I feel kinda embarrassed. "I'm sorry. Is just you mentioned earlier you have a kid, I assu-"

"I'm a single dad. I've not been with a mother of my child for years." he explains to me as we walk out of the coffee shop. "Do you know any coffee place around here?"

I nod. "There is one just around that corner." I point it out to him. He smiles in return, which made me a bit hot. He has a charming smile that any girl can fall for. I don't even know the name of this man, which reminds me. "I'm sorry, but we didn't even introduce ourselves. I'm Runo, Runo Misaki."

"I'm Daniel Kuso, but everyone calls me Dan." He shakes my extended hand.

We both smile at each other as we make our way to the other coffee shop. My bad day is turning to be not so bad. It's turning into a pretty good one. I could just melt while looking into his eyes... he's so charming, my God.

As we reach our destination, he opens the door for me like a gentleman would. I give him a small smile as I enter.

There's not a lot of people in here. Perfect.

"Why don't you go sit down and I'll order us some coffee?" he offers. He's so sweet.

"Alright. I'll have latte macchiato please." I reply. He just nods and goes to order. I stare at his back for about five seconds before I got my shit together and found us seats.

Maybe a minute later he comes back and takes a seat opposite of mine. "I hope those seats are okay."

"They're perfect." Once again, he gives me a beautiful smile that makes my heart beat faster. I just met this guy and he already has this impact on me. "So Runo, tell me something about yourself."

"Well..." I start. "I'm 24, I live across the street from here with my roommate, who is also my best friend. I work as a nurse, if you couldn't tell..." I point at my uniform, which made him laugh. Even his laugh is adorable.

"Being a nurse must be hard, huh?"

"You have no idea... today was actually one of my worst days ever. But you actually managed to turn it into a pretty great one." I blush as I tell him that. Why did I do that?

"I'm very glad to hear that." he grins as he takes my hand into him. We look straight up at each other's eyes.

What the hell is happening?

20 minutes ago I was having a really shitty day and now I'm kinda on a date with the most amazing guy ever that made my whole day... wait, not a day, a month.

Someone suddenly interrupts our little moment. We both look up and we see the waitress with our coffees. We make some room for her to place them.

"So tell me something about yourself, Dan." I continue once the waitress left.

"As you know I am a single dad to my 6 year old son." I nod as I slowly blow into my coffee and take a sip without looking away from him. "I'm 27 and I'm a lawyer."

"What's your kid's name?"

"His name is Alexander, but he wants us to call him Alex."

"Like father like son, huh?" he laughs and nods. "I just gotta ask this..."

"What?"

"How does a good looking guy like you not have a girlfriend?"

He laughs. "I could say the same thing about you."

"Oh, my love life has been disastrous." I reply. It honestly has… the last boyfriend cheated on me and the one before him was just weird. I honestly lost a bit of hope for true love.

"I've actually had no love life since Alex has been born. I just had my focus on him and my career." he explains.

"You been single for 6 years? That's hardly believable."

"It has been six years... I only wanted to focus on my kid and my career. I had enough problems with my ex..." I really want to ask him about Alex's mother, but it's way too soon for that.

"How come you decide now to ask someone out on a date?"

"Oh, so we are on a date... thank God you clear that up cuz I didn't know if you knew that I was referring to this as a date." he quickly says, making me laugh, because he actually looks relieved about this. "But to answer your question, I really enjoyed talking to you back at the previous coffee shop, so I thought maybe I should get to know this pretty cool person and maybe start something new and I happen to think you're very beautiful."

"Oh stop..." I blush as I look away. Those little words just always get me.

"I'm hoping I can get your number and maybe for a second, but a real date" he also states which make me blush even more. He is just too perfect.

And of course I'll give him my number.

Not gonna miss my chance with Mr. Perfect.

I decided to do something different since I'm always writing same things.

I hope you like it… a review is always appreciated. Sorry for the mistakes.

See you soon

Byee
