I never dreamed of finding true love, especially not on a 2 week vacation in the USA. But I guess if you don't expect things to happen, they happen. Just like this time.

I ran outside the door of the shop I just bought that dress in and my new clutch bag fell down. So I wanted to pick it up but then I felt something rather hot running down my back, all over my new dress. At the same time I felt someone crashing into me. I almost fell over. I looked up and tried to stand straight again and I looked into the most amazing eyes I had ever seen. Such a deep shade of gray. I was lost in them. After a few seconds of rude staring I also saw the person around these eyes. I almost felt guilty for staring but then I saw that his man was also starring at me. I saw him, he look gorgeous. Tall, I would say about 9 feet tall and strong looking and with his head full of this reddish hair, he just look breathtaking. And I stood there, in my new dress that original color was royal blue but now it was more like blue brown due to the spilled coffee. Finally I found my voice again and said to the unknown man:"Oh I am sorry." The mysterious male looked at me and found his manners again, he smiled and said:"Oh no, don't be sorry, I am the one who needs to apologize for this mess I've created. I ruined your pretty dress." I just looked at him and couldn't believe what kind of voice he had. It was that kind of voice that makes you weak, at least it made me weak. "I am Christian by the way", he extended his hand and waited for me to shake it. "Uhmmm pleasure to meet you Christian, I am Ana", I replied shaking his hand. "How can I make it up to you?" he asked, smirking. He had caught me staring at him and his beautiful mouth. "You don't need to make it up...I just need to find something to wear now for tonight", I said, looking around trying to make up my mind and find a solution.

"But I insist on making it up to you, what about I'll buy you a new dress? I just have to tell me the occasion and we'll go and find one".

"No, I can't take that offer, it's very kind don't misunderstand me, but I only have an hour left and then I have to meet the others."

"You can take that offer, I will take you shopping right now, don't worry about anything, just tell me where you need to be and what time and I promise you'll be there".

"Ok, thank you very much. I need to be at 7 pm in front of the New York Marriton Downtown."

"Alright then, we better get started. This is my car and my driver, Taylor. He will bring us to our destination. What do you think of Vera Wang? Taylor take us to Vera Wang please"

"I like Vera Wang, I will never wear it, I can't afford it. Please don't go to Vera Wang, you don't have to, Christian."

"I bet you look stunning in Vera Wang, don't worry about money. Please. Tell me something about yourself please, like who are the others you've mentioned?"

"Ok, but nothing to expensive please. I wouldn't make me feel good. So the others, as you described them, are my two cousins and my uncle. I am here with them on a trip through the East US. New York is just a two day stop actually."

"Wow, the East US, sounds good. Where are you headed next?"

"To a family gathering in Ohio I think, but I am not so sure. Normally this would be just an only-boys-trip. But I am the only one apart from my uncle who speaks English properly and so they kind of had to take me with them. Do you live here in NY?"

"Family gathering? But you don't sound American or English. Where are you from? I am lucky they had to bring you too", he says with a wicked smile."And don't live in NY. I have an apartment here, but I live in Seattle."

"Should I be offended that I don't sound American or English or is this a good thing that I am not?" I lick my dry lips, something about this man drives me insane, but I can't put my finger on it. "So you are on business here in NY, what do you do for a living then? And it must be a pretty good job if you can replace a 50-dollar dress with a Vera Wand dress." I smirk at him. Don't think I am a little girl you can tell lies to get them into your bed, I think to myself and my smirk get bigger. I have to bite my lip so I don't start laughing at him.

"Oh no, don't be offended Ana, it was more like a state of fact. You don't sound nor behavior like and American. You actually apologized for something you haven't done. And not many people would do that. I own a company, that's what I do. It's pretty good, so don't worry I can afford a new Vera Wang and maybe even some new shoes if you're lucky." Christian winks at me. I can't believe it and what I can't believe either is that it's making me squirm in my place. I look at him and say"Even a new pair of shoes if I am lucky. And what exactly would I have to do to be lucky? As you would say it? To be clear, I am not that kind of girl." I start staring out the window.

He gasps "I would never think that you would be such a kind of girl. I apologize for making you think that. I really am sorry. Ok?" He says hopefully. I look at him and kind of meld because of the look in his eyes, he really looks sorry. "Ok, you're forgiven", I say with a small smile.

He exhales loudly and smiles at me. "You never answered the question where you from...so do I have to start guessing?"

"No, and sorry for not answering it, I am from Germany, Bavaria to be honest."

"How does it come that you speak English so good?"

"I went to a language school and I wanted to become an English teacher. Tell me something about yourself"

The car stops and Taylor gets out and opens my door. I smile up at him and get out of the car. Christian is by my side immediately and takes my hand. It surprises me but I don't take it out of his hand. We start walking into the store.

"What are your plans for tonight? So we can decide on the dress. We have like 30 minutes left, so we better hurry don't you think?"

"Ok, I wouldn't want to make them wait for me. They never mentioned their plans, they just said, where a nice dress so I suppose we're going to see a play and then have dinner and maybe party a bit. But I am not sure, so nothing to formal but nothing to sexy either ok?"

"Ok, let's go and find someone to help us", he says with a smile I believe him. Christian has something, I don't know. It's like we've know each other for a long time.

We decide on a simple yet stunning black dress, strapless with is ending in the middle of my upper leg. As I try it on and get of the dressing room, Christian's slightly pop out a little bit. I smile at that thought.

We end up on the dress, some rather sexy black lace underwear in which he insists on buying me and some really high black heels. And to complete the outfit, a new black clutch purse.

As we go out of the shop and right into the car. He looks at me and says:"I don't feel sorry anymore for spilling my cup of coffee over your dress. You look stunning Ana."

I start blushing witch makes Christian smile. Oh boy, that's a powerful smile. "Thank you Christian for everything today."

I we stop at front of the Hotel and I can see my uncle and my two cousins, all dressed up in suits. Good thing I have my new dress on. I am about to get out of the car, but Christian stops me. His face is just inches away from mine "Don't forget your clothes Ana." "Oh yes, thank you", I said disappointed. I get out of the car. Christian is at my side again, he looks down at me and says" I don't want to let you go. Will you have dinner with me tomorrow?"
