First ever fic! I hope you enjoy Chapter one- reviews are much appreciated- your opinion and tips are important to me! I thought of this story when I was eating at the mall believe it or not! I hope you guys enjoy!

Roman and Julia worked in the same mall, in the same food court, in the Subway and Great Wraps directly next to each other, and neither knew of each others existence. Until today. There is a ongoing rivalry between food places in every mall, but none as severe as the Subway and Great Wraps of this mall in the small town of Verona Creek. The owners had a serious grudge against one another, but no worker had any idea of the origin of their hatred. Still, the workers each took the rivalry seriously, or a least pretended to do so in fear of losing their jobs.

"Anything to drink with that?" asked the girl with honey colored hair in front of the register.

"Just get me one bottle of water."

"Moooooom!" moaned two small blue-eyed children simultaneously.

"You both have your own bottles already now-"

"But I wanna Dr. Pep-per!" the girl said, batting her long eyelashes.

"Absolutely not, now Mikey, go with your sister and sit down at that table there before someone beats us to it"

"But Mom-"

"Go on!"

Julia giggled, smiling at the boy and girl. "Are they twins?"

"We get that a lot, they're actually close to twenty months apart!" she remarked handing Julia a twenty.

While rushing to get the the young woman her change she added, "Well, they are adorable!"

"Mhm. You say that now, but one hour babysitting and you'd have a different opinion!"

"Oh, I doubt it." she said smiling at the two laughing children. She flashed a big smile at the mom, "Thank you for coming to Great Wraps!"

"Bye now! Thank you so much-" she paused, "Juliet!"

Her bright blue eyes flicked down at her name tag, her bosses nickname for her was written neatly in ink. Her boss was a slender woman with large hazel eyes and a youthful vibe despite her age. She was kindhearted, but her feelings toward the subway's manager was cold. It seemed to Julia she didn't dislike the subway employees, but the manager himself. Some sleepless nights she ponders their relationship-do they have history?

"Kid? Hey kid?," asked the older gentleman waiting for his sandwich.

"Wha? Oh yeah- here is your food,sir..." replied the young man quickly pushing over a tray.

"Thank you very much," the man answered with a tone of confusion and worry in his voice.

Roman sighed. He got distracted . He was looking over at the Great Wraps to his left. The girl managing the register was... beautiful. Something about her luscious honey-colored hair and shining bright blue eyes made him want to walk over and eliminate any distance between them. Suddenly, he found his legs moving to doing just that.

There was only one boy left at behind the counter, Romans best friend Ben.

"Hey man, where are you going?"

He stopped, realizing what he was doing and left his trance. As he began to turn around, he saw two blue eyes staring right at him, tearing through his very soul. Actually, he thought snapping back into reality, her eyes looked kind of confused.

"Ummm, I...I am just..." he begins to turn and then stopped at hear a soft flowing voice.

"Wait! Umm... your hat...fell off."

Walking closer to her he leaned down picking up his subway cap. In coming back up he looked straight into her eyes and smiled. He needed to think of something to say to her, and he needed to think fast!

"Thank you, Juliet!" he said quickly as he ran back to Subway.

She was about to speak, but he was gone. But the short distance was not near far enough to keep them apart for long.

When she was preparing for close, she pulled the soda machine out from the emptiness between GreatWraps and the place next to it. Subway. Now lay only and empty gateway between herself and...Roman.

"You closing up tonight?" he asked, although Roman already figured that out. "I am,too."

She looked up at him curious of his intentions. "I-I am- closing I mean." She said squatting to look under the counter. She realized everything that needed to be put up already was. He squatted next to her.

"So you come here often? Well of course you come here you work here. I mean down here? On the...floor... Why would you come down he-"

He was cut of. "I don't make a habit of sitting on the floor, no," she answered smiling.

"So do you...well what I'm trying to say is... I don't work tomorrow. Do you?"

"I work a lunchtime- staring at 2:00."

"Well then it will have to be breakfast!"

"What? Are you-"

"Meet me- here- no not here- at... Starbucks? Dunkin' Doughnuts?"

"You like Dunkin' Doughnuts?" she said with sudden sass.

"Is there any better doughnut place?"

"Have you not ever had a Krispy Kreme?"

"Aren't those store-bought?" he said with a touch of disgust.

"No! Well yes, but even the store-bought ones are better than any Dunkin' Doughnut!"

"Fine! Is there a 'Krispy Kreme' anywhere near here?"

"Yes! There happens to be one down the road from here!"

"Okay!"

"Okay!"

"Fine!"

"Fi-" Julia stopped realizing she was on the ground, arguing about Doughnuts with a stranger. That works at subway. Subway... Subway!?

"What is it?"

"I just-" she started getting up.

"Realized you were on the floor?"

"Well yeah?"

"With a gorgeous girl talking about breakfast plans? I mean not that I'm a girl I was just, I meant-"

She giggled, and when he joined her laughing, she laughed harder.

"Okay, tomorrow morning, Krispy Kreme, at... pfft... 9:00?"

"I'll... be there," she answered questioning herself.

"Great!" he said, leaving.

"Wait, don't you need to close up?"

"I already had!" he yelled through the growing distance between them as he walked away.

"Then why were you here?!"

"Because I wanted to see you!" He left her at that.
