Credit goes to my good friend Sophie for helping me finish this chapter I don't know how she put up with my constant texts.

Chapter 2

It has been about a week since Troy and Gabriella had met and they had meet 3 times for drinks so that they now knew each other's drink orders. Gabriella hot chocolate and Troy's latte with a cinnamon swirl.

Gabriella was stood in the pet food isle of Wal-mart staring intently at a tin of tuna flavored cat food. She hoped that Troy didn't know she didn't have a cat, or any pet for that matter. She also hoped that Troy was actually working today, or she must look stupid. Yet didn't she look stupid anyway?

She stood away from the shelf, and pushed her empty trolley towards the bread isle.

This, she thought, is why people swap numbers. She was annoyed at herself, she was acting like a teenager again. She was a lawyer, a lawyer who was getting flustered over a shop assistant. Her father would have said to keep her head in the game and focus on her career. Besides, Troy had never talked about qualifications, he was probably a dropout. Her family would never accept him regardless of her feelings for him. Feelings for him? She laughed ironically to herself, she hardly knew him, how could she have feelings for him. She swung her trolley round into the next aisle and straight into a set of step ladders as someone was stocking the top shelf. The person went flying, several boxes of eggs crashing open and onto the victim. Gabriella didn't want to look down. She hoped Karma wasn't about to hit her for the harsh thoughts she'd had in the last aisle. Eventually she slowly let her gaze drop to the figure lying, soaked in egg on the floor.

"Troy," she gasped.
