So, apparently writing fanfics doesn't prepare a person for a math test. I know this because I just epically failed my test tonight. So to make myself feel better I'm gonna write.

Eliza was lead to a warm cozy café that seconded as a bakery. The smells of fresh breads and pastries being baked filled with hunger and she realized that she had yet to eat today. They were seated in the back in a booth that had maroon seat covers softer then she had imagined. It was coming to someone's home, the waiter was so welcoming and the atmosphere whispered softly that it was okay to relax, it was safe here. Kevin had always loved this place, it was so exclusive and just about everyone here work in the business. There weren't any people begging for autographs or pictures of creepy mouth-breathing waiters that hit on your date.
He looked over the menu and decided that he would have a fresh baked bread bowl with beef vegetable soup. Eliza wasn't sure what to order, everything sounded amazing. Kevin noticed her struggle and suggested what he was having. "Best bread bowls in Town." He said with a wink. Eliza blushed and told the waiter what she'd have. He explained that because the bowls were made fresh it took about 45 minutes for them to come out. Eliza began to nervously stir her straw in her tea.
"So," she didn't finish a sentence, but left it open ended. She'd prefer he fill the silence.
"Eliza, tell me about yourself." She sighed.
"Eliza, 21 years old, Barista, single, I like long walks on the beach, Cheap wine and falling stars." She looked up and gave him a half grin. Kevin smiled, she was cute.
"Cheap wine and falling stars?"
"Well, I can't afford the good stuff, I rarely ever drink. I think New Years is it and falling stars are rare in this city so If I get to see one it's a big deal. Kevin Lucas, tell me about yourself."
"Kevin, age 22, Rockin guitar player, currently living in a hotel suite playing shows around the country. I like Gibson guitars, 60's and 70's rock and your beautiful blue eyes." Eliza blushed, he was smooth.
"Rocking guitar player, you think so?"
"The fans seem to think so."
"Fair enough. I'm sorry but I've never really heard your music. Unless you do indie, blues, or jazz, I haven't heard it. The only stuff I hear is whatever is played at work."
"Where do you work?"
"Starbucks." Kevin's heart jumped for joy.
"Oh, I think I'm in love. Most of my fortune is in the hands of coffee brewers around the world." Eliza smiled. I think I love you too. She sat up straight and hoped to god she hadn't said that out loud. Kevin was telling her a story about a road trip and a bus so she assumed she was safe and listened as the tale unfolded.
Kevin snuck a glance at his watch; he had been at the restaurant with Eliza for three and half hours. He was shocked that time had passed so quickly. But she was interesting and really funny. She was so blatantly honest and she had a youngness to her that was refreshing, he found something about her pulling him in. He never would've thought that the girl of her dreams would've been a million times better in real life. He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and instantly regretted leaving it on. Six new messages, One new voicemail. Great.
"K2, I'm running a little late. Dinner at 6 instead?"
"Baby, I need an answer so I kno where 2 meet u."
"Kevin! It's 6, what's happening? Where are u?
"seriously Kevin I'm sitting on a street in NY, WHERE ARE YOU?"
" KEVIN CALL ME!"
"I'm really freaked out Kevin please call me. I don't wanna sit here anymore."
"Paul Kevin Lucas the Second, This is your girlfriend, I'm not sure if you remember but we had plans tonight. I drove all the way from Jersey today, I have work tomorrow. I can't just sit here in New York and wait around for a phone call. I know your busy, I understand that comes with the territory, but don't you pay someone to keep track of your schedule for you? You know what? I'm going home, you can send money for the gas I wasted coming here. Bye."
Kevin sighed heavily, he had a girlfriend. He had forgotten and even worse he wasn't sure why he was even dating her. Pressure from the media calling him gay, yup that was the reason. It had been nearly a year and Danielle was expecting him to propose, everyone expected it. He wasn't sure why he hadn't until the dreams had started. It was after seeing Eliza's face he knew that Danielle was not the one he wanted to find when he woke up. Danielle was angry with him, perhaps it was time he end the ridiculous thing called a relationship. He had found the girl he wanted and she was sitting across the table from him.
Oh happy day. Another chapter for everyone to enjoy. Sorry but I just hate the idea of Kevin marrying Danielle, he's too young. So I get to enjoy their break up even if it's just pretend.
