Elizabeth hurriedly rushed to the bus stop, only to find that the bus was going to be one hour late. Disappointed, she walked inside and spotted a group hovering around a television. The cheering noise was deafening which provoked Elizabeth's curiosity even more. She pushed her way through the crowd to find the Olympic Games on. The runners were making their way across the track and soon Elizabeth became captured in the race. She began jogging in place, commanding attention of the sexy yet shy guy right beside her. He watched the enthusiastic girl curiously until the race ended.

The crowd started to break apart and it left the two of them standing. Elizabeth panted a little before turning around to take notice of the guy beside her. He was staring at her with the most beautiful blue eyes she had ever seen. Yet she took no notice, her mind fully on the guy walking towards her.

"Yikes!" Elizabeth squeaked. Quickly, she hid behind the guy's back, giving quick glances over his tall shoulders to see how close Jeff was.

"Oh my gosh, Jeff! How nice to see you here! Huh. that wouldn't work, let's try being a little less hyper", Elizabeth went on muttering to herself, practicing on how to act surprised to see Jeff here. The man went unnoticed but smiled to himself as he saw the small girl trying to impress her obvious crush. Elizabeth noticed Jeff was walking closer and she dodged behind the man. Hiding till the exact moment, Elizabeth sprung out from behind the man's back with a "Hey Jeff!"

"Oh, um. hi Elizabeth", Jeff hesitantly answered. "What are you doing here?"

"I, ummm, came to send my uncle back to his home. See he's right over there! Bye, Uncle!" Elizabeth waved to a complete stranger. The guy smiled at Elizabeth's discomfort and was so curious he decided to follow her and apparently, this Jeff guy.

"Come on, let me take your bags. You must be so tired", Elizabeth cooed.

"No, that's okay. I can carry it myself."

"Yes, I'll take them", Elizabeth took the bags from Jeff's hands with no further protests and proceeded down the hallway to the taxis. Jeff smiled as he walked behind her, taking advantage of this innocent girl's crush on him. Still, the blue-eyed man was not paid any attention. He smirked as he walked behind the couple, wondering how it would turn out.

"I'll be right back. Making a stop at the restroom for a second", Jeff said.

"Okay", Elizabeth looked around as she waited, sighting her reflection in the store window. Quickly glancing around, she ducked to the side of the window and combed her hair through. The blue-eyed man had no idea what her sudden burst of vanity was about and walked over to see what was so interesting in the window. Elizabeth saw a blonde-white head pop up near hers. With a gasp, she realized it was the blue-eyed man she ran into earlier. With a pout and a look of annoyance, she left the window as Jeff came walking out.

"Come on then, Elizabeth", Jeff commanded as he walked away with an air of superiority. Elizabeth sent the blue-eyed one more look until she turned away to catch up with Jeff. She never caught the chuckle the man gave out as he saw her rushing away to serve a man who doesn't even like her.
