I'VE JUST SEEN A FACE - ACROSS THE UNIVERSE

I'vejust seen a face
I can't forget the time or place where we just met
he's just the guy for me and I want all the world to see we've met
Mmm mmmm...

It was only rotten luck that I met him to be honest. Needless to say thanks to my dumbass best friend Lakyn, the one night I had from work to do studies was interrupted because he landed his stupid ass into hospital. I didn't want to know why this time but I did hear the snippets of 'bite' and 'what the hell' before he hung up.

I muttered under my breath as I trudged up the stairs of the hotel, cursing whatever corporate god that decided we should deliver this far away and my best friend for being a dumb prat. Mostly Lakyn.

"Pizza!" I huffed, banging on the room door and readjusting the baseball cap on my head. My breath seemed to catch as the door opened, eyes stuck to the guy in front of me.

Breathe glenn...

The guy looked a few years older than myself, dirty blonde hair a mess and dressed in a plain pair of jeans and white wife beater. His icy blue eyes flickered over me, a small smile curling his lips and I fought the stupid teenage part of me that wanted to smile back. Time and place and all that. Didn't stop the blush that worked its way onto my cheeks.

Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way and I'd have never been aware
But as it is Ill dream of him tonight
Da da da da da da

"You know what I've realised?" i sighed, shifting in my seat beside Lakyn's hospital bed. "I can't even ask anyone for advice, because literally everyone I know is the worst at dealing with their feelings."

"Hey," Lakyn protested weakly. "I'm not that bad."
"Really?" i smirked, raising an eyebrow as I laid the paper crane I had been nervously making on his bed side table. "I mean, I love you, buddy, but watching you pretty much go nuts over the girl in calculus is right up there in the top ten most horrific experiences of my life."

"Shut up," he snorted, pushing my shoulder but his smile faltered slightly. "So what are you going to do about this guy?"
"Nothing," i smiled "Genius, right?"
"Um, are you being sarcastic?"
"No." i rolled my eyes, jabbing him in the stomach with a finger and apologising quickly when he winced. Whatever the hell bit him was making his own body kick his ass. "I mean, that's the last time i take your pizza shift. But because I was an idiot and didn't, I've decided I'm just going to ignore it until it goes away."
"Solid plan, dude," Lakyn snorted rolling his eyes.
"Are you being sarcastic?"
"Yeah, you like it now, bitch?" Lakyn replied, giving me one of his stupid goofy grins and I felt a small smile tug at my lips as I looked at the ceiling.
"Why am I surrounded by emotionally-crippled lunatics?"
"Hey, you're an emotionally crippled- "
"I know, I know, jeez," i said, cutting him off with a soft slap up the back of the head. "No need to rub it in, dude. besides, its not like i'm going to see him again."
"Really, thats strange cause isn't that them over there?" Lakyn said indifferently, bursting out laughing when i turned around quickly, almost falling off the chair beside him but still grining like an idiot.

"Nice job ignoring it, Glenn," Lakyn muttered, trying his hardest not to laugh and i hit him in the arm.

"I hate you so much," i snarked, smirking just slightly as Lakyn smiled widely.

Falling, yes I am falling
And he keeps calling me back again

"Amy! Didn't I just do this order?!" Andrea called through the kitchen, the blonde girl next to me frowning as she re-read the address.

"I dunno, seems the same address but it's different stuff." Amy shrugged, handing the crumpled bit of paper back to her sister. "Maybe he forgot something?"

"Another pizza and garlic bread?" Andrea raised a brow and I drowned out their gossip til I felt the sharp slap across the back of my head. I glared at the blonde girl in front of me, rubbing my skull.

"Glenn, you know everything." Amy smiled, ignoring me as I tried to argue. "You know who did any deliveries here?"

My heart plummeted as I saw the room number and address, hiding my face beneath my work hat as I continued back with my work. "Ahh, yeah…it was…um…me..?"

"Really?" Andrea smirked, "would you mind taking this one. We're okay with staff tonight and I got, uh, a big delivery in the other direction so…"

I glanced around the small kitchen, raising a brown when I noticed practically no orders waiting besides the one in her hands. Then again, I knew better than to argue with Andrea.

"Yeah, alright." I sighed, ignoring the feeling in my stomach as I ducked into my car.

I have never known the like of this
I've been alone and I have missed things and kept out of sight
For other guys were never quite like this
Mmm mmmm...

"Delivery." i managed out, my body practically shaking as I knocked on the door.

God Glenn, get yourself together…

My words once again died in my mouth as he ripped the front door open and my eyes went wide. His once messy hair was tidied up slightly although it still hung in his eyes. I wanted to punch myself as I let my eyes travel him, actually a bit disappointed by the fact he was wearing sleeves. I expected I had caught him off guard too, his mouth opened slightly as he looked at me.

"Um….pizza?" I mumbled quietly, half hiding behind the boxes in my hands.

"Hey" his look of surprise disappeared from his face, a small smile replacing it. "It's you."

"Yeah. Me, the delivery guy." I nodded slightly, smiling in spite of myself but it faltered. "wait, were…were you expecting andrea? Cause-cause that's okay too. I can give her your number if you like her? But no, I should ask her first in case you're some creep. Not that I think you're a creep!"

He covered my mouth with a quick hand, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. I blushed, pulling away slowly.

"sorry, I babble when I'm nervous." I muttered out, not daring to look him in the face.

"You know, I wasn't waiting for the blonde?" he smiled, his cheeks flushed slightly as he looked down as his hands, switching his weight from foot to foot. "I was actually…um…expecting you?"

My jaw dropped at the barely there words and I could see his expression change quickly, as if he had done something wrong.

"it's cool, I'm sorry if I assumed." He babbled. "I shouldn't, I mean i-"

"you talk too much." I said quietly, covering his mouth this time and I could feel him smile beneath my fingers. "My name's glenn."

He grabbed my wrist, pulling my fingers away but I could still see the hint of red across his face. "Daryl. Daryl Dixon."

Falling, yes I am falling
And he keeps calling me back again
