Hey guy so this is Chapter 2! I just wanted to say how much I love this story. So please read!
LUCY POV
"Wait so you were born in Germany, what was it like?"
"Well I was born on an army base and moved when I was really young so not too many memories." Ian chuckled as he settled back into his chair.
"Your dad was in the army? That must've been hard?" My voice got a little serious. I couldn't imagine having a family member in the military. "No, it's alright. He retired a while ago, he's safe and sound." He almost reassured me.
"So what about after Germany?" "Well, I moved to Virginia and stayed there all through High School. That's actually where I fell in love with acting." He rambled on. "Wait you act?" god he was perfect.
"Yeah that's why I moved to California! I really enjoy it; it just makes me really
happy. I haven't been in anything big by any means, but I've put myself out there." he told me. Could he be any more perfect? "Well actually I'm in ac-" my phone buzzed in my pocket. "Sorry one second." I got up and walked outside.
IAN POV
When she walked out I immediately missed her. I just wanted to keep talking to
her. I don't know what exactly drew me to her, it's like as soon as our eyes met on that street corner I felt something, something different than the usual crush; it was a connection on a deeper level. I know it was getting late and she would probably have to leave soon but I hoped I could work up the courage to ask her for a date. I wasn't exactly experienced with these things, and a girl like that probably had a lot of offers. What would she want with some random guy she spilled her coffee on? With that thought I looked down at myself, I was a mess. I had brown stains all over my shirt, and the shirt itself was damp. How had I not noticed, was I really that mesmerized by this girl… of course I was, she was amazing.
LUCY POV
I stepped out of the coffee shop into the cool summer air and clicked the accept button on my phone.
"Hey Maggie!" I sang.
"Lucy! Umm, where are you? I locked myself out of your apartment and I don't know where the key you gave me is!" Maggie answered a little annoyed.
"Oh I went out for a bit with this guy I met, he really sweet, but I can leave now if you need me to."
"Wait you met a guy? Is he cute?" she questioned much more enthusiastic than before.
"Well, yeah, he is actually. But we've been talking forever and its getting really late; I don't want you stranded outside." I said contemplating what to do.
"Well if you wouldn't mind leaving your new guy." She laughed.
"I'm sure he's getting bored with me anyway; ill leave in a few minutes. Ok?"
"See you in a bit Luce! Bye!"
I hung up the phone, took a breath, and walked back inside. I looked over at Ian and he was staring mindlessly at his blackberry. I didn't really want to leave, but I knew Maggie did not want to be waiting outside for me for hours. "Hey, what are you doing?" I asked as I slid back into the chair. "Oh, just checking my e-mail, who was on the phone?" "My sister, she's visiting here and she locked herself out of her apartment." I told him hoping he'd get the hint. "Oh! Do you need to go?" No. "Yeah, I think so, plus it's getting dark and I walked from my apartment." Why did Maggie have to lock herself out? "Okay, yeah I understand." He said, but I could pick up a little sadness in his voice. "Well, I'll see you soon?" I asked a little quietly. "Yeah of course!" he said rising out of his chair. "Bye!" I said as I grabbed my purse and started to walk to the door.
IAN POV
"Bye." Really? Bye, that's all I could say. There she was, possibly the most perfect girl I had ever met, just walking away. Let's be honest here, if I let her leave there's a good chance I'll never see her again. As I saw her walk out the door, something just clicked in my brain and I knew I couldn't let her leave like that. I got up and ran out the door. "Lucy!" She was just winding the corner but she heard me, and turned around with a big smile. "Yeah?" she yelled over to me. I walked over to where she was. "Listen, umm. I was thinking. Umm may—" she cut me off and handed me a napkin. "For the next time you're craving a pumpkin spice latté." I looked down and there on the napkin scribbled in black ink was her phone number. "Yeah, ill definitely take you up on that." I said as I rubbed the back of my neck. "Well, I really do have to go. "She said as she bit her lip. "Yeah, well I'll call you?" I questioned stepping back. "Yes you will." She beamed as she turned to walk the other direction.
How was it? I'm really starting to figure out where this story is headed and its gonna be good! I'm almost done with the third chapter so RATE and Review and I might just post it tonight.
Thanks,
Gabi
