Eight AM classes were not my favorite at all. I was currently attending UCLA studying Marine Biology. I was a full time student and also working when I could at the café/bar that Victoria and I owned. Of course we had a couple of workers as well because there was no way we could run it by ourselves. It definitely felt nice to have something that amazing that you can call yours though. One of our workers called in sick with something to do with a fever so I had to come in tonight even though it was my normal night off. I had my Ecology class today along with some Environmental Science class I had to take so my brain was always friend by three PM. But I guess that's the price I pay for being co-owner to a small, yet successful business.

"Don't forget you have a shift tonight, I'm counting on you!" Victoria yelled as I left the apartment heading to school.

The two classes I had were actually pretty easy today. Just lectures with online quizzes due in two days. I found myself laying out on a bench on campus staring up at the clear blue sky after I had helped out my Ecology partner. I had a few hours before I had to be at work so I had promised that I'd help her understand something we'd gone over in the lecture today. I was in the quiet part of the campus so I out my headphones in and zoned out for awhile just thinking about things. It had become a daily ritual for my mind to wander to blonde hair and blue eyes.

Two months had passed since I had seen the mysterious blonde at the club. I should've known that spark was too good to be true. I thought back to when I told Victoria about her when we'd returned home that morning.

2 months ago

"So what happened to the blonde I caught a glimpse of you dancing with earlier?" Victoria asked yawning. "You two seemed to have hit it off."

"She had to leave with her friend before I could get more info than her name," I sighed. "What about the girl you were dancing with?"

"Oh we just danced and then she moved on as did I. So, what was her name?" she asked.

"Heather," I half whispered without realizing it. I was too busy relishing in the way her named sounded and felt coming out of my mouth.

"Oh well, she was probably just another player anyway," she laughed.

"I don't think so. She seemed so on her own before she came up to me. I watched her, she kept rejecting anyone that got too close to her," I smiled. "Until she came up to me that is."

"Oh you've got it bad for a girl you danced with for ten minutes," she teased. "I can see it all over your face. You know better than to expect more than a dance at that club."

"I know," I said annoyed.

"What happened when she was leaving?" she asked seeming to be entertaining the fact that she was right.

"I asked her if I'd see her again and she said 'I promise you will' before walking away." I replied sadly.

"Well maybe she'll come back to the club," Victoria yawned again.

I nodded, hoping she was right, but I couldn't shake the deep feeling that I'd never see her again.

I was convinced that my deep feeling had been proved correct. Victoria had been right, I knew better than to expect something out of a dance at a club, especially in L.A., but I couldn't help it. Something sparked in me when I danced with her and I could've swore she felt it too, but hell I didn't have the best track record when it came to relationships and people. I always picked the bad ones. Maybe Victoria was right about another thing. Maybe that blonde was just another player.

I had fallen asleep on the bench for a bit so I was running late for my shift and I knew if I wasn't there soon Victoria would have my head. I made it just a few minutes late so she wasn't too mad at me. It was stocking day so I had to carry a crap ton of things in from our supply truck.

I had ran to the bathroom between customers because I was sure my bladder was about to explode if I didn't. "Hannah I swear I'm going to kill you," Victoria half yelled walking into the bathroom.

"Well excuse me for needing to empty my bladder, master," I seethed as I washed my hands.

"I'm sorry it's just that the place is busy and we need everyone on their toes," she sighed out.

"I get that, but I'm exhausted. I haven't slept worth a crap in the last few weeks and school isn't exactly a breeze," I said heading for the door.

"I know but this job is just as important too," Victoria yelled as she followed me.

I turned to give her a hard stare as I walked out the door so I hadn't noticed someone was walking towards me. We collided right into each other and I managed to grab the person around their waist in attempt to prevent them from falling. It had to have been a girl because I doubt I could lift a man like that.

"Are you okay?" Victoria asked as I finally lifted my gaze to the persons face.

My heart stopped and I had a lump in my throat the size of a baseball. My eyes met piercing blues and I was drowning all over again like I had so many nights ago. She hadn't locked eyes with me yet because she was busy straightening her shirt and pulling her purse back over her shoulder.

"I'm fine," she answered and smiled. "Muscles here caught me before I could fall."

"Heather," I mumbled making it sound more like a question rather than a realization.

She finally looked up and shared the same look of realization I had plastered on my face.

"Hannah," she said just as I had.

We stood there for a moment staring into each other's eyes.

"Okay well if you're okay I need "Muscles" here to go back to work," Victoria said oblivious to what was going on in front of her.

I elbowed her lightly and she looked up at the potential customer she only saw her as. It's like it hit her like a brick because her facial expression changed from business to confusion to realization in about two seconds.

"Oh, is this the girl you told me about?" she asked me and I couldn't help but turn red at her stupid question.

Heather only smiled as I died a little from embarrassment.

"We met at Slice a few months ago," Heather stated glancing over at Victoria.

Her eyes widened and then she shot me her signature smile that meant she was up to something.

"Oh okay well Hannah was just about to go on her break so she can take whatever order you have and you two can catch up," she smiled as she spoke to Heather.

"But I…" I began but was interrupted by Victoria. "I have to get back to the front. Hannah, take the girl's order already."

She walked away leaving me alone with the breath taking blonde I had only hoped and prayed to see again.

"Well long time no see," I said breaking the silence.

She smiled and my heart might have skipped a beat, "True, but I did keep my promise."

And in that moment, I knew she wasn't a player and she wasn't like all the rest because she was right, she hadn't broken her promise.
