A/N: Hi! I am so sorry this took so long, but school has been literally eating up all my time. Hopefully that is enough until I write something that is not just a filler chapter :)

Chapter 2

Unexpected Coffee

I woke up. The weight of reality hit me at once and suddenly I felt conscious again. Do you know these moments? Right after you wake up, but before you know you're awake? The thin line between dreams and reality? That somewhat different world, the border between the two worlds we already know? A no-mans-land, where humans make a passage. These are the most precious moments to me. I don't know why, but these moments are the moments where I feel the most content and calm. I think partially because you are awake, but you are not still aware of all the troubles of today. Those few moments of holy bliss, they are the most wonderful few moments. And then it hits you at once. Every last detail of tomorrow and today and of yesterday. I don't necessarily mean it in a bad way. To me, waking up every morning and remembering everything that has been happening in my life is almost as wonderful as those few blissful moments of almost being awake. I still ask myself have I just been dreaming a very long and beautiful dream, but I was not. My dreams were finally coming true. After all this time of working and progressing towards them, they were finally being brought to life. To my life.

I opened my eyes. The morning London sun was poking through my window shades and I wondered what awfully good deed someone had done, so London was getting such weather. I felt a smile creep on my face and I left it there contently. I stretched my arms and got the duvet off of myself. The coldness hit my heated body and I winced, but never took that little smile off my face. After getting used to the temperature of my flat, I got up and went towards the bathroom, letting the thoughts in my head roam freely.

After last week's first radio show, in which I almost did not help at all, it has been the most magical and overwhelming week of my entire life. Internship at Radio 1 gave me so many opportunities. From meeting Dan and Phil that night, with whom I have been on best terms out of the whole Radio 1 crew, to Jameela Jamil and Huw Stephens (who thankfully did not recollect me gawking and staring at him in the lobby that first day) to even Scott Mills! It was definitely the most astounding and chaotic weeks of my life. But I enjoyed every last bit. I stepped out of the shower with a towel wrapped around my body and went to my room to find some clothes. I was longing for a nice, fancy coffee and I was planning on going to the nearby Starbucks. It was only 5 minutes away from my building, which I both loved and hated, because I could go there every morning and drink freshly made Starbucks, but my wallet was not the most content. Anyhow I couldn't stop myself. I threw some blue skinny jeans and a baggy, long-sleeve, cream white, ice-cream jumper on. I put my hair in a messy tail and sprayed myself with the tiniest amount of perfume. I didn't bother with make up, I never really did. Make up was never my thing. What is weird with me, is that I love make up, but only the products themselves. Not on me and not on other people as well. I never liked girls who wore a lot of make up, and i only wore it on special occasions. But I still loved the make up itself. I never really could justify that in my head. I hurried to my living room. I opened the window and let the morning breeze bring the fresh cool air inside. The sun rays gently made the room glow. I grabbed my wallet and checked for my money inside. I nodded my head yes, as if to reassure myself I have enough for a coffee frappucino. I looked myself up in the mirror in my little improvised corridor, put on a smile on and headed out towards Starbucks.

Once in, the girl at the till recognized me once more. After all I had been going there every morning for the past week. I smiled widely and waved at her.

"Good morning! What is it gonna be?" she asked in a friendly tone.

"Oh let me see.. uh, a coffee frappucino please!" I said laughing, as it was also the same drink I was getting every morning.

"Coming right away!" she giggled silently.

I smiled at her and waited, as she started preparing my drink. Then seemingly out of nowhere, I felt someone tapping my shoulder. I turned around startled, wondering who it could have been; I only moved here a month ago and I hardly knew anybody from around the neighborhood. When a warm and familiar smile looked down on me, I relaxed momentarily.

"Oh hi!" I said, realising it was Dan, I went in for a hug.

Me and Dan had actually become more close than you would expect, in the span of one week. After meeting on their first show, we had gone on a celebration dinner afterwards and we had gotten slightly drunk; something that could have ended badly, but we both seemed to have handled it very well. We talked and talked all night, sharing stuff about our lives. It's interesting how you meet someone, and you see them as they are, but there is so much you don't know about them and how they came to be that person you are seing in front of you. After that we had swapped numbers and we saw each-other at work a lot. We texted here and then and he seemed like the loveliest person you could ever meet! Same goes for Phil as well, but it seemed to me I was strangely ggravitating towards Dan.

"Hi! What are you soing here?" asked Dan, while wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Oh I just came to grab myself a coffee. I've been coming here every morning for the past week, it's getting ridiculous at this point! But I can't help it, i live so closely nearby, and it's so alluring I can't resist the temptation! And what about you?" I asked smiling up at him. He was a lot taller than me, I actually had to proper look up to talk to him, which I found very funny for some reason.

"Same with me, just came to grab me a coffee, but oh my God you live nearby? Mine and Phil's appartment is just over there." he said pointing to a flat on the second floor in the building across from Starbucks. My mouth opened agap.

"Oh my God! That's so awesome! I live like a block away from here! And I only moved because of this whole internship thing! That is some coincedence!" I exclaimed, genuinly excited. He laughed and I laughed along, feeling a strange sensation of joy spread through out my limbs. I pushed it aside though.

"Do you wanna come and sit with me? I'm alone anyways, Phil is at the hairdresser's."

"Of course! Just let me get my coffee." I said turning and looking at the girl who was just finishing my frappucino.

After I got it, we went and sat together on the little table for two in the right hand corner of the cafe. Tha table was right next to the big glass screen and we could see the busy London streets outside. We sat there all morning, just talking, like we always did. It felt as though time passed by so quickly when I was talking to him.

"Do you wanna come over? You can finally prove to me your legendary Skyrim skills. Plus I won't be bored until Phil comes back. What do you say?" Dan offered, gulping down the last remaints of his coffee.

"Uhm.. Yeah sure, why not?" I agreed, drinking the leftovers of mine. I kind of wanted to see his appartment. Ask me why and I've got no answer. Like I said, I just felt like I was gravitating towards him for some unknown reason. And I wasn't complaining.

We stood from our table and went outside, crossing the road and going into the building where their flat was located. I couldn't help but feel startled at how the closer we got to his flat, the more butterflies I felt inside my tummy. I kept on rambling to him, but I wasn't paying attention. My mind was focused on the strange tingling sensation rapidly spreading through my body. That's completely strange, what the hell is happening to me?! What was I expecting?

A/N: Yes, yes I know, how cliche! A white girl meets her friend/a stranger in Starbucks they sit down together and they fall in love. Well I couldn't exactly resist, the idea is so romantic! Don't judge me. Reviews will be greatly appreciated! xx
