Melanie's POV

It started off as just an ordinary day. I woke up at around 10 in the morning and got ready for the day. Shortly after, I headed to the store to get some groceries. I lived with my older brother, Andrew, who hardly did any errands. I always had to do the chores while he just lazed around, surfing the Internet. He was such a pain. We lived off of money we received monthly from our parents. They decided to move away when our father found a better job in England three years ago. My brother and I live in California which is nice but I always wanted to visit England.

It took me about twenty minutes to drive to the store. When I had done most of my shopping, I reached up to the top of the shelf to get some of my favorite cereal, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and accidentally knocked down half a dozen boxes of cereal. I hurried to pick them up, feeling my face heat up from embarrassment. As I grabbed as many boxes as I could, I looked up to see another set of hands helping me. I muttered my thanks and glanced up to see the face of the good Samaritan. Of course it was a hot guy with the most beautiful eyes as blue as the ocean.

He gladly arranged the rest of the boxes for me since he was a good five inches taller than me, making it easier for him to reach the top of the shelf. I smiled gratefully at him and he said it was no problem. I spent the rest of the trip moving carefully, not wanting to cause anymore messes. I couldn't stop thinking of that guy. He was breathtaking. As I was packing the groceries in the trunk, I noticed the person owning the car next to mine was also putting their groceries away. I took a quick peak and noticed it was the same person who was helping me earlier. After I finished my packing and shut the trunk I lingered a little longer to see some more of the kind fellow. He had brown hair and wore a T-shirt with a pair of dark blue jeans. Something about him made him seem familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it.

I was about to get in my car when I saw movement in the corner of my eye. It was him. I stopped and turned to face him. I blushed thinking of how attractive he was so I tried to avoid looking him in the eyes.

"It must be fate. Here you are again." He said.

"Must be." I replied, not knowing what else to say.

"So I was thinking," he looked around, "What do you think about grabbing some coffee with me?"

I blushed. I couldn't believe it! He was asking me out! "S-sure," I stuttered. "When were you planning on this?"

"How about now?" He looked at me waiting for a response.

"I kind of have to take these groceries home, but you can call me later." I said with a smile.

"Oh, yeah, groceries. . . Well here's my phone, you can put your number in it." He held out his phone waiting for me to take it. "By the way, I never properly introduced myself. I'm Ian, what's your name?"

"My name is Melanie." I said, giving him his phone back. "It was a pleasure meeting you, Ian."

"No, the pleasure was all mine." He replied, smiling brightly. "I'll call you later." He half yelled as he started towards his car.

"Until then!" I was beaming, excitement filling me.

I couldn't believe it! I was going to go on a date!
