readers pov :
i've been sitting in this small italian cafe for hours now, i've been trying to get motivation to finish a drawing of mine but i simply can't. "order for stefani" one of the baristas call out, i see a blonde haired woman walk up to the counter and grab her order. she's wearing a grey crop top that shows off her perfectly toned stomach, i couldn't help but look. she makes her way to a small table next to mine, as she was doing so she brushed by me and her perfume filled my senses, she smelled sweet but also salty and i liked it, a lot.
the longer i sit here the more i start to realise that the woman to my left looks very familiar, i just can't put my finger on where i've seen her.
a small sigh leaves my lips as i stare at the unfinished sketch in front of me, i just don't know what to do. i keep looking outside the window and around the shop just waiting for something to catch my eye and something definitely did catch my eye, that blonde woman's perfect side profile is what i always end up looking at, her features are so perfect i need to draw her.
her nose is so beautiful, i just want to run my finger down it. i realised i've been staring at her for way too long so i get back to drawing but when i look back up at her for a reference she's already looking at me, fuck. i quickly avert my eyes back down to my sketchbook and continue drawing, when i was looking at her before i noticed she had a small beauty mark next to her right eye so i quickly drew that on before i forgot. the screeching of a chair moving made me look up and to my surprise she was walking towards me, dragging the chair along with her. "hey" she says as she places the chair at the edge of the table "hi" i reply, she sits down in the backwards facing chair, her arms resting along the back of it "are you drawing anything interesting?" she motions towards my sketch pad "um i guess you could say that" i chuckle diverting my eyes from hers, this is so awkward she's gonna see i was drawing her "can i see?" she asks "please" she adds on a few seconds later "uh sure" i hand my book to her, i take a sip of my iced coffee to try and calm my nerves "is this me?" she raises her eyebrows "yeah it is, i'm sorry if it seems weird or anything i-" before i could finish my sentence she cuts me off "oh no no it's not weird at all, i've had plenty of people draw me before" she laughs as she hands me back my book, our fingers brushing ever so slightly "it looks really good" she smiles "thank you" i say back "look i'd really love to chat and let you finish your drawing but i've got a super busy schedule" she chuckles before standing up "oh yeah no problem at all" i smile at her "it was really nice meeting you" she says before putting the chair back where it belonged and walking towards the door, fuck i wish i got her number. i watch her as she pulls the door open, she takes a step outside but then stops in her tracks and makes her way back over to me "can i borrow your pencil for a sec?" she asks "yeah yeah of course" i hand her my slightly cracked pencil, she takes my sketchbook and says "don't give this to anyone alright" she looks up at me as she writes something in my book "yeah alright" i watch as she quickly writes something down and places my book and pencil gently on the table "bye, again" she says before walking away "bye" i manage to get out. i look down at my sketchbook to see her phone number with the name stefi and a heart written in the corner of the page, underneath it says
'i'm sorry i had to go so soon, i hope we can meet up again so you can finish this beautiful drawing and maybe even make some more'
the thought of going out with her made my stomach flutter, i think i've caught feelings for a girl i don't even know. oh my god.
.
this sucks omg but leave some requests and i'll hopefully get around to doing them :)
