My mind fills with wondrous thoughts too heavy to carry.  A notebook filled with lost words that continue to be written in as long as my coffee is warm. Time doesn't exist, at least not tonight. A soft sound of a bell fills the deserted room as the cafe door opens. I glance over to a tall handsome man standing at the entrance. He's wearing a navy blue button-down dress shirt which fits into his perfectly sculpted body, he wore a leather jacket and black jeans. Our eyes met, and for a second I was suddenly paralyzed. I stared deep into his glistening green eyes, then quickly avert my attention back to my notebook as he makes his way over to my table.

I look up from my notebook to see him standing in front of me.

" Hello I'm new to London I've just moved here today from New York and decided to wander around town and have seem to have gotten myself lost"

He says nervously with a soft smile, his voice is deep and laced with mischief.

" Hi I actually am new to London as well I moved here a couple of months ago from New York I'm studying at oxford university if your lost I can try to help you find your way"

I say not entirely sure why I offered a stranger help in the dead of night. There just something about him, a feeling.

He pauses for a moment.

" Actually I think I'll stay and order a coffee, do you mind if I join you?"

" Not at all."

I say blushing.

After a couple of minutes he comes back with a coffee and sits on the opposite end of the booth.
