L.A. Dream. Life is a Story - story.one

'I'm so sorry...' I start as I look up and realise who it is as the man turns around to face me.

'Oh, hi.' My voice sounds strange and high-pitched, but I cant believe my eyes. It is him. The guy from Starbucks. The one I ran into twice now. Literally. How embarrassing. He must believe me to be a total spas; if he even recognises me. But the guy immediately starts smiling.

'Hi. Thats a surprise.'

'Yeah. We should stop meeting like this.'

We both start laughing and I start to feel like myself again. He is just a guy after all. No need to be self-conscious. The man holds out a hand to me and says, 'Well, I kind of like it.'

What if one run in with a stranger and a spilled coffee cup could turn your whole life upside down? Talia was never big on 'socialising' and liked to keep to herself until one day running into a very handsome guy and spilling some very hot coffee all over herself helped her realise that there may be more to life than she thought.
