Yesterday couldn't been more... odd I guess. Even though I got roses, I have this weird feeling it could've been someone I know from somewhere. After all, I do look pretty at times (depends on how I feel). I am just like a rose that is waiting for its midnight bloom with dew drops on the petals glistening in the moon's light.

      At my job, I was serving people lattes and coffees then at an odd moment, I saw someone I can recognize. It was Devin staring at me and giving his flirtatious smile that swept my breath away. The flustering emotions I had suddenly made me spill the fresh hot brown liquid in a cup down my legs (I was wearing shorts at that day) and I felt it burn with the heat. Then, Devin came to help me out by cleaning the spill with a napkin and hand me a small bag of ice to cool the burn.

   "Thanks," I said shyly smiling at him and sigh with embarrassment.

  "Anytime, beautiful" he responded and smiled, "What is your name?"

  "My name is Violet. Violet Maroon," I responded not even noticing that I was blushing.

  "Ah, you were the girl I helped out after you were pushed down the stairs. Are you alright now?" He said.

  "Yeah, it was just minor bruising." I said, but I knew it was once again a lie. I did end up being badly bruised.

  "Well, I have to get going now, Violet. Here is my number if you ever wanna talk to me," he said smiling and handing a piece of paper with his number.

  "Will do. Here's my number." I said as I wrote down my number on a piece of napkin since there wasn't paper anywhere.

After saying goodbye to Devin, my heart somehow skipped a beat and I continued working that night. Why would a guy ever give me his number? Like, whoa. First off, it could've been some joke or some blind love set up.

"Well, who is the lucky guy?" Said a co-worker.

"He's just some popular guy at my school who wanted my number and helped me out." I said trying not to hide how I felt.

"He seems to like you, Violet." She said.

I quickly blush and denied what my friend said about Devin. The thoughts of him was just out of a sudden... it was like a deer in the headlights during the calm autumn evening with a fresh breeze. Just when I knew, something suspicious was going on between me and Devin.
