Ashley’s POV:
“Mom, mom. Ugghh MOM PLEASE! I really need to go now! I’m going to be late for my shift at work if you don’t let me hang up!” I exasperatedly yelled into the receiver.
“Alright, alright! Fine go to work. Be safe. I Love You sooooo much baby girl!” my mom sighed defeated.
“Thank you, I Lo-“
“Oh and Ash do yourself a favor –and me – and get yourself a boyfriend!” she yelled cutting me off before the line went dead.
“-ve you too.” I mumbled to no one. I sighed and grabbed my bag and headed out the door of my apartment. “Hello, Mrs. Robinson.” I smiled to my elderly neighbor.
“Oh Hello dear! Have a nice time at work and stay safe!” she replied in her always chipper motherly way.
“I will and you too!” I yelled to her as I started jogging down the stairs of our apartment building.
Mrs. Robinson lived across the hall and two doors down from me and was the sweetest old lady you could ever meet. She was also in very good health for her age and Mr. Robinson and her were the happiest couple I have ever seen. The two of them were made for each other and were one of the rare pieces of evidence that soul mates and true love are tangible things. They gave me hope that maybe someday I could meet someone and grow old with him like Mr. and Mrs. Robinson.
When I reached the bottom of the stairs and walked out into the Boston air I started down the street in the direction of Maggie’s {A/N made up store. I’m not from Boston so IDK any names} where I worked. I smiled to myself as I walked. How could I get so lucky as to live in Boston, as a junior at Boston College, in my own apartment, have great friends, and be perfectly happy single? Almost everything was going according to plan and I loved it. I could not wait to graduate next year and start my career in interior design.
I was almost at work when I managed to slip on one of the few patches of ice left over from the freak mid-October winter storm we had a few days ago. I fell backwards but was surprisingly caught by someone. I looked up into the most gorgeous eyes I had ever seen and was just caught up in his eyes while he held me practically upside down. I snapped out of it and started to stand up. “Thank you for that I’m pretty umm clumsy and everything so…” I was pretty much at a loss for words as I looked up at him. God he was so gorgeous! He was just looking down at me looking a little shocked before he replied “Ya uhh no problem. I guess it was good timing on both of us, huh?” he said adding a bit of a nervous laugh at the end. “I’m Tyler by the way.” He rushed sticking his hand out to me. I shook it and said “Ashley.” I was getting lost in his eyes again and all his other amazing facial features. My eyes traced over his lips and every deep laugh line in his adorable grinning smile before I realized I was still holding his hand and probably making myself seem like an idiot. I quickly released his hand and looked down feeling a bit of color creeping into my cheeks. “I better go now before I’m late for work, Carissa will kill me if I’m late. Thanks again.” I smiled and quickly turned around and crossed the street to Maggie’s before he could respond.
Tyler’s POV:
“DUDE WAKE THE HELL UP AND SHUT YOUR DAMN ALARM CLOCK OFF!!!!” yelled Freddy from his bedroom.
I groaned and rolled out of bed turning my annoying alarm off. I jumped into the shower and then got into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. When I got into the kitchen Freddy was sitting there on his phone and looked up when I came in. “Can you make me breakfast now?” he asked me.
“Did you seriously wait for me to get down here because you’re that lazy?” I inquired laughing.
“Well…you’re a better cook than me so I was just saving us both.” He countered with a grin.
“Whatever man.”
I made eggs and a protein shake for us both before feeding Marshall and heading out the door for practice. I decided that I would park a few roads away from TD Garden and walk the last bit so that I could go to some of the shops after practice and didn’t have to try to find a parking space later.
When I found a spot only a few blocks away from the Garden that was next to this clothing store named Maggie’s I parked, turned my car off, and got out. I quickly crossed the street and started my walk but I didn’t get far. This girl slipped on a patch of ice that I had nearly wiped out on and I put my arms out and grabbed her so she wouldn’t get hurt and I wouldn’t have to call 911. When I looked down at her my breath hitched. Her blue eyes were like oceans that you could get lost in forever and never drown and I didn’t want to look away. She started to stand up and I helped her but I couldn’t look away from her.
“Thank you for that I’m pretty umm clumsy and everything so…” she said, snapping me out of my trance a bit and I realized I had probably been staring at her like a creep and yet it still took me a moment before I said “Ya uhh no problem. I guess it was good timing on both of us, huh?” before laughing nervously at the end. Oh god I can’t even talk around her. “I’m Tyler by the way.” I said rushing and sticking my hand out to her flashing my best smile that I could muster in an attempt to cover my embarrassment. She shook my hand and replied, “Ashley.” I was trying to memorize her every feature from her brown hair with natural gold and red highlights to her adorable nose down to her plump red lips. The fact that she was only wearing mascara and some lip gloss only let her natural beauty make her glow. Suddenly she dropped my hand and said, “I better go now before I’m late for work, Carissa will kill me if I’m late. Thanks again.” before crossing the street and entering Maggie’s leaving me staring after her speechless and lonely.
