Beginning of A Sirens Song

     I stared into my finger printed bathroom mirror as I combed out my long wet hair. My mind drifted to another place. I actually had a date with one of the most gorgeous men i had ever laid my eyes upon. We met just this afternoon in the Black Rose, my favorite coffee shop.

     As soon as he walked through the door his electric blue eyes bore into mine. I was hooked immediately. He looked up at me through the blue streak in his se of black hair. A half smirk danced playfully across his plump lips. My breath caught in my chest. His mere beauty was inhuman. Was he smiling at me?
  "Excuse me miss? Are you gonna order?" The woman behind the counter woke me from my trance.
   
   "Ah yah, sorry, large pumpkin latte please." I began to shuffle through my bag for my wallet.

    "Make that 2 please." Mr. blue eyes said from behind me, handing the woman cash. "It's on me. Hi, my name is Leighton." He reached  his hand out to me.

    "Hello, I'm Scarlett." I felt heat rush to my cheeks. I could tell how red I was by the way he chuckled to himself.

    "Would you like to join me at a table?" Leighton gave me a nervous look, his confidence rang through strong though.

    "I would love that but I am actually late for work." It was always, all work and no play for me.
 
    I meet a man this devastatingly gorgeous and I choose work over having coffee with him. I laughed and quietly reprimanded myself.

   "Well then I guess I will have to take you to dinner tonight." Leighton flashed me a flirty smile.

      I was completely shocked. I hadn't even thought of dating or men in years. Leighton's immediate interest in me took me by complete surprise.

   "So is that a no?" Leighton looked down at me with sad eyes.

  "Oh sorry. Absolutely, I would love that." A nervous giggle escaped my lips.

   Leighton handed me a card. "Here's my cell number. Send me your address and I'll pick you up around 7pm. I know this great Italian place around the corner."

  I will never forget watching him walk out that door. The way the light his his skin made him look like perfect porcelain.
