Angela P.O.V.

I straightened my suit and went inside the best cafe in New York. Today, I am going to a business meeting which will start 11:00 later and I thought it would be nice to stop by the cafe. I called the waitress and ordered classic coffee. I took my phone out of my pocket and checked my emails. I was so focused on my phone that I didn't even realize that someone entered the cafe.

I looked at the door, when I heard the ladies quietly squealing and there I saw the most handsome man I have ever seen in my whole life. His hair was brown and styled nicely, his eyes were blue and he was wearing a suit that outlined his muscles. His face was emotionless, but he's still freaking HOT!

I looked back at my phone and tried so hard not to stare at him. I spared him a glance and saw that he was looking at me and was seating near my table. My heart was beating so fast and I could feel my blush heating up. Thank goodness that the waiteress saved me from an awkward position, by coming up to my table and serving me my order - classic coffee. " Ma'am your coffee" she said with a smile. " Thank you" and I returned the smile.

I slowly sipped my coffee while continuing checking my emails, when suddenly I sensed someone in front of me, I looked up and saw the handsome man smiling down at me. " Hey, nice to meet you.My name is Jace" he said. " Uhmmm hey nice to meet you too, I 'm Angela" I said with an awkward smile.

" A beautiful name for a beautiful lady" he said still smiling. I giggled softly. "Thank you" "So are you a tourist? Or here for business?" He asked as he took the seat in front of me. "I'm from London and I'm here for business." I answered him politely. Just then my phone beeped. I read the message and answered him. It was from my colleague saying that I need to go now." Speaking of work, I got to go. I'm so sorry."I said smiling apologetically and begun tidying my stuff. " Ohhh sure, maybe we can meet sometime?" He said in a form of a question. " Maybe, if I am free, I guess" I said to him. " Ohh of course" he said. I smiled at him and walked out of the cafe.

Jace P.O.V.

I was going to a meeting, but it was still half an hour early. So I decided to wait inside the cafe. When I entered I was amazed by the natural beauty of the lady in the suit. She was stunning. She was sitting alone in a table and was focused on her phone. I heard some ladies squealing softly, but I guess I was used to it. Then she looked at my way and my heart suddenly stopped beating for a while. I immediately looked elsewhere, acting like I was finding a table.

I picked a table near hers. Now I can smell her faint smell, it was now my favorite smell of all time. I didn't expect that she would spare me a glance, so I was caught red handed. Then out of the blue, I think she blushed and that made my heart pound all the more. Luckily, the waitress came and served her coffee and saved me from an awkward situation.

I observed her and noticed that she was focused on her phone again. What is in that stupid phone, that she couldn't take her eyes off of it.

What is happening to me?! I am freaking jealous of a PHONE! I guess this woman really has an affect on me.

And that was it, I couldn't help myself. I walked over to her and every step I take, the closer I got to her. And her scent is intoxicating me. " Hey, nice to meet you. My name is Jace" I said, not believing that I just did that. It was my first time going up to some stranger and introducing myself. " Uhmmm hey nice to meet you too, I'm Angela" she replied and I can't believe she did.

Then we talked and I can't believe she's so kind and good mannered. She's perfect. After talking with her I asked her if we can meet some other time and she said that we can meet, if she's free. But I guess that's fine with me, at least she didn't rejected it directly. Then she gave me the most precious smile I have ever seen and walked out of the cafe.

Then I suddenly remembered that I have not even eaten anything and even touched the menu, but I guess it was fine. Angela is much worth it than the food if I say so myself. After she walked out, I waited for 5mins so that I could get back to the real world and wake up from the best dream- with Angela in the future. But I will do everything to make that dream come true. Then I walked out and headed to the venue of the meeting.

From that moment I knew Angela was the woman that I would love and cherish. I would do everything for Angela. And I knew that I am already falling for her.

Angela P.O.V.

I walked over to my colleague. " Hey, Jane let's go to the venue together". " Ohh Angela, okay let's go".

We walked together to the venue and when we were close to the venue, I suddenly said to Jane " Jane, you go ahead, I am just going to the restroom". " Ok then ". I walked to the restroom and reapplied my lipstick. After finishing my make up I walked back to the venue and was a little shocked to see that Jace was there!

I walked over to Jane and noticed that she was squealing. " What's happening?" I asked her. " OMG, are you serious Angela!? HE'S HERE!!" "Who's here?" " Jace Lyndon Willams IS HERE! THE MULTIMILLIONAIRE AND HE'S ALSO ONE OF THE TOP 5 RICHEST BACHELORS!!" " Ohhh" I murmured to myself. Then she giggled, I guess she heard me.

I spared a glance to Jace and saw that he was smiling at me. I returned the smile, when suddenly the meeting started, so I focused on it instead of Jace.

After the meeting......

" Angela, I'll go ahead. Bye". " Ohhh okay, byeee Jane". Then I was all alone outside the venue. Just then, Jace came up to me " Hey Angela I didn't expect to meet you here" " Hi Jace, I also didn't expect it" " So your going home or to a hotel?" " Ohhh no, I was going to the cafe, to just chill I guess" " Ohhh let me accompany you, I was going there anyway". " Of course"

In the cafe......

"So your Mary Angela Whites, the only heiress to the Shinning Star Company and also one of the top 5 gorgeous ladies in London. WOW, I can't believe you are sitting in front of me right now" He smirked and my heart was pounding, he was gorgeous when smirking. " Hmmm, yeah I'm Mary Angela Whites, but YOU are Jace Lyndon Willams, the top 5 richest bachelors in New York and also the only heir of the Flaming Sun Company, And now you are sitting in front of me and also talking to me right now!!! Can you believe THAT " I said with a teasing smile.

" Yeah, I can believe it! I feel very honored right now, talking to Mary Angela Whites" He replied. I giggled softly " Your funny, I am the one who's honored" I smiled. " So can we be friends?" He asked me. I was a bit shocked " uhh- umm, a- are" " it's fine if you don't want to" " Uhhhh no, Iwas just shocked that you want to be my friend." " Huh, why would you be shocked?" He asked me.

" It's just that I don't really have many friends and I don't even have a single male friend and I was just--- I don't know - shocked that you want to be friends with me" I said as I lowered my head a little. He lifted my chin with his thumb and index finger. " Then I will be your first male friend Angela" he smiled at me. " Thank you Jace". I smiled and I didn't expect myself to hug him. I stand from my seat and HUGGED HIM! O GOSH ANGELA WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!, my mind said.

Jace P.O.V.

Is this really happening, my mind asked. I was really shocked when she suddenly hugged me, but I got over it and hugged her back. I put my arms around her and returned her hug. " I- I'm sorry" she said pulling away from the hug. " Sorry I just got carried away" she added. " It's fine Angela, you don't have to be sorry" . She giggled and went back to her seat. Then her phone rang. " I got to get this call , excuse me" " ohhh of course" she smiled at me before she answered. Oh her smile, I could stare at her smile all day, she is really making an affect on me.

Then I heard her say " Hey babe, what is it?". DOES SHE HAVE A BOYFRIEND OR SOMETHING??!, my mind and heart spoke at the same time. After 10 mins. she came back. "So does your parents know about him?" I asked her, I can't believe I just said that. " Huh, what do you mean?" " I mean him, your boyfriend" " What? Boyfriend? I don't understand." " The one who called you, the caller, your boyfriend." Then she starts laughing. I was so confused. "What did I say something funny?" I was recalling everything I said to her.

After she pulled herself together, she said " I am so sorry, it's not what you think, I don't have a boyfriend" after hearing that I felt very relieved. " So who were you calling?" " It was just my best friend, Aesha. We call each other babe, baby, love , sweetheart, honey, cutie, and many more and of course our names. " " Ohhhh" " Of she calls me baby, then I also need to call hear baby. It's already like our own rule. You know how girls are- sometimes their weird" "

" I was just shocked" She giggled. " Yeah if I was in your place, I would also be shocked and confused" She smiled at me again. " So let's just use this time to know each other" I said to her. " Ohh yeah, sure. That would be great! I would really want to know more about about my new friend or should I say Jace Lyndon Willams". " Shhhhhh, keep quiet, if you don't want women flocking us" I joked.

" Oh yeah I almost forgot" she said smirking.

We spent the rest of the afternoon knowing more about each other. Then we decided to meet every time we are free from our busy schedules. After chilling and talking for the whole afternoon, we decided that it's time to go. " Bye Gela, see you next time " I smiled and hugged her as we stand on the side of her car. " Bye lynd, see you the next time" she hugged me back before getting inside her car.

We decided to give each other nicknames. I call her " Gela" from Angela and she calls me "Lynd" from my second name Lyndon. I like it very much. I am really hoping to see her again next time. I went home took a shower and went to bed, but I can't sleep. Angela's face keep flashing in my mind. I just stared at the ceiling until sleep overcame me. Good night Mary Angela White. Good night Gela.
