[Starting Post]

The rain dripping down the windows of Anastasia's apartment was new to Anastasia Kingsley. Having been born in the hot, dry state of New Mexico, Anna had barely any contact with the beautiful, cloudy skies of Seattle, or the cool, refreshing rain that constantly dripped down the tinted windows of storefronts and cascaded down the slanted rooftops of the few small houses that were squeezed between skyscrapers and office buildings. However, Anna did not hate the rain- she loved it. The cool, brushing sound of rain gently tapping against the window was soothing, calming. She was currently seated in an armchair with a mug of tea held in her hands, wearing a periwinkle blue sweater over a white tank-top and a pair of comfortable, warm leggings. Her sock covered feet were planted on the ground, rubbing against the soft grey carpet that covered her living room floor. She glanced over at the unfinished manuscript, sighing and pushing her thick-framed glasses up the bridge of her nose and leaning down slightly to put down the mug. Her soft brown hair fell down her shoulders in waves, tumbling down her back and her bangs briefly covering her soft blue eyes. Anna gently placed her fingers on the wrinkled pages with a slight frown, looking at it slightly. An aspiring author and a third-grade teacher wasn't the best job to have during times like these, where rapid inflation was causing prices to skyrocket- the value of the dollar diminishing, and yet her paycheck still the same. She stood up and slipped her feet into her shoes, grabbing her purse and umbrella with a faint scowl of determination on her face. This was a day she should be enjoying the park, not fretting over a book that wouldn't be published. Her keys jangling, Anna unlocked the door and closed it behind her, heading down towards the apartment garage and sliding into her car. Tapping her phone, she got directions to the nearest Starbucks- for hot chocolate, of course, she couldn't stand coffee- and set off.

A minute or so passed before she pulled into a space between two large trucks, her small car fitting neatly in the space between them. Backing up slightly to ensure her car wouldn't be hit by oncoming traffic (parking on the side of the road was always risky, especially with such a small car) she finally turned off the engine and stepped out to look up at the small Starbucks nestled underneath a large bank, twirling her keys slightly before pocketing them. Tugging at her white scarf slightly, Anna didn't open her umbrella- it was only a short few steps to the door of the Cafe- and walked into the shop, slightly startled by the sudden ringing of the bell and the quiet chatter of the dining patrons. Glancing around nervously for a moment, she stepped down the little steps and made her way over to the counter to order. She cleared her throat slightly before she approached the cashier to ensure that her voice wouldn't come out as a froggy croak and smiled slightly. "Hello." She greeted the cashier, who greeted her back with a faint smile of their own. "Could I have a grande hot chocolate with a couple pumps of vanilla?" She requested, taking out her wallet and fumbling slightly to take out her Debit Card. The cashier nodded and swiped the card for her, tapping in the order and gesturing for the next person in line to approach. Taking back her blue card, Anna tucked it back into her wallet and stood by the counter to grab her hot chocolate when they were finished making it. She checked her phone for the time, and pocketed it before picking up her hot chocolate and sipped at it, the hot liquid cooling down quickly before she swallowed. Smiling, Anastasia turned to sit down at one of the tables.

ahhh yea!! I’m going to make this guy so cute!!!!!! )

Anastasia just happened to accidentally sit down at a table where a rather handsome man sat. He had mixed colored eyes one green the other blue and wore black classy looking glasses, his hair brown with shades of black and highlight green and red here and there stood out a bit as he suddenly jumps a bit feeling the table move a bit. His tanned skin almost golden like the sweet Carmel many had with their lattes here, he had a laptop and some kind of drawing pad in front of him and as you can tell from the many empty cups of now gone hot chocolate ( he can’t stand the bitter taste of course always something sweet for him :3) stacked right by him. He stares at the girl for a second confused to the point of being... confused! He wasn’t the type to talk to girls let alone anyone!! He mentally panics a bit and tried to say something but how?!
Okay. Think Amator ( The Latin name has a rhythmic quality. The meaning of Amator is ‘one who loves’. ) a girl sat down in front of you by accident so.. I don’t know! Try talking to her or something.
He gulps a bit as he begins to speak up in a shy rather husky voice “ um ma’am... I ... was um...” he lost it! He can’t just say he was sitting there first it would be rude and he would most likely get smacked for it!
Why he was overacting well... he’s not a outside person and more of a inside guy at best. He’s a Animator and a part time singer along with other art like part time jobs. He’s skilled in many musical instruments but the only drawing thing he can do is animation, he loves paintings and would try to make one but.. it usually ends up horribly. Yet now even more than ever, he’s kinda pressed for time why? Because his manger for some bar wanted a animation that sounds good but the man’s idea... well he’s not a artist for a reason but the pays good and he’ll be able to help out his sister a bit who’s still in high school by now. It’s been a couple of years since they seen each other and still he wondered how she was doing however even if he asked he wouldn’t get a answer from his parents. He is a out cast after all but that doesn’t matter he gets paid a lot so he’s happy with life... until now. He felt like a damn fool talking to this random girl so he once again begins to take a deep breath and speak again. “ um .... If you want to talk at least let me have a name?” He asks rather shyly than he realized... he just used a line from one of his characters from a show he’s making the big bad boy flirt called Sasuke ( name still in development) now he blushes madly “ wait I didn’t mean it like that! As friends of course um... I’m Amator, you’ve... sat down on my table so I was wondering if you were perhaps a fan... or...” again this reason right here is why he doesn’t go out often. But he usually does when it rains. It always gives him a peaceful calming feeling especially when he’s feeling stressed he can always listen to the songs of the rain to calm him down. He smiles softly as he closes his laptop “ um... unless you just wanted the chair?” He asks once again shyly but more kind.
Little did this man know that this little encounter will be the start of a whole new adventure :3
