Chapter Text
You wake up, get yourself together enough to go get coffee and possibly start your day right or at least make it better.
You open the door of your normal coffee shop, get your coffee and can't seem to stay awake as you sit at a table and fill out paperwork for work. “Bad day?” a deep voice says behind you. Without looking up you chuckle “that's an understatement” you keep working on your computer without knowing the man was still standing beside you.” Is this seat taken, your eyes dart up to see a tall brown headed man with coffee brown eyes standing there.
“Um no sit.. Please ,sorry I've had a rough morning, still trying to wake up.” you said with a light chuckle trying to lighten the mood of the conversation. “ I understand this is the first day I have off of work in a while. I don't know what to do with myself.” “Believe me I wish I was in your shoes."
You've never seen this man before but you oddly feel as if you had known him as an old college friend. “Any suggestions on what to do in Tulsa '' his voice sounds soothing compared to the roughness of every other person's voice toward you. He had a caring and interested tone in his voice that reflected off of his voice when he spoke to you. “ I spend most of my time at the park, but there are escape rooms and all kinds of things downtown.”
The way he sits there listening and talking to you makes you feel seen and valuable. He has a strange hold on your feelings in this situation but you don't mind. “I like the park idea. Do you know a good one? I'm new to Oklahoma.” “ oh ya there's one like two blocks from here“ you give him the directions to the park and he stands to leave “Thank you for talking to me and thanks for the ideas i'm gonna check them out” he nods and starts to leave but you don't want him to leave.
“Hey um…” you get up and lightly grab his arm. “ I'm actually going to that park. Do you want to come with me ” he looked at you with a surprised look and gave a small smirk, “I would like that.”
As we walk to the park his hand slightly grasses against the back of mine. A small shiver was sent through your body.
You get to the park and sit on a shaded bench under a tree where you can see the whole park. “So what do you do for a living “, “Oh, I write scripts for Tv shows and movies and I also write books" He looks surprised at your answer and raises his eyebrows.
“Working on anything interesting?” You looked at him with a sly smirk. “Well it's confidential so, If I told you I would have to kill you.” He laughs at your comment “What, you don't trust a complete stranger you met twenty minutes ago, come on you can trust me.”
You could get in a lot of trouble for telling him what it's about, but you feel like you can trust him. “It's called Pieces, but no one is supposed to know so don’t say anything.” he put his hand over his heart and raised his other one in the air. ”I swear on my life” he makes you chuckle. “What do you do for work?” “I'm a travel blogger,” he said with such mystery in his voice. “ I'm here for about a year, my boss wants me to get familiar with the area.” That's so amazing “ you sat there both entranced in each other's gaze.
Suddenly his phone rang.”I'm sorry I need to take this.” He steps away as you admire his form, you chuckle to yourself the way he stands with one hand on his hip with his knee popped out. He walks back over to you and sets back down with a sigh.
“That was my boss. He's in town and needs to talk over lunch but I wanted to ask if you wanna go out sometime before I leave.” Of Course I would love that” you may have said it a bit too eagerly by the look on his face.”How about Friday?” you started to say yes but you remember you have to go to the set for casting and a party after that. “I'm sorry I can't , but I would love to some other time.” “how about I just get your number and i'll text you” you exchange phones so you can put in each other's information.
“Ill see you bye” “bye” as he walks away you look at his contact, realising that you never asked his name the whole time. “Dieter”
