Kevin walked into the book store where Sarah worked. He looked around and she was no where in sight. "Excuse me, sir," Kevin asked a man. "Is Sarah working here today?"

"She won't be here for another few minutes," the man said.

"Oh okay," Kevin said. He bought a cappuccino from the cafe and sat a table. He waited for her.

About 30 minutes later Sarah came rushing through the door. "Am I late?" she asked her boss.

"Actually you're 30 minutes early."

Sarah groaned. "My watch must be wrong," she said as she set her purse down.

"There's a gentleman sitting over there for you. He's been waiting about a half an hour."

Sarah looked over and saw Kevin sitting at a table drinking his cappuccino. She walked over to him and sat at the table with him.

He looked up. "Hi," he said with a smile.

"Hi," she said shyly.

"How are you?"

"I'm okay. What about you?"

"I'm pretty good."

"Well, that's good. So, what are you doing here?"

"To see you," Kevin said straight faced.

"Me? Why me?"

"Because you're nice."

Sarah laughed softly. "You don't even know me."

"So change that. Tell me about you."

"What do you want to know?"

"Well, first of all do you have a boyfriend?"

Sarah hesitated for a moment then finally nodded. "My boyfriend's name is Keith."

"How long have you two been together?"

"Well, I've know him since 8th grade but we didn't start going out until my junior year and I'm 21 now."

"That's a long time."

"Yeah," said Sarah. "It is."

"So, are you from around here?" Kevin asked as he took another sip of his cappuccino.

"Well, I grew up in Oregon, but I moved down here to be with Keith," Crystal said flatly.

"You don't sound too happy about it."

"No, I'm happy about it," she said quickly. Kevin raised his eyebrows and nodded. "What?"

"Nothing," Kevin said innocently.

"You don't believe that I'm happy do you?"

"I never said that. So other than your boyfriend what else can you tell me about you?"

"Well, I'm really into art and music."

"So am I. What kind of music do you like?"

"I like all kinds. It just depends on my mood. I'm also a dancer."

"Oh really? Maybe we could go clubbing sometime?

"I really don't think that would be such a good idea."

"Why not? It's just two friends going out and having fun."

"I guess," Sarah said half heartedly.

"What about movies?"

"I like all kinds of movies, but my favorite would have to be My Best Friend's Wedding. What about you?"

"Well, right now I like anything but Jim Carey movies." Sarah laughed. "I'm serious because Brian watches them all the time. It gets old after a while."

Sarah laughed again then caught Kevin staring at her. "What?"

"Nothing," Kevin said with a smile.

"You were staring."

"Oh, sorry I just couldn't help noticing how pretty your eyes are"

Sarah blushed and laughed nervously. "Thanks."

"So you and this Keith guy, are you two serious?"

"Well, it depends on what you mean by serious."

"I mean, like are you two engaged."

Sarah gave him a shocked look. "No, we're not engaged."

"Then how serious are you?"

"Pretty serious I guess."

"Do you love him?"

"What?" Sarah said, half scared.

"I said. . .do you love him?" Kevin said in a horse whisper.

"I don't think--"

"Just answer my question."

"I. . .I. . . I really should get to work," Sarah said as she got out of her seat and walked behind the counter. Kevin followed her.

"Are you gonna answer my question or not?"

Sarah grabbed some books and headed to the shelves. "I don't have to answer that."

"Fine don't answer me. Look I gotta go. I'll see you later"

Kevin disappeared into the many bookshelves. Sarah thought he was gone so she continued to put the books on the shelves. Suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around and there stood Kevin.

"You know, you're gonna get me fired," she said.

"Go to dinner with me tonight."

Sarah chuckled. "Go eat dinner with you? You don't even know me."

"I don't have to," Kevin said as he stared deeply into her eyes.

"I have a boyfriend," Sarah said with one eyebrow raised.

"So we'll go as friends."

Sarah laughed at his persevereance. "You're very persistent aren't you?"

Kevin grinned. "Only to girls I like. So will you come to dinner with me? No better yet come to the concert tonight and we'll go to dinner afterwards."

Sarah smiled. "Okay I'll go to the concert and to dinner with you."

"Great," Kevin said. He handed her a backstage pass. "Show this to the bodyguard and they'll let you in the back way."

"Okay," she said as she took it from him.

"See you tonight," Kevin said then left.

Sarah took a deep breath and sighed. She smiled as she looked at the backstage pass. Sarah put the pass in her pocket and pick up some books and continued with her work.
