Brian and Rachel walked into the coffee shop and sat down at a table. They both ordered mochas and sipped them quietly. Rachel caught brian staring at her in between sips.

"What?" Rachel asked as she set her cup down.

"Hmm?" Brian said as he snapped out of his trance.

"You were staring at me."

"I was? Oh, sorry I was just...thinking."

"I see," Rachel said with a nod and a smirk.

"Hey, have you ever been to the beach?"

Rachel shook her head. "No, why do you ask?"

"Well, everyone is going tomorrow afternoon. You wanna come?"

"Sure, it'll be fun," Rachel said with a smile.

Brian looked at her and smiled. He loved her smile. It seemed to lighten up the whole room. Her brown hair draped over her shoulders perfectly in his eyes. He watched her as she took a sip of her drink. I wonder what it would be like to kiss her. Wait a minute B-Rok get a hold of yourself. You've only known this girl for a week.

"Brian, you're staring again," Rachel said with a grin.

Brian blushed. "Sorry," he said.

"What's with you tonight? Why do you keep staring at me?"

"I wasn't staring," Brian denied.

"Then what were you doing?"

"Admiring," Brian said shyly.

Rachel blushed. "There's nothing here to admire."

Brian looked deeply into her eyes and grabbed her hand. "There's more there than you think."

"Thank you," Rachel said shyly.

"Anytime," Brian said with a warm smile.

"You wanna go somewhere else tonight?" Rachel asked, trying to change the subject.

Brian smiled. "Well, we could go to your place and watch a couple of movies."

"Why my place? Why not yours?"

"More privacy at yours."

"But I don't have any movies."

"So we'll rent some," Brian said as he stood up. "Come on, let's go to the video store," he said as he held out his hand.

Rachel took his hand and they went to Brian's BMW. The two of them drove to the video store and rented "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Dumb and Dumber." When they got to her apartment, the two of them settled down on the couch.

"What do you want to watch first?" brian asked.

"Dumber and Dumber. Jim Carrey is da bomb!" Rachel said with a laugh.

Brian smiled. "Finally a girl who agrees with me," he said as he popped in the movie.

He sat next to Rachel and the two of them laughed at the movie. When the movie was over Brian got the next movie out.

"Wait, don't start the movie yet. I wanna change my clothes. I'll be right back."

"Okay I'll wait," Brian said as he sat back down on the couch.

A few minutes later Rachel came out wearing blue jogging pants, UCF sweatshirt and her hair pulled back in a bun. She sat back on the couch next to Brian.

"Okay I'm ready," Rachel said.

"Great," Brian said then pushed the play button on the remote.

Rachel wasn't into the movie much. She was into watching Brian. She studied his features. His eyes were an unusual color of blue, like she had ever seen before. She liked how his face was square and you could see his jaw bones. Gosh, I've never seen someone so good looking in my life. I can't believe I've had a crush on him for so long and now I'm sitting on the couch next to him, Rachel thought. She noticed Brian turning his head so she quickly looked away. She felt him grab her hand. Rachel's heart began to melt. I can't believe he's holding my hand. I am so lucky.

Brian's eyes were on the screen, but his mind was somewhere else. Man, why do I have to like her so much when I barely know her? This is confusing. I've never met someone like her before. She's everything I've ever wanted in a girl. He looked at her. The way she looked made it tempting for him to put his arms around her. Brian sighed and watched the rest of the movie.

The movie had ended and Rachel look over at Brian. Brian smiled shyly.

"So what do you want to do now?" Brian asked.

Rachel smiled and put in a Brian McKnight CD in the CD player. "I've got an idea," she whispered.

"What's that?" Brian asked quizzically.

"I'll show you," Rachel said as she moved closer to him.

Slowly their lips brushed and they began to kiss. Brian put his hands on her waist while Rachel ran her fingers through his hair. The two of them remained kissing for a few more minutes then Rachel laid in Brian's arms. Brian kissed her on the top of her head. The two of them lay there in silence and enjoyed each other's embrace.
