Isabella loved one thing about being her own boss. She could choose her own days to go and when not to go to work and this was one of those days. Her sister was off at work. Aww,the poor thing...Isa usually never got a lot business during this time of the day so she thought it was a good of a time as ever to go to a local cafe and get a good lunch in. Possibly work on some designs for the shop and possibly catch up on a couple of readings. Isa had woken up that morning feeling a bit brighter than usual. She could understand why. She hadn't been bothered by her sister in a couple of days. In fact,the house was quiet and she appreciated that. Isa got out of bed and hoped into a nice warm shower. She took a half an hour as she changed into a corset top that tied in the front with a pair of bell bottom jeans with a pair of dark black high heels. She styled her hair in the wavy fashion today with a bunch of hair spray in it. Soon as she grabbed her notebook and a book she had been reading and she was out of the house.

Isa had slipped down to the parking lot where her car was parked. She dished out the keys from her purse and slipped into her red car,Isabella turned the car on and turned on the radio to listen to some music. Isa then drove to the cafe that she was going to,she knew of a good one that she always went to. It was some place quiet. Away from the hustle and bustle of it all,a place where she could draw and read quietly to herself. Occasionally when she went there,there was casual person that came up to talk to her which she didn't mind at all. A girl could use some company after all. Someone could go crazy without a good conversation. Granted she hadn't had a good conversation in a long time but hell,she could use one every once and a while of course.

Before long,Isabella showed up at the cafe. She stepped out of her car,her notebook and purse on her shoulder. Isa had walked into the cafe and asked for a table outside where there was a lot of shade. A waiter guided her to a nice table in the corner outside. Isabella smiled and thanked him before sliding into the chair. When being asked what she would like,she ordered a light iced tea and a club sandwich. Her favorite food. Isa then waited until the waiter walked off until she began to read her book. She was going to be here a while....

It had been a long night, and even longer morning. Keith had been assigned to finish a job that took any normal person typically 3 months. But he was required to do it in a week. So to get a jump-start, he worked through the night. He could do it, he was one of the best, but he was only human (well, visually human).

He was working on only 3 hours of sleep today. He needed a boost, so he decided to stop at a local cafe. When he arrived, he saw a young woman reading a book. As he opened the door, the book caught his eye. It was James Maxey's most recent book, Dragonseed. He smirked as he entered the cafe.

Isabella was deeply involved in reading her book,it was a recent favorite of hers and a loyal customer of her shop said it was really good but she hadn't understood the novel at all...so she read it once and she read it twice so in all knowledge upon her third time reading the book and she was starting to get why she was recommended it. It was good! Hell,it was better than that Twilight book that others had suggested. Not that she read them,she just said she did. It was for business. Others could understand that part of her business life. That was another trouble with her,she never usually had anything to talk to others about. She just flirted and did her job...that was it. It was not a very exciting life. Isa liked to believe she could do something exciting. Different,unexpected....hell,something that was unlike her! She would like to surprise even herself. Isa just wasn't sure what.......

Moments later,a waiter came by with her drink and she stopped reading for a little while. Resting her eyes for a little. Isabella then took her drink in her hand as she gently sipped a few drops of it every minute or so,looking around at the cafe,sighing a bit to herself. Usually she liked sitting alone in the cafe sometimes but she was just bored now. Of course she had her book but was that even enough for her? She guessed not...

Keith walked up to the counter and purchased the usual mix of coffee beans that he found both uplifting and encouraged - he didn't understand what caused it, nor had the interest in learning. As he turned to leave, he noticed the girl reading the book again. Immediately, he sensed that she was troubled. Her face showed interest in the book, but her eyes saying something completely different. They looked as if they longed for more. "What do I care?" Keith thought to himself, and he began to walk out the door.

As he pushed open the door, the girl somehow caught his eye again. She still had that look, happiness, but lacking content and fulfillment. He knew that feeling all too well, his many projects left him feeling the same way.
He hesitated for a minute, debating what to do next. He couldn't possibly go talk to her. What if he embarassed her, or himself? But deep inside he knew what he was going to do from the start.

Keith casually walked over and introduced himself to the young lady. The changed look in her eyes told him that he made the right choice.
