It all started with a coffee. A damn spilled coffee.

I was already in a rush and just wanted to grab a coffee real quick. But then one thing led to another and I spilled my coffee over someone.

I muttered a quiet 'sorry', my eyes were fixated on the ground, completely embarrassed. But when I heard her voice it was like my head lifted on its own and I was greeted with the most beautiful eyes and a smile out of this world.

It was a short interaction. Too short. I wanted to ask for her name, for anything—just so I would know who she was, but before I knew it, she excused herself with the warmest of smiles. And then she was gone.

I couldn't get her out of my head, but I didn't know how to find her either. I came to the coffee shop almost everyday before practice, in hope to see her again. But no trace of her.

I almost lost hope, until that one day—three weeks later.

I was in a rush. Again. Grabbed my coffee from the counter, turned around, but everything happened so quick and someone spilled their drink over me. I groaned in annoyance. I was already on edge that day, but right before I wanted to say something to that person, I stopped, frozen to the spot and my world stood still. And I felt like I had a deja vu, just with reversed roles this time.

She's here. Again.

I couldn't help but smile. Still the brightest and most beautiful eyes I have ever seen.

"You okay?" I asked her when she didn't say anything and she just nodded and mumbled a quiet 'sorry'.

My hand reached out and rested on her upper arm before I gave her a warm smile. "I'm Jordan, by the way."

"{{user}}," she said softly and I swear, her voice got me weak in the knees. Soft, almost angelic.

We talked for a little while. She didn't know who I was and it was kind of refreshing. I grabbed a pencil and a napkin from the counter and wrote my number down.

I held it out and for a second she looked confused, but then she smiled, took the napkin from my hand and I was done for.

Yup, absolutely and utterly a goner for this woman.

She texted me the moment she left the coffee shop that day. That's how it all began.

Messages turned into the deepest late night conversation on the phone. Late night conversations turned into falling asleep on the phone together.

The day where I told her who I was scared me. I was sure, I would scare her off and she would run away. So I was even more surprised when she said: "For the world you're Jordan Riki, the big rugby player. But for me you're just Jordan, the cute guy, who spilled his coffee over my shirt."

I swear that day made me realize that I fell for this woman. Hard and fast.

And now we're here. 6 months later.

I'm sitting on the bench with Jesse, one of my teammates. Practice was exhausting and I'm just looking forward to seeing her, because she told me she'll pick me up.

We still haven't put a label on us. We're just taking it day by day. And that's fine, because everything is better than not having her in my life.

Jesse and I were deep in conversation when I suddenly hear the door and my head snaps towards the noise and there she is. In all her beauty. Bright eyes, warm smile.

I'm grinning like an idiot, my eyes glued to her face as she smiles and waves at me from a distance and Jesse squeezes my shoulder, laughing. "Okay, now I get it. You got yourself a beauty, mate."

"Hands off, she's mine even if it's not official yet." I shoot back playfully and Jesse simply starts to laugh even more before he gets up and disappears into the locker room.

But I'm still completely entranced by that woman, who stops right in front of me and I swear her smile could light up the darkest days. "Hey, beautiful."

I never believed in crazy things like fate, until she came along. Thank you for sending me an angel, universe.
