Matt arrived at his apartment pulling his house key from the pocket of his suit jacket and proceeding to unlock the door. "Home sweet....Home." he muttered to himself under his breathe. "Geert! Foooood!" He called out to his black cat opening a can of fish before sitting down on the sofa. "Some day this has been. Wonderful music, wonderful people, wonderful coffee...its unreal." Matt turned on the TV and began watching a Dutch news program from his home country for a brief two minutes. "Eh....screw it. Too depressing and dull. Guess I'll listen to some Greta Van Fleet."

Allie finally decided that with the guy gone it would be too weird to just sit there in silence so she picked up her coffee waved goodbye to the barista and headed to her apartment. On the way, she realized that she only saw one apartment on the street."No way!She said aloud She headed to her apartment straight to her room singing a Charlie Puth song out loud as she opened her apartment door.

Matt had set flowers on her doorstep with a note in Dutch that said "I love you" followed up by "From a secret admirer" as if to make her question who sent it to her. Upon having vanished to his apartment he opened up his refrigerator and cracked open a Heineken. "She's going to love this...." he thought to himself.

She was so busy singing she almost didn't realize the bouquet of flowers on her doorstep. She picked them up and smelled them and looked at the note.It seemed to be in some foreign language but it was evidently from A secret admirer.As she walked into her apartment she wondered how long the flowers were there?Who could have left them?Maybe someone at the office?The office was mainly women except for anothe guy who just got hired.Could it be the man from the Cafe?What was his name...Matt.Nah .She hadnt gaven him her adress.Whoever it was had nice taste and it was evident she had struck a chord with someone .She would only have to wait.In the spur of the moment she left a note on her doorstep that said "Thanks for the flowers.I love them Call me sometime!"She left her number attached .Yeah it wasnt wise but if they already had her adress so what was the harm.She hurried to find a vase to put the flowers.

(woah thats long.whoops)

Matt open his refrigerator upon having remembered the left over slice of pizza from the previous night. "I can't to see her again...." he said happily before taking a bite of pizza and grabbing four Heinekens. "I am kinda glad I don't have to work tomorrow because I am ready to get wrecked with plenty of beer. Hopefully She'll contact me soon." He sat down on the sofa and began to chow down and get drunk.

It was later now and Allie was really bored. none of her friends were online and she had finished a book she just bought so she was down to nearly dying of boredom she opened her purse and retrieved a scrap of paper with Matt's address. With no other intents except killing boredom and to be spontaneous and obviously the urge to see him again, she went to his door which was a floor above hers she knocked. It was then she realized she had no idea what to say.

Matt staggered in a drunk fashion to the door. "H-h-h-hello....Allie. your a sight for sore eyes." He said slurring his words. "Sorry about my speech....I am a bit wasted right now." Matt chuckled happily. "So I heard you got....flowers, right?"

"So it was you! Thanks, they're beautiful. I didn't take you for a drinker"His mouth smelt of Heineken and pepperoni. If only she lived a life like that. He seemed carefree and happy. Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea coming over after all.

"Your welcome the pleasures all mine. Tulips imported from The Netherlands." He said happily. "Feel free to join me in my inner madness. I have plenty of pizza and beer for the both of us." Matt seemed quite pleased with himself for once. "Would you like to go out with me, Allie?" He asked politely clearly in love with her.

So many things raced through her mind. Had he just asked her out? The Netherlands?! Was he from there? Omg, he's too cute! I just met him and millions of other thoughts. "Ofc Ill join and yes ill go out with you. Show me the pizza!

"Yes I am from The Netherlands which would explain the tulips, the heinken, my strange gutteral accent, and the note." He said with pride. "Thank You for accepting my request. The pizza is on the top shelve of the fridge near the Heineken and Roast Beef." Matt grinned with sheer delight.

As she walked in his apartment she picked up the pizza and ate some then sat on the couch right in the living room. Sat crosslegged and looked at him still at the door adorably waiting for him to tell her more about himself.

Matt sat down beside her and began to her about himself a bit more. "I was born in Amsterdam on March 10th, 1995, my mother was Dutch whereas my father was Scottish, as a child I was rather solitary generally keeping to myself like a lone wolfe, my parents took not of this and had me diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome at 16." He paused to take a sip of beer before continuing. "Anyway....I moved out of my parents place and got a job as a security guard which I held until I was 21 after that I was employed as a bar tender at a pub up the road, today I am unemployed." He paused again and took another sip before kissing her. "I hate crowds, I served in the Royal Netherlands Army for two years, I flew a plane while on LSD, my favourite band is Rush, and I love you, Allie." Matt opened another Heineken and turned on the TV which had a match between Ajax and Real Madrid. "Ajax for life!"

She laughed as he fanboyed over the unrecognizable opponents. The kiss was also so unexpected but she couldn't deny that she had formed some connection with matt in the short amount of time. She felt the need to connect with him more."I grew up in New York where my mom stayed at home and my dad worked as an interior designer. My Family faced some hard time as my dad's income wasn't reliable. But I guess I'm kind of lucky to be where I am. I got a scholarship and became an editor which I'm really happy doing because I don't have to be in an office all day unless its a very big story. I also am more of a bookworm and so would rather read than go out but as I'm sure you know I can be really spontaneous. I do have to go check on my mom often because she was diagnosed with Depression but she's been doing well recently." That last part she hadn't planned on sharing but she felt she should as she cozied up close to him on the couch.

Matt wrapped his arms around Allie. "Hmm....interesting. My father was the owner of a small bookstore while my mother was a part time nurse. Childhood wasn't easy for me and the first three years of adulthood was paradise lost. I must admit life is not what its cracked up to be." He kissed her again and handed her another beer. "Being drunk with the one you love is quite the pastime." Matt chuckled. "I have two tickets for a Rush concert due to take place in two days wanna come?"

She wasn't quite drunk yet but nonetheless, she was enjoying herself. She didn't really go to concerts most importantly she had never been to one ever which is kind of sad for someone her age but she was willing to try nonetheless."Sure, I have no idea who Rush is but I'm willing to try." She took the beer willingly.

Matt laughed outloud "Rush is a progressive rock band from Canada formed in 1968 by Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and John Rutsey. They released their first album in March of 1974. Trust me you'll love it." He said euthastically before downing a beer super fast. Matt held her tight. "close your eyes, princess...." he placed a copy of Rush's greatest hits in her hand.

"OMG for me ?! really," she said this as she opened her eyes to the gift in her hand. Princess? none had called her that before?

Matt kissed her cheek and forehead. "If your gonna be mine then I mights as call you my princess." He chuckled before opening two more beers handing her one in the process.Matt was clearly dedicated from the get-go having had many a girlfriend since high school whom he had loved but this was special for him. Allie didn't seem to be like any other previous woman he had dated beforehand.
