A couple of minutes went by with a full silence between us. I guess we just needed some time to think.
The silence was soon interrupted by a young store clerk.
"Oh my gosh are you guys okay?" The store clerk asks us with his phone in his hand. He had probably dialed 911 already.
"Yes, no worries sir, we're fine," Andrew says while I stare at the two crashed cars right in front of me.
"Oh dear! Are you kids alright?" An elderley woman says to us while handing Andrew and I a blanket.
"Thank you," I say looking up towards the woman.
The old woman continues to stare at me for a few seconds before her eyes widen.
"Ah! I think I recognize you young lady! You're the manager for that popular designer shop right back on Everly street!" The elderley woman says slowly with a slight gasp.
Now that I think of it, I do recognize her . . . she works at the BedBath&Beyond not too far from the shop. I remember going to shop there with my colleagues.
"Now that I think of it . . . I think I do remember you, you're Mrs . . . Mrs. Williams. You work at the bingo center in the little plaza," I say with a nod of my head.
"Indeed I am dear, You're the famous Ms. Dawn aren't you."
I chuckle lightly at the title "Famous Ms. Dawn,"
"Haha, what makes you think I'm famous?" I say with a smile.
"Oh honey, your designs are so lovely, just look at my beautiful hat! All of my coworkers love this hat. Do you recognize it dear?"
I gasp in my memory of the beach hat I came up with back in April. Mrs. Williams must've noticed that I remembered the hat, so she nodded her head with a bright smile.
"I almost forgot about that design haha. Too many designs to remember," I mumble with a shake of my head.
"Well dear, just so you know, I am a big fan of your designs, and I love your eyes, they're breathtaking honey.
Good luck dear with the future ahead of you." Mrs. Williams says while waving a hand at Andrew and I, she winks at me with a smile.
She then walks back into her car and drives off leaving me with a puzzled face which I soon brush off.
I'm so busy with my thoughts that I flinch a little when Andrew speaks.
"So . . . Ms. Dawn, you're a designer."
"Yep, been one since I was 18," I say while stealing a glance from him.
"18? I thought you were 18 haha, you look really young and beautiful," Andrew blurted out fast but then quickly turned his head away from me. From what I could see, Andrew's cheeks were tinted pink.
I couldn't contain my blush either so I'm guessing I looked like a tomato. I dont know if that was a supposed to be a compliment or whatnot but that was pretty stupid to blurt that out.
Oh god, please let this awkward silence pass . . . please.
I averted my eyes away from Andrew's whole figure while trying to clear my thoughts.
"U-uh . . .," Andrew cleared his throat and continued, "Anyways . . . Maybe I can stop by your shop for some designs."
The thought of him visiting my shop made me make eye contact with him.
Man . . . isn't he beautiful. His sharp jawline and broad shoulders, his biceps . . . his tall muscular figure and slightly messed up caramel colored hair. The abyss of his bright blue ocean eyes, his eyelashes must be longer than mine! Oh my gosh he's like a hot prince. Screw that! He is a hot prince!
"You alright Ms. Dawn?" Andrew askes, snapping me back to reality. I force myself to break eye contact with him as I try to fight the blush crawling up my cheeks.
I'm glad humans arent able to read minds.
"Yea . . . ," I responded. "I'm okay. Uh, Also you can stop by the shop anytime. It's called Roze Dawns designer shop. Just ask any of the workers if Dawn is around," I say surprising myself in the process. Ugh! Why did I say that?! I should've been like, Oh yea just ask any of my colleagues for any help, not specifically look for me! Damn . . . my brain is going numb.
"Alright then Ms. Dawn," Andrew says with a smile a couple seconds later.
Bloody hell! The way he says my name is so astonishing it gives me shivers, what the hell is wrong with me?
"Rozelle, my name is Rozelle . . . or just Rose. I'm not really used to being called 'Ms. Dawn' haha," I tell Andrew with a polite smile.
"Nice to meet you Rose," Andrew says with a bright smile.
"Nice to meet you Andrew," I respond with a shake of a hand while staring at his dimples.

Minutes pass by until the store clerk walks towards us both.
"Mr and Ms . . . Police officers will be here shortly with a tow truck too," He says with a slight smile, "I hope you two are alright. If you'll excuse me, I'll head back to work."
"Thank you sir, goodnight," I say.
"No problem Miss," The store clerk says before walking off to the supermarket.
