Book - Love at First Sight

Probably just the headache talking, Kylie thought.

She began to get up off of the floor, now dizzy as well. All because of him. ‘Why did you grab my hand anyway?’ Kylie spat as she lightly leaned against the door with crossed arms. ‘Paper towels.’ he replied, holding them out to her. ‘I know you’re angry at me, but I only want to help. I’m sorry.’ Kylie was about to snap back that she was still mad at him, but held her tongue. ‘It’s fine,’ she said instead. Even after all that he seemed kind of sweet, and the coffee was an accident… but Kylie thought he was annoying, way too quirky and he was just some typical guy. Kylie was a huge rock star, and she knew she was way above him. However, she couldn’t stop herself from smiling a little. ‘It looks like the clock has struck twelve.’ chuckled the man, handing her the paper towels. He stood beside her, humming the rest of the song. Wait, did he just say that? Or is my head still spinning? Kylie’s mind flashed back to when Contestant 8 said the same thing, when Kylie was on ‘Love is in the air.’ It’s probably nothing- I’m obviously making things up, I did hit my head pretty hard, which was all this dumb man’s fault. Contestant 8 would never do that. Is he honestly asking me that?! I’m Kylie! ‘Yeah, of course I do.’ replied Kylie coolly. ‘What do you do?’ asked Grant. ‘Wait. You don’t know?’ How stupid is he? How does he not know who I am! ‘No...’ he replied, puzzled, ‘Should I?’ Kylie burst out laughing but Grant confusedly looked back at her. ‘You’re hilarious ,’ Kylie said in between giggles. ‘Why? I have no idea what your job is.’ Frowning, she paused. ‘You genuinely have no clue who I am?’ ‘No idea.’ He replied. ‘I’m Kylie.’ she said. The man started laughing, ‘Oh! Yeah, I know Kylie! You sing?’ ‘ International rock star ,’ she corrected. ‘I’ve won Australian song of the year and performed at the ARIA music awards. I can’t believe you don’t know who I am.’ ‘Wow,’ laughed Grant, ‘I guess you learn something new everyday.’ Kylie just rolled her eyes. I was right. This man absolutely couldn’t have said that before. It was just my mind playing tricks on me. This guy is way too shallow and weird to be Contestant 8. Kylie began to dry the coffee off herself and Grant stood silently beside her, tapping his foot. ‘Um… my name’s Grant.” He awkwardly broke the silence. This man is so uncool, she thought. ‘So… uh… tell me a bit about yourself,’ Really, small talk? ‘Do you have a job?’
