I chose to spend my Saturday walking around the city today.

The buzzing of the city bring me a sort of relaxation almost. Considering it's one of the busiest cities in the U.S, I'm well aware that sounds a bit weird.

For as long as I could remember, I had always wanted to live in New York. Something about the city of dreams always inspired me. It drew me in.

Guess I'm living my dream.

I take the last bite of my almond croissant as I cross North 110th Street to Central Park. My headphones blasting Taylor Swift.

I get myself comfortable underneath a large oak tree and take The Cruel Prince out of my bag. I sip my coffee as I read, feeling the bliss of relaxation.

That is until a dog runs up to me, sniffing my coffee.

"Oh-" I set down my book, "Hi there." I pet the small dogs soft ears. King Charles Spaniel huh?

"I'm so sorry," a guy, about my age, comes up to me. "No you're fine," I say looking up at him.

Wow. His blonde hair is so... perfect? And his eyes, a bright ass green. Holy shit.

"Uh, no you're really fine," I chuckle as I turn to the tiny pup, "You're so handsome aren't you?" I pet his soft cheeks.

"Cooper say hi," the guy says. "What a cute name," I say to Cooper as he licks my face. "How old is he?" I ask, looking up at the stranger again.

"About a year, he's definitely not a puppy anymore," He chuckles. "I'm Landon by the way," He reaches out his hand for me to shake. I take it, "Mandy."

"You go to school around here?" He crosses his arms, making him look naturally taller.

"Yeah, NYU," I say, still petting Cooper. "What about you?"

"Columbia," Landon says.

Smart? Check. Dog lover? Check. Attractive? Check, check, check.

I take a sip of my coffee as Cooper sits next to my bag. "What major are you if you don't mind me asking?" Landon asks, sitting down in front of my laid out legs. Cooper gets up and prances over to him.

"Psychology as of now." His eye brows raise and his green eyes become brighter.

"Psychology? I wouldn't take you as a psychology girl." I chuckle, "Yeah, it was kind of last minute so I hope I didn't make the wrong decision. What about you?"

His lips form a smile as he pets Cooper, "Law."

"Oh wow," I say surprised. "Why law?"

"Family business stuff," He says, looking down at Cooper, but he lifts his eyes to me, "Why psychology?"

My fucked up issues.

"Interest I guess," I answer. He smiles a breathing taking smile at me. Oh my god calm down.

"You're not from around here are you?" Landon says, a gentle smile growing on his lips.

I blush, "No, I'm not," I look back at his green eyes, "are you?"

"Nope," He fully smiles, looking at me. "My friends are here so I came here for college. Seemed like a good deal."

I nod, "yeah it does." Cooper comes up to me again, nuzzling his face on my thigh, "New York seemed like my calling so I came here for an escape."

His eyebrows furrow, "escape?" I nod again. "There's a lot about you I definitely don't know," he says, "we should hang out sometime."

I smile looking down at Cooper.

"Maybe."
