Chapter
1: If We Ever Meet Again.
Shiloh was late for work.
Again.
This was the third time this week that she had left her apartment late and so had to rush to work; ignoring Costa and her usual morning hot chocolate. Shiloh brushed past the people who were swarming the already crowded London street. She turned the corner and walked straight into someone, resulting in her dropping all of her things.
Tom was early for work.
Again.
This was the third time this week that he had left his house early and so had got to the studio too early. Today however was the earliest. Today the bands manager wasn’t even here so Tom couldn’t get into the studio; he had to stand out in the freezing November cold and so he decided to go for a walk to keep himself warm. He turned the corner and walked straight into someone, resulting in her dropping all of her things.
“I’m so sorry!” Tom and Shiloh both said in unison as they bent down to pick up all of Shiloh’s things. “No it was entirely my fault” Shiloh muttered, picking up her presentation folder and placing it under her arm. “No no I should have been looking where I was going. Have you got everything?” Tom asked, handing Shiloh the last of her things.

Have you got everything?” Tom asked, handing Shiloh the last of her things.
“I
think so. Thank you” Shiloh said as she stood up and lifted her head up to
smile at the stranger. Tom was now standing and was looking across the road as
he had seen one of his band mates pull up in their car the other side of the
street. “Hey, thank you” Shiloh laughed, hitting Tom gently on the arm. “Oh no problem” Tom laughed, turning his attention
back to Shiloh. “Wow” He whispered.
“Pardon?” Shiloh questioned.
“Oh sorry it’s just that you are incredibly beautiful” Tom grinned.
“Oh well thank you” Shiloh could feel herself blushing. She took in all of the strangers features for the first time and instantly forgot about work. He had short blonde hair which was swept over – almost like a quiff – which would have usually made Shiloh gag but strangely, the hair suited him. He had the most intense chocolate brown eyes which were drawing her into him, making her melt. He had an adorable smile which when he grinned enough, showed off a dimple in his right cheek. He showed a good sense of style. Tom was wearing his Wolverine tank top, his beige jacket and some black skinnies. Shiloh noted to herself that he was also wearing the most luscious pair of DC’s that she had ever seen. Shiloh grinned but was bought back to reality by the stranger waving in front of her face. “Hello?” Tom laughed.
“Sorry, I went into my own little world back then” Shiloh laughed.
“I figured. I’m Tom Fletcher by the way” Tom smiled.
“Hey Tom. I’m Shiloh Corkerton” Shiloh smiled back.
“Wow what a gorgeous name. Matches you” Tom grinned. Shiloh could feel herself blushing again. If he keeps at it then I’m going to look like a tomato Shiloh thought to herself. “Is Matt here yet Tom? It’s bloody cold out here” Tom’s band mate asked as he crossed the road and reached him. “Yeah Dougie, that’s why I’m standing out in the cold” Tom laughed.
“Well I figured you just hadn’t gone in as you were talking to beauty here” Dougie said, smiling at Shiloh. “Nah I went for a walk to keep warm but I bumped into Shiloh here. Literally bumped into her” Tom laughed.
“Oh dear. I bet he did it on purpose hun, he’s awful at getting the ladies. Anyway, I’m going to go wait outside the studio T-bone. See you hun” Dougie smiled at Shiloh before he turned away and walked around the corner. “Ignore him” Tom muttered.
“Ignore who?” Shiloh grinned.
“Exactly” Tom laughed. He stopped and just smiled. “I’m not trying to freak you out but you really are beautiful” Tom smiled. When he had bumped into Shiloh and they were picking up her stuff, Tom caught a glance of her out of the corner of his eye and he was mesmerized. He was known for dating brunettes but this girl had blonde hair with a streak of pink on the left side. Whilst talking to her he noticed her emerald green eyes which shone in the sun and the freckles which lightly dotted her nose and cheeks. Shiloh was wearing a tight black pencil skirt which showed off her curves and high heels which gave her the height she desired. She was also wearing her white work shirt which she always wore to meetings and her favourite long black cardigan. “You’re not too bad looking yourself Tom” Shiloh managed to say. She didn’t want to embarrass herself by turning beetroot in front of this gorgeous man and so was trying to turn the attention to him. “We would look great together” Tom grinned as his phone starting ringing. “Excuse me a minute” Tom said as he saw who was trying to contact him. He answered his phone and turned around to speak to his manager. Just at that moment, Shiloh’s phone started buzzing from her bag. She fumbled around, trying to get her phone out of her bag whilst trying not to drop everything else. Somehow she managed it and she answered her phone without checking to see who it was. “Hello?” She said. “Where the feck are you Shiloh?” She heard her best friend Will growl. Everything suddenly came flooding back to Shiloh and she remembered work. “Sorry I’m running really late, traffic” Shiloh lied.
“You walk into work Shiloh, I’m that fecking stupid” Will snapped.
“People traffic…” Shiloh muttered.
“Whatever. Just hurry up. Max and I are trying to hold everyone here but they’re getting agitated. If you’re not here in say 10 minutes then they’re not going to be here” Will barked.
“I’ll be there okay!” Shiloh yelled, hating that her best friend was moaning at her. Shiloh hung up on Will and put her phone back in her bag before turning back to Tom who was stood smiling at her. “Problem?” He asked.
“Emergency at work. I have to go, sorry” Shiloh said, hoisting her bag up on her shoulder and making sure that once again she was holding everything that she had left with. “Oh well it was nice meeting you Shiloh” Tom smiled before he turned around and headed towards the studio. Shiloh was stunned to the spot for a few seconds before she remembered, yet again, that she was meant to be at work so she rushed off towards the office; all the while wondering why Tom had walked off without giving her his number seeing as he had taken such interest in her.
In the meantime, Tom had walked round to the front of the studio to be greeted by Dougie slapping him hard on the back. “Congrats dude! You pulled!” Dougie grinned.
“Sort of I guess” Tom smiled.
“What do you mean sort of? You got her number didn’t you?” Dougie asked. Tom lowered his head. “Oh for goodness sake Tom you idiot! You should have just asked her! She seemed perfectly keen in you and she was gorgeous” Dougie muttered.
“She has my number” Tom whispered.
“Pardon?” Shiloh questioned.
“Oh sorry it’s just that you are incredibly beautiful” Tom grinned.

“She
asked you for your number? Most forward woman ever. Is she a fan?” Dougie
asked.
“No she didn’t and not that I know of…” Tom replied. Who cares if she is a fan Tom thought to himself; she’s stunning.
By the time Shiloh had arrived at the office, she was feeling like this was all her fault. She could have asked for his number, couldn’t she? Oh well, if we ever meet again then I will get his number. No matter what. He’s cute.
