Victoria had been staring at her watch all day, watching the little numbers count down one at a time. Most of her other friend's clocks had counted down a while ago, and she couldn't help but be excited that it was finally her turn.
((putting the rest under a read more because it came out to be a really long post... whoops))

It was later at night in the bakery. The blonde had been restocking the shelves for the morning, setting out fresh baked goods in her Aunt's bakery that she had recently acquired. But it was quiet on the small street at night. Most people were in their houses or apartments, getting ready to settle down for the night. There didn't seem to be that many people walking on the street either.

Her heart started to beat faster as the numbers contented to count down, but still seeing no life anywhere near the bakery. Was her watch broken? Was it a mistake? Was it counting down before it was supposed too? She closed up the cash register nervously and tried to busy herself with other things to distract herself from the worries that ran through and clouded her mind.

Victoria grew even more nervous now, and darted her eyes all around the street that the bakery sat on through the windows, looking for any sign of someone making his/her way toward her shop. She thought she could hear faint footsteps, but it also could be her mind making stuff up to try and calm her down.
00:00:20
It was almost time now, and the footsteps that she thought she imagined started to grow louder and louder. But her heart still pupped widely in her chest, nervous about finally meeting her "soul mate". She used her hands to try and calm down a few of the hairs that stuck up on one side of her head, to try and look more presentable to whom ever was coming. After she thought she looked somewhat decent, she took off the flour covered apron and put it behind the counter.

It was only mere seconds before the timer ran out. Out of the corner of her eye, Victoria saw a shape suddenly run around the corner of where the bakery sat, but ran straight passed her. With this, her heart sank, and she grew nervous once again. It seemed that it was a mistake, and the numbers were counting down at the wrong time.
00:00:00
As the numbers finally counted down, Victoria started to turn away when she knocked into the tall form of a rather handsome man in her shop, who seemed to come out of no where. Excited and frightened by his sudden appearance, Victoria clumsily fell to the floor, eyes wide with shock.
The man whom she ran into knelt down to help her up, and she finally got a good look at him. Glancing down at his wrist, she saw that his timer had counted down too, and displayed all zeros as well. She glanced into the blue-grey eyes of the dirty blonde man that knelt before her, and hope fluttered in her heart. Taking his hand, Victoria stood up again, and smiled at her newly discovered soulmate.
"Hi," she muttered nervously, looking into his eyes.
It might have not been the best meeting (with her falling to the floor and all), but Victoria was glad that she had finally found him.
