| | i walk out of my cozy apartment for the first time in a week. recently i ended things with my abusive ex and i've been feeling so lonely and worthless. i've had nothing to do so i have just been staying home.
i open the door to the front of the building. i feel the wind blowing on me. it was so slight yet so calming. it smelled like leaves and i loved watching them fall off the trees. the air was so crisp and fresh.
i took a deep breath. everything is so beautiful. "i love autumn," i think to myself. i then decided to get a drink at starbucks. my personal favorite is y/f/d. i walk on the sidewalk looking around my environment. i take everything in. the brick apartment buildings, people walking their dogs, and cars racing by probably trying to get to work since it is early in the day.
i usually don't wake up this morning but today was different. everything feels so fresh, and i knew i was going to have a great day. actually taking care of myself and going outside was a great feeling.
after about 10 minutes of my relaxing walk, i pull the starbucks door open with a huge whiff of coffee. it smelled so amazing. there weren't many people in there surprisingly. one caught my eye though. he was sitting at a table in the corner on his phone. he was so cute. he had the pumpkin spice latte. the boy had brown fluffy hair, blue eyes, and freckles. i didn't want to stare to long though so i just walked up to the counter.
as i was ordering my drink the boy didn't escape my mind. he was just so adorable and i could here his laugh from all the way across the room. "order for y/n?" the lady at the counter says. i smile and pick up the drink. "thanks." i walk over purposelessly to a table near him. i went on my phone so it wasn't awkward. and then i looked up. he was looking at me.
with his sparkling blue eyes. oh, that boy looked so adorable. the way he just stared at me gave me butterflies. but then he quickly looked away after i started noticing. i was beginning to think i should shoot my shot. so i made the hard decision to do so. my stomach started to knot up and i started feeling nervous as i made my way over to his table.
i sat down right across from him. "shit what do i say," i think to myself as he looks up from his phone. even hotter up close. "hey i'm y/n and i think your pretty cute," i say as i start playing with my fingers. he smiles. boy, was his smile cute. "hi i'm karl, if you couldn't tell i think your pretty cute too honestly.." he says. he looks down probably from embarrassment or something. his face goes red. and when i say red, i mean an apple type red.
"thankyou kind sir," i tell him, as he giggles. "can i get the number?" i ask. he looks up at me again. i got so many butterflies. "he's probably not going to give it to me. does he think i'm weird? does he actually think i'm cute? was he lying? was he not going to give me his nu-" my thought get interrupted by his voice. "oh yeah sure," he says. i smiled so wide. i hope he doesn't think i'm weird. i take my phone out and nod as i hand it to him.
"there," he smiles as he gives it back to me. i smirk and just stare at him. he was so out of my league. "thanks! i hope to get to know you better later," he nods and i walk the hell out of there. i just stand there awkwardly after i leave. the air blowing on me, the smell of autumn is in the air. the leaves were so crisp. then... i completely relax again. this is why i love autumn. | |
