CallMeKevin, Can't Help Falling In Love

For The First Time!

(Hey this is Max, I am so excited to write this story becuase I've written a lot but never published them!! I hope you all enjoy chapter 2)

I left the house ready to conquer the world. Or atleast that's what I tried to tell myself... It was about 10am at this point so it was relatively early still. I decided I would skip breakfast even tho I was starving. I needed to save my money. I started walking towards a gaming store becuase I brought my switch. I had it hidden from him so I haven't played in awhile. I might as well just look around even though I know I can't buy anything, I can't afford it. I walked in and immediately felt nervous. There were so many people. Too many. I started looking around obviously nervous but I tried to hide it. I had no idea where I was, I had already walked A few miles becuase I left at about 7:30. I turned around to a voice, a soothing one, that might have been becuase it wasnt his, but it was nice. "Hey you look lost, need some help?", I turned around slightly startled and to my surprise I saw a chest, I slowly started looking up. He was tall. Like, really tall. "Uh yeah i-i... Just a little." I laughed nervously and scraped the back of my neck. "Well I don't work here but I can show you some good games." He smirked but not in a creepy way whatsoever. He was kinda cute. Stop it Mack you just left a relationship, and not a good one. "Uh yeah sure, but I didn't really plan on buying anything today." That was kind of embarrassing to say but to was true. "Oh well if your new to town I wouldn't mind showing you around.!" He smiled at me, he seemed sincere like he didn't mean anything by it, but men, well, men are sneaky. "I um i-i don't know, I mean I don't even know your name." I said kind of concerned. He turned white, whiter than his already pale skin, this was Ireland after all, he frowned. "No no I didn't mean anything by that, I just well, I made a goal for myself, I was going to try and talk to someone everyday and if they were nice I would try and do a good deed for them! If all goes well I would try and become friends with them. I haven't had the best of luck but I want to try and help you! I hope I didn't concern or scare you!". That was cute, that was just well adorable, he was blushing. I barely know him though and just cuz he's hot doesn't mean I like him I just got out of a relationship and I have talked to him for 5 minutes. "Oh and also, my name's Kevin, Kevin O'Reilly!". And his name just sounded so sweet and sincere. "Well I'm Mack, Mack Doyle. I'm sorry your friend thing isn't working out, if it makes you feel better my friend situation has been nonexistent." I chucked slightly as did he but I quieted down being mesmerized by his chuckle. Stop it Mack stop it, stop it, stop it. "One more thing, I will take you up on that city tour! Speaking of, what city am I in?". I chuckled slightly realizing I had no idea where I was but that didn't matter to me becuase I was away from him. He answered with a slight smile, "This beautiful town that always smells like food is called Cork..." That made me laugh a little cuz he wasnt wrong but everyone in this town was relatively small and toned, it was odd. "...and we best get going then if we want to catch the city before the lunch rush." He opened the door for me and hummed a slight "m'lady" that was nice as he bowed and chuckled as did I. Why did I already feel secure with him? I dont know to be scared or happy! No, I don't trust this, I don't trust him, I shouldn't trust anyone. What if he knows Mikey? What if Mikey realized I was gone and sent him after me? Oh no, was this a bad idea? "Ok so where do you want to see first?" I was interrupted by his voice again, it honestly was very soothing, his accent was light I liked that, it was unlike mine which was relatively strong but understandable. "Um I don't really know anywhere specific so lead the way sir" we laughed a little as the thoughts were still in my head. "Do you mind if we walk becuase it is a tour, you can't obsorb all the essence of beautiful Cork with a car ride!". I laughed again, he was good at that. "Your smart, we should walk, I don't have a car anyways so I'm used to walking." That was embarrassing to say, but it was true. We started walking and he showed me everything around Cork. It was nice. He was nice. It had been about 2 hours and I had only found that out by him checking his phone and me seeing it was noon. "So...." He mumbled out deep and quietly. "Yeah.....so...." It was now awkward realizing how much time we had spent together. "So.. you wanna get some lunch?" Did he he really just ask me that? I don't have any money. I can't pay. "I would love to but..." When I said that his shoulders shrunk, and his goofy face turned to a frown. "...but I don't have any money" it floated back up to a smile again. "Don't worry I can pay, I had planned on it anyways, after all, I did invite you" that was true but I didn't want him too so, I resisted. He finally convinced me by giving me little puppy dog eyes, it was cute, he meant for it to be but still, it was. "Fine, fine, you win we can get lunch... But I'm paying next time" we chucked as I nudged him slightly. Why did I say next time? Why did I nudge him? I don't even know this guy! What have I done.

(Kevin's p.o.v)
"Feck..." I mumbled that almost every morning to myself, I hated getting up, seriously it sucks. Waking up just reminds me Im 27 and live alone. Well atleast I had my YouTube friends and fans I guess. I got up made some coffee and took a shower. I felt like today was the day I was gonna make a friend. Or even maybe a girlfriend! "You are a funny guy Kev" I laughed to myself. That would never happen. I might as well try, I got nothing to lose. I drank my coffee threw on a generic outfit of jeans and a jumper. That was my entire fashion sense, middle aged dad. Maybe that's why I'm single. I grabbed my keys and left for the game store. I needed video ideas, like bad. When I got to the store I started looking for potential victims, that's what I like to call them. I look over and saw a girl who looked very nervous, and very scared. I didn't blame her she was small, like maybe only 5'5, she was kind of cute. Maybe I should talk to her. What if she thinks I'm weird? What if she doesn't like me? No, no, Kevin shut up, this happens every time just talk to her. I walked over to her and managed to mumble something out "hey you look lost, need some help?" I thought my words didn't come out until she responded, her voice was sweet and tender. She replied with stuttered speech, she was nervous so this made sense. We mad small talk until I offered to show her around town. I felt like a creep doing that. Surprisingly she said yes. I managed to make her laugh quite a bit. Her laugh was soft and she looked away every time I think she was embarrassed by it. She shouldn't be it could light up a whole room. We kept walking for what felt like 10 minutes, I checked my phone and realized it was noon. That means we had walked for 2 hours. I offered her lunch but she resisted until my smooth talking convinced her too. 😎 (Sorry for that) she replied with "next time" and a nudge. What did that mean was she flirting with me? She was probably just being nice, right? I don't know anything about flirting but I tried my best. We went to get lunch at some local shop I forget the name but it was relatively good.

For the first time in a while, I felt safe and loose.

(Macks p.o.v)
We went to get lunch, I think the place was called Pompeii Pizza. We got a pizza to share and we both got salads becuase apparently Kevin can't stand soup he says "I hate wet food and soup is the wettest of foods" he made sense I didn't like soup anywhas but it was still funny. We got done eating and the bill wasn't too much but I still felt bad becuase Kevin payed. 

For the first time ever, I felt, safe, secure and free. It was wonderful.
