I hate to say this.

But we started talking. Nothing serious, just getting to know each other.

And I hate to say this but....

He's perfect.

He's amazing and I feel like we connect. I might have judged a book by its cover the first time, I admit.

We've flirted a bit before, but I'm just being cautious because....well because he's a guy.

Cole was 21. He had a thrift shop of his own and he was actually kinda sweet. I found it so easy to smile when we talked. And it felt delightful.

The way he made time to get to know me, even when I knew that he was extremely busy and tired.

He never neglected me. And I loved  that.  It made me feel needed. And wanted.

I genuinely felt like I had found someone I could come home to every day and talk to. Someone who could understand how I worked.

And he was that person.

At least I thought so.....

Hell, I basked in the attention I got from him. It was like heroin. And I was hooked.

Addicted.
