Michael's POV

Looking forward to going to work even though my night was fairly interesting these dreams I've been experiencing seem so real I have a hard time distinguishing them. Each dream, comes with a deeper feeling for Vanessa but am I too scared to make them a reality?. It feels like I'm making it a lot worse than what it is. I need to just stop over thinking it.

I get out of bed and sluggishly trot to my closet to pick out a nice suit for work today. I was searching for a suit jacket when my phone text notification went off, and caught my attention. Instantly my heart began to race and my flesh heat up but it could possibly be someone else who could be texting me at this hour and not Vanessa. It could also be Vanessa.

I gain some self control, and unlock my phone to see the message my eyes shot open it's Vanessa. Kinda strange how the person your afraid to talk to texts you out of the blue. Do I say something back? Do I not? Do I just go on about my day, and not notice her presence? I'm so confused I don't know what to do. I feel like I should answer her, but I feel like it's best if I don't. I don't want to be rude though I know she already thinks I'm an asshole, but I don't want her to think I'm inconsiderate either.

I began to type a message my hands start to get sweaty which is really abnormal for me. I really wish my Mother was here she was always great at handling these things. I remember this one time in high school I was really into this cute girl she had natural curls she was slim but curvy and toned she was fairly a Carmel brown like I am she had the brightest smile she could light up any room she entered, but I was too shy to introduce myself I also imagined her rejecting me because of my on going acne problems. Till this day, I am still afraid of rejection. It feels like somethings different with Vanessa though.

I built up the courage to hit the send button, and proceeded to put my suit on. My phone dinged, I sorta immediately looked at it.

Vanessa: Meet me after work, ok?
My mind was racing when I read those words anything could happen when we met up what if I mess it up? what if I scare her off? I quickly shook those thoughts out of my head when I stated my reply.

Me: Of course, Vanessa I'll meet you there.

Sent. Well...Here goes nothing. I grabbed my keys, and headed out towards my SUV.
