Rob Alessandro Rodriguez couldn't help reminiscing about his ex-girlfriend on his drive to his old college. Suddenly a woman is a mild pink dress caught his attention. As the car drove by he watched her until he passed her. Then he turned around to...
For the date I didn't bring up the disgustable act he did early in the week as promised in our agreement. While we were having dinner and talking, I found I actually enjoyed his company and also we have a lot in common. Maybe if I had agreed to go out with him when he had asked, maybe what had happened wouldn't have happened. The view here, the peace and quiet and just being surrounded by nature makes me want to forget about a great start. It also has something to do with him. These past few days, he has been showering me with gifts, keeping his distance. It's not really the gifts that are making me go soft here but those notes he has attached to it. I can really feel his words, that's a whole different side of Rob I didn't know about.
I continue to eat my lasagna. I still can't believe he made it. I honestly thought it was Lara. When I told him that he must thank Lara for me for the lasagna. He just laughed and then told me it was him that made it. And to be honest I was in complete shock.
After we finished dinner, he got up and stretched his hand to me and this time I took it. He helped me up and led me away a bit from the table.
"Can I have this dance with you, my lady?" He asked me, with his eyes never leaving mine.
"There's no music." I responded to him, moving my shoulder up.
He put up one hand about his face length and moved his fingers as if he's playing the piano. I started to laugh and shake my head.
"You're crazy, you know?" I told him, still laughing.
"Yes, crazy for you, baby." He whispered in my ear and then pulled me closer to him.
Suddenly the music came. "That's you" by Drew Baldridge. It's one of my favorite songs of all time. How did he know, I thought to myself. He swayed me into a dance with him.
We ended up stopping moving and staring into each other's eyes. One of his hands came down my back, while the other held one of my hands. We didn't move, we just stood there, staring into each other's eyes. I am not sure how much time has passed but there is nowhere else in the world I would rather be than right here with him. He started to give me butterflies in my stomach.

At this moment, I have forgotten and forgiven him for everything he did to me. I thought about lending in and kissing hip lips. I really wanted to but at the same time, I didn't want to make the first move. What if I miss reading his signs?
He finally breaks eye contact with me, pulling me back into reality. Another song has begun. "For you" by Liam Payne and Rita Ora. We continue dancing. He raised his hand for me to spin and I did.
After the spin, I was in front of him. He has one hand on my shoulder and the other on my other hand. Then he did the unexpected and pulled my hair to the side. My heart started to beat faster and faster. I am starting to get nervous in anticipation of what he is going to do next.
