AJR Short Stories

✨️Ryan - Calm location

You and Ryan had never met before but were introduced by a mutual friend. You were immediately struck by Ryan's friendly smile and his charming personality, while Ryan was captivated by your kind heart and sparkling eyes.

Over the next few weeks, you and Ryan exchanged messages, and your friendship started to grow. You went on a few casual hangouts with friends, and each time you met, your feelings towards him only grew stronger.

One day, while you two were walking through a park, you saw a nice bench in a calm location. You decided to sit and chat.

You asked Ryan, "So what do you like to do for fun?"

Ryan grinned, "Oh, I have a ton of interests! I love watching movies, reading, playing instruments, and writing music. How about you?"

You thought for a moment, "I enjoy reading as well. I also like to paint and play ice hockey."

Ryan's eyes lit up, "Really? That's awesome! I've always wanted to try ice hockey, but I've never gotten around to it. Maybe you could teach me someday?"

You chuckled, "Sure, I'd love to!"

As you talked, you discovered more and more about each other's passions and interests. You discussed your favorite music and TV shows, and you bonded over your mutual love for classic literature.

You asked Ryan, "So, do you have any favorite books?"

"Oh, definitely!" My favorite book of all time is The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. What about you?" Ryan replied.

Your eyes shone, "I love that book too! But my all-time favorite is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen."

Ryan smiled and nodded in agreement, "Ah, yes, a classic! I've always loved the character of Mr. Darcy. He's so brooding and mysterious."

You laughed, "Yes, I know what you mean! But I always felt like Elizabeth Bennet was the real star of the show. She's so witty and independent."

You continued chatting and laughing, feeling comfortable and happy in each other's company.

Ryan looked at you, "You know, Y/N, I feel like we have so much in common. I've never felt so comfortable talking to someone before."

You smiled, feeling a flutter in your stomach, "I know what you mean. It's like we've known each other for ages."

Ryan nodded, "Exactly. I feel like we have a connection, you know?"

You felt a warmth spreading through your body, "I feel it too. I'm so glad we met."

As you talked, time seemed to fly by. The sun started to set, and the park began to empty out, but you didn't want to leave. You didn't want the moment to end.

Ryan turned to you, "Hey, Y/N, do you want to grab dinner with me tonight? Just the two of us?"

Your heart skipped a beat, "I would love that, Ryan."

You and Ryan's relationship continued to grow stronger as you spent more time together. You went on adventures, cooked meals together, and talked for hours on end. One day, as you were taking a walk through the sane park, you found the same bench and decided to sit down again and talk.

Ryan turned to you and said, "Y/N, I just want you to know that you mean so much to me. You've brought so much joy and happiness into my life." His soft eyes looking deep into yours.

You smiled, "You mean a lot to me too, Ryan. I'm so glad you feel the same way."

Ryan took your hand, "Y/N, I have to tell you something.... You're special to me. I can't imagine my life without you. I want to ask you something that I have been thinking about for a long time." He paused, nervously looking in your eyes. "Will you be my girlfriend?"

Your heart swelled with happiness and your face became bright red, "Yes, Ryan, I'd love to be your girlfriend."

Ryan, filled with joy, pulled you into a sweet kiss. You continued to talk and laugh. As the sun began to set.

As you got up from the bench, you took Ryan's hand, "Let's go back to my apartment and watch a movie. I want to spend more time with you."

Ryan smiled, "That sounds perfect to me."

As you walked back to your apartment, holding hands and enjoying each other's company, your mind was racing. You had just agreed to be Ryan's girlfriend, and it felt like a huge step forward in your relationship. But now you were also thinking about the practicalities of their relationship.

When you arrived at your apartment, you turned to Ryan and said, "Ryan, I have something else I want to talk to you about. Now that we're in a relationship, have you ever thought about moving in together?"

Ryan looked at her, surprised but not opposed to the idea. "I hadn't really thought about it, but it's definitely something to consider. What brought this up?"

You shrugged, "I don't know, it just seemed like a next step I guess. Plus, I really enjoy spending time with you, and I think it would be nice."

Ryan smiled, "I can definitely see the appeal. And to be honest, I've been thinking about it too. I love spending time with you, and I think we could have a lot of fun living together."

You grinned, feeling relieved that Ryan was on board with the idea. "So, what do you think? Should we start looking for a place together?"

Ryan nodded, "I think that would be great. We should take some time to look at different apartments and figure out what we both want in a living space."

Your heart fluttered with excitement. You couldn't believe that things were moving so quickly, but you felt confident that it was the right decision.

You leaned over and kissed Ryan, "I'm so happy we're on the same page. This feels like the start of something really special."

Ryan pulled you in for a tight hug, "I feel the same way, Y/N. I can't wait to see where this journey takes us."

As you snuggled on the couch together and watched a movie, you couldn't help but feel lucky.

You knew that you had a lot to figure out, but you were excited to do it together.
