Love Never Lasts

Chapter #1 Meeting

       After I left Sarah's house I started to text charlie. Things were actually going really well. We have a lot in common. He's really nice and super funny. I guess I might give him a chance. But does he really wanna date me? 

     We were texting for about a week now and he asked to meet me in person. I don't know if that means he likes me or not. I'm pretty nervous to meet up with him. What if he thinks I'm ugly and doesn't like me anymore? He wants to meet me at the cafe tomorrow at noon. I guess all I can do is go and hope for the best. 

     The next morning when I woke up I put some makeup on which I don't usually do but I wanted to look nice. I wanted to wear nice clothes but not too fancy. I pulled the front part of my hair back into a little ponytail. 

     I went to a cafe a little early so I ordered a bubble tea and got a table to sit at. I wasn't sitting there long until I saw Charlie walk in. Well, who i thought was Charlie.

    It was pretty embarrassing when i waved him over. The guy walked over to his girlfriend and kissed her. She came over to me and started yelling. It looked like she was going to slap me. I flinched and closed my eyes but she never did. 

   I opened my eyes and saw some guy had caught her hand. "What the heck is going on here!" the guy yelled. "This girl tried hitting on my boyfriend!" The girl cried. "I'm sorry, I thought he was someone else. I'm meeting someone for the first time here." I mumbled. The guy looked at me but I couldn't make eye contact. I was too embarrassed. I couldn't do this, what if Charlie walked in and saw this. I had to leave now. 

     "I'm sorry for what I caused, I'll be on my way then." I apologized. I tried to get out of there as fast as I could. But someone grabbed my hand and I slapped them out of reflect. "I'm so sorry, I'm a mess today, I keep causing problems!" I cried. I tried to pull away but he tightened his grip.

    I looked at him with pure terror. "Please let me go, I need to leave." i cried again "Wait please let me say something." He said "Look at me." I looked at him we made eye contact for the first time. I noticed how pretty his eyes were. They were a pretty shade of teal. I felt if I stared too long I would get lost in them.

   " Are you Evelyn?" he asked. "How would you know that!" I replied. "Wow, I imagined us meeting in a better way." He said "Hi I'm Charlie, it's nice to meet you." My jaw dropped i couldn't believe it. 

     I messed up so bad Sarah was going to kill me. He was still holding my hand. I wanted to run. I looked down at my feet. I couldn't look at him when I spoke. "I'm sorry I messed everything up, I can't imagine what you're thinking right now." I said "What n-" "If you will just let go of me you don't have to see me again. I will be out of your hair."

    " Wait, listen to me," he said. I was so scared of what he was going to say. "Evelyn, I don't think of you any differently from this. Seeing you for the first time I think you're beautiful. Plus brave to let that girl just yell at you like that." I looked at him. 

    I noticed how cute he was. I was speechless. I didn't know what to say, this guy was really amazing. I think I might be starting to have feelings for him. "Let's go somewhere else." He said. He pulled me out of the cafe still holding my hand. 

     We spent all day together. It was amazing. We had so much fun together. We started hanging out everyday after that. He's amazing, he's cute, he's funny, he's nice. He's just so great.

     It was a Thursday afternoon. We went to a marvel movie. We got popcorn to share and we both got drinks. During the movie Charlie's hand touched mine. I flinched but I hoped he didn't notice. He twined our fingers together. I felt my heart racing. It was nice, it was comforting.

     After the movie he looked deep into my eyes and hugged me tight. My heart fluttered. He leaned in, his face was so close to mine. I could almost feel how red my face was. He kissed my cheek then he whispered in my ear. " Tonight was fun, I can't wait to do this again." He flashed me this movie star smile. I panicked and said "you too!" Charlie laughed and smiled again, I smiled back at him. "Goodnight Evelyn." "Goodnight charlie."
