At my Lowest

Matthew

My entire life, I'd been a player. Going from girl to girl, until my mom died.

I realized how much it hurts when the most important woman in your life dies.

So, I locked myself away.

No girl could enter my life, other than Dakota.

Until her.

"Dakota! You have school!!"

She ran down the stairs and gave me a quick hug before her boyfriend picked her up.

I went off to work and minded my business behind the counter like I always do.

"Can I have a chocolate frappe?"

I made the woman's voice a drink without looking at her.

"Come again-" I said while extending the drink to the girl.

"Woah"

I just said woah.. Out loud to a pretty girl.

The girl had a button nose and rosy cheeks. She had pretty blue eyes and gorgeous long blonde hair.

"Thank you?"

She said with a laugh.

"Sorry, you're just- stunning.."

"Don't lie to me"

"I'm not a liar, you're amazing."

"Thank you again,"

"Matt"

"Matt" she repeated

"I'm Kennedy."

I gave her the drink and she paid.

The rest of the day was terrible. I was thinking of her the entire time. She was truly pretty.

My shift ended and I reluctantly left.

When I arrived home, Dakota was sitting in the kitchen talking with her friend Lani.

"Hi, Matt!"

I waved at them and went inside my room.

Kennedy..

She seems nice..

***
I woke up and hurried to work.

I was hoping Kennedy would be there.

"Bye Kota!"

"Bye?"

When I got to work I waited for a customer.

Then she walked in.

This time, I talked with her,

Got to know her.

She came every day, until one day I got her number.

And we talked more, and then we went on dates.

At present time, Kennedy is my girlfriend of five months. I love her, and I always make her a chocolate frappe. Every morning!
