love shouldn't be messy

panic panic panic

What the hell was I thinking. WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING. Why would I invite the guy who hates me to a meet-up. At a sweets shop no less! I'm so fucked. What if he doesn't show up? What if he does show up but does something that would embarrass me? What if-

"Hey." It's him. He's here already?! Why so early?! It's not even 3:30 yet!

"Oh um, heyyy-" I blush a little. "I don't know your name yet," I try desperately to melt into my seat to no avail.

"Nope, I'm not telling you my name stalker boy" Luckily, he said this after sitting down.

"I thought I said in the note not to call me that!" I say in a panic while subtly looking around to see if someone heard.

"Oh, you did, but why should I listen? You're the one at risk. I'm just the victim here." He looks smug and completely in control of himself

Shit shit shit, what do I do. I think I've gone too deep. If he calls the cops I'm fucked. I'm already on their watch list for criminal activity. Fuck fuck fu-

"So what are you buying me as repayment?"

What? "Uh, what? I look at him in confusion

"That is why you chose the sweet shop, right? To buy me sweets? As my stalker I guess you'd know that I like them."

Holy shit, I just came here cause they don't have many customers. How the hell would I have known he liked sweets?!

"Yeah, sure. Just get whatever you want, don't worry about the price." I hope he bought that.

"Hmm, I guess you really aren't a good stalker. I hate this shop. Not sweets, but the shop. I had a traumatizing incident here."

Fuck, shit, shit fuck. What the hell am I supposed to do now?! This is such an awful start! Can I even recover from this

"Anyway, Darwin, why are we here?"

His voice snaps me out of my panic. How can a person's voice be so angelic yet so harsh. It's so smooth, yet so brash.

"Hey, I asked you a question!" He snaps his fingers in my face, which startled me and made me jump.

"Oh, um, what was it?" I try not to get too embarrassed

"I asked why are we here, Darwin?"

Hearing him say my name sent shivers down my spine, which caused a certain reaction in my groin area.

Fuck, not here, not right now!

"Darwin? Do I get an answer?"

Why does he keep saying my name!?

"Uh, um. I w-wanted to apologize" fuck, I stuttered, why does he do these things to me.

"Apologize?"

"Yes, apologize. I can see how my actions may have been stalkerish, but I'm really not a stalker. I was just looking at you through the window because..." Wait, what the hell am I saying?! Was I just about to confess my love after trying to convince him I'm not a stalker?! That would just make things worse! What do I do now?! I backed myself into a corner! Maybe I shoul-

"Because? You zone out a lot. What were you about to say?"

"It's because you're cute!" I blurt out and then immediately slap my hands over my mouth. WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST SAY!?! Oh fuck, he's looking at me weird, I gotta get out of here!

Darwin quickly stands up and starts running towards the door

"Wait!" Vex says. But Darwin is already gone and down the street.

"Damn, I didn't get the chance to tease him." Vex snaps his fingers in disappointment. "I wonder when I'll see him again."
