The Man of My Dreams

That same Sunday: After the move what comes next?

It's been a very long day. From getting drenched by a couple of kids, to meeting the man of my dreams and then helping Chloe's parents move out I wonder what's going to happen next. "Thank you for helping us girls with moving out, we'll see you guys later" Chloe's parents said. "No problem, I hope you guys have a great time driving to your new place!!" I said with a big smile on my face as I waved them goodbye. After that I kinda forgot about him, but not really only for a split second. "Did he call you yet?" My friend said, " I don't know, I haven't checked. Maybe? I'm kind of scared. What if he did or what if he didn't?" I got nervous as all those words came out of my mouth. "Chill Out!!" My friend said "He will call or at least text. I hope I gave him the right phone number. I sometimes mix your number with my husbands." Oh my God!! she was so right she might have. Her husband and I have the same phone number except for two numbers at the end!!! Shit! What if he texts her husband?! Well I guess it would be fine because at least I could still have his number. It just would be a little awkward to text him from two different phones. Oh I hope it won't be that chaotic. I hope she put the right number. " It's OK I think I did it right this time" she said with a not so sure look on her face. " But he was cute. He kinda reminds me of like all the guys that you've ever liked on TV. He definitely is a keeper, especially the fact that he was so sweet to you even though his kid pushed you in the pool" my friend said, chuckling on the side. " Chloe it was so embarrassing the fact that I fell in the pool and was drenched. I literally had zero makeup on. I was freaking out!!!" " I could tell," Chloe nodded. We soon started to head out of the neighborhood. As we walked back to her car so we could go home. I completely forgot to check my phone. What if he texted me and wanted me to respond? What if I didn't respond in time and what if he didn't text me at all? All these ideas ran through my head and all of them were bad. I kept thinking to myself he probably doesn't even like me or he was probably just trying to be nice. Of course....all those nice things he said to me like how he liked that I was right next to him or how he enjoyed talking to me. I was getting so flustered thinking about it!!! Back to the phone.... I start to push the button to unlock my phone and I see a voicemail from a random number. HOLY CRAP!! Could this be Enzo!?! I didn't wanna get too excited but my friend definitely knew that I was so eager to open it. I wanted to wait till I got back home so I wouldn't be disappointed in front of my friend just in case it wasn't true. After a while of us talking in the car about what he said to me. She looked so happy for me. She was glad that I found a guy that was really nice to me instead of those bad boy characters that really don't care about girls like me. As a girl of the plus sized community I do get paranoid that people use me because of my body. I try to overlook it because in this instance I met my perfect guy. I hope I'm what he calls perfect too. I genuinely doubt it because well I have zero confidence. But gosh I can't stop thinking about that voicemail I really hope it's him. He was in my head the whole day. Enzo this Enzo that.... He is so so handsome and is literally the man of my dreams. I know I am being chaotic and very dreamy weamy and kind of girlish but this is the first time this has ever happened to ME!!! And I don't wanna let this reality go away. My friend drops me off and we then start saying our goodbyes. It was kind of late. And when it gets late around my area the sprinklers turn on and I really hate getting wet. But today it was okay... the sprinklers turned on like they always do and instead of me running away I embraced it like. I was dancing in the somewhat rain like I was in a movie scene. Ughh I love this lovey-dovey feeling but I also hate it. I wish I could go away. I have goosebumps and I still feel like throwing up. I walk inside drenched with some of that sprinkler water. I'm greeted by my kitten Charles. He's so cute he loves to cuddle in my arms as soon as I get home watching TV. But tonight I was watching my phone, actually I was about to listen to the voicemail. I put my things down and sat on the couch praying it was him on the voicemail. I start to play it and I hear someone clearing his throat?..... "Hey I hope this is Mackenzie, the one I met earlier today, the one who sadly got pushed in the pool by my son and his friends. Still sorry about that, I was hoping that there was a day where we could see each other again, maybe get a coffee? I was hoping that you would answer so I could hear your voice again to make sure you're alright and not getting a cold from the water" he started laughing, "Anyways I don't wanna make this voicemail too long just let me know if you can. I know a great place, bye." Oh my god my heart is beating so fast those butterflies are coming back and I feel like throwing up more than ever!!! I'm so happy he wants to get coffee with me. Wait!!!! I can't get too overexcited if he just wants to be friends. I keep thinking and thinking that this guy is really the man of my dreams and he's gonna sweep me off my feet but I really can't get too flustered right now. I mean I barely know this guy. What if he's a serial killer like Ted Bundy? What if he is just using me? I can't have these things in my head ruining my mood. My kitten Charles comes up to me and starts purring. I decided to pet him and put down my phone but really I should be texting him. I mean come on this is my one shot. I decided I'm going to shower and maybe make a cup of tea before I text him. I really don't know what to say? (After the Shower)

I take my shower and after a while I start to calm down and I don't have the fluttery feeling as strong as it was when I first heard the voicemail. I start to replay the voicemail over and over again about like 50 times just to hear his voice. He sounds so sweet and so gentle. What am I gonna say to him? What am I gonna text? Alright alright I'm gonna text him right now. I go to his number, put his name on my contact list and decide to text him "Hey this is Mackenzie, and yes I would love to have a coffee sometime when are you free?" I click send!!! Oh my gosh oh my gosh was this the right thing to do was I to forward!! Calm down, calm down, everything's going to be fine. I start rapidly drinking my tea because it's cooled down. I wait for a response. Five minutes later and I see that he opened it. The little dots showing me that he's typing something it starts freaking me out. Oh my god oh my god!!!!What should I do? He then sends "Hey that's great! I'm free tomorrow morning if that isn't too soon?" Tomorrow? oh my God tomorrow!?! Well I guess I'm not gonna sleep tonight I got a plan out what I'm gonna say to him at the cafe!!! Before I could even think I sent him "Yes that sounds great, how about 8am?" I then wait for a response and he answers really quickly and says "Perfect, I can't wait to see you" and then sends me the location of the place. He said something about it being really quiet and nice, a perfect place to get to know each other. Has this really happened to me? I honestly wanted to splash a bunch of water on my face but I've gotten drench on enough for today. After being so nervous and getting goosebumps from those texts I finally decided to go to bed. I'm gonna wake up probably three hours earlier so I can get ready. I'll put on makeup and figure out my clothing options. Because it's going to take me hours to figure out what kind of outfit I even want to wear. Gosh, why is it so hard to be me? Why can't I be one of those pretty girls On TV that just looked good in 10 minutes. Anyways, for now I'm going to bed.
