The Man of My Dreams

Friday: Simple Sweet Care

Everything has been happening so fast from this Sunday, to already the next weekend? We've only been on two dates but we have been texting a lot. Sometimes we even call each other at night instead of me watching TV with my kitten Charles. Instead I would be me petting Charles while he's talking on the phone. His voice was so raspy at night and even in the morning, he would send me morning texts like, good morning beautiful!!!! I honestly couldn't believe that this man was falling for me and the fact that I was falling for him so hard and it hasn't even been a full week. Don't even talk about how he's a dad.... I mean that's kinda hot not gonna lie. I still feel like I'm in a dream and knowing me it's going to end badly. It's Friday afternoon and he's already texted me good morning and then I get another text this afternoon he says "Hey there gorgeous I was wondering if you would want to come over to my house? I know we've only been on two dates but I have a lot of yard work to do today but I still want you around. If you say yes I'll have some lemonade and POPSICLES waiting for you at the door." oh my God How could this man want me around like honestly I barely even talk I just stare at him. I started to text..... what am I gonna say? Yes, I wanna come over? What if I actually throw up on him this time? I mean it's his house, what if he's poor, what if he's rich? God what does he live in? What if he's right down the street? God all these things are coming in my head right now and I can't handle it. I never can handle what I am talking about. I start to stroke my kitten Charles to help calm me down and relieve stress and overthinking. God he's so handsome the way he smiles his white teeth and just his green beautiful eyes. I wonder what he's gonna be wearing if I say yes. Holy crap I need to say yes soon, this is for today. I hurried to my phone and turn it on. I decided to text him "Yeah I'm free I would love to come over and either watch you or help you with yard work lol" I clicked send. WAIT "lol"? I'm not 12. I should've just done :-) or maybe I shouldn't have put anything. I need to stop over thinking.... if he likes me right? Oh god did I screw up? I have this one thing and I'm gonna screw it up. 10 minutes passed and he still hasn't texted me back. I know I shouldn't be freaked out like he's probably doing yard work, but what if I'm too late but, what if I don't get to see him at all. Damn did I miss my chance? I should've texted him earlier, fuck. After 10 minutes more, I see a notification on my phone. It's him, Enzo. I'm shaking while I'm looking at my phone, god what is he gonna say? Is it a no? He might say never mind. I open it and he says "That's great I can't wait to see you! Here's my address, come whenever you'd like." he sent me his address and oh my God he only lives like 10 minutes away from me. That's perfect. That means anytime if I wanted to see him I could see him really soon. Wait no that's not a good thing cause what if we don't work out? I'm gonna have to move away, maybe even move countries. I don't wanna be close to him? fuck no stop ruining in the moment it will be fine. I put on a casual outfit but this time I started to wear shorts. I know I don't really like my body but it's really hot outside and I bet we're gonna be out there for a while. I will go with a white tank top this time. I'm not trying to wear black all the time, at least for his sake I don't want him to think I'm some goth. Anyways I drove down to his house and I'm here to see him!!!! oh my God I see him!!! He's wearing a fucking white tank top, with some denim jeans a brown belt and he's wearing flip-flops.... damn that outfit is so hot. He looked a little sweaty and his hair was tied back in a somewhat half down half ponytail look and that jawline oh my God!!!!!! I could look at that forever. His tannish skin glowed in the sunlight. I see his son in the driveway playing with some chalk the kid seemed to be drawing stuff on the pavement. Enzo saw me in my car and waved me down. He tells me to go park in the driveway and then he walks right up to my car.... no he doesn't just walk up to my car he runs up to my car making sure that I don't have to open the door. oh god he's such a gentleman I wonder if this is gonna last forever or if it's only a thing that he does in the beginning to make women fall for him. He opens my door and says " I'm so glad I got to see you today, sorry about the very casual look today. I'm gonna get pretty messy today trying to start this lawnmower." I look him up and down and smile god he's so pretty I say "Oh no it's perfectly fine with me, I dressed casual too since we're gonna be out in the yard all day things might get a little sweaty." he then says with a smile "Great! well I'm going to be over next to the lawnmower. I'm trying to get it to work. If you want you can sit right next to me I'd love for you to watch." I slightly nod and still am looking him up and down. God his skin is so smooth and His body was really sweaty but it glistens in the sunlight. That white tank top was doing him so many favors, it was doing me a favor actually and I think he knew what he was doing. I just know he decided to wear that for me or at least he knew it would get me all flustered. After a while I said hi to Luka, his 10-year-old son and let's just say the kid was really sweet and apologized for pushing me in the pool. Luka was really nice and he was really sweet. I started actually drawing some things on the pavement with him while his father Enzo fixed the lawn mower. He started to pull the wire to get the motor to start running for his lawnmower and damn his arms are so muscular they're not that kind of muscular that people have in bodybuilding. It's more like a buff and strong but I still have some warm cuddles to give. This day has been going really well. It's been about an hour or so and he's finished up the lawn and I have been watching his son Luka who is actually a really cool little boy. Once Enzo finally finished, Luka asked his dad if he could play at his neighbor's house. I knew Luka was grounded but I really wanted to spend some time alone with Enzo. His face looked like he was a little mad that he asked and I was scared that we put him in a bad mood. Maybe I should leave? Next thing I know I hear "Only this once Luka, just remember you're still grounded and I want you here in about an hour." Oh my god yes!!! I'll get to spend some time with Enzo alone in his home. I wonder if I should go to his home alone with him. I mean I still barely know him, but something about him being a father figure makes me believe he might not be a serial killer. Although if I'm wrong that's kind of hot. God I wonder what his house looks like on the inside. For the record it looks like a cute modern home in a simple suburban house setting, it has a red door and the house is mostly brick, red brick in fact. It's very simple. It's a cozy home. I think it even has a fireplace. When I look up on the roof I see like a chimney I think??...'' Would you like to come in and have a drink?" I was zoning out until he said that I didn't know what to say so I didn't say anything at all. I just kind of stared at him. I do that a lot, I've realized. He smiled and figured out that I was probably not gonna say anything for a while and led me into the home. He led me to the living room, oh my god what an adorable looking place!! he definitely has some sense of style not everything was out of place and things looked a tiny bit more organized than what men usually do. A lot of it was organized and a lot of it was clean. I kind of figured that he might've cleaned up because I was coming over but who knew? He led me to the kitchen to get a drink. I was wondering if it was gonna be an alcoholic one or not because honestly I was so nervous I think I need a drink. I mean come on I'm in this guy's home. The fact that a single guy even has a home. Usually guys just live in apartments or with roommates but I guess he's more civilized than them. But I mean being my dream man and all of course he would be civilized. "Here's your drink." I looked at the glass and it's nice cold fresh glass of lemonade. instead of me saying thank you I say, "You sure you didn't put any drugs in this to kill me?" What the fuck what did I just say. Jesus Christ what the fuck was I thinking. "(Haha) no no I wouldn't....well at least not yet. It would be too soon, don't you think?" I can't believe what I just heard. There's no way that he said that. That kind of turned me on I mean....I don't know maybe it's just because I'm into serial killers. Anyways my thoughts were do I drink this or not. Of course it did look very refreshing and since I've been out in the sun all day I decided to chug it down. Also I think I was getting really nervous, especially since he said I mean if he was a serial killer I would be into it. Let's hope he's not though its the 21st-century and it would be really difficult to murder someone and get away with it. Unless he was really smart, oh my God I wonder if he's really smart? While I'm thinking all these things I'm chugging down that lemonade and he's just staring at me like I am insane. After I finished my glass in less than like five seconds I heard him say "Wow, well I guess you were thirsty then." He then gives me a smile and then starts chugging down his lemonade as well to make me feel like I'm not the outcast which was so cute. I felt so important and I felt like I wasn't being too weird in fact he matched my weirdness perfectly. Anyways he poured me another glass of lemonade and honestly I was hoping that he wouldn't. I didn't want to have to go to the restroom in his house like what if the toilet's broken? And I can't flush? I was really thinking of everything that could go wrong on this date because everything can go wrong. In fact the way I met him everything did go wrong. After he poured me my lemonade we started to walk towards the couches in the living room. We sat down and just rested in the nice cool refreshing AC. I got to know a little bit more about him and every time I did it just made me fall for him more....which was a great thing but also a scary thing. Being scared of a relationship is not normal but is this even going to be a relationship? Or it's just a fling? I mean he calls me beautiful and all but is it even because he likes me or is he just using me... he kissed me come on it has to be that he likes me, he wants to have a relationship with me right? I hope I'm right. All these ideas going to my mind I totally forgot that he was speaking. I look into his deep green eyes as he stares right into my eyes as well. gosh he's so pretty. He's sitting down on the couch with his arms stretched acting pretty comfy as I sat on the other side in a very tight corner because I'm very awkward. Gosh he's so HOT I can't stop thinking about him. Then he asked me the question I really didn't want him to ask, "How is your relationship with your family?" Now for a normal girl who doesn't have as many problems with their family this should be an easy question, maybe I could lie and say oh yeah I've had a great family, so I don't have to cry in front of him or throw up from the stress of my family. But let's just say when he asked that question my smile slightly turned into a frown and he saw. He then comes to say, "Oh I'm sorry if that's a rough subject for you I didn't know." I slowly look up at him instead of looking at the floor. I say "It's ok I just feel like it's gonna ruin the moment." He then comes to say "It won't ruin the moment trust me and if you're not ready to talk about it with me I totally understand. I just want you to understand that you're never going to ruin the moment. In fact you're so beautiful I don't think anything could ruin this moment even if you tried." Gosh the way he says words, the way he makes me feel so warm and protected in my heart and soul. How could this man be real,like seriously? How could he be real? It's been over an hour and we start talking about more lighthearted things and things that are less difficult for me to open up with a new person. His son Luka opens the door, Enzo gets up and says "Look you're back, that's great, did you have a fun time?" His son slowly nodded his head and said thanks for letting him get to play outside with his friends instead of him being grounded all day. God he's so sweet to his son. I know it's wrong to look at Dad figures as attractive and hot and good-looking but damn Enzo can do all of that. Luka makes a lemonade and heads up to his room to do homework. Now that there's a kid in the house I feel less awkward knowing there's a third person in the house that's way more innocent than adults are. Because of this I kind of felt a little more safe but a little sad that I wouldn't get to spend anymore alone time with Enzo.... I didn't want anything to happen since I just met this man. But I still wanted things to happen, especially since he already kissed me. Once the son goes up stairs to his room, Enzo decides to get up and says "Hey I'll be right back gorgeous I just need to change my shirt so I can hold you." Hold Me??? Hold me!!! I was screaming in my head internally. I can't believe he said that out loud. He then walks away but before he does he gives me a kiss on the forehead. At that moment I was finally free to release all of my bottled up nervousness out in the open. "Uhhhhh..." "oh my god" I said silently under my breath. He started to walk back and instead of his white tank top on he had a black T-shirt. He then comes and sits right next to me and asks if I wanna watch a movie. I say yes of course, and before he even puts his arm over my head I say "I have to pee!" he then stops and laughs and says "OK then, I guess that makes sense since you drank all that lemonade." I laughed too but seriously I really had to pee. I got up from the couch and went to the bathroom and holy crap there is mascara under my eye like no tomorrow I guess it's because I was sweating so much.... I fixed myself up in less than three minutes and went pee. Afterwards I smelled myself just to make sure I didn't stink. If I'm gonna be in the arms of this man I don't wanna smell. After staring at myself in the mirror saying, you have this, you're amazing, you deserve this, I walk out of the bathroom and he's already put on a movie. Oh my God the movie is Singing in The Rain, my jaw drops and he sees, again he looks at me with a smile and he laughs and says "Well since you said you love this movie so much and I like it too. I was thinking maybe we should watch a little bit of it. I know it's getting late but a little is better than nothing. I'd rather you be here for as long as I can have you". I gave him a smile. I looked at him as if I was a little girl getting a puppy for Christmas. I was so happy and ecstatic for what was going to happen. I walked slowly to the couch right next to him as he opened up his arms and body as if he wanted me to cuddle into his arms. I slowly went in and as a bold move I kissed him on the cheek as soon as we started cuddling. I knew he liked that because afterwards he squeezed me tight in a big hug on the side and then kissed me on the lips. He starts to play the movie, we watch for a little bit. And when I say we started watching it for a little bit I mean I fell asleep. It was like an hour into the movie and I started to doze off. I mean he was so warm and it was so cold in this house. It was the perfect temperature. I felt like I was so safe and I was really tired from playing with Luka and being outside all day. I wake up and the movie is already over and it's dark outside. I saw that he also fell asleep with his head resting on mine. God....I never wanted to leave but I really had to. I had a couple things to do at home and I totally forgot that I had to go over to Chloe's house to go give her something. I tried to go as slow as possible to get up. I didn't want him to wake up but...he wakes up and says "Don't go, I feel so safe around you." I hug him really strongly and say "I have to, there's important things I need to do with my best friend today." After that we kissed and he walked me out to my car, opening the door for me like he always did. He gave me another kiss then waved me goodbye. No, I didn't want that night to end. I was so grateful I got to be with him, and I really hope I wasn't snoring.
