The next day I arrived 15 minutes early for fear of arriving late. I think she also had this fear since I only waited 2 minutes before seeing her.
"Seeing such a pretty girl at 8 a.m. is not easy" she said with a big smile, I felt myself blushing, she was also starting to blush a little.
"Seeing a girl flirting with me at 8 a.m. is even less so" she laughed and then whispered that we should go inside and get something.
We both had a hot chocolate, sat down and started talking a little bit of everything and nothing at the same time. The conversation was so simple with her. Asae told me she was at the uni of art, which I already knew.
It was already 8:55 a.m., so I said goodbye to her and went to my room, Rooney was still sleeping, but woke up right away when she heard me.
"Did you kiss her?" asked Rooney, still half asleep. I would have liked, I would have liked to take her to the toilletes before she started her job, but it was only the first date, I don't even know if it counts as a date.
"No, I don't even know if this thing sounds like a date" Rooney looked up and got up to go to the bathroom
"Invite her to do something tomorrow, I don't known, go to an art museum"
"Do you have money? Because I don't" given her face she must have remembered the price of a museum "Maybe I can invite her to a picnic or something like that, no? Do you think that's a bad idea?" she nods and I send her a message.'
Me- **Heyy, Saturday are you working?**
Asae- **Heyy, Saturday yes but not Sunday, if you're going to invite me on the 2nd date I accept in advance**
Me- **Wow, you're really good at reading my mind, I wanted to invite you to have a picnic by the river**
Asae- **Haha, I accept, and what's more, by the river? Perfect for drowning you (you don't know this but it's been my plan since the beginning hahaha)**
Me- **Oh fuck, that was my plan too**
Asae- *Hahaha, what time do I have to be in front of your room?**
Me- **I don't know, 11:30 maybe**
Asae- **Okay, 11:30 am I'm here**
"Sunday at 11:30 a.m. she comes here, we're going to have a picnic by the river" I said, Rooney was already dressed, well dressed "Already dressed? we start in 3 hours, where are you going?"
"Are you interested?" I nod "I'm going to go see a guy" Rooney is bi and arromantic, basically she doesn't feel romantic feelings but she feels sexual one, so at that moment I know she's just going to have fun with this guy. I've known Rooney since last year for our first year of university. When I met her, she didn't know she was arromantic, I remember all those nights when I had to console her because she felt different for never having had or wanted a partner. It was only at the beginning of this year that she found out what she was, we both joined the pride club, and it helped her a lot.
"Pay attention to the time so you don't arrive late, if something happens send me a message or call me"
"As always, don't worry, nothing will happen"
She came out and I went to revise some biology. 3 hours after I went to class, Rooney was there before I arrived. Again I was only thinking about her, arggg it's hard to learn anything like that. Once I got back to my room after class I messaged her, and then she replied, and then I replied to her and so on until late at night.
The next day, Saturday, I got up around 10 a.m., Rooney wasn't there. I'll send her a message.
Me- **Hellooo, do you want something from starbucks?**
Rooney- **Yes, I beg you I need caffeine!! **
Me- **I'm in the room in about 40 min**
She replied with a thumbs-up emoji. The starbucks just 5 min away, I said 40 min to be wide. I didn't tell her I was passing, I don't even know if she works in the morning. Once I arrived I didn't see her, I came just to see her, well I'm going to go and make my order. I get to the man, a young man, I would say in his twenties, I ask him if Asae is there. He doesn't answer me, he smiles at me and just brings it back to me. I would go and make my order later.
"Heyy" she said with a smile when she saw that I had made the effort to pass "Wait I'm going to tell the boss I'm taking a break, he'll understand, I told him about you the day I saw you" once back she told me to go outside, where all her colleagues would take cigarette poses.
There was no one there, I want to kiss her so badly but I want our first kiss to be tomorrow, in front of the river. I don't know if I should kiss her now. It turns out she doesn't even want to. She's talking, explaining to me the story of a super lazy customer this morning, maybe it's not the right time. When she finished explaining, she looked at the time.
"Oh it's been 15 min, I have to go back to work, I'll take your order" 15 min already? We went back in, she went to the other side of the counter and took my order, a caramel macchiato and a cappuccino for Rooney. I took the drinks, said goodbye to her, and went into the room.
When I got home, Rooney was there, lying on the bed watching tiktoks
"Thank God I really love you," Rooney said as she threw his phone on the bed and stood up "Tell me you kissed her."
"No, she only had a 10 minute break and then she told a story, it was probably not the right time, I don't even know if she wants to" I said as I lay down on the bed to drink my caramel macchiato
"She recognized you on insta, agreed to two dates and you think she doesn't want to kiss you" I just shrug my shoulders and ask us to watch a movie.
2h30 later, when the movie was over, we went for a walk in the city. I spent my day like that, at the end of the day, we went home so I could prepare the stuff for the next day. Rooney lent me her huge beach towel so we could sit on the grass. After that, we went to bed.
