Tomorrow

Chapter four

As I walk up the stairs to my apartment, I start to replay everything from tonight. I start to feel my tummy turning and my cheeks burning. I'm just so excited that I can go out with Min. I've never felt this way about anyone and the more I start to learn about him the harder it is to stop thinking about him. In my past relationships, it always felt like something was missing but I just couldn't figure it out. As I reach my door, I grab my phone to call Jen.

The phone starts to ring and on the sconed ring she picks up.

"Oh my gosh RAYYYYY," Jen says with excitement in her voice.

I let out a giggle "Jen my heart I can't, I think I like him."

" Honestly, I've known Min for a while and I've never seen him act like with anyone, he's usually reserved and never really makes eye contact with anyone, and doesn't seem interested in general, but today it was like he was a different person I was in shock, so was Tate he couldn't stop talking about how he doesn't even lean on his shoulder he was a little jealous."

it's hard to think that he's acting differently around me maybe he's interested in me or maybe he wants to get close.

"Well, he did say he wanted to go out with me sometime but, I don't know if he meant it as like on a date or as friends. I'm just nervous 'cause I don't want him to feel weird around me, you know I can't hide how I feel." I say plopping on my bed while Yuki wiggles around me stomping on my hair.

"Well just go in as friends for now until you're sure he has feelings for you, you can't be afraid you haven't been putting yourself out there since your last break up, don't overthink it you'll be okay. I have to go but let's talk more tomorrow Tate is starting to get grumpy, Bye love you Ray" she says making a kissing sound at the end.

"Bye, I'll see you tomorrow and be safe love you," I say giggling at the way she seems rushed.

I drop my phone next to me and start to play with Yuki.

"What should I do Yuki," I say out loud and he turns to me tilting his head to one side. I giggle and bombard him with kisses.

I'm just scared, I haven't been in a relationship in a while let alone like someone since a year ago. That relationship was so tiring and painful that I hadn't thought about being romantic with anyone. I get up from my bed and head towards the shower. I take my makeup off and start to undress, I step in and turn on the water. As the water hits me, I feel this sense of relief flow through my body. I look down and see my healed scars from months ago and get a pain in my chest. It's hard to look at them without remembering him and how awful he was. when I'm done, I put on a big hoodie and some shorts and head to the living room to watch a show. As I sit down, I hear my phone ring. It's a text from Yoon.

Hey sorry, I had to leave early. My mom needed some help with some things and asked me to come over.

Is everything alright?

Yes, they just went to the store and their car didn't want to start so I had to go pick them up.

Oh gosh, are they alright?

Yeah, they're having the car picked up and taking it to the shop tomorrow nothing to worry about.

Okay, that's good to hear I was a bit worried when you left out of nowhere.

Yeah, sorry about that. so how did the dinner go?

Honestly great! I got a ride from Min, and before he dropped me off, he asked to hang out.

Really... did you say yes?

I didn't replay, I was just too nervous.

Huh, why for?
