-a year later-
-11.30 a.m.-
"Hey Taylor.", Felix said
"Hey.", Taylor replied
"Hey I'm so glad y'all are both here. We're not necessarily working today, we're just staying long enough to have a little party. Today is a celebration day because you two along with your other coworkers have been here a full 365 days. And y'all are all super brilliant and so amazing to have.", the owner Genevieve said
"Wow really thanks Genevieve.", Felix said
"We're gonna have a bunch of pizza, soda, chips and three cookie cakes plus two big things full of cupcakes.", Genevieve said
"Love it. Sounds good.", Felix said
...
-Genevieve waits for all her employees to show up then she starts the party-
"Taylor, I gotta talk to you.", Felix told her
"What's up?", Taylor asked Felix
"So we've known each other for a full year. And we've grown a decent close friendship in the past year. I've gotten to know you for the past year and everything in that matter. Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm...... Taylor, I've started developing deep feelings for you. I like you and I'm starting to fall in pure love for you.", Felix told Taylor
"Seriously???", Taylor asked feeling the same way but her anxiety was starting to kick in bad
"Yes!!", Felix said
"Can we continue to get to know each other and maybe by the end of the month we can start dating? I really want you for you. Not sex or anything like that, I just want you. I can tell your a very sweet girl with a huge heart. Your so kind to everybody even if they're not kind back to you. Your wonderful and amazing and brilliant and I wanna be the one who gets to love you and only you everyday of my life. I can see me marrying you and having kids of our own. I see us growing old together Taylor. I want that.", Felix told Taylor
"I know this is a bunch to take in but I couldn't keep it from you any longer. I want you Taylor and I hope by the end of this month you'll give me the chance to prove it.", Felix said
"We can do that. Spend the rest of this month getting to know each other and I'll make my decision by the first of next month.", Taylor said
"Great, great. Thank you Taylor.", Felix said
"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm do you have any plans tomorrow night?", Felix asked
"No.", Taylor replied
"How about we go out on a date tomorrow night after work since we get off at 8:30. The fair just opened. We can go to the fair, ride some rides, eat some fair food, win some prizes on games. And afterwards maybe you can come back to my apartment and spend the night even if you sleep in my guest room.", Felix said
"I'd like that.", Taylor said
"Great, great.", Felix said
"Ok. I look forward to it.", Taylor said
...
"Alright everyone I hope this was fun. Y'all are free to go home and enjoy the rest of y'all's day.", Genevieve said
...
"Later Taylor.", Felix said
"Later Felix. See you tomorrow.", Taylor replied
..........
-3:50 p.m.-
-Taylor is having an anxiety attack so she calls Zoey-
"Hey girly!!", Zoey said happily but got concerned quickly once she heard Taylor crying over the phone
"Taylor, talk to me. What is it? I'm here...", Zoey said
"Remember that guy I always talk about? From my job.?", Taylor said
"Yea. Felix.?", Zoey said
"Yea. He told me today he liked me and is starting to fall in love with me and he wants to continue getting to know me and by the first of next month he wants us to start dating. And we're also set for a date tomorrow at the fair afterwork and then I'm spending the night with him afterwards.", Taylor said
"That's awesome. Why are you crying?", Zoey said
"Because I love him. I started loving him six months after I met him. What if I turn out to not be what he wants and he regrets wanting to date me.....?????????", Taylor said
"Taylor relax. It's your anxiety fooling you and tricking you. Felix is a brilliant guy, remember the lyrics from favorite song by toosii, "Someone to tell you your beautiful someone to tell you and mean it, someone to tell you I love you everyday and don't got a reason, someone to bring you peace, someone to help you sleep, someone to pick you up when you're feeling down feeling lonely" "Need somebody who can make it better, somebody who can open up those gates to your heart". That's Felix. Don't listen to anything your anxiety is lying to you about right now. Felix won't hurt you trust him. Give him the chance to love you, he wants to love you, your not hard to love or unlovable.", Zoey said
"You are precious Taylor and Felix sees that. Let Felix be your somebody.", Zoey said
"Ok. Thanks Zoey I love you so much.", Taylor said
"Anytime Taylor.", Zoey said
"I love you.", Zoey said then Taylor hung up the call hoping Zoey's right about Felix and this goes her way and her anxiety doesn't win because she loves Felix and she wants Felix as much as he wants her
