Well shit, I practically gave it away that I'm into her. Might as well go for it now. What can I lose at this point?
"You heard right. I mean, look at you, you're obviously something amazing if I ran in front of a damn car to get to you. I'm usually not affected by anyone. Then there's you. How ironic, your name is Hope, I kind of lost that a long time ago. Maybe I found some sort of 'Hope' now, huh?"
I think I was way more amused by my stupid attempt of a joke than her although she laughed and smiled that award-winning smile.
"Well, Alex you're in luck. You found Hope. Wait a sec, what do you mean by you 'lost hope'?"
Great.
I made a bold move by reaching for her hand. She let me hold it as I let out a sigh which caused an awful pain to shoot through my entire body.
Oh yeah...I got ran over.
"Hope is something you lose when everything in your life turns sour. Hope is something that just dies when you give everything to everyone only to get shit in return. Every time I finally get something going my way, something always happens to cease whatever happiness I have. Always. My apologies, ma'am. I'm rambling your ear off."
"No, don't apologize. I know exactly what you mean by all of that hope talk. I gave up when every guy I've been with couldn't keep it in their pants and screwed like ten other girls while with me all because I wouldn't give them what they really wanted from me..."
Damn..what idiot would even consider cheating on her. She's perfect. Who would just want her for sex... She's too great for that. She's already got some sort of grasp on my barely beating heart.
"You too, huh? It's messed up how people are cruel enough to use you for petty shit like drugs, money, and sex. I'm looking for the real thing but I haven't found anything close to it. Well..."
I smirked and narrowed my eyes like I was thinking about what I just said.
"Well..?" she asked impatiently.
She's so cute when she is eager to know something. I'll have to remember this.
"You seem pretty legit. And...um
..you kind of owe me a date, I mean... I am in the hospital after all thanks to your beauty. "
I gave her the most charming smile I could possibly work up, hoping she won't turn me down.
"Hmmm, you make a good point. It's a date! Whenever you're out of this hellhole anyways. Oh, and I hate to admit it, but I'm glad you were "intrigued" by my so-called beauty. I am happy I got to meet such a silly sweetheart. " she exclaimed using air quotes and giggling like a little school girl who had her first crush talk to her.
Fuck yeah, I got a date. I still got it after all. Maybe... God, Hope don't let me down. You got me feeling alive again. Please don't make me regret this. I don't think I can take it, especially not from you.
