Crush

Part 4

Nikki's p.o.v. -
I had told Ryan everything but all he did was just stare at me. It felt weird and I didn't know what he was thinking. I had no clue if he liked that Will had set this all up or not. I felt so uncomfortable with every moment he said nothing.

After what felt like two hours the silent tension was broken by two words "You're beautiful."

Well I don't know if it was completely broken because now he had opened up a whole new can of worms but at least it wasn't silent any longer.

Ryan took my hand and walked with me down the road to where they had "The bean" at millennium park.

I could only assume he wanted me to continue talking and getting comfortable with him.

Under the sunset lit cloud gate aka the bean we took photos and got some of the skyline as well.

Ryan looked at me while we stood there asking "Do you believe people can find love without trying?"

I figured he meant "do I believe in love at first sight" so I responded "Honestly, yes I think it's possible. It hasn't happened to me yet but it's possible."

Little did he know it seemed as though it was happening already.

Little did I know he asked me out of personal experience.

We spent the rest of the night talking laughing and exploring Chicago in the darkening sky.

We walked and rode the train back to the hotel and went our separate ways to go to sleep.

In the morning I woke up showered and put on a cute outfit grabbing all my items my camera and phone to take photos.

I got the are where the event was taking place and began scoping that it was going to start soon.

I was able to talk to Laura Finola and Tyler prior to seeing Will.

I enjoyed every second I got to talk to them and when it came time for meeting Will he asked "So how did it go last night?"

I said "We talked for hours and explored all of downtown and the beach. We took lots of photos."

Will asked "So do you think you want to go to Cleveland?"

I was shocked and Ryan walked over to me at the moment I said "Sure!"

Ryan asked "So what's going on now? More plans?"

Will said "I just invited her to join us in Cleveland."

Ryan said "You don't want me single do you?"

Laura spoke up "No he doesn't. Neither do I. She's a nice girl and seems to have a lot in common with you."

Ryan said "Yeah I figured that out last night."

After watching the main event I gave Ryan his gift that was delayed and he asked "What's that?"

I said "Well I don't know if you saw the first video I made you for your birthday but this was the one I never did make until the other day."

Ryan said "Oh yeah I saw that. Thank you that was really cool. That was a great song choice."

Upon figuring out a way to watch this one he said "Thank you so much. That's very awesome. I love Bowie."

I asked "Who doesn't?"
