"I thought you were meeting an Au Pair friend. That didn't look like an Au Pair friend. That looked more like a date." she said.
I blushed a deep red. "Well, I said that I would go out with a friend … and that’s what I did … How could I know that it would turn into a date?" I stumbled.
My host mum started smiling. "You are 19 years old, you don’t have to be embarrassed if you go on a date."
I smiled at her. "I am really tired, I'm gonna go to bed. Good night." I said and went into my room as fast as I could. I didn’t want her to ask me a bunch of questions. I didn’t want to ruin this perfect night.
I had no problems falling asleep that night and I woke up happy, not grumpy as usual.
It was weekend and I had to work Saturday and Sunday, but I texted with Tyler as much as I could, so time would fly by until Monday morning.
Once Monday was here I woke up extra early so I could get myself ready. I wanted to look good, but still natural. I didn't know what to wear, so it took me even longer to get ready.
We wanted to meet up for brunch and since I had no idea how to get there, Tyler said he would pick me up.
This time I wasn't ready when the doorbell rang. I was almost ready, but not quite.
I opened the door. "Hey, come in for a minute. I need to get a few more things." I said.
"Take your time." he just said and stepped in. I closed the door behind him and ran off to my room to get my purse and my phone. Also I couldn’t resist looking into the mirror, checking if I looked good enough. Thinking that it was fine, I ran back down and got my shoes and my jacket from the garage. I hoped that I wasn’t starting to sweat from all that running around.
I took a deep breath when I finally stood in front of Tyler, ready to go. "Sorry, it was a hectic morning." I apologized.
"That’s ok." he said smiling. "I am just happy to see you again."
That was like the sweetest thing he could say at that moment and it made me so happy. "Me too." I said back. "Should we go?" I asked then opening the door.
"Sounds like a good idea." he said laughing a little and went out the door to his car.
I locked the door behind me and followed him to his car.
We drove to a little restaurant downtown, that was close to our University Building, so we parked in the University lot and walked to the restaurant, where he had a reservation for brunch. It seemed like he really planned that date.
We got a cute little table for two and there was even a rose on the table.
We ordered our food and just talked about movies and music we liked and just other random stuff until Tyler stopped talking and just stared at me. I was a little confused about that.
"Do I have something weird on my face?" I asked getting self conscious.
Tyler just smiled and shook his head.
"What is it then?" I asked starting to bite my lip afterwards.
"You are just so amazing. You are beautiful, smart, funny, how come you don't have a boyfriend?" I could see that he meant what he said.
"Maybe because you are the first person who sees all these things in me." I said honestly. I really didn’t know why I didn’t have a boyfriend. I know that I am not ugly, I am not saying that I am the most beautiful girl, but still, I am not ugly. I also know that I am smart, at least to a certain degree and I even think that I can be funny at times. But I still didn’t have a boyfriend, and I don’t know why. "And the boys who have seen some of that in me friend zoned me."
