It's been 2 days since I met the wonderful Mr. Clifford. Once I got home I decided to see what was the last thing he wrote on the napkin, and i was shocked at what it was.
He gave me his number! Honestly I didnt belive that it was his number at first, but just to test it I decided to text it and ask if it was him and tell him I was the girl from the mall.
Surprisingly he responded less than an hour later saying it was him and that he remembered me. I found out through my sister that the boys would be in my city for nearly a week. So I decided that maybe I really should "keep in touch" with Mikey. I texted him to see if he was free, then called when he said he was.
"Hello" he answered surprisingly cheerfully.
" Hi" I said nervously
" Do you have any plans for today?" I asked partially hoping he would say yes. I was honestly terrified of being alone with him.
" Nope, I figured I'd just play fifa all day."
" Oh, well what do you think about me giving you a tour of this wonderful city of brotherly love?" I asked figuring I should at least make conversation since I am the one who called him.
" Yeah that sounds amazing!"
" And you can ask the boys if they'd like to come too."
" Nah, I think they already made plans. So I guess it's just me and you." He said the last part somewhat like a question but also with a hint of hope.
" Oh, okay" I said knowing I probably sounded just as nervous as I felt.
" OK so where should we meet up or whatever? "
" Umm you could meet me by city hall I guess. Do you know how to get there?"
" No, but I can figure it out."
" Ok, cool. See you in like an hour, bye."
I quickly hung up after saying that because I was already nervous talking to him, and it takes me unnecessarily long to get ready.
------
After waiting for Michael for almost 10 minutes in front of city hall, I saw him coming up from the subway with a lost look on his face. So I went across the street to him so he wouldn't get lost." hey Michael."
" Hey... "
" Oh yea, sorry. I forgot I never actually told you my name, it's Dima." I swear I'm the most awkward person ever, how can I be talking to someone and not even tell them my name.
" Oh, okay that's pretty."
" Yup... so, I honestly don't really know what we can do. But I mean we can just sit in love Park for a while if you want." I said cause I was kind of starting to regret asking him to meet me, because now I don't know what to do.
" Umm, sure. " he said following me across the street to love park.
" Have you ever been here before? " I said trying to make conversation.
" Nope, normally when I'm here I just go to the venue and sometimes out to eat, then it's back to the hotel or the bus."
" Oh, well I'm glad I'm the first to show you around." I said with a smile slowly starting to feel more comfortable.
" Yup" he smiled and laughed a litte. " So what exactly do you do at love park?" he said the name in a funny voice.
I laughed and said " Well, nothing really. It's just kind of a place where people go to hang out, I usually just sit in front of the fountain and watch the people skate and dance and stuff."
" Oh, that sounds cool."
" We don't have to stay here too long. I'm sure you'll get bored pretty fast of watching a fountain. "
He gives a light laugh and says "I'm just here to chill with you so whatever you want to do is fine with me."
I have to admit, I blushed a little when he said that and I'm not even really sure why.
" Okay then " I say with a slight smile. " We can sit here for a while then we can go down south street. I think you'll like it there."
" Oh really? And what's down there that I'll enjoy so much?" he questions with a smirk and his eyebrows raised slightly.
" Well, I don't know really. But I like it down there because it is probably the most eccentric and lively part if the city no matter what time of day"
" Oh ok, that sounds nice. So what do you want to do when we get there?"
" I personally like shopping because you can find a lot of things that aren't very popular and not everyone will have. But we can do whatever you want because they have evrything. We could shop, eat, get tattoos, or just walk around."
" Oh, you like tattoos huh? You don't really look like you would be in to stuff like that." He said honestly.
" Well I'm into a lot of stuff I may not look like I would be into." I said with a wink. I don't know why though, because I felt like a weirdo after that.
He gave me a smirk and said "Oh, that's good to know. I can't wait to find out what else you're into."
I just laughed and told him to follow me to the train so we could make our way to South street.
-------
" So as your tour guide today I have decided that we should start with some food, because I don't know about you but I'm starving."" Sure. What fine cuisine will we be having?" he said in a posh tone.
" We will be having a Philadelphia classic. The one and only cheesesteak." I said in the same tone.
" Oh okay, I've never had one. I'm honestly really excited about this because I've heard so much about it." he said in a very excited voice with a huge grin on his face.
" Good thing you're with me for your first time. I know where to get the best one from."
" Ok "
-------We just got our food about 15 minutes ago, and Michael was nearly done.
" Damn Michael slow down, it's not going anywhere."
He laughed and said " You never know, and I'm hungry as shit. This is delicious."
He was cheesing so hard, all from food. He looked so cute.
"Okay" I said while laughing.
" Well, when you're finished re-murdering that poor cow we can walk around a little." I said as I was wrapping the rest if my food up.
" Okay " he said laughing with a piece of sandwich in his mouth.
------------The pic at the top is love park in Philadelphia.
And a cheeesteak is like a sub with sliced steak or chicken on it. It's kind of one of the things philly is known for and most people eat them with French fries. And if you want to see what a cheesesteak looks like you can Google it but some of the picture don't look appetizing.
And I know that the boys had cheesesteaks before but the places they went to are nasty and it's just a book so that doesn't really matter.
