I spent about two and a half hours getting ready. Which was I usual. I thought that was the end of this weird thing until I pulled up at the restetaunt and he was there. I felt my heart go crazy for some reason I almost felt like a teenager meeting her crush for the first time.
And so it went. The whole night was spent laughing and talking. Everything, in a sense, was perfect. I suppose it hit me, this whole love being real thing, when he pulled me out of my seat and we danced. Thought the crowd watched us and though we felt stupid we laughed and at the end of the night he walked me to the truck. The rain begun to pour again and I told him I really had to go.
" what if I don't want You to go?" he smiled and pulled me close.
" then are we suppose to just stand in the rain like a bunch of fool's?" I laughed.
"No, but you could kids me in the rain like a fool." he leaned in and to my surprise I leaned into it. We kissed. Long and passionately. I remembered that is never even asked his name so before I got in the truck I asked him.
"Hey cowboy?" he turned around suddenly and seemed to give off a fine of excitement.
" what should I call you next time we meet?" he smiled and looked around as if his name was some huge secret.
" call me Jace. " I smiled and got into my truck and drive away. Smiling at the name that I loved the sound of it on my lips.
When I got home that jith I jumped in bed and squealed like a little girl.
For a moment, well half the night, I wondered if maybe all the things I've been telling my clients was right. Maybe there was someone out there for everyone. I crawled under the covers and slept very soundly. I dreamt about him. Him, that one person who changed my mind on everything.....
The next day was the last day of the week. Man, the week had flown by, I suppose the only person I have to blame for that is Jace. Hed made every night the best night of my life. I would go home every night and squeal like a little girl.
I met Jenny at the coffee shop again and she seemed to instantly know something was going on.
" who is he?" she asked. I looked around as if I didn't know what she was talking about.
" whose who?" I asked still planning her dates for the next month. I could believe how many emails id gotten for her. She was very pretty.
" the man you've been seeing. " I was in shock. Did everyone know my business nowadays. We weren't here to talk about me. We were here to discuss her.
" how did you know I've been seeing someone?" stupid!! Stupid!!! I should've just played dumb. Sadly she smiled and scooted closer to me. Ugh!!
"Its written all over you're face. I mean you have this beautiful bubble around you. Trust me, I know when someone is in love. You love him don't you? " she giggled, that's the only way I can describe her laugh. How do you answer something like that? I let out a sigh.
" were not here to talk about my love life." she smiled and kept anticipating.
" But if you must know......yes I do think I love him." to hear these words out loud, to actually let them fall out of my mouth drove me crazy. I mean, I've always been this ' no love' type of person but now that I know there is something out there it absolutely stuns me.
