High Hopes ♡ Bradley Beal

"The world keeps spinning. It won't stop, it's just beginning. 'Cause I got high hopes, high hopes. High hopes for me and you. And we grow old, I'll say "I told you so." Cause I got high (high, high) hopes"- High Hopes by The Vamps

Bradley looks at Amber with pure admiration as they sit at a small coffee shop in downtown DC. He met the 26 year old publicist the day before at a charity event in DC. Bradley saw her smiling with small glass of wine in her hand and he knew instantly that he had to speak to her. You could call it love at first sight, but he knew when he first laid eyes on her, that he had to introduce himself and speak to her.

They started speaking and she surprised him by not being the type of woman that he expected her to be. She's different and a little unpredictable, which is definitely something he likes in people. They clicked very quickly and they spent the rest of the night speaking. They exchanged numbers and he even offered to take her out for coffee the next morning, wanting to see her immediately. He just hopes she felt the same connection he felt when he met her the night before.

He watches as she speaks to him about her job and funny moments that she has had at her job and he can't help but smile. He feels like the world is spinning non-stop and that he's living some kind of miracle.

He has high hopes for the two of them, even though they only met the night before. He hopes that this will be the beginning to a beautiful friendship and eventually, a great relationship. Even though he's only known for less than 24 hours, he feels like he can and will grow old with her. He hopes that she will fall in love with her, just like he has fallen for her in such a short time.

He can picture himself moving in with her and then getting married to her. He would cry as she would walk down the aisle towards the altar. Their wedding would be in his hometown of St. Louis and their honeymoon would be on some private or remote island, where they could be free to do whatever they want by themselves.

He quickly snaps out of his daydream and focuses on the cup of scolding hot coffee in front of him and the words that are falling from Amber's lips. He takes a sip of the coffee and immediately thinks about how weird he's acting. He has only known this woman for less than 24 hours, and he is already daydreaming about their future together. 

As he continues to listen to Amber talk about herself and her life growing up, he can't help but feel like he's known her for years, regardless of how weird that sounds. He starts thinking about how he needs to not mess this up because Amber is probably the most amazing woman he has met so far and he doesn't want her to slip away. He may just have to rehearse the things he says to her in his head before he says them, even though that sounds weird.

He just prays that God has finally led him towards the right woman for him and that she feels the same way he does.
