POV: Riley
I stare at my last text from Luke completely clueless. I had no idea what I was going to say to this boy.
Sadly, this was how my mind worked. So scared to put myself out there that I panic and freak out. It sucks.
June 7, 2016, 10:38 PM
Luke: it's ok if you don't want to meet me
Now that was the last thing I wanted to do. God Riley, you need grow some balls.
June 7, 2016, 10:41 PM
Riley: Tonight.
Did I really just send that? This was crazy. I probably just set myself up for failure.
I mean, I just agreed to meet a complete stranger that I matched with on Tinder. We have only been talking for one day, and it's 10:40 at night.
What the **** are you doing.
I literally had no control over myself. I just typed it and sent it without thinking twice.
June 7, 2016, 10:43 PM
Luke: tonight??
June 7, 2016, 10:45 PM
Riley: Yeah...do you want to meet me tonight?
Look at me, being all spontaneous and sh*t.
June 7, 2016, 10:48 PM
Luke: hell yeah, please
June 7, 2016, 10:50 PM
Riley: Where?
FML. Kate. Here she is passed out next to me after only one episode of The Office. She must have been exhausted from what's going on between her and Josh, and I don't blame her.
But could I just get up and leave her? I mean, our relationship is so close that I know she wouldn't mind, and I have no intentions of staying out the whole night.
June 7, 2016, 10:52 PM
Luke: my hotel??
His hotel was only a few blocks from my apartment.
June 7, 2016, 10:54 PM
Riley: sure! That's fine with me. But what about Mikey??
I do not do well in awkward situations, and having a third party would not be ideal.
June 7, 2016, 10:57 PM
Luke: we have separate hotel rooms, we'll be alone
I swear to god if he's a serial killer...
June 7, 2016, 10:59 PM
Riley: Oh, perfect.
Im starting to regret this with every message I send in response. For all I know, I could be getting catfished.
I need to meet this boy first before I just show up at his hotel door.
June 7, 2016, 11:02 PM
Riley: Will u meet me in the lobby?
June 7, 2016, 11:03 PM
Luke: of course babe, what time would u like??
I need at least 20 minutes to fix my makeup and find something decent to wear. I was not prepared for this.
June 7, 2016, 11:04 PM
Riley: 11:30-11:45ish? I'll make sure to message you before I leave. :)
June 7, 2016, 11:05 PM
Luke: i cannot wait to see you, beautiful
At this point I'm getting nervous. What if I'm not as pretty as I am in my pictures and he's disappointed?
I'm psyching myself out. I need to calm tf down.
June 7, 2016, 11:07 PM
Riley: Me too :)
I walk over to my mirror and look at my reflection. It doesn't help that I look a hot mess.
