TINDER❥ || Scömìche

{ 5 }

My phone rang.
I startled and jumped up.
After sighing because of the sudden sound I tried to grab my cellphone in the dark.
When I finally held my ringing phone in my hands I immediately picked up without looking who was calling me.
"Hello?", I asked with my sleepy morning voice.
"Hey, Mitchy! Good morning! I planned to go to the botanical garden with Jeremy today and wanted to ask if you want to come with us? We would have so much fun!", Kirstie sounded excited and her loud voice woke me up even more.
"Uuuuhm, Kirstie, I-I.... don't think I want to leave the house today, sorry! I'm sure you two will have a gorgeous day alone", I said apologetically.
"Oh, okay. Hm, I hope you have a great day anyway and thank you!" We hang up.

I definitely was awake so why not check my phone now?
No sooner said than done!
I checked almost every app on my cellphone except of Tinder. Why didn't I open it?
Am I scared?
But what could happen?
It's the Interent. I could actually write whatever I wanted. I could insult him, bully him or sex him.
It doesn't matter.
With this mindset I opened Tinder and I saw that Scott wrote me.

  Scott: Good morning, Mitch! How are you?

I didn't want to answer. I was uncomfortable.
Who knows what else he wants?
I had no idea why I had these thoughts now.
Yesterday I was so into our conversation and now I had no idea how to react on such a simple message.
I think it's better when I don't answer.
Without hesitation I closed the app without answering Scott.

Instead I went shopping.
There weren't a lot of people in Los Angeles and most of the clothes in the stores weren't sold out.
It didn't take a long time 'til I had a bunch of bags filled with expensive clothes, shoes and even some makeup.
The money was on my hand why not spend it?
On my way home I bought a salade to eat at home.

I let the door shut behind me, went to my bedroom and put the bags down groaning in exhaustion.
While stretching my back I grabbed the salade, my phone and went to the kitchen.
I pressed the homebottom and the first thing I saw was the new Tinder notification.
Without thinking I clicked on it and read the new message.

  Scott: What are you doing?

Couldn't he just stop?
I closed the app.
Two minutes later a new notification popped up.
Again I clicked on it.

   Scott: Hey, is everything ok? Did I rush anything? I'm sorry! I didn't want you to feel uncomfortable or under pressure! Please tell me what's wrong? What have I done wrong?

Wow. That was sweet. Now I have to answer him. Otherwise it would be rude.

  me: Sorry for ignoring you. It's just... I think I'm a little bit worried. I don't know if you're real, fake or anything about you.

  Scott:  Oh, omg, I'm so sorry! I can send you a live picture of me so you know I'm definitely real!
And maybe we can meet anyway? But please don't get it wrong! I don't want to make out or anything! I'll do whatever you want.

I can't believe he sent me a live picture of himself. He was so fucking beautiful. It's impossible.
Also he's such a gentleman. Everything he said was super sweet.
He cared about me so much.
And now I was more relaxed chatting with him knowing he was real and that he respected me.
I didn't wait long to answer.

  me:  thank you! Maybe it isn't a bad idea that we meet?

Scott: I'm glad your opinion changed! What about tomorrow?

  me: Yeah sure, tomorrow would be perfect! What about 4pm in Starbucks?

Scott: Of course whenever and wherever  you want! I'm looking forward to meeting you!

I jumped squealing.
That made me so happy.
And I couldn't stop smiling.
I needed to tell it Kirstie.
Therefor I dialed her number and waited for her to pick the phone up.

"Kirstin Maldonado, hello?"
"Hey, Kirst! I need to tell you something exciiiiting! Please say that you have time tomorrow at 11am?! Please!", I nearly screamed into the phone and I heard Kirstie giggling.
"Wow wow wow, ok, Mitch, calm down! Of course we can meet tomorrow! Must be great news! See you tomorrow, queen"
"Ok, yes, see you!"
I couldn't be happier!
