Until I Met You

5

Can you believe I still was in the goddamn restaurant? God all I want right now is to be in my bed. Alone.

Luckily, Marcos and I weren't living together at the moment, I was living in a college dorm for three more years.

They stood up from the table and I saw finally that they had paid the check. I glanced at the receipt and almost choked on my own saliva, $3,000 dollars!?

Jesus Christ. Jesucristo!

I went to sit at the couch in the main entrance of the restaurant, decided to wait them there. It had been a long night for me. I took my phone and saw the hour, 12:25 a.m. At his time, I should had been with my dorm roommates, helping them organize the house because it was a mess, also I had a missing assignment from my Creative Writing class that I needed to complete.

"So many things", I thought, passing my hand through my hair, causing it to separate the hairdo that I had to break apart. I didn't cared anymore.

I felt my phone vibrate in my purse, and I opened it to see who texted me.

J :) : How was the rest of the dinner?

Natalia: Quiet and boring. Are you still in the restaurant?

J :) is typing...

J :) : Yeah. Look to your right.

I turned my head to the right and saw him a few tables over.

Natalia: I see you xD.

J :) : I see you too.

Marcos took my hand and said, "I'll take you to your dorm", and pulled me to the exit.

Natalia: I have to go now.

J :) is typing...

J :) : Can I see you again?

Natalia: Possibly.

I saw how he smiled and pointed to the phone.

J :) is typing...

J :) : "Possibly" means this Friday, in restaurant Casa Linda, I'll pick you up and not a no for an answer right?

I started typing, thinking what to respond,

Natalia: ...Why not?

I saw how he tried to hide his excitement and I laughed.

J :) : :) see you then.

I walked out of the restaurant looking back, and feeling renewed again.
