By this time, it was around the beginning of March. Things between Jordan and I were going great, we were really close friends and I could feel my feelings getting stronger. I dropped things with the other guy I was talking to because I wanted to pursue my feelings for Jordan. I liked him and there was no point in denying it. I found out that he didn't have a girlfriend, god bless. I had put in my two weeks at McDonald's by this point. I was tired of that place and it's drama. One of my favorite nights would be when he came into work while I still had another hour and he just blurts out that he wanted a milkshake. I reminded him that Steak and Shake was twenty-four hours and that he could go after work. I was caught off-guard when he asked if I wanted to go with him. I felt the same butterflies I always did when I was around him and without hesitation I said yes.

I clocked out and rushed home to get ready even though he didn't get off until midnight. I still had two hours to kill but all I could think about was that he asked me to go with him. I was so nervous, I don't think I've been this nervous since the day I asked him to go to the movies with me. I was scared that we would go and it would be awkward because that's how I was whenever I liked a guy.

I drove back to McDonald's, a bit too early of course. I sat in the parking lot waiting anxiously until he got out. He looked really cute taking orders in the back window when he yelled at me that he had to stay until midnight. In the second window were Josh and Justin giving me the look and tried making things awkward like little kids. Jordan finally got off and we walked to his car, stopping by the drive-thru and having the guys tell us to be careful and to hurry back with their food.
