A Love Like This

part 3

"So I have to meet Ming today for this project! I'm kinda nervous, but I'm also excited I guess? Oh my gosh. What should I wear? Which perfume should I put on? I'm really over thinking this guy's. Let me relax...hello?"

Ryanne chatted away to her friends on a group call over the phone, but it seemed like her friends weren't here for it. They all came up with a nickname for Minyoung, which was "Ming". After a couple seconds of silence, Jade finally  answered.

"Girl, calm down! You are stressing for no reason. You got this! Just wear something cute. Not too revealing...you don't want him thinking something different. &Your hair always looks nice, don't worry about that. Wear your Lavender Lyland body spray, that one smells really nice. &Just chill out. Be you!" Jade bellowed out.

"Thanks Jade! I really do need to chill. Seriously, what would I do without you?" Ryanne squealed in excitement. She knew exactly what to wear, how to do her hair, etc.

"Good luck Ryanne! Tell me how it goes!" Layla finally but in the conversation.

"No problem girl, I'll spill all the tea later. I gotta go now...I gotta get ready for my study date." Ryanne said her farewells to her friends and got off the phone.

She put on a red crop top with high waisted pants and a plaid shirt around her waist. She decided to wear classic black and white high top converses to top it off. She spritzed her fluffy and coily brownish-blonde curls with leave in conditioner. After She sprayed her Lavender Lyland all over her, she checked herself in the mirror one last time, grabbed all her materials including her keys, and was on her way. She was excited to meet with Minyoung to work on their project together. It was a week since classes started, and she was ready to tackle her assignments.

Ryanne was truly a beauty, but didn't truly realize it. With her green eyes, caramel skin, thick and curly Brown hair with blonde streaks, she was a stunner. She was in great shape too. But she wasn't use to recieving attention from guys, especially since she wouldn't hook up with them. Sometimes she felt less desired and not so beautiful. But she wanted to wait until she found the one to give her heart too, and the rest would follow. She was just learning to accept herself, especially since going natural.  She was going through an interesting journey of self discovery.

-------------------------
Ryanne parked her car in front of her Swerdans Uni, her college. She went on front of the fast food spot on her campus to meet with Minyoung.

"Hey! It's good to see you again." Said Minyoung as she approached. "Hey!"Ryanne said enthusiastically. They did a one arm hug, and sat down across from each other.

"So...I made a collage of some of the things that are important to me. Would you like to see it?" Ryanne asked.

"...No." Minyoung answered blatantly with a stale look on his face. Ryanne was a little confused. But after a couple seconds, Minyoung busted out laughing. "Of course I would like to see it! I mean, I have to see it. It's part of the project, no?" He asked curiously, with a grin.

Ryanne was relieved. "Don't try to play me like that!" She playfully retorted, and went on to lightly push his shoulder. He just kept laughing, but said sorry.

When Ryanne finally showed him the collage, he was amazed. "Wow, this is really nice. I love the colors. &Oh yeah, you look nice by the way." Minyoung said.

Ryanne blushed again. "Thanks. You look nice too."

Minyoung smirked at her remark. "Thanks." He responded cooly.

"So...did you make a collage or something of important things to you?" Ryanne asked.

"Well, I made a list. Here it is."

He pulled it his bag &out and handed it to Ryanne. She read it, and some things stood out to her.

"Family, Friends, Fashion, God...these are so similar to mine! It seems like we won't have such a hard time doing this project together." Ryanne said excitedly to Minyoung.

"Yeah, I don't think we will either." Minyoung replied.

They were off to a good start.
