7 - The Meet Up

Nina's POV

At this moment, I'm about to be officially acquainted to the girl I've been checking out these past few weeks. I was waiting for her to talk to me/notice me and when she finally did, I desperately asked her out. It was quite a wild move but I've been so desperate to know her already.

*6:15 PM*

I'm currently at the Hero's Cabin, a new cafe that i thought would be good for us to check out together. The cafe is nice, it's peaceful, and quiet. It's your typical cafes, just a little bit contemporary. It has an outdoor veranda where you can see the view of the sunset that makes the atmosphere very romantic.

Minutes of waiting alone, I can finally see Gela wandering around looking for me. She looks a little bit nervous and worried and it's adorable, atleast for me.

I waved my hand to call her and I saw her face softened and relieved when she saw me. She sat at our table opposite me.

I was trying to act cool, calm and collected but god knows how nervous I am right now. I dont even know why I asked a stranger out just like that but this is what my heart is telling me to do. I just really have the urge to know her, or be her friend, or her girlfriend u know what I mean. That's what I'm going for from the very fisrt place.

We just sat there awkwardly for a good couple of minutes. Studying each other faces. She's actually pretty. Not like pretty that every boy or girl would die for but a rare and unique beauty that i exactly like.

"I'm Gela by the way," she finally broke the silence. "Gela Tony."

She seems really approachable that it made me at ease. She's the extrovert here ok? Why am I more nervous than her. Not now anxiety.

"I know." I smiled. She just noticed me today while I've been stalking her already for a week in the Gelato shop and she literally have no idea "I'm Nina, Nina Stewart."

"Nice to meet you Nina." what is this? A job interview? I don't like how formal and awkward we talk but guess this is how people are normally acquainted. Stop being so desperate.

"What exactly made you ask me out?" That question Gela asked made me more nervous 'cause I don't really know what. At this point we both have no idea what to do and what we're doing.

"I...uhm...just want to get to know you?"  I really do, but god Nina, stop being so awkward, you're the one who've thought of this idea, deal with it.

"Yeah, sure." She said as if it's that easy to trust someone like me, a complete stranger who's desperate to befriend her immediately.

So we started talking. About the weather, about our jobs, about New York and how Gela just started to live here, and ofcourse about gelatos. We both share our love for gelato, which is a good thing when you find someone who have the same interests and passions as you. We have alot of similarities and common interests except that she's the extoverted one and I'm the introvert one.

We talked and talked for hours as if we've known each other for a long time. There's just something about Gela that made it easy for us to get to know each other.

Sometimes i caught myself staring at her facial features. I get lost in thought observing her feminine features like I swear those eyes, those lips, that face is gonna be the death of me.

In the middle of our conversation, Gela's phone rang and someone was looking for her and summoning her and said she already have to leave. I dont want her to leave though, but ofcourse she could.

"I have to go now." Gela said. I heard dismay in her voice. I hope she wanted to stay longer too but the call seems urgent.

"Sure." I said. I'm totally fine with it but I'm already looking forward for our next meet up.

She finally left. She left me stunned, smiling from ear to ear, like an idiot. This meet up went really well though.

I wonder who's looking for her... I even forgot to aks her if she's single or she's even interested with girls. I wonder if she's straight... Why did I forgot to ask the only questions that matters? *sigh*
