He snaps out of the trance he's in.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer" he says. Tyler obviously noticed that I was staring peacefully and curiously at him. I was looking into all of the beautiful shades that made up his brown calm eyes.

"O-oh hahaha; sorry." I say nervously.

And we're back to anxious, nervous, scared Josh.

Why can't I just answer without being so awkward? I'm not even usually like this around other people. I'm usually outgoing and enthusiastic! Not quiet with a constant look of fear in my eyes.

But what can I do? I was the one to knock on his door.

"It's alright" he smiles kindly. His lips look soft, not cracked and dry like mine. I see his crooked pearly white teeth, and all of the crinkles near his eyes when he smiles. Cute. "I don't mind"

"h-haha.. ha."

Smooth, Josh.

"Well since I'm new to Columbus and all, do you recommend any good places to eat or anything interesting to see?" I finally said something without stuttering every other word, I deserve a round of applause.

"Well why don't I just bring you out to lunch? Show you around town?" At this point, I'm sweating and staring into Tyler's eyes. Why would he want to show me around town?

"Hello?" Tyler asks, waiting for me to give him any sign that I haven't just fallen asleep with my eyes open... while standing

"O-oh y-yes! I would l-love to!"
