Why Me?

Chapter 4 - first kiss

--5 weeks after Disney--

"Excuse me?" A 10 year old girl approached me as I was sat in the park.

"Hi, are you lost?" I took an earphone out.

"No, I was just wondering if I could take a picture with you?"

What? Why would she want to take a picture with me? I looked around me to make sure she wasn't talking to someone else.

"Um... Not to be rude but why?" I tried to be as polite as possible.

She looked a little confused but continued to persist on a photo.

"Okay..?" I still didn't know why she wanted to take a picture with me but it would be rude of me to deny one.

"You're so pretty!" She squeaked. "I hope your relationship lasts." She hugged me and left before I could ask her what relationship.

Soon after my strange encounter, my phone rung.

Mystery guy

I cleared my throat and calmed myself down.

We texted a few times but since he was still unable to get his phone back, we could only text at 3 o'clock in the morning, I didn't know what was going on with him but just being able to talk to him was enough.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hi." His voice was so lovely. "What are you up to?"

"I'm just at the park doing some reading. What are you doing?"

"I'm back from my trip with my friends and I was wondering if you wanted to meet up? Maybe I could take you out to dinner?"

My heart started to beat so quickly so I took a deep breath and answered him.

"Sure, when and where?"

"I'll pick you up if you text me your address and is tonight okay?"

Wow he's fast, but I wasn't complaining.

"Yeah tonight is okay, what time and where are we going?"

"6 o'clock and it'll be a surprise, dress formal though." And that was all I was getting.

"Alright then. I'll see you tonight."

"See you tonight."

I was freaking out about what I was going to wear.

When he said formal, how formal did he mean? Cocktail dress? Ball gown? Prom dress?

WHAT DID HE WANT.

This was the most emotionally unstable I had been in a while, I didn't really know who he was but if he was capable of doing this to me already, what would I become once I did get to know him.

I laid out all of my dresses and tried each one on.

I didn't want to ask Jess about what to wear because she still didn't know about this guy. I know I've been holding it back for a while not but I just didn't know how I was going to explain the entire situation, she would scold me for being reckless and not even knowing his name.

I decided in the end to go with a navy dress that was shorter in the front than the back and had sequins on the top. Black heels would always be the way to go and a navy clutch to bring my wallet and phone.

I attempted some makeup but anyone who knew me would know that I was not good at this kind of stuff, and by this stuff I meant being a girl.

It was 5:55 and I told myself to stop freaking out.
