*A/N - hey guys I know this chapter is really short, I just really wanted to get something out. Sorry I haven't updated in a while I've been super busy, if you're liking the story so far please do vote for it and leave a comment*
I had just got back from having coffee with Colin and I was already missing his warm smile. I do enjoy my own company but it's nice to be with someone every now and again and I really like Colin. He's really sweet and seems to genuinely be such a kind person.
I collapsed onto my bed and turned on Netflix hoping there was something good I could watch. In the end, despite the fact that it's August, I chose nativity 2. David Tennant is an incredible actor and how could you not love this film.
It got to about halfway through the film and I was getting really hungry so I got my phone and was about to order dominos, when I saw a text from Colin.
"Hey Rachael, really enjoyed this evening. Maybe you'd like to go out for a drink sometime? ~ Colin"
Awww I thought, that's really cute that he actually texted me. I wasn't expecting to ever hear from him again.
I thought long and hard before typing out my reply.
" hey Colin, I'd really like that, and I also had a lovely evening~ Rachael"
I hit send and whilst I waited for a reply I ordered a dominos, the meateor with the chicken kickers and the wedges! I'm a hungry gal what can I say!

It was Saturday night and I was sat trying to decide what to wear to meet Colin, we weren't going anywhere fancy, just a small, hopefully not too crowded bar. In the end I wore my burgundy trousers with a tie round the waist and a black sparkly bandeau with small black heels. I was meeting him at 8 o'clock so I had about 2 hours to straighten my mane of hair and put a bit of makeup on my face. It got to 7.30 so I threw on my black leather jacket and took one last look at myself before heading out to get in the taxi.
I arrived at the bar a little early and I could see that he was waiting outside, looking pretty dapper! He was wearing a light blue shirt with black trousers and had a jacket over his shoulder, which he was holding with his hand whilst leaning against the wall, looking deep in thought.
I approached him and at once I could see he was slightly nervous about this, which I thought was actually really sweet. We headed inside and sat at the bar and ordered some drinks. The bar started to fill out at about 10pm and it was getting a little busy for my liking, Colin noticed this because he asked me kindly if I would like him to walk me home, I accepted his offer and we got up to leave.
It was at that moment that I realised how tipsy I was, I'm a huge lightweight and I had forgotten to eat today. I was stumbling a little but Colin didn't seem to notice, we walked out of the bar and as soon as we stepped outside i realised I should have brought a thicker jacket, even though it's August, it is still England and I probably should have planned for the slightly chilly wind that had appeared. We decided to get a taxi back to mine as we were both a little cold. It was 10.30 by the time we got into my flat and as it wasn't that late I wasn't going to kick Colin out right away. We cosied up on the sofa and we watched Harry Potter and the philosophers stone. We didn't get very far into the film before we both fell asleep, my head on his shoulder and his head resting on mine.
