Our Happy Ending ¬ 8BitRyan x Reader

Chapter 4

I woke up, still felt very tired, which was no surprise, I had probably only got four hours sleep. I rolled over to face my glass bedside table. I picked up my phone and looked at the time. 6am. Then I checked to see if I had a reply from the guy I had met either yesterday or the day before. Yes! I had a reply. I read it quickly, it read 'sure! See you at 2pm at the park down the road from the coffee shop!'. I was internally screaming. He didn't ignore my message, that was a first, someone bothered to reply. I was now in a good mood despite not sleeping that well. I got out of bed even though I didn't have to, then I took a shower for over half an hour just daydreaming; did this count as a date? No Y/N, it doesn't.... But a girl can keep on dreaming, can't she?

I got dressed in my favourite T-shirt and Jumper. Then I put on my black ripped jeans. Afterwards I ran downstairs ate all my breakfast and looked at the time. 7am... How the hell did I manage to get ready that fast? This was all because of one person, who I hadn't even really had a proper conversation with yet. Why was I acting like this, because of him?! I didn't even know his name. I pushed the thoughts that went through my mind and went into my extremely black and soft lounge where I spent forever or until 1pm on the internet with the thick dark grey curtains closed.

I got up from my sofa crease stretched my back. I then swiftly walked to the front door where I slipped on my Nike shoes and left my house. I sauntered to the park, I had a lot of time to get there. I admired the parade of shops and flowers as I walked by slowly. I had never really had time to observe what was around me when I went to work, I was always running late. I reached the park, it was like a field it was so big, just that it had humongous oak trees in it. I sat down on a bench near the entrance, so that he wouldn't have to try and find me.

After half an hour of waiting, he turned up. He was half an hour early! Not that I was complaining. He was just as good looking as when I had last seen him. Those brown eyes though. They were just everything.

"Hey!"

" Uh, hi! " I replied back

"Sooo, how are you?"

"I'm, uh, well, i don't know. What about you?" I stuttered

" I am great, thanks! " He said cheerfully

We talked for an hour just about random things. We got on really well. We had practically the same interests and all.

"Your job getting any better?" He asked suddenly

"Uh, well about that... I kind of got fired. " I answered woefully

"Omg, No! Wait do you have somewhere to live? What are you going to do?" He said fumbling for his words

"I don't know what I am going to do."

"Well I guess you could take a spare room in my house." He offered

"That's too much! I can't just barged into your house and "

He cut me off

"No, it's fine. I'll help you pack if you want. Then I can help you find a job. After all, I am struggling to pay for the rent, I could use a little help; it'd also be nice not being lonely all the time." He reasoned

"Hm, thank you. " I said quietly

"No problem."

There was a silence between us for a couple of minutes, not awkward silence, a comfortable silence. That's when he randomly spoke up again.

"You know. It's kind of weird. I feel as though I have known you for ages. Yet I haven't. I can't describe it." He said

"That's exactly how I feel! "

"I never caught your name."

" it's Y/N. What about you? "

"Ryan."

" Nice. "

"I like how we are literally room mates, yet we don't even know simple things about each other." He laughed

"Yeah. That is quite weird. " I said agreeing

"I know! We could have an evening, where we get to know each other. What about tonight at mine? I'll make dinner." He suggested

"Yeah, that sounds good!"

We talked some more. It was now 5pm. As I always say, time goes by quickly whether you're happy or not, but the only difference between yesterday and today was that I was happy.

"When do I start packing?" I asked

"Well you can start today, if you want. I'll come round and help you tomorrow. " he replied

"Mk, sounds good."

" I've got to get going now. Nice meeting you again! "

"Yes, see you tomorrow!"

With that he stood up from the bench he was sitting on and walked out of the park entrance . I stayed sat on the bench, trying to process what had just happened within these few hours. I didn't believe in love at first sight... but I.... Agh, he probably didn't even think of me like that. I got up and started to make my way back home still in deep thought as usual. I was sad to be leaving my house behind, it was just so nice cosy and dark, just the way I liked it. What if we didn't get on after a while, what if I didn't like the place? I needed to stop worrying about stuff that hadn't even happened yet. Worry about it when it does happen, I told myself.

I kicked off my shoes and searched for some boxes. I was just going to pack a few ornaments, nothing much. I wondered where he lived. Was it far from where I lived? Endless questions went through my mind, questions that I couldn't answer yet. I was excited and scared about my move, what would happen?

I guess this was just the beginning of my new chapter in life, I just hoped it would be better than the last one.
