About a week ago during a late night conversation on Instagram I was asked a question. This question was simple but had a thousands words attached. So fast, so simple, yet heart throbbing I thought I might have passed out.
Him "Hey, are you doing anything this weekend?
Her "No not really."
Him "Do you want to watch a movie?"
For a moment I was speechless was this a date or group action upon my friends and I? Not wanting to keep him waiting, afraid to lose the conversation I answered.
Her "Sure."
Him "ok bye I love you ❤"
Her "I love you too 👌💙"
Blushing shades of red my heart thumping, a million questions racing through my head. Happiness, joy, anxiety, bashful, all mixed up in a bowl and causeing my body to tremble with such emotions. When I regained control I gently set my phone aside and stared at the ceiling for the longest time while having a dorky smile. I then proceeded to fall asleep waiting for dawn.
~Mourning~
As I woke from my slumber still in the same position as the night before I got out of bed and started my day. I eventually did this for 6 days, by then me and him both had already picked a time and place to meet up and a movie. By the 7th day I gathered enough courage to ask my parents for a ride to the movies. I didn't tell them who was coming because not much information was said by him. But of course car rides are never quiet and parents must always ask questions.
Mum "So, who's all coming?"
Her "Uh, just 4 of us."
Dad "What time are you guys leaving the movie?"
Her "Not to sure about that, but I'll text you when we're coming out."
Little did my parents know that I myself had no idea who was all coming. I immediately felt guilt for not telling my parents who was coming although 4 people might be coming. The thing was I didn't even know if it would be me and him or he may have brought some other fellow people to join on this occasion. This thought led me to rethink this whole situation "Is this a date or something else?" "Are there other people joining?" No, it mustn't be a date were to shy to even look at each other?" "Is this a step forward to our relationship?" "Did he really ask me out?"
My head started to swim with so many questions unanswered, but all this quickly disappear when I saw the movie building coming closer. It was 5 minutes early than the actual time we were supposed to meet up. I grabbed my wallet containing 10$ and said my good byes to both my parents, before being stopped.
Mum "Hold up I'll give you 20$ just in case something happens."
Her "Oh... Thanks mum, though I'll give you the left over change."
Dad "Remember call or text us when your movie is done."
Her "Hágóoshii, dóó hágoóné'."
Dad "Áóo' " *nods*
Mum "Hábeeghaá"
I proceeded to walk to the front doors and entered looking around. I carefully examined the crowd and saw no familiar face(s). I leaned against a wall and bent my knees, slowly sliding in a sitting position still looking around. 2 Minutes passed though it felt like 2 hours, anxiety slowly flowed through my mind thinking maybe he might not be coming or anybody in that matter. I felt sad as negitive thoughts went through my mind, I quickly pushed aside the thoughts and said "It's only been 2 minutes calm yourself, gosh darn it!"
