What If?

"I'm in Florida for the weekend."

December 14th. 

It's been a day since I've been talking to Jacob. Within those 24 hours we've gotten to learn some interesting facts about each other. He's more interesting than me though. I mean he's originally from Jacksonville, Florida but when he was young, his dad got a better job offer which was in Pennsylvania, so they ended up moving there and that's where he was raised. He joined the Marine Corps right after High-school, served 4 years in North Carolina, had some good ole fun there. When he was in North Carolina, he had this band that became really big and well known in the area. He always talks about music, that's one thing I've found that I adore about him. His passion about music and the history behind the making of the song, he'll sit there all day and talk about the musician, the history behind the musician and the message that's hidden in the music.

Jacob is the type of guy that I never thought I would have never gotten the chance to meet and talk too, and it's surprising that he still finds me interesting to talk too, not to mention...finds me attractive!. I feel something in me that I haven't ever felt before, not even when I was with that guy that i was with for 2 years and I don't really know what it is but i enjoy the feeling. All of sudden, the conversation gets put on hold when my phone lit up and saw that Justin texted me. 

Jacob:"Hey, so I'm actually coming down to Florida....like now haha. We should meet up" 

What.The.Fuck. Is all that came to my head. 

Me:"Um, well see the thing is, is that I have work. Two jobs actually and  i work doubles on the weekends, so my free time is cut short". I didn't know what else to say, I just told the truth, which was weird on my end because usually I come up with a little white lie instead when it comes to going on first time dates or hanging with people. 

Jacob:"Well damn...that sucks. I would really like to see you, maybe I could stop by on your break or something? :)." 

He responds back, instantly. Making me go a little frantic inside. 

Me: I can't promise anything, some days they will give me breaks and sometimes they won't. We're so short-staffed so I don't know what to expect when I go in for work. I just don't want you to come in and leave disappointed, you know?. 

I feel bad because I want to meet him, he's so interesting and i'm so infatuated with him . I would love to spend a day with him and see what he actually looks like in person. 

Jacob: No, I understand. I don't want this to be like it's a priority for us to meet this weekend, but the thing of it is is that I'm only going to be here for 3 days, and then i'm heading up back home in PA. And I think it was also a miracle that we even matched on tinder, since I'm not from the area...So,what i'm saying is....if I have the advantage to meet someone that I like, even if the chance is slim, I'm gonna take it, and i hope you feel the same way too.

Dammit....He's got a point. A very good point. 

Me: I'll see what I can do, but I can't promise anything. 

Jacob: Whatever you say goes hun :)

He called me hun. 

......That was adorable. 

Later that night, I took a shower and ate dinner with the family, me and Jacob were texting non stop. Jacob finally arrived in Jacksonville about an hour and half ago, I haven't spoken to him in about 20 minutes. Maybe he fell asleep I think while I brush the wet, tangles out of my hair. Suddenly i hear a vibration noise coming from my bed, I walk up to it and I see that Jacob is trying to face time me. 

What the fuck. What do I do?. I'm not even dressed! My hair is a mess! I only have a t-shirt and underwear on!. 

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! um ok. Josephine..just breathe." I manage to calm myself down a little and I answer the face time and there he was. He didn't look any different from his photos, he was cute. Really fucking cute and here I was in my "Sugar daddy" T-shirt, hair all matted, and wondering "Well what the fuck happens now?".
