How We Met

Let's fast forward to about the beginning of my junior year. I was still using the app and at this point had some but very little freedom. I stopped trolling guys since it really just became boring. Of course I became almost addicted to this app. I met a few decent people. But one guy caught my attention. No he was not cute in the slightest way but I liked what he posted and what he had to say about gay rights and treating people equally. When he messaged me it was really random but somehow we had an hour long conversation about honestly the most random shit you can think of but it was so interesting. Before I knew it he became the person I talked to on my way home from school. It quickly went from me feeling like I just made a new friend to "holy shit I think I like this guy". I let it process just a bit longer which was mistake number one. Before I knew it i was confessing how I felt. I simply can't hold it in. I was the type of person who would mentally beat myself up over shit like this. "What if he's talking to someone else?" "what if he's not even interested?'' "Bitch if he brings up some other chick your gonna be crying over that boy who wasn't ever your to begin with!". I had this long pep talk with myself before one day while we where having our normal conversation that it just slowly but surly say how I really felt. "So I need to say something" as I spun around a tree thinking I was fucking cinderella in the ghetto. "What's up?" a few deep breaths and a whispered "fuck it" later I just said it "I kind of like you". Their it was finally off my chest and now he can except me or reject me. Regardless all I cared about was him knowing the truth. "Same here." oh well fuck. . . wasn't expecting that shit to come out his mouth.

I had about a two minute walk before I mad it home. Who would of thought it would be two minute walk of final destination. My ass was so happy I didn't notice the car coming towards me. Luckily he stepped on the gas in time. That same night we decided to hang out for the first time while knowing what we know. Before this the times we had hung out neither of us where aware of the others feelings. This time it different. This time it's going to be awkward. What does one say to their maybe future boyfriend? Hey so uhh what's next? Do I ask him out or should I let him do it? Do I give a shit? No not really. The day was getting closer and closer. I had invited my friend to tag along since she wanted to meet him.

"Let's go to my uncle's restaurant!"

"Since when did your uncle own a restaurant?"

She giggles before explaining he doesn't own the restaurant but he's the head cook. He's down to go so it's a set plan.
