#19 - Unusal Meeting

You have just jumped out of the shower and have wrapped a towel turban round your head to dry your hair when your mum tells you to go out and feed your guinea pigs (or whatever pet you have.) You live in a road with a dead end, with lots of bungalows and elderly people. So you aren't bothered going out in your old dress and hair turban into your garden.

"{Your Name}!" someone shouts from behind.

You could recognise that voice anywhere. Its {Boys name}, the guy you have a mad crush on. You whip around and wonder how the hell he knows where you live. The question splurts out of your mouth before you have time to think.

"How do you know where I live?" you demand, then blush as you realise what you said.

"Errmm," now it's his turn to look embarrassed, "your mate, err, Emily, she told me." You look slightly annoyed, because she could of warned you. But he butts in, "I told her not to tell you I...I wanted it to be a.... surprise."

So that was why she looked excited all day and looked fit to burst. Suddenly you remember that you have a hair turban on your head and the shortest oldest dress on, and he is stood right there! He walks over to you and in a rush you quickly say "I've just washed my hair and I was going to do jobs so I'm wearing a really old dress." You pause. "sorry..." you mumble.

"What the heck are you saying sorry for?" He asks, "You look beautiful, as always." You can't connect your letters together - he just called you 'beautiful' and that you always look so!

"Errrr.... Thanks...." You say blushing violently. He comes forwards and takes your hand.

"Do you want to come for a walk with me?" he asks quietly.

"Yes!" you say really enthusiastically - suddenly you worry that you were being over board and creepy, but if it was possible, his grin had stretched so wide, he looked like the Cheshire cat and his eyes crinkled at the corners. "I'll just ask my mum." You run to the back door and open it and there stands your mum.

Before you can even speak your mum has answer. "Of, course Honey!" she says excitedly - she knows how much you like him. You groan - Your mum has been watching you the entire time, typical.

"Yup" you say to him and he takes your hand. All the nerves in your fingers go off like fireworks - how was it possible that all those nerves were there, yet never went like this?

He grins and you walk along the road together to the start of something new.
