Choosing the right guy

Chapter one

"So I love to stalk girls Instagram page" this guy said. I'm Megan and right know I'm on a date with a random guy I was paired with on a dating app called swiped. "I'm gonna go to the bar" I said. "Hey I bet you aren't enjoying your date" the bartender said. "Yep but I mean he sounds like a nice guy just not the right one for me"I said. "The name is Justin" the bartender said. "Well Justin my name is Megan and that is a nice tattoo you have on your arm" I said. "The tattoo is a rose and a bible verse to remember my mom" Justin said. "Your mom died" I said. "She had a heart attack a year ago" Justin said. "I really need a drink to clear my mind" I said. "A vodka on the house because I know your going through a horrible date" Justin said."Thanks I could use a glass" I said. "I think you should get back to your date before he worries"Justin said. I got up from the bar and walked back to the table we were sitting at. "Hey sorry for the holdup I just went to go get a drink" I said. "It's fine lets just eat" my date said. I took a sip of my drink, ate some food and waited until the waiter came and picked up our plates and gave us the check. After we exited the pub we were at, I told my date "your a really nice guy it's just that your not the one for me". "I'm sorry that our date didn't go as planned" the guy said. "Bye" I told him. "Bye" he said back to me. When I got in my car my bestie Abigail called. "So how was the date" she said. "It was a total bust, but I did make small talk with the bartender" I said. "Ask him out" she said. "It's not that easy, I have to see if we have that connection" I said. "Look I gotta go my hubby wants to play with me tonight" she said. "I don't want to know what you two are up to so I'll see you tomorrow at work" I said. Abigail and I work as a junior editors. We hung up on each other and I got ready for bed. The next day I got ready for work so I put my clothes on and grabbed a cup of coffee. Abigail was working on a piece about 5k marathon that was happening. I walked up to her desk and she said "spill the tea." I said "What is there to talk about my date was horrible". "It was that bad that you had to get a shot of vodka" she said. "Yes and I'm not like you"I said. "What do you mean by that" she said. "I didn't find my perfect match and get married to him" I said. "Hey I met him at a sorority party in our final year of college" she said." Well my college lover dumped me after he realized I wasn't the one" I said. "I get it you have bad luck with guys and technically you were friends with benefits" she said. "Well there was that time we did it in the locker room and in his dorm and also-" I was saying until she cut me off. "I know you told me this, I was your roommate and we were both in journalism class together" she said. "Oh how is the piece on the 5k run" I said. "It's going great and I even got to interview one of the runners" she said. "What's their name" I said. "His name is Sam Robertson" she said. "What type of questions did you ask him" I said. "Have you ran one already, what is your strategy?" "Those types of questions" she said. "Hey, tomorrow I think I might head to public pool, you wanna come" I said. "Sure and I'll even bring my husband" she said. "Let me see your progress on the 5k run piece" our supervisor said. "I'm almost done and in fact it's done just now" Abigail said. "The boss would love to review it and all need is for you to come into bosses room" our supervisor said. "Good luck" I said. The next day on the way to the public pool, Abigail and I were talking about how here piece on 5k run was in the newspaper. As we walked in, I saw the lifeguard and I just couldn't stop staring. "Are you staring at the lifeguard?" Abigail said. "Yes I am and I will go talk to him" I said. "Go talk with him I will find us some chairs to recline in" Abigail said. "Hey honey lets go find some chairs and then put some sunscreen on me" Abigail was saying to her husband. "Hey you must be the lifeguard" I said. "I sure am" he said. "My name is Megan by the way" I said. "My name is Asher Tompkins" he said. "Well Mr. Tompkins, I should get back to my friends" I said. "Hey wait, I was wondering if I could buy you a popsicle and we could talk" Asher said. "Well, I guess I could spare sometime" I said. After Asher and I made small talk, I spent a couple hours at the public pool and I drove home. On my way home, I saw the Sam guy that was in the 5k run. "Hey Sam, my friend interviewed you for her piece on the 5k run" I said. "Her name is Abigail right" he said. "Yeah" I said. "She's kinda cute" he said. "Well," I wouldn't mess with her husband" I said. "Oh! She's married? Well your not to shabby" he said. "Thanks for the complement, but I should go, I need to write something for work" I said. When I got home I realized that I liked three guys at once, but they were so cute, handsome, and charming.
