Strangers Or Not • j/p

#8

Perrie's POV

I literally have no idea what to do. Was meeting up with a total stranger a good idea? She's a woman, at least I think so. What if she wants to kill me? Or even worse.. No, nothing is worse than that.

Our date is literally tonight. Should I even consider it a date? Well I think so.

She said she likes me. But how? We only talked for a while. She doesn't know my name, what I look like, she doesn't know anything specific about me. She doesn't know who I actually am.

I have to make sure nobody sees me, I have to make sure nobody sees us.. Otherwise, rumours would spread with the speed of the light.

However, after spending hours of thinking about it, I decided to go. I'm dressed up in simple blue mum jeans and a white turtle neck top, a brown coat and black shoes.

I quickly looked at myself in the mirror before leaving my house. My let my hair down and I have a simple natural makeup.

I lock the door as I go out and go to my car. During the whole drive I can't help but feel nervous about meeting her. I've never thought I'd be nervous about a woman..

Before I realise I'm outside Starbucks. I park my car down the street and get out. As I slowly walk to the entrance I start thinking if I should have got myself in this in the first place. I installed that app because I was bored, and now I'm going on a blind date with a person I know nothing about.

I should have talked to the girls about this. They probably would have told me not to go. But on the other hand, we all got some time off to rest and spend time with our families and go on holidays, and I don't wanna bother them with my stupid problems.

I walk inside and look around. I notice a familiar face in the left corner. Jesy. She sees me and her face lits up. I walk over to her and she stands up from her seat and hugs me.

"Hey Pez, you look gorgeous" - she says.

"Hi Jesminda, you look even better" - I tell her.

"Thanks, um, what are you doing here?"

"Um.. I have kind of a date.." - I smile slightly

"Oo nice, I'm waiting for someone too.." - she says kind of nervously..

"Well good luck, I'll go and wait over there" - I peck her cheek and hug her quickly.

"Good luck to you too, have fun" - she says

"Thanks.. you too" - I chuckle and walk over to the other side of the place.

I sit down and sigh. She's not here yet probably. How can I recognise her?

It's 6:10, so being ten minutes late isn't so bad. Probably traffic or something. Should I order something? Would it be rude if I order before she actually comes? Probably.

I look around and tap my nails against the wooden table.. waiting and waiting.

6:25.. still nothing.. I look at the door, but there isn't a specific female walking in. I'm starting to regret coming here in first place. I feel like an idiot. She played me. Of course she isn't gonna turn up. What was I even thinking?

I check my phone and it's 6:30 now. I notice that I have a message from the app.

Stranger is online

Stranger: Hey

Stranger: I'm here

Stranger: are you coming?

Stranger: obviously not

You: what are you talking about?

You: i've been waiting here for half an hour

You: where are you?

Stranger: the left corner from the entrance

Stranger: where are you?

You: i'm in the right corner..

I turn around and see that it's already packed in here and I can't see anything from where i'm sitting.

Stranger: there are too many people here..

You: then let's meet outside

Stranger: where exactly? 😂

You: um.. did you see the tree next to the pavement?

Stranger: yeah, I think so

You: well there

Stranger: alright, give me a few minutes and i'm there

You: okay

Stranger has disconnected

She's actually here. Wow. Okay. The tree. Right now. I grab my bag and I go outside as quickly as I can. I get to the tree and lean against it. She'll be here in a few minutes. Nope I can't just stay leaned on the tree. I start walking around it as I check my phone every 3 seconds.

What felt like a minute later, I hear heels clicking behind me. It's her. Oh my god, it's her. Should I turn around or wait until she reaches me?

Suddenly, I hear a deep gasp. I can't hold myself back and turn my head just to see........ Jesy..

Yay they met! How do y'all like this part?
Love y'all ❤
