Story of my life

Chapter 16

So we had our first date. I wore a little black dress

with heels and a bright green sweater, and he wore

jeans and a black button up shirt. We met at

Starbucks, we hugged like old friends, he led me to

the car he’d borrowed from his dad, and he

opened my door for me like a true gentleman. He

started the car and a CD began to play – all my

favorite songs, one after another. I demanded that

he admit he’d stalked my Facebook and made a

CD from all my listed favorite artists, but he denies

it to this day. Either he’s lying, or we just have

identical taste in music. Either way, it was perfect.

And that evening began a week of “first dates.” We

had dinner together several times, went to the

movies, visited the nearby Natural Bridge Caverns

and Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch in San Antonio,

spent his birthday with his parents and

grandparents, and then said a very bittersweet

goodbye before he headed back to California.
