Begin Again

2. It all starts with a text

Finishing in the studio, I decided to head home. Meredith and Olivia greeted me with a meow as I unlocked the door and walked straight upstairs. I changed into a comfier choice of clothing deciding on a basic sweatpants and a T-shirt look and flopped onto the sofa, remote in one hand and phone in the other.

I liked living alone. It was peaceful.

Just as my eyes started to flutter shut into a deep sleep, I was abruptly interrupted by a 'bleep' and my phone started to vibrate violently. It was an unknown number.

Hey! It's Beau. I really enjoyed chatting with you today and I was wondering if you wanted to meet up soon if you aren't busy?

A shiver went down my spine in excitement and I grinned. He likes me! He actually likes me! I sent an immediate reply:

I'd love to! I'm free tomorrow afternoon actually?

I saved his number into my phone and leapt up to make a cup of tea. My phone vibrated again.

Great! Me too. I was thinking maybe we could go to the beach?

Sure!

I'll pick you up outside the cafe we met at today at 2?

Sounds like a plan. See you there!

I made my tea and headed straight for bed. Tomorrow should be fun, I thought.
