Quarantine [Tag Book]

04/21/20

     So... I'm just going to get straight to the point.

     It was a hot spring day, we'd all been cooped up in the house together since Spring break, and we were all... grumpy.

     So I'd gone to the gas station to get drinks, (I'm aware of social distancing please don't @me ha) but we needed CAFFEINE- it was like the life or death situation we face today- to go or not to go? 

     And I walked in, and beheld the most handsome cashier I'd ever seen behind that counter. I thought about my conversation with my father the day before, playing his words in my head one more time as I waited for my F'real shake to come down from the mixer:   "Just be chill, ask him his name and if he asks why just say 'because I want to know who's taking me out tonight', then he'll laugh and you've got him on the hook- but don't reel him in yet, guys like the chase."

     I got this.

     I walked up the the counter, set down the two monsters, two cokes and a F'real shake, and stood there in complete silence as he scanned them. I could literally feel my heartbeat in my head- and based on how I felt at the moment, I think it's safe to say that my brain and my heart just... switched places.

      "Would you like your receipt?"  that voice!

      "No," I raised my voice above the shy whisper it had just come out as, "no, thank you though."

      "Alright," he smiled, "you're good to go."

     I smiled back, "you too."

     I just... froze. Right there. Holding the bag and a F'real shake in one hand and an extra large foam cup of Coca Cola in the other. Simply frozen. 
      You.

      Idiot.

     Thanks for reading my embarrassing moment, feel free to share yours!! We're not a judgmental community here =D
