He puts down his chopsticks and wipes his mouth. "Okay. Well you know and I know what happened a couple nights ago right?", He retorts. I nod my head. "Well I just needed to know um", He stops and thinks. At this point my heart is pounding.

"You don't need to explain much longer. You didn't really need to bring me here to tell me.", I start. "You don't need give whatever I guess pity for me I guess. I know you were being nice to me. I thank you for that. I really needed it. Your just a very good guy and I can see that. You didn't need to spend this money. I'm just saying-", I state.

He was eating while listening to me."Let me stop you right there. First of all, I'm not giving you pity or whatever the fuck you think it is. Second of all, don't assume my feelings towards you." He says with a slight angry tone. "I'm sorry.", You say. "Don't be. It's okay. I can see that you tend to overthink things.", He says.

I felt a little sense of relief. "I just don't know how to say this to you. I don't know I've just never really done anything like this before and I know that I should get to know you better but I just can't get you out of my head. You make me weak. I don't know how to explain this to you without sounding too cliche.", He confesses.

Damn. Well that hit me harder than my own mother. Weirdly, my heart slowed down. He was blushing so hard and that just made me smile harder. "That was um...suprising", I say. "Why?", He asks. "I don't know. I just didn't feel like you felt that way or somebody like you would be into me or that love at first sight even really existed on both sides" I confess.

I mentally scolded myself again. Did I really just say I love him? Omg. I'm fucking dumb bruh.

"I mean it been What?- like a day or so since I last saw you and you already have this effect on me. Maybe I could just sit here and kid myself saying that I don't want to know what it's like to be with you. Maybe I couldn't have said anything and just toil over it for the rest of my life filled with regret but I'm way too confrontational for that.", He states.

I feel speechless. He just keeps going on. All the thoughts in his head are just coming out right now but I get it so I'll let him.

"I know I seem crazy and maybe  I'm just a desperate romantic in hookup culture but...I just needed to say this to you and get it out before I end up on my knees begging you to love me weeks after.", He says. This is when I realized I've just been staring at him this whole time.

A desperate romantic in hookup culture. Huh. Sounds familiar.

"So...what are you leading up to something or are you just venting to me?", I ask.
