1: How did we meet? (Intro)

Damien.

I'm sitting at this booth in a pretty sketchy-looking bar with my best friend, Shayne. He's the one who recommended this place, so I decided not to question it.

We're both pretty responsible people, so we didn't drink too much.

There's this one girl that I can't take my eye off of for some reason...she's just so...beautiful to me. She is short, light-skinned, has long, brown hair, and a nice smile.

"Why don't you just go talk to her if you like her that much?" Shayne asked.

"Oh...w-was I staring?"

"Yeah, for-like...the past 10 minutes," He told me.

"Oh, really?" I blushed. "Sorry..."

"Go talk to her, dude!"

"I haven't built up enough confidence yet, I'm too nervous, man!" I exclaimed. He shook his head and sat back. I took a few minutes to prepare myself and finally got up. "Okay, I'm gonna do it," I told Shayne.

"I can't wait how this one plays out..." Shayne laughed, sitting back like he was watching a movie. I ignored him and slowly inched my way towards where she was sitting.

I walked up to the counter and sat on the stool next to her. "Hey, don't you think this place is a little strange?" I attempted to start a conversation.

She turned her head to me, "Oh my God, I thought I was only one! My friend suggested that we come here, but she just cancelled on me."

"Oh wow, that's a bummer...oh, and my name is Damien, by the way."

"My name is Ericka, but most people call me Boze."

"How did you get that nickname?"

"My last name; Bozeman. At first I didn't like it, but I decided to just go with it."

"Cool," I shortly replied. There was a moment of silence between us.

"Hey, if you don't mind..." She started, "Could you stay with me? I really need someone to talk to..."

"Of course!"

....

"Thank you for spending your time with me, Damien. You're a pretty cool guy," She told me, looking down at her hands.

"Oh, it was no problem, this was awesome, Ericka."

"Um...you know what? I-I'm gonna give you my number. You can call or text me whenever you want."

She gave me her number, and I ended up giving her mines as well.

We both said our goodbyes and I walked back over to our booth to see that Shayne had fallen asleep. I tapped him and he woke up. "Oh, are you guys finally done?" He asked, sitting up.

"We weren't talking for THAT long..."

"Dude, it's almost 2AM!" He said after checking his phone.

"Wow...so time really DOES fly when you're having fun," I rubbed the back of my head. "We can go now."

We got into Shayne's car, and he drove off. "So..." He started, "How was she?"

"She's really awesome, Shayne. Our conversation was great, and we exchanged numbers."

"Woah, I wasn't expecting it to go that well for you."

To be honest, I wasn't either. But I'm so glad that it turned out well, because I REALLY like her...but does she have the same feelings? That's the scary part.

....

5AM, I'm laying in my bed, still wide awake.

I know I should be sleeping, I have to go to work in just a few hours...but I can't stop thinking about Ericka.

Just then, my phone buzzed. I reached over and looked at the screen. Woah, she actually texted me!?

hi.
Hey, what's up?
nothing much, I just wanted to see if you were awake or not.
Oh, okay.
I really liked talking to you.
I liked talking to you too :)
oh well, I should probably try to get a few hours of sleep in, I'm starting my new job tomorrow.
Oh wow, that's awesome, congratulations!
thanks. <insert smiling face blushing emoji>
I guess I'll talk to you later?
of course.

I smiled to myself and placed my phone back on my nightstand. It's nice to know that feels the same way.

Thinking deeper, I ask myself: is there a future for us? Will something come out of this? Does she even have romantic feelings for me?

I mean, no one knows what the future holds...right?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hmm...what DOES the future hold for these two people?

BTW, I'm SO excited to write this story, I can tell you right now that it's gonna be another book that I'm SUPER proud of.

NOTE: New chapters for this book come out on Sundays.

see you later. ✌️
