Matching Failed

THREE

Chris and I have texted the whole weekend. He is amazing, there are no words to describe him. He is perfection in a person. I drop my bag on my bed and pull out my phone to check for new messages.

-Hey, I'm finished with school for today. Want to hang out in Central Park at 4 pm?

Sounds great :) -

-See you then Cutie <3

See you <3 -

Oh. My. God. Did he really ask to meet? He did! I'm screaming inside, he asked me to meet him! This day can't become any better! I have to shower and then I must pick out a good outfit. I clean myself as fast as possible before rushing to my closet and throwing every good piece of clothes on my bed. I can't decide what to wear! The short black dress is going to be a little cold but it's super sexy. The dark red one combined with black tights would be elegant, not too cold and still sexy. The other dresses have been sorted out. I think the red one is better. I've got half an hour left before we meet! I have to dress, do my make-up and get to Central Park. I have to hurry! While dressing, I ask Ana if she can pick me up in her car. After Friday, we met Sunday morning and went brunching together. It was really funny to spend some time with her and we got a lot closer. My make-up is nearly finished when somebody knocks on my door. I quickly finish the last bit and open the door.

"Good for you that I was near the residence hall. Wait, you need a necklace", Ana says and disappears into my bathroom, returning with a golden necklace and matching earrings. "I'll help you."

She closes the clips and looks me up and down before smiling satisfied. She then takes my purse and gives me a black coat. Without exchanging any words we head outside to her blue car and sit in.

"Central Park?", she asks turning on the engine.

"Yes and thanks for your help."

"Every time honey", she says winking at me.

Ana is an extremely good driver. Within fifteen minutes we make it to Central Park. Proud of herself, Ana strokes a strand of her hair out of her face. She smiles and takes my slightly shaking hands in hers.

"Charlie, we know each other for four days. You are a wonderful person and if the eyes of this Chris guy won't fall out when he sees you, he's not the right guy. Have fun but not too much. Call me later and tell me how it was", she demands.

"I promise. Thanks for helping me that fast."

"There is nothing to be thankful for Charlie. And now get out, my boyfriend is waiting."

Before she drives off she waves me goodbye. Now I'm all alone, standing in the parking lot of Central Park. Was it a good idea to agree that fast for a meeting? We will see. It' four o'clock, Chris should be here by the next few seconds. But instead of him coming, my phone buzzes.

-I'll wait at the water fountain.

Without responding I turn on my heels to take the right path. The water fountain comes into my view but here's nobody. I look around confusedly, where is he? Turning around again, I see a very handsome man coming towards me but before he can approach me, someone grabs me from behind and everything turns black.
