It's sunday.
And i'm meeting with Elias, it is currently 10 am so i'm a bit behind since he said he'll pick me up at ten-thirthy; i don't bother having breakfast since we'll have it out together anyway.
together.. that word gives me butterflies.
Oh my what is wrong with me? am i fawning about a man i just met?
I give my head a light slap to wake me out of my silly thoughts, before heading to the bathroom to take a quick shower; i brush my teeth, fix my hair right after and begin on my makeup.
Wait no! there is something wrong, i need to choose my outfit before doing my makeup so i don't accidently put something that does not match together.
I sigh and head back to my room, straight to my closet, i open it scanning the options and after a 10 minutes, i finally settle on a cute simple warm outfit, since it's a bit chilly outside.
I sprint back into the bathroom as i've already wasted enough time, i put on some light makeup which begins with a moisturizer, then my sunscreen, followed by some light colors on my eyes, mascara, nude lipstick and a bit of lipgloss, and of course i don't forget my blush, which i've accidently put more than necessary.
I grab my phone to text Elias, but realize i never asked for his number, i sigh at my stupidity and decide to head downstairs to wait for him.
As soon as i close the main door behind me, i turn to take a look at the street when i find him standing yet slightly laying on his car door, he doesn't seem to be doing anything just looking down at his feet deep in his thoughts; since he is not looking my way, i use my only chance to take a good at him without making it obvious, he is wearing black jeans, with a black hoodie on, along with a jacket the same color as my sweater.
Oh my god, we look like matched on purpose.
okay now something's fishy, no? does he have a camera watching my every move?
I head towards him, and he quickly notices my presence, "hey" i say, just standing awkwardly in front him not knowing how to greet him, would a hug be too weird?
"you're ready?" he asks, his voice sounding deep yet his tone is so soft, making my heart flutter, i hope he doesn't hear my loud heartbeat.
"before that, can i have your phone number?" i ask, a bit flustered.
I give him my phone to type it and when he gives it back to me, it is saved as 'Elias' with a heart next to it, hm that's weird.. "did you save it?" i ask.
My question seems to fluster him, he avoids eye contact with me as he replies, "yes i think, i did".
"okay" i smile at him nodding my head.
He gestures for me to enter the passenger seat, and as i do, he puts his hand on top of the door as a way to protect my head from slamming against it.
