I got out of the shower that took me way too long because I kept giggling to myself about him.

I realized that I actually don't know that much about him, I've interacted with him like 4 times.
I mean I know he makes music but he doesn't know that I know, I kind of know that he likes to collect stuff, he knows how to pronounce French but I don't think he knows the language. And that's about it.

I blinked as I put on my mascara, staring at myself in the mirror as I waved my hands to help it dry, I already got dressed and put a few clips in my hair.

I didn't wanna be too overdressed or anything. That's just kind of stuffy

I zone out as I stare at myself. I hope this goes well.

5:47 - I get a text

'hey y/n, it's Neil'
'i realize that I haven't actually texted you before so.. I just wanted to let you know it was me'

I already had his number saved but I think its cute he was worried

'i just left, I'll be there in about 10 minutes, I live pretty close'

huh.. I didn't know that

'okay :)) I'm excited to see you'

I hope that didn't come off too strong. Ughhh
What am I doing?

'thank you again'
'for picking me up and taking me out, it's really nice of you'

'of course. It's my pleasure'

Ugh how can he get any more sickeningly cuter. I feel nauseous. I really hope I don't do something weird.

.

There's a knock at the door, I pause before opening the door, taking a deep breath before I turn the knob

He was looking behind him for some reason, his jawline was so prominent.

He turned to look at me, I swear I thought his eyes sparkled for a second

"You look.. really pretty- not- not in a weird way I just like the way you- look? Uh.. tonight." He puts a hand on the back of his neck, and looks to the side for a second before extending it for me to place my hand in his. Looking at me again with his big brown eyes

"Thank you.. i.." I place my hand in his and a shiver runs through me. His hands fit perfectly around mine, they feel so comfortable. I wish I could hold his hands all the time

Warmth spread from my fingertips all the way through my arm and up to my shoulder, slowly spreading to the rest of my body and rushing to my face. I shouldn't have even put on blush today because I don't need it

"You look so..." my eyes met his, it felt like he was staring right through me "handsome.. as in like- like you look um.. cool... " As much as I felt embarrassed, I physically could not stop smiling. My heart actually skipped a beat

He smiled and looked down. "Thank you"

.

Neil opened the door for me and I buckled myself into the passenger seat

He sat in the driver's seat, after a half minute of driving he broke the silence and handed me a cord

"It'll be a few minutes until we get there so you can uh.. have the aux." He said still staring at the road

"Okay." I plugged it into my phone, carefully avoiding any playlists with his music in them. That would be awkward.

Random songs played in the background as we talked about things that we've had to deal with and customer interactions we had over the past few weeks at work together until we eventually got there
