5:37pm

[Haerin]: Dani! I just got here,
I'm so sorry I'm late! 😿

I stared at her text as the nerves started to eat me up. I'm not ready! I mean I am, but I'm scared, what if she changes her mind after she sees me in real life? Oh my god! I'm shitting myself and I'm not kidding.

I looked down at the bright yellow dress that I had finally decided to wear. It looks good enough, right? Stop it, Danielle Marsh! I want her to look at me as if she's never seen such a beautiful woman walking her way, I want feel like I'm the only girl in this world for her.

Is that too selfish? Probably, but Haerin's mine. Even she said it!

I slowly moved to the other end of my room where the window was, scared but also curious to look at her.

I looked out my window and boom! There she was leaning against her car. From here, I can't really tell what she's wearing. But lord, she looked stunning. I looked back down at my phone, realizing I had left her on seen.

With panic, I grabbed my phone and started to text her back.

[me]: You were only seven
minutes late, Hae.
[me]: I'm heading down! 😚

I made my way out of my bedroom door, wondering if she felt as nervous as I did. Was she scared the same way I was? God, I wanted to jump off from a bridge or something. That would probably traumatize her so never mind.

I took a deep breath as I opened the front door, steps away from me stood Haerin. Looking at me as if she had seen an angel falling from the sky to save her. I closed the door behind me and with shy steps, I made my way towards her.

Her eyes still looking at me with such an infatuation and adoration. I could feel my stomach tingling. Her eyes not once daring to look away from me. Her stare on me was deep, her eyes reached a depth I've never seen in anyone's eyes before.

It made a chill run down my spine.

Once I stood in front of her was when she cleared her throat and snapped out of her trance that had me feeling like the only girl in this damn world. Just how I wanted.

I looked at her, taking in the beauty that stood in front of me. Loose black jeans, a white t-shirt, and her usual cap that made her outfit so 'Haerin'.

"Hey, Dani." God, hearing her voice in person was so much better than on the phone. I didn't know what to do, if to hug her, shake her hand, or just say hi back?

But she beat me to it. Grabbing my hand and pulling me towards her. Her hands wrapped around me in such a comforting manner as she pressed our bodies together. Her hug brought warmth all over my body and up to my milky white cheeks that were probably red as a tomato now.

Without thinking, I draped my arms over her shoulders, one of my hands wondered in her strands of hair, grabbing a handful and pulling her closer to me. I don't know what took over me, but I craved more of her.

I could feel her arms tightening around my waist, her nose right by my pulse point. Her lips threatening to shower me with love. "I dreaded for this moment, Dani." She said in a barely audible whisper, her breath making a shiver run down my body and straight down to my core. This can't be good.

"Me too, Haerin." I said, not really caring if anyone is watching us. I want to have her in my arms for as long as I possibly could. In the hug, I could feel her vulnerability, and it's making my heart burst.

We now made our way to the ice cream shop a couple of blocks away from where I live. Haerin's hand intertwined with mine, her luxurious black Porsche leaving people in awe.

"You know, you don't live that far away from me." She said, her eyes steady in the road, but her hand tightened on mine. "Really?" I asked as I turned to look at her, she nodded with a giant smile on her face. "We can hang out?" She said, more in a questioning manner.

"Of course we can." I said, letting go of her hand. I cautiously raised my hand and placed the back of my hand against her cheek. She leaned in closer to my touch, kissing my hand and my mouth fell agape. She's letting me do what I craved to do for so long.

In my past relationship, physical touch was a big no. Everything was a big no. I tried to respect his boundaries but I also had needs like every other woman does, and it's not sex. The only time when physical touch was a yes, was when we were intimate, which seemed to be daily. We drifted off due to the fact that he was cheating on me, and not only that but we had already drifted off from each other.

He had also started to treat me badly, he would yell, and embarrass me in front of his friends, he would push me around. And at that point I realized that he's just caged in to being with me and that's his way of asking for freedom. So I let him go, and he left with everything I gave him. He left with a part of me and I won't have it back.

We weren't in love, I liked him and he liked me and that's about it. I won't ever regret being with him, but I do regret what I didn't do while in my relationship with him. And I do and forever will regret giving him my every first.

And ever since, I never tried to be in a relationship again. Until Haerin arrived, she's different. Very different. Every text is an open invite to her heart. And I could see myself falling in love with her.

I looked at her, and she looked back at me for a split second, giving me a small smile as she looked back at the road. Her eyes had a shine I've never seen.

And deep down, even though I'm scared to what awaits me with Haerin, I know that she'll treat me right, she'll see me as the woman I am.

I dropped my hand down, looking for hers. I intertwined our fingers together as I brought her hand up and placed a chaste kiss on it. A smile grew on her lips, a shy expression all over her.

I wanted her all for myself.
