The Drunken Swipe

Perfect

He was outside of my house, waiting for me. I have to let him in...or do I? Maybe I can have my grandma tell him that I moved to a different country? Yeah that sounds good, which country though? Hm, maybe Australia? That sounds good, I bet she'll go along with it; after all I am her fav-

"Deb! There's a nice boy here for you!" Damnit, she let him in; I guess it's now or never. As I walk down the stairs I can hear him and my gram talking like they knew each other for years...well that's a good sign. As soon as I saw him, I think I started to drool. Holy shit he's hot, and he's in my living room. Wow, this must be a dream.

"Hi, I was just talking to your grandma. She wanted to show me pictures of you as a baby." He started to laugh and I turned bright red, of course she wanted to embarrass me. I turned to her and gave her the death stare, she gave me a goofy smile.

"Well, darn, we're gonna go outside and we can't have them blowing away so maybe next time." I nudged him towards the door, and he smiled and shook his head as he headed outside.

"Well, hi. I really like your grandma, she seems very down to Earth." I couldn't help but chuckle, she was down to Earth all right.

"Yeah, she's something special." We both laughed, and I signaled him to sit down next to the firepit, I remembered what Brenda said so I sat next to him; not too close though. When we sat down, the conversation just went naturally. We talked for hours and hours about random stuff and it turns out that we had so much more in common than I could have ever thought.

"My coworkers really liked you when you came in, they said you were pretty and they said you seemed really nice. I couldn't help but agree." I couldn't help but smile, they liked me? Did he still like me? This was great, I feel like I'm on top of the world.

"Well, thank you very much. My sisters thought you were quite cute, so I may have to fight them for you." I looked over and he was laughing quietly, hell yeah; he thinks I'm funny.

"Luckily for you, I'd choose you in a heartbeat." Oh. My. Gosh. He's fucking perfect. I could feel myself blushing so I turned my head in the opposite direction. "Are you nervous?" Am I that obvious?

"Just a little, if you haven't noticed; I'm very awkward so I apologize. I was going to take a shot before you got here but I forgot." He raised an eyebrow, great, he thinks I'm weird.

"Maybe we should take one together? As a good luck charm and a relaxer?" A guy who doesn't care that I drink? Yes please.

"Sounds perfect." Just like him.
