Chapter 1: The Meeting
I wait nervously at the doors that lead into the secure area. When they open out he will walk, both of us taking in each other as if for the first time. I wore my long jeans and Harry potter shoes and shirt. Casual and well fitting but still enough so he doesn't think I'm trying to hard. My outfit for tonight stashed in the bag in the car.
I bite my lip and wiggle my foot and listen to my heart race. Every second getting faster and louder. I want to run. And yet I also want to stay, I need to stay. No matter how much he scares me I can't go another day, hour, minute without him.
hear footsteps behind the door. I scan the crowd emerging and I don't see him. The crowd starts to dissipate and I look around, scared I missed him. I start to become frantic when a pair of hands covers my eyes.
"Guess who." the drawl is distinct, and I smile.
"The grim reaper, come to steal my soul." I joke.
"Just your heart for now darling, the soul comes later." he twists me around and before I can even see him he's kissing me. He took my word when I said I would run if I had to face him. Only he could have found a solution this sweet.
My stomach is still bubbling when he pulls away. My eyes open and I see the knowing smile playing across his face. I blush brightly and turn away, not saying anything as I start towards the baggage area. We got all his stuff and put it in the back of my truck, in almost silence.
I walk to the other side of the truck and get in, pulling out and driving home.
"Are you hungry?" it is the simplest thing I can think to say, yet my voice still cracks and I blush again.
"Not yet, I think we should just go home first." he's looking at me. He hasn't stopped looking at me. I can see him chucking to himself in the corner of my vision, and I feel sick to my stomach. "Do you want me to drive? You're looking a little pale."
I die a little inside. "No, I'm fine we're almost home." I drive up into my driveway. Home. Finally. I have been anally cleaning for hours, making sure no matter where he looked it was perfect. I helped him get all of his stuff into my little two room loft.
I'm just standing awkwardly in the middle of my living room while he's in the bathroom. I sit, and then stand, and then sit again.
I have been waiting for this for months. I was a lonely little shy nerdy girl, doing nothing but drawing and going to class. Then I met him. My friend had told me to get this app, saying I needed to get out and meet people. I didn't want to meet people. People looked at me weird. If I talked I was quiet, and it was normally a reference to a movie no one had seen.
He just messages me one day. A lot of people had, and my hopes weren't high. I refused to show anyone my breasts, therefore no one talked to me for more than 5 minutes. But him...he was nice. He asked how I was. What I liked. He watched the anime I loved and read the books I had poured over to escape my own flawed boring world. Eventually our conversations did turn to sex, but only after a long while of learning about each other. Becoming comfortable.
