Last night, I did something completely crazy, and I'd be stupid not to record it down. God, I might just delete this later, but right now, I can't get the thought out of my head. All I can think about is... Jeez, now I'm getting all excited. Alright, alright. Just get started.
So the other night, I was with Ethan. At first, I wasn't entirely sure about him. I think we first met like... Mmm, when was it, exactly? Probably three weeks ago? He seemed nice, but we never really talked much.
Then I started running a new dash courseβhave to keep myself up to speed, and such. Uhh... whatever! Anyways, it was a course he had set up, and he was really impressed with my time.
Now that was the first time I had a proper conversation with him. And the thing is, he didn't really treat me like some kind of sensation or celebrity among the runners. Okay, not like he hadn't heard of me or wasn't another fan or anything like that. No. But I got the feeling he was just... treating me like a person, you know? I felt like I was... just Faith around him.
I don't remember the specifics of everything we talked about that day. Running, work, food, that kinda stuff. I do remember lots of laughing, and god, we must have talked for at least an hour, maybe two, and he was really handsome, too. He had such a caring smile, and even though his shirt wasn't all tight-fitting, I could tell he had a nice body, as well.
Hahaha! There were a few times I got more nervous than I like admitting. I mean, come on! I was all sweaty, tired, my hair was getting in my face, and runner clothes aren't exactly meant to be eye-catching. Of course, I know now he didn't mind, but man, it sure felt like it mattered at the time. Probably my insecure, overactive imagination at work.
But never mind that! Anyways... Well, I guess I should get to the real reason I started making this. Still a little hard to say to myself, even if no one will ever hear this. Forget it, I'll just take it slow.
So first we had one date. I don't know why I said yes. Maybe I was bored? He was that charming? I don't know... But it turned out well, and I really liked talking with him. He offered to drive me back home, but where was the fun in that? Had to race him! And he almost won! But I guess he ate a little too much from dinner. Hahaha! I felt a little bad for him, because he still had to run all the way back to his car. Naturally, after a few hours, I worried if I totally messed up the whole date. But he was a good sport about it, and sent a message saying he'd get me back on the dash course. I'm still waiting, though, Ethan, hahaha!
