The Date
This was it, the day was here, I know that I probably shouldn't be hoping for too much from him but that's not helping me from hoping. I was there standing in my dress, looking out for him, and he came in looking nervously with his blue shirt and to my surprise he had flowers in his hands. We found a table to sit on and stared at each other for long enough not knowing where to begin, he broke the silence saying that he brought me flowers and apologized for being very conventional with his choice of gift. I was quick to tell him that I loved them and was indeed surprised to get a gift. He then said "I dunno what you have in mind but let me tell you this I like you but I know for a fact that this won't end well, I'm a narcissistic person who walls himself from people and you're the right opposite of that perhaps thats why you liked me, you found sympathy for me and wanted to be a part of my life but let me tell you this, its just not how it works, this will end even before it starts." I was lost in words, not that i expected him to straight away say that he liked me but this was still too much for me take in, after a few minutes of silence I said "Wow that was a lot for me to take in, you know what you maybe right and I'm indeed building something out of hope and this may fall off but all i know is that what I built is beautiful and I'm ready to fight to keep this even if it is going to fall off one day, I like you and admire you, thats all i know if you're gonna call it sympathy then I'm afraid you're wrong, for as long as you know you've always pushed people out of your life and I believe you are capable of loving people, love me is all that I ask of you". He had a smile to his face but I couldnt tell if was it mockery or his approval of my opinion, he then said "you know this isnt what i expected out of this night, I saw this going two ways; either both of us forcing it to look like a normal date by complimenting each others costumes and all or me saying something that would make you rethink your decision but god you're one persistent women! We will see what happens i suppose". My heart was filled with happiness but i was still stunned, we then spent hours talking, it was one of the best conversations I've ever had.
