Chapter 3.
I took a shower and get ready to go to work; my mind was still confused about what happened last night, I know that what happened was a one night only thing and that was really disappointing, I got dressed and went to work.
He was already there, looking as good as always, he waved at me when he saw entering through the door of the store and I smiled at him.
Work time went fast and I didn't get a chance to talk to Nathan, I wanted to but it was like the universe was against me, when I got out of work I went to Randi's house and told her about what happened last night.
"What do you think?" I asked after telling her the story about the party.
"Well, I don't' know what to say" she admitted.
"Come on, do you think he's into me?" I said.
"Maybe" she said "but, as I said before, take it easy, people aren't…"
"I know, people aren't gonna fall from me immediately" I interrupted her, we both started laughing.
"Exactly" she smirked.
Then I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket, I pulled it out and see that I got a message from Nathan.
"Who is it?" Randi asked.
"It's a sms from Nathan" I said, and she took away my phone and read it out loud.
"Nice party last night, we should do it again, Nathan." She read.
"Really, that's what it says?" I asked nervous.
"Here, read it" she said tossing me my phone.
I read it; she wasn't lying, I felt my heart speeding up its beating and I felt how my face turned red, Randi just started laughing.
"What's so funny?" I said turning my face away.
"Nothing" she said laughing.
"Yeah, I better go" I said.
"No, please" she said "stay for dinner, I'll cook"
"That's another reason to leave" I smirked, she stuck out her tongue.
I went home driving at low speed thinking about that message, what does he meant with that? Was it serious or was it just a joke? I was hoping it was for real but I knew I wasn't that lucky, either way I decided to ask him tomorrow, at work.
That night I had the weirdest dream of my life, I was at work with Nathan and he came to me and kissed me, then he went out and I followed him, he turned around to face me, when we were outside of the store he punched me in the guts, I woke up sweating and breathing hardly, it felt so real that I could feel the pain on my stomach, I saw the clock and it said 3:00 am, I knew I wasn't going to be able to sleep again so I got up and made some scrambled eggs, I ate watching TV.
When I decided it was late enough to go to work I changed my clothes and went straight to the store, he wasn't there yet, and that was good, that way I would have more time to think about what I was gonna say to him. When he entered I started sweating again, but I wasn't gonna let that stop me.
"Hey Nathan" I said when he passed next to me.
"Hi Michael" he said.
"Can I ask you something?" I said.
"Sure, what's up?" he said and I could see the curiosity on his face.
"Well, I was wondering, what did you mean with that message?" I said.
"I meant that we should do it again" he said with a huge smile on his face.
"Really?" I asked shocked.
"Yeah, for real, it was fun" he smirked.
"Well, wanna go for a drink this Saturday?" I dare to ask.
"I would love to" he said.
"That's a date" I said regretting about saying that in the instant the words came out of my mouth.
"That's a date" he repeated smiling.
I went behind the cash register and stayed there all day long, until it was time to close, I still couldn't believe that Nathan used the word "date", I knew it didn't mean the same to him that it did to me, but somehow that didn't affect my enthusiasm.
