"Where'd you even meet this guy?" I get ready for my date as my annoying sister asks me questions "Technically at the coffee shop near work but he messaged me on Facebook"
"What?" She asks confused and I roll my eyes having to explain it to her a third time
"He messaged me yesterday and said he took my coffee by accident last week" "But how did he know it was yours"
"My name was on the cup Syd"
"Still for him to look you up and message you is kind of weird"
"That's what I thought, until I saw his pictures" taking my phone I look him up and hand it to her "he's really hot I mean guys like that don't come around often"
She scrolls through the pictures "that's what should scare you Dylan. What if he's a catfish? Nev and Max don't lie"
I laugh "I'll be fine." I finish getting dress and I take my phone from her hand "now please get out so I can leave"
"Let me know how it goes" we walk to the door "and don't have sex with him Dylan"
"Don't tell me what to do." We go our separate ways and I catch a cab to the coffee shop. Chance messaged me yesterday saying he accidentally took my coffee, then we got to talking and he's so interesting so I asked if he'd want to get coffee so he could repay me back for the one he stole.
I get to the coffee shop and I stand outside waiting for him. My palms are sweating and as I'm trying to wipe them off I feel a hand on my arm "hi" I look up to Chance's amazingly featured face, beautiful set of very white teeth, blue eyes that sparkle, and nice silky blond hair I can't wait to run my fingers through
"Oh hi" I quickly reply. He opens his arms for a hug and I stick my hand out for a hand shake, then we switch. Laughing we just walk into the coffee shop
"Nice to finally meet you" he holds the door open for me
"You too" I smile back. We get our coffees and sit at a table far away from everyone
He starts to talk "are you sure it wasn't weird that I messaged you? Because my friends told me that it was sort of stalkery"
"Maybe a little bit" I joke and we laugh "but no it wasn't weird, I'm glad you did" "Good I was afraid you wouldn't come" has he looked in the mirror of course I'd come
"I showed my sister your profile earlier because she thought it was a little weird you messaged and
she tried to convinced me that you're a catfish" He laughs "why's that?"
"Well it's a thing that if you're talking to someone way out of your league online then it's most likely a catfish"
"You think I'm out of your league?" He raised an eyebrow. I embarrassingly sip my coffee avoiding the question "you don't have to answer that" he smiles, good because I wasn't going to. "So tell me about you"
"Well I'm 24 I work in that building over there" I point "Really? What do you do in there?"
"I'm one of the accountants"
"Wow so you're good with numbers"
"Don't sound so interested it's not a very fun job" "Well do you enjoy it?"
"I do sometimes"
"Then it doesn't matter what I think." "What about you, what do you do?" "I'm a firefighter"
My fantasies are coming true! "No kidding?" I try to act cool
"Nope been one for 3 years now" we smile at each other
"That's amazing, now I know who to call when I set my stove on fire trying to make tea" "Please tell me that that's never happened to you before?" he asks laughing
"You'd be surprised" I laugh along
"Now I know to keep you away from all stoves." We talk and laugh getting to know each other "Excuse me we're closing up" one of the baristas says
We snap out of it "jeez have we been here that long?" Chance asks
"3 hours" I reply
"So sorry" we get up "we'll go." Walking out we stand in front of the coffee shop "I had a lot of fun getting to know you"
"Me too"
"Can I call you? Maybe we can do this again" he moves closer
"Please do" he leans in and slowly plants a kiss on my cheek, it feels amazing. He pulls away "bye"
"Ok bye" he waves as he walks away and I stand there watching as he turns the corner. I think about all the jolt of electricity that little kiss sent throughout my face which causes me to smile. Finally I go home.
4 days later...
Chance and I talked almost all day after our date a few days ago. He hasn't asked me out again yet but I'm not worried, we're getting to know each other and I love learning things about him. I look up and the clock strikes 5 meaning I can get out of work. Stuffing my bag with papers I throw it on my shoulder and walk out. "See you in the morning" one of my coworkers yell as I exit the building.
As I walk out I stop at the door noticing someone standing in front of the building that looks exactly like Chance, I couldn't see his face but his body matches Chance's and I could never forget that head of hair. I stand there examining the back of the person and they turn around, to my surprise it's him. Smiling at me as I walk out he walks towards me "hey" we meet each other and he hugs me, oh he smells so freaking good
"Hi" I stand there letting him embrace me, my head against his very hard pecs because he's way taller than me "what are you doing here?" I ask as we let go of each other
"Well I knew you worked here I just didn't know when so I waited out here for you" "Seriously? How long have you been waiting?"
"About an hour or so not too long" he smiles
"I'm sorry I should've told you when I get out" "That would've ruined the surprise"
"What surprise?"
"Come on" he starts to walk and I follow. "Where are we going?"
"You'll see" he doesn't say more. "So how was work?" "Uninteresting, how was work for you?"
"It was good." We walk and talk until we reach a fire station "we're here" "Is this where you work?" I ask excited
"Yes, I wanted to show you. Come on" we walk in and everyone is everywhere. A bunch of beautiful men half naked walking around and talking, is this what heaven looks like? "Let me introduce you to a few of my friends" we walk up to his friends
