I Don't Want To Not Remember

Well I guess it's time to tell the story of what really happened. He got back from California and we texted, not a lot, not everyday, but enough to get me feeling excited. We both couldn't make it the first day, but it was alright. I texted him the next week and without saying anything, he asked me if I was free Friday. Ugh yeah...I mean it would take some convincing from my parents but I could definitely make it work. After PROMISING to be home by 10, I went to work, nervously anticipating the night ahead. Around 3 he checked in.

Hey we still down to hang? 2:04

Yup.

Shall we say 7:40 at the gas station? 4:03

See ya there :) 4:27

That smile warmed my heart every time I looked or thought about it. Could it mean nothing? Yup. Was he probably just being nice? Yup. Oh well it was cute. 

I closed the office as fast as I could, running around and watching the clock. I left 5 minutes later than I wanted to, but I reassured myself that the gas station was close by. After a hurried goodbye to an old coworker I worked my way across the street, around a round about, and right into a parking spot. 4:30  dang it, I only had 10 minutes before he was supposed to be here. Quickly, I grabbed my clothing bag and purse and went to change. I worked fast to get dressed, and hard to make my red sweaty face disappear. One final swipe of my powder and that was going to have to do. I ran outside and put my bags away so I could look nonchalant when he got here. 4:38. Ok, I could deal. I sat down and pulled my phone out. Something silver caught my eye. Of course it would be his car. I quickly smiled at him, and then texted my parents. Then I got out of the car.

He got out too and I walked around my car to his. I don't remember if I said hello, but I remember him telling me that his day was long, and I told him I was hot. Then he asked what we were going to do, and I just told him were just winging it. When we got near the end of the parking lot, we went right, around the round about and then ended up on the freeway. I chose the direction by a coin at least until we got on the freeway and then he took over. 

We talked the entire way to our destination. I don't remember what specifically about, but he correctly predicted something and I was surprised. Normally I have the psychic skills, and I am also way more flirty. Tonight I just talked to him as I always did, probably giggled more than normal, but I thought I was doing good staying strictly friendly. As we drove, it was exciting yet terrifying to not know where
