Days turn into weeks without hearing from him. I started watching cars go around in circles, and it's good, but it's definitely not better than watching motorcycles go around in circles.
Sometimes I wonder if-suddenly a message pops up on my phone at the table right in front of me. It was a number I didn't recognize. The message said that it was Alejandro. I can feel the surge of euphoria within me at this moment.
"Hey, what you up to?" Another message popped up.
I immediately replied with: "Nothing much."
It was quickly followed up by his message "Want to hang out? It's the weekend, and the weather is perfect today too."
"I would love to." We talked about where we would meet and at what time.
I'm walking to the fair, excited to meet him. There he was, standing. Wearing a crisp black shirt, the top button off. He looked majestic, he was wearing simple clothes, yet he was still captivating. My heart felt like it missed a beat. "Hi!" I said, my voice almost bent into a high-pitched kinda like a scream. Maybe I was too excited.
"Hey, darling..." Oh, my goodness gracious-he called me darling. I'm going to freaking die because of so much joy building up. I wanted to squeal but I chose not to.
I ran like a penguin to him. It was cold and turned out it was a not-so-perfect weather, but it felt like it was because he's here...what am I even saying? "So this is the newly opened fair?" I asked. I don't know if I sounded like a child getting a big toy on Christmas.
"Yeah, it looks promising." he assumed.
"I hope it is promising." I commented.
We rode a rollercoaster. I screamed like a goat...it was embarrassing, but he just laughed and all I could do was blush! He won me a teddy bear. It has a dark brown cowboy hat with a matching belt. The teddy bear itself has a light brown color and has a cute face. We went on so many rides, the scariest one? The Ferris wheel. I am scared of heights, so when we were at the very top, I squeezed his hands as if my life depended on it and held my breath. He was actually concerned about it, but I managed somehow.
"It's 7:00 already, wanna go to a restaurant? My treat." he said. This was becoming more of a dating vibe rather than a hanging out one.
"Are you sure? I cannot really refuse that offer. "I love food...maybe a little bit too much." I said casually.
"Can't say the opposite. "Let's go?" He looked at me, but there was something in that look. I just said yes and went with him. After that, he took me home.
"Thank you, I had a wonderful time. "Uh-see you?" I kind of stuttered.
He chuckled. "Of course, darling. Oh, just remembered- watching cars go around or motorcycles?" he remembered.
"Staying loyal to my motorcycles." I said confidently.
"Guess I'll stick to my cars... goodbye, darling." He took my right hand and kissed it gently and just left. What was that!?
