A few days of them talking on the phone went by, they couldn't get off the phone, so they really got an opportunity to get to know a little bit about each other but, he was still caught up in his bad habits of having interest in multiple girls, at that time, he couldn't realize that she's different from his usual encounters.
On a Thursday, after their classes, the sky was turning cloudy and the wind started getting stronger, these two took a cab together for the first time, they had a similar conversation to the ones the they would have over the phone. Remember I mentioned that she's new in town, so she had to learn where to get off, the directions, the town, everything.
In a middle of a conversation, her mood changed, he noticed and asked, "Are you okay?", she nods her head, "I don't remember where I should get off", she whispers, he starts panicking, "You're serious?", he asks with concern, she looks around through the window and says, "Yes, I don't remember, but I'll get off in this corner, I'm certain that I will find my way home".
He gets worried about her, "Should I walk you home safe?", he asks, "No, I'll be okay", she says, and then she tells the cab driver to stop at the left corner, before she gets off the cab, he tells her, "Hey, please text me when you get home".
He really wanted to walk her home, but he didn't wanna compel her to agree, because they had only known each other for a week. Fortunately, she got home safe and the moment he got the text saying, "I got home safe", he took a deep breath of relief because he was worried that she'd get lost in this strange place.

A few hours after his conversation with her, his friend, Anny, came into his room and told him they gotta head out to the stores, he grabbed his phone and walked out his brother. "I met a girl", Teddy says with a smile, his brother chuckles and says, "Teddy, you meet a girl everyday", Teddy nods his head and put his hand on his friend's shoulder, "Boy, this time it's different, I have never met a girl like her, she's like an angel in a dress, beautiful as a doll too", he says with a smile. Anny steps back and looks at Teddy, "Are you telling me that this girl has caught your heart? A whole playboy falling in love?", he asked unbelievably.
Teddy says, "Wait, I never said that, I just feel like this time it's different", Anny laughs and says, "Different in what way, is it in a way that could grow into love? Your first love". Teddy shakes his head and smiles, "Let us not jump into conclusions, I'm just happy about a girl, for the first time, but let me get to know her first and, we'll see where this leads".
28 February 2023.
The day before, she gave him a kiss on the cheek, before she could get off the cab, but on this day, the two shared a first kiss.
Just before she could get off the cab, Teddy leaned over to her and asked her, "Can I get a kiss?", she laughed nervously and then there was a quiet moment. They leaned closer to each other and their lips met in the middle, her lips fitted perfectly into his, he didn't wanna stop, but she had to get off the cab.
He thought about her until he got home, she had made it a habit to tell him when she gets home, so she texted him and said, "I got home safe". "Thank you for today, your lips taste amazing, I loved it", he said, "I loved it too", she replied with a smiling emoji.
After their first kiss, they got more closer but they were both still playing it safe, maybe it's because they were both still trying to understand what this was.
When she was trying her best to familiarize herself with him, he would still be around multiple girls and he wouldn't open up to her either, but he knew damn well that her energy is much stronger than the girls he had been with, I guess he couldn't handle it. A few days later, he started distancing himself from her.
She didn't like it, she would constantly try to bring him back but he was just too scared to open up to her, so he would keep an emotional distance between him and her, but everytime he would see other guys courting her, he would get jealous.
She eventually stopped trying to pull him back, he was so caught up in his bad ways, busy with different females during his free time but then a few days later, he was at the nearest store with a crew of girls and his friends.
He saw another guy walking her to the cabs, which was something that only Teddy would do, he got jealous and that's when he called her immediately.
She was already in a cab when he called her, she picked up as if she was anticipating his call, "Teddy", she said, "Who is he?", he asked with a possessive tone.
She laughed, "Nobody, he was just walking me to the cab", he scoffed and stepped away from the crew, "Does he know that you already got a man?", he asked, she laughed again but this time she responded, "Do I have a man?".
"You said you need some time alone, didn't you?", she added, he rubbed his hair with irritation, "Well let him know that your boyfriend is back and that you're in a relationship", he said. She laughed and accepted his demand, "I'll text him right now, I'll send you a screenshot too, is that good?", she asked.
This is the complexity that he possessed, how do you not want to be close to somebody and then at the same time be jealous of anybody that tries to get close to them?
