After work, I headed straight home to just relax but well my mind couldn't turn off. I really need to get out of this house and do something, can't stay upset forever. Getting ready I put on this sexy black dress with black wedge sneakers, Curl my hair, and put makeup on. After I'm finished I head out the door to go to Riley's Tavern, maybe I'll see Greg again tonight. I've been seeing him a lot lately after that one incident at the bar. I haven't hung out with him since our high school days but it's like we've never been apart. I've never noticed how much fun I have when he is around and how safe it feels to be near him. He's taken my mind off of a lot, listens to my concerns, and gives me great advice. He's made me smile so much throughout these days we've spent together. I haven't smiled this much since the fight with Logan.
Walking through the door Greg is making drinks for his customers. He looks up toward the door and our eyes meet. He smiles at me and tells me to come over, honestly, my face has been heating up since I saw him. This is embarrassing!! He can't see how red my face is right? You know I can totally blame it on my makeup! When I reach the bar he comes out from behind giving me a hug and saying "Hey beautiful, how's your day been? You look really great tonight" "Oh it's been good and thank you, I wanted to dress up for once. Do you like it?" " Yeah, I do. You're the most beautiful girl here tonight. I'll have to do something to keep the men away from you" Why am I blushing?
He's just flattering me since we're friends but thinking that way kinda saddens me. He looks at me smiling saying " Looks like I made you blush" "No way this is just my makeup how could you make me blush" "Oh is that right? Well, how about we get dinner tonight and I'll try to prove you wrong" "You're on! You won't win though" After that, he got back to work and I waited for him to close. When he closes up, He heads to the kitchen so I follow behind. He starts cooking us dinner. I go over to where he is cooking and say "I didn't know you could cook?" "Well, you never asked and I like to surprise a beautiful lady" Giggling I respond "I bet you say that to all the ladies you cook for" He looked kinda hurt when I said that.
Did I hurt him just by saying that? I mean he's a total hottie so I figured he had a bunch of women that he'd gone out with. As I was fixing to speak he started saying "Umm no I don't, I've only cooked for you." His face and ears are completely red. He's embarrassed that's so cute!! Walking over to him, I grab his face, and turn it toward me smiling saying " So looks like I'm your first woman to cook for. That's an honor. I will say this though looks like I can make you blush." "What I'm not blushing, it's just hot in this kitchen that's all" "Alright we'll go with that" After the meal was cooked, we sat at the bar to eat. He looked at me saying "Ladies first. I wanna hear what you think" "Why thank you. I'm sure it will taste good" I took a bite of the fettuccine he made and oh my goodness it tasted so good. Finishing the bite I took, I said "It's so delicious!!! You're absolutely an amazing cook" "Well thank you Becca that means a lot" We finished eating and kept drinking wine as we talked about life, family, friends, etc. He's easy to talk to as usual.
During our talk, I forgot how much of a lightweight I am. I've only had 4 glasses of wine but I'm already tipsy. Greg looks at me noticing and says "It's time to take you home beautiful" "I don't want to go home, I want to stay and talk with you more. I'm not too tipsy" "I'm taking you home so let's go". That's upsetting but he definitely is a gentleman. He helps me walk to his jeep, opens the door, and helps me in. Starting up his vehicle the time pops up and it's 2 am. Can't believe we stayed out this late. As we pull into my driveway he helps me out and opens the front door of Annmera's and my house.
Walking me in he lays me on the couch. He looks at me and says " I really wish you wouldn't drink that much." I laugh and say " I'm sorry Greg. Please don't be mad. Can I tell you something though" " Becca you can tell me anything and I'll never be mad at you. No matter what you say or the choice you make" "Greg is it okay if we hang out more? I want to get to know you better because I feel so safe when I'm with you and I love when you hug me and hold me in your arms. I have other guy friends but I've never felt that way with them not even Logan. I want to know why only you can make me feel this way!" Greg is blushing and it's so cute. Is he in love with me?
He's smiling at me and holding my face in his hand he uses his thumb to rub my cheek. Saying " Becca I'd love to hang out with you more and you made me really happy saying those words. But just so you know if you keep being cute like this I won't let go of you not even to that idiot Logan." Laughing I say " Greg are you saying you love me? Haha" Greg looks at me then bends down and kisses me passionately then pulls away saying " Yeah that's exactly what I'm saying, I have for a while. I've seen how you struggled with your feelings toward Logan because your sister and him both liked each other and you were caught in the middle. And you couldn't even tell your sister your own feelings. I've seen it all, I don't want you to get hurt anymore! Whatever you choose and if you still choose him, I will support you with everything I have because I want you to always smile brightly. I'll be here no matter what Becca, I promise you that"
Greg told me to lie back down but I couldn't do that so I just grabbed his face and kissed him. His eyes went wide until he caved into my kiss. I pulled away and said " Greg I want to know you more. Thank you for telling me all your feelings. I do know you told Logan to man up and talk to me but he's still ignoring me. You told him that you would steal me away right?" "How do you even know that Becca?" "Someone overheard you and told me about it. Greg, I think you are stealing me away though because I feel more at home in your arms and with you than I ever have with Logan. I want to give these feelings a while though so I don't hurt you by being indecisive later. Can you wait until I find my answer and be my friend still?" " Of course Becca. I'll wait for you but if you give me the answer I hope for just know I'm very possessive. But if you choose the other I will do my best to support and be happy for you."
After our conversation Greg kisses me on the forehead, says goodnight, then walks out the door. My heart is pounding so much!! Before I go to bed I'm gonna ask if he can take me to work so I can spend time with him more. Today is gonna be the day I finish everything and talk to Logan. After I sent the text Greg responded saying he'd love to take me. Guess I better go to sleep now so I can at least get 5 hours of sleep before work.
