The next day, it was my day off and I had nothing to do so I decided to open the piece of paper Sheryl forcefully put into my hand and it wrote "This is my contact number"and on the bottom of the paper was her number. After awhile I decided to send a text to her saying "Hey, you may not know me but I'm the guy who work at the garage that you thought was robbing you and the guy you forcefully put a piece of paper with your contact number on it". No long after I got a reply from her and it said "Oh hi, I am so sorry for the trouble I caused you. The paper was meant for someone else but I guess is fine since I owe you and apology and I'm too shy to apologize to you face to face". I was surprise to know that such refine women is actually a very shy person, I thought to myself who the paper could be for and I remembered the tall well dressed man and after another long time of thinking I came to the conclusion of that Sheryl is indeed not related to him but instead in love with him but it seem to that the man is currently dating someone which happen to be my childhood friend. I replied saying
"Was this paper originally for the well dressed man?"
Sheryl replied:
"It would be better if we discuss face to face, let's go to the new cafe down the street tomorrow 2PM, I owe you a huge apology anyways"
Sooner than I thought I would be going out with the girl that I am head over heels for, I agreed to her proposal.
The day arrived where I would be going out with her and I skipped work for this, I would be lying if I were to say im not nervous. Truth be told, I'm the shut-in that never goes out with people and only goes out to work and to buy food. The night before I didn't manage to get any sleep so I was really tired on the day I was supposed to go out with her. I was so nervous I went out an hour before the designated time, my tiredness only grew as time pass. An hour later, she arrived surprisingly on time, words cant describe how pretty she looked and her smell, is as if I was in a perfume store, she smelled amazing. Her dark blue dressed with small stars and a black top to pairs perfectly with the dress, her hair in a high pony tail with two parts of the hair to the side and perfect bangs, everything was perfect she looked like an angel send from heaven, that's how pretty she was. Before I could say anything to her she tripped and fell onto me, we both fell and she fell perfectly on my pelvis, she got so embarrassed again and slap me on my face and quickly stood up. Safe to say I got a huge handprint on my face, she apologize soon after.
"Today's treat is on me, treat it as a apology from all the trouble I cause!!" Said Sheryl
We walked to the cafe and it was surprisingly empty but we didn't thought much of it, as we walked to the counter to order our drinks and the cashier showed us a advert saying "Couples drink free today" then I remembered today is Valentines day. Yet again before I get the chance to say anything Sheryl hugged my arm tightly and
"Yes we are indeed a couple"said Sheryl to the cashier
She took me by surprised and yet again my heart skip a beat but it feel like my heart has completely stopped working.
We sat down at a table beside a window and the view outside was amazing, the stuff we ordered arrived surprisingly fast, as we were enjoying our drinks and food we were enjoying it so much we almost forget what we were here to do. Luckily Sheryl remembered and proceed to explain what was yesterday about.
"So the well dressed man is my childhood friend and I have a major crush on him, his name is Miyu Nazuki a CEO at a tech company" Said Sheryl happily
Not going to lie, her introducing him to me so happily made me very jealous and turn my mood completely 180 degrees. As she continues to rambling how nice and how amazing he is, my mind drifted off and thought to myself I would have no chance to be with her, as she have a crush on him and not me and this is a major one sided love. I was thinking so much that I didn't realize she was trying to get my attention many times.
"Huh what's wrong" I replied
"Your Ice cream is melting" Sheryl replied
My mind was so pre-occupied I didn't even noticed. Safe to say I lose my mood for the rest of the day, I automatically payed for the bill without letting her pay as planned.
"What's on your mind?" Asked Sheryl
"Nothing just work related" I replied
Without realizing it was late out, I walked her home awkwardly as no words were exchange because my mind was still overthinking stuff.
"Let's do this another time when your feeling better"Said Sheryl
"Sure"I replied
I rushed home and I was depressed, knowing how the girl I like and always thinks about already have someone she likes. I was truly delusional
