invisible string theory

Chapter 3

MADELINE-

As I walk back from my late night run to the gas station cause I was hungry as one does anyways I'm currently listening to 'Maroon' by Taylor swift of course I don't know why but I always loves late night walks it was so peaceful when I would put Taylor swift on and listen to her on full blast is honestly therapeutic to some not all. Anyways I'm walking home as I bump to this gorgeous man, he looks like he was maybe a year older then me the lightest blue eyes that make you think of the ocean, the darkest brown hair that was just the right amount of fluffiness which made it look so soft he was also very tall he maybe had a couple inches on me at my 5'5 height that I have been since I was in high school.

I then look up at him as I finished checking him out as I say softly. "Oh shit i'm sorry I didn't see where I was going." I look to see him scanning my body and in that moment I suddenly feel self-conscious abut my body I always thought my body was never good enough even though I had the perfect hourglass figure. I always felt self conscious and I never knew why, he then spoke up his voice being deep and husky. "No its fine I promise it was a mistake I wasn't looking where I was going either so its fine." He kinda sounded awkward which was honestly adorable to see. I then look over his face as I see a couple freckles around his nose he had a sharp jaw line the most kissable lips I've ever seen yet my thoughts were interrupted by his voice. "I'm Nicholas and you are..?" He says as he extends his hand for a handshake. "I'm Madeline but my friends call me maddie." I say as I put my hand in his as I feel a slight shock and I was hoping he also felt that shock.

"Maddie... cute name my friends call me Nico." I then blush slightly as he calls my nickname cute but the night hides it as I forget i'm listening to 'Maroon' by Taylor swift which is perfect for this moment I then forget I was talking to him as I speak again. "Thank you for that compliment Nico." I then check my phone as I see its 12:30 AM which means we spent thirty minutes just staring at each other and having little to know conversations. "Look Nico I really have to go now but it was nice talking to you." I say as I look up at him again he then says. "Yeah I have to go to but I hope to see you soon right?" "yep lets hope anyways have good rest of your night Nico." I say as I put one of my headphones in as I play my Taylor swift playlist, then he speaks again. " yeah you to mads goodnight." I blush again the called mads nobody ever called me that it was always just maddie but since he called me that I felt kinda special but then I gave him a wave as I walk off in the other direction he said something again but I was already almost to my apartment building.

As I get inside my apartment I'm greeted with Layla sleeping on the couch while the TV was watching some TV show she watches I then walk over to her as I turn the TV off and cover her with a blanket and then I walk to my room as I get into a oversized shirt and some shorts I found in my dresser I then plop does on my bed as I think about the encounter with that gorgeous guy named Nico and his light blue eyes as thats the face I think about before I go to sleep.

THE NEXT DAY-

The next day i'm woken up by Layla jumping on me telling me to. "Get up maddie!" She says as she keeps shaking me as I open my eyes I come in contact with my best friends smiling face as I say still half asleep. "Ok i'm up I'm up." I then gently pushed her off and I sit up staring at her. She was always like this always so happy in the morning and cheerful, I am to but I prefer my sleep more. when I was in high school people would always tell me how I was the hopeless romantic and I agreed with them half the time I mean I read romance books I was an advent Taylor swift listener I only dreamed about being in a actual relationship, not the one you see on in books or in the movies you see but a real relationship.

I would always say I would get a boyfriend when I grow up, I'm now 24 and haven't had a relationship since the whole James and Jessica situation and I never want to have that situation again. I than forget that Layla was right here next to me. "Shit Layla, I have to get to work or else ill be late." I say as I scramble to get out of the bed and over to my closet. I pick out a white long-sleeved bodysuit and paired it with washed out jeans, and a pair of white converse and a white head band. I did my brown hair in loose curls and put some mascara on and some lip gloss on as I walk out of the apartment not without saying goodbye to Layla and with that I grab my purse and phone and I walk out of the apartment.
