The Message That Started It All

Getting To Know Each Other Through Coffee

I reply:
Yeah it is..and I gotta go, boss is gonna kill me, I'm really sorry. Can we continue talking?

Sarah replies:
Of course we can. I'm actually also working now so I will talk to you later?

I reply:
Send me a message when you arrive home.

Sarah replies:
Will do. Bye 👋

I reply:
Bye

After I send the message to Sarah, I go back to serving customers. I know it's weird, but I'm just excited that I finally found someone who is actually maybe interested in me and it's not faking.

*after work*

"Bye boss"

"Bye Angela"

I close the restaurant door and can't help but not glance at the restaurant Sarah works. I already know her face anyways but sadly I couldn't find her. I unlock my phone and send her a message:
Hey Sarah, I'm going back home now. Are you finished with work yet?

To my surprise again, Sarah replies immediately:
Yes, I am about to leave.

I reply:
Okay then, I will let you to it and then we can talk :)

Sarah replies:
You know what, where do you live? I have an idea.

I reply:
Are we immediately going straight to the point? I mean, we barely know anything about each other.

This time Sarah didn't reply to me. It hurt me a little, but I just continued to walk towards the bus stop when a hand grabs my hand. I was about to scream when I realize who is behind me.

"Sarah! You scared me!"

"Sorry Angela"

Me and her are still holding hands and because I barely know her I decide to let go off her hand but Sarah doesn't let go off mine.

"Let's just go" says Sarah

"Sarah, I might have an interest in you but I still barely know you"

"You are right about that, but I won't do anything to you. I don't bite. Now cmon!"

"Okay"

When we arrive at the bus stop and both take a seat,
Sarah asks me: "Where do you live?

"Not sure I should tell you this, yet"

"I said I don't bite"

"Sorry" I shrug

Sarah brings my chin up, saying: "I know what happens to us girls on a daily basis, but I promise you I'm not that person"

"I think my heart just skipped a beat"

"You think out loud, huh?" laughs Sarah

I blush and bury my head in her shoulders

Sarah smiles "Cutie"

"Stop!" I blush even more

"No, I like it"

When my bus arrives, I let go of Sarah's hands, that I didn't realize I was holding but what surprised me is Sarah got up too.

"You are going with this bus too? I ask surprised

"Yes"

We both get in the bus and take a seat. I know I don't trust her yet and barely know her but I'm so tired so I lay on her shoulder.
