January 2018,

It was a normal night out with the girls from work, I was having a blast. Had a couple of drinks, I was loving life. I was so complete within myself (so I thought).

My friend told me she wanted to introduce me to these friends of hers she'd been dying for me to meet.

I was tipsy. I remember I put my hand out to shake yours as I said 'Hi', and tripped over the chair next to me and fell into you.

You laughed.... god that laugh...
And then you caught me.... seems like it was fate... I felt embarrassed but you asked if I was okay. You were so sweet.

Our group moved out into the beer garden, you went to your mates and us girls went to the dance floor. Later you guys joined us. We laughed, we danced and i remember making eye contact with you, hoping you'd ask me to dance.

You were shy, it was adorable. I was to scared to make the first move. And then just when I thought you weren't going to, you came and asked me to dance.

I was drunk, "it's about time you came over, I'd love to,"

We danced, your hands on my hips, my hands on yours. Thing just felt... Dare I say perfect?

I looked up at you, all I remember is thinking god is he going to kiss me? I remember I was nervous, I don't normally  make moves like that. And next thing you know I stood on the tips of my toes and pulled you in.

Wow.... even though I'd had a few drinks I remember the feel of your lips on mine, I'd never felt that feeling before.

I remember pulling away I was overwhelmed with emotion. I had to get a drink.

We talked for hours, you were sweet. I was drunk, by now and definitely had too much. You were leaving and asked me for my phone number, oh no. I wasn't feeling good.

"Get if off Christie!" I yell as I run to the bathroom.

................................................................

It's 3am, I'm sitting out the front of my house with my friend and I realise...

Christie doesn't have my number...

I feel bad.

But I mean with this day and age I'm sure you'll find a way to see me again. You know with all this social media.

I go to sleep thinking about how great tonight was and how I just kissed a stranger.
