Shayne's POV
next morning
When I opened my eyes from my brief slumber it was already sunny. I had only slept for two hours because of one reason.
Cassandra...
What was about her that drew me to her?
Ever since I met her last night I could not stop thinking about her and when she messaged me agreeing to date to me it added a cherry to a top and when I went to bed I could not stop dreaming about her.
And by dreaming about her I mean my mind was consumed with thoughts about the her-the way she looked, the way she smiled, moved, her voice.
I dreamed about how we went horse riding with carriage in a park in the evening and how Cassandra wore the most beautiful dress and her soft hair was moved to the side. I wore a dress shirt and black pants with black shoes and Cassandra and I were cuddling up in the carriage and it was just her and I. Everything in the dream felt just right.
It felt as if I knew her for a long time and now in few days we will go on a date which was just nuts in a good way because we could be ourselves around each other and not be awkward.
Why did I turn to mush around her?
I sat up in my bed and looked around my bedroom to understand my surroundings due to the fact I was so sleep-deprived and my brain understood jack-shit when I had not slept at all. I felt as if someone had DDT me through hardwood floor and beat my butt with a hammer.
I felt so dazed
My room was really neat and tidy due to the fact I lived in a small apartment and needed to keep everything neat and tidy or else I would lose my mind. The best part about my room was that it was furnished the way I wanted and when I moved in it was already light and welcoming which made renovation easier for me.
I grabbed my phone and saw it was already eight o clock which meant that it was time to get up and start my day.
''Time to get up'' I sighed and hopped out of bed and dashed to the bathroom. My bathroom was very cozy and neat-it had a shower and sink that was in an oval shape and of course toilet as well as a big mirror that had a cool square shape.
I looked at myself in the mirror and saw how crappy I actually looked after not getting sleep. I had black circles around my eyes and not to mention bags.
''I need to get some rest I look like a mess'' I mumbled to myself as I washed my face with cold water and wiped it with a towel before hopping into the shower and turned on water letting water hug me and wash away my sweat and waking me up fully.
It felt so good.
I washed with mint-body - gel and then I stepped out of the shower and dashed to the bedroom and put on my sweats and Sonic shirt and as I got dressed I saw myself in the mirror and said ''Now I look less scary and more presentable time to start the day''.
I dashed to kitchen.
Ah, my kitchen -it had earthy tones and it was quite spacious and practical. I grabbed Minute Maid juice bottle and poured some of the bottle content in my glass and downed it and made myself a burrito with turkey and began to eat it which satisfied my hunger and made my stomach happy.
Then as I continued eating I, I turned on the TV to watch the news but instead of the news, I saw her...
The one who doesn't leave my head...
Cassandra was being interviewed about her and YouTube career for the segment self-made people-she looked so beautiful with her dark hair and wearing a blue blouse and pants. Her beautiful brown eyes made my heart skip a beat and bite my lip.
After ending things with Courtney I thought I would not date for a while but then Cassandra comes in my life and does a 180. I laid on my sofa and watched Cassandra's interview when suddenly my phone beeped.
I picked up my phone and saw I had received a message from Damien which said ''Hey man you okay?''
I could not lie to my friend because he knew me like a book and whenever I would lie he would respond '''Truth now'' so lying was not an option.
I sighed deeply and texted ''Nope didn't sleep last night how about you''.
I placed my phone down when once again it beeped and as I picked it up I saw ''I am okay and on my way, we need to talk''.
''Thank god I will have someone to talk with'' I murmured and texted back ''Okay'' and leaned back on the sofa and watched TV when suddenly I heard a knock and I plopped back up and went to check who it is.
It was Damien.
I opened the door and first thing what I hear from Damien as he entered was ''Wow you do look like shit''
I looked at him like a lost puppy and said ''Nice to meet you too''
''Sorry'' He murmured and I replied ''It's okay can I offer you something? Coffee? Tea? Juice?''
Damien smiled and said ''Coffee would be awesome please'' and I nodded and went to pour water in my water kettle and turned it on so it would warm up and then Damien asked ''Um Shayne?''
I looked at him sleepily and asked ''Yeah?''
''Why you didn't sleep last night what's wrong?'' Damien asked and looked at me worried and I sighed deeply once again and said ''It's because of Cassandra'' and then Damien cocked an eyebrow and said ''Same Cassie you met last night?''
I nodded and hide my face in my hands and then Damien said ''Dude you like her there is nothing wrong with liking girl''
I ran my fingers through my hair and said ''Yeah but with her it's different'' and Damien sat down and asked ''And how it's different ?''
I then pulled two cups out and made coffee handing once cup of coffee to Damien and said ''With Cassandra, it's different in a way that when I see her my heart skips a beat, seeing her face makes my day better, hearing her giggle makes me smile, she is someone that has taken my breath away, she is so beautiful inside and out and she is so down to earth which is awesome she is not some girl, she is someone special man ''
''Wow she sounds special '' Damien murmured and I added ''See my point and yes she is '' and Damien nodded asking ''Yes but did you asked her out on a date?''
I nodded saying ''Yes and we are going out on Friday but I think it will be our one and only date'' and then Damien asked '''Why so''.
I looked at him and said ''I mean look at her she is knockout and I am just you know Shayne '' and then Damien sighed and said as he looked at me ''Shayne Robert Topp now listen to me and listen to me good, I saw how she looked at you when we did that video and I saw love and her enjoying your company also would she agreed to go on a date with you bro stop being so negative on yourself ''.
I wanted to say something but then Damien added'' Like how do you know it will be just one date maybe it will be something so wonderful, have faith it will be fine, you don't have to go extreme on dates, small dinner and chatting is awesome for a start''.
Damien was right. I should have faith and not be Debby downer. I smiled and said ''Thanks mate now enough about me how are you''
Damien smiled naughtily and said ''Well me and Nicole we will go to on a date too later today '' I smiled and said ''That's awesome have fun you two''
''We will and for the date, we will go to get burgers and see a movie Jumanji most likely'' He murmured and took a sip and I smiled saying ''That's quite nice'' and Damien smiled and said ''Yes, now how about we go to office?''
I looked at him and said ''Sounds like party'' and went to get ready by putting on my Stone Cold Steve Austin shirt and shorts and sneakers and joined Damien and I turned off my TV and we left to work.
