Annie: Hey baby cakes!
Me: Hey sweet thangg.
Annie: Oh! This is James.
She said with a smile.
Annie: He's a junior.
Me: Hi James, nice to meet you.
He smiled.
James: Nice to meet you too. Your name is..?
Me: Oh wow.. sorry. I'm emily.
James: Pretty name. Cool shades.
Me: Thanks. Try them on.
He put them on.
Me: That's what I call hot.
We both laughed.
I had to admit, he was pretty attractive, and I felt kinda nervous around him. Like I had to say something to fill in the space. So it wouldn't be awkward. Now he was staring at me. Why was he staring at me?
Annie: I met him at the parade. Kate's brother is friends with him.
Me: Oh nice.
She walked away with James, who seemed to be paying no attention whatsoever at her. He kept staring at me. It made me feel really uncomfortable. Was he trying to tell me something?
He kept smiling. Then winked.
Later on that day, I got a text from a number I didn't know.
(texting)
Unknown: Hey it's James.
Me: Hey james.
James: Hah, I'm not usually like this but I just wanted to tell you.. your beautiful. I couldn't keep my eyes off of you.
Me: That's really flattering, but I got the idea you were with Annie.
James: Well then you got the wrong idea. Yeah, she's nice and pretty but your different. Your prettier.
Me: Oh.. thank you.
James: Anytime babe.
Babe? I just won't text back to this.
Another text.
James: By the way, I still have your sun glasses. You wanna come pick them up?
Me: Sure, I'll be right over.
