The alarm went off at 6.30am, I jumped out of bed and got ready for work. Today was a special day, today was the day I was meeting a girl for dinner and then a rock show. We met online and hit it off one week ago. I raced to work and having left the radio on too loud from last night, an anthem blasted out from the radio as I turned the car on.

Normally in my line of work , I take great care in making sure everything is done correctly, to others it seems like I’m a lonely guy who has nothing else to do. However, not today. Today my mind raced around like rollercoaster and I counted down the hours, doing anything I could do pass the time. I even abandoned my colleagues at lunch to just make sure everything was booked and ready for tonight. This was my shot and I was taking it. Every time I looked at her online profile, I knew she was the one, I felt it.

5pm came and went and I was out the door. I didn’t need a reason to stay a minute longer. I rushed to the parking lot to get into my car and ran as I couldn’t wait. To pick her up on our very first date.

I hope this lasts forever and ever.
