Once upon a time, there was a girl and there was a guy....they both weren't looking for anything, but found everything one day at the Baptist Student Ministry at UNT. She noticed he was standing by himself and so she bravely went up to talk to him. (Totally out of character for her.) They talked about school and his football injury that changed his plans and landed him here. She couldn't remember half of what they talked about, or even his name- but she did remember that she couldn't stop smiling. They continued to run into each other. She saw him at church one time from far away, she was sitting by herself and was tired of being alone. She debated back and forth whether to go say hi and sit with him... then she saw a pretty girl come sit next to him, and assumed maybe they were a thing. (For my Denton friends, this was Danielle by the way. haha.) They ended up being on the same flag football team with the BSM and after confirming with someone else that "Graham's tall friend" was on the roster, she was excited. At the first practice they both now admit to showing off, and during a scrimmage she talked some trash and threatened to shoulder check him if he came her way. As the season went on, Graham insisted that we keep having practices even though we played twice a week (and were terrible)- she came to find out now that he had convinced Graham to keep having practice because he wanted another chance to see her. After a game one night she walked off by herself (a habit of hers) to go for a run (another habit). As he watched her walk away alone while the rest of the team was still hanging out, he remembers wanting to talk to her more than ever. As she started to run a truck pulled up slowly beside her, she looked over and it was him- asking if she was going to be ok running by herself- she said yes, and thanks and continued to fight back a smile while she ran. When she got back she decided this was a good chance to talk to him, so she texted him to say she was back safely and wasn't a victim of a serial killer. He texted back "Good". She took the one word text as a sign to back off, so she let it go- oh well, I'm not ready to get into anything anyways. A couple minutes later, she got a text, "Would you want to go to dinner sometime?" She kept the text opened and put it on her bed and began to pace around.... Am I ready? I don't even know him.... I've never... I don't know.... but he's....and I'm...... I mean, it's just dinner right?
To be continued.... ; )
