1016 Words
Kate's Pov ‘You are not a long-term relationship person.’ ‘What?’ ‘You are fun, brilliant, but not in control! You are always looking for adventures! Why a man would take that risk to have you?’   That was hurting. It hit me hard. I used to be so proud to be a complicated girl who never made her date bored. But maybe that kind of girl never can find her Mr.right.  That feeling sucks.   I cuddled in my sofa and turned the Sonos on, sipping a glass of wine. My brain wasn’t working when recalling what Jack said to me. I thought Jack and I had a thing. But it turned out that he didn’t want a serious relationship with me.   I occupied myself with browsing apps on my phone. And I tap to open Tinder, hoping there might be someone I can talk to. So I don't have to deal with all those shitty emotions.   Casually swiping left, left, left, right…. I have spent hundreds of hours on Tinder, I know exactly what kind of guy is my type. When this guy’s profile shows up, I just swipe right without hesitation.   Aha. That guy should be not bad. I mean decent. His name is Nathan. And his picture was taken in the British museum   we’re matched immediately. He swiped right on me too. I’m not surprised. Guys always swipe right.   ‘Teach me python. Would you?’ I text to him ‘haha. How do you know I know python?!’ he was surprised by my help message. ‘In your profile. you are an engineer in the gaming industry. So an IT guy I suppose? I never put my finger on python. But I was told that it’s a smart but simple computer language for stupid new beginners, like me. So you should get the hang of it.’ ‘Wow. I’m impressed! U are smart. Stupid will never be used on you.’ ‘well. Totally am!. Lol’ ‘hhh. so what do you do? A zombie? That’s why you pick brains?! ‘ ‘lol. That ‘s a really good one. I give you that. But no. I'm a photographer, freelancing. ’ ‘I get that from your profile pic. It’s truly beautiful’ ‘Me or the pic? ’ ‘Both. Isn’t that obvious? haha ’ ‘Wanna get a drink?’ ‘Are you legally allowed? ’ ‘If not, I will make a scene. And tell people it’s you who forced me to the bar. Criminal!’ ‘hhhh. Wow. Okk you got me. Hands up in the air. Let me buy you a drink. But I’m new to this town. Any place you would recommend?  “ ‘How about Willy’s? at the cross corner at Elvin Rd&Mannor Rd. I can be there in 30mins. ’ ‘Cool! See you there.’ ‘So it should be at 9 pm. See you then.’ ‘You will not stand me up, will you?’ ‘lol. you will see.’   It‘s a chilly night with a bright moon hanging in the dark sky. No clouds. All crystal clear. Good day for a date.   I recognize Nathan the moment I walked in Willy's. I saw a guy standing in the corner, with a beer in the left hand while phone in the hand. Really short hair, Black t-shirt, wearing sneakers. That’ s him. I just knew. He’ s around 6.1ft tall, very fit. Must work out regularly.   ‘Spot me’ I sent him a message And he turned around, with a big smile.  At that moment, I would say, my heart just flipped.  Honestly, he is better looking than the profile pic on Tinder. And I have to admit that he is really my type. But come on. I’m always the cool girl who never will be easy to get.   ‘Were you so eager to flirt with girls when I wasn’t yet here? ’ I calmly walked to him, said hello. ‘God no! I just dealt with some business issues. And checked if you left me a message but decided to not show up.’ Nathan grinned at me ‘what can I get for you, Miss? ’The bartender asked.  ‘A glass of house white wine would be fine. Thx’ ‘I thought you would have sth like a cocktail.’ The bar was a bit noisy. Nathan had to talk beside my ear. ‘No! I prefer sth pure and mild’ I shouted to make sure he could hear. my heartbeat very fast as my face was too close to his. ‘like you? pure and mild?’ He raised his beer. ‘not sure of it. You tell me. Cheers! ’ I raised and sip the wine ‘What are we toasting to?’ ‘to the pure and mild girl you met on Tinder? FYI. It is me, Kate.’ ‘Nahh. I don't think you are that kind of girl. You are more like a long island. Too sweet to not get drunk’ ‘Then you will be like Scotland whiskey with a smoky flavor. You know, ages come first. ’ ‘Are you joking that I’m old? ’ Nathan smirk at me. ‘No! I was just saying, ages did a good thing on you.hhh’ I couldn’t stop chuckling. ‘You are beautiful’   I stop laughing and stare at Nathan as I realized his arm is around my waist. The heat is passing from his palm through my entire body.   ‘What’ your story?’ He murmured in my ear.   ‘Doesn’t matter.’ I turned around to face him and slightly bit his ear.   I feel hot. And god yes. I want him. Period.
