The Destiny we Share

Butterflies

Another day another lecture *phew**

As I entered the class I made eye contact with Jacob (Mr. flirty ass) I realized I have to tell him my decision about the date damn!!!

“The class is finished you guys can leave now”, the professor said

I saw that Jacob began to make his way toward me. I bumped into ***someone**** as I was sprinting out of the lecture hall. I apologized, picked up my phone from the floor, and turned to face that person.

it was " the white tee guy"

I quickly apologized and rushed my way back to the cafeteria …….

While I was still in shock from what had happened,

After a while of zoning out, Nathan suddenly appeared and sat next to me, yelling,

"Yo!" Wasupp Eva?

I smiled but was still zoned out

Daniella came right after him and we three were sitting there chitchatting.

My crush just passed by and I caught him staring at me while passing by.

My friends noticed what just happened and asked me like

What is going on????

I told them the whole story

to which Nathan replied, “It's going to be vacation in a week if you don’t go talk to him now there might be a chance you will never see him again”.

My heart sank…….oh damn I totally forgot that

But I don’t have the guts to go start a conversation with a stranger…..

Meanwhile

My crush sat and ate alone and started going towards the library

I said “ he is always alone, he eats alone, and never saw him with anyone “

Nathan said “Let me go stalk him for a bit and see what this guy is about “

Saying that he left

I and Daniella were just leaning onto each other……and let out a deep breath.....

In a few minutes, Nathan was back with some tea …..

He said he saw him sitting alone surrounded by books and a laptop ……

he looked too hot to not have any friends though!!

Is he an introvert?

Or a sociopath??

All these questions flooded in my head

Later that day I came back home and called my best friend/cousin and told her the whole story …..we share everything ….. we literally grew up playing with Barbies to sharing our first kiss stories …..and she is a psychology major !! I always end up getting free therapy sessions …….

She heard the whole story and said “ it looks like he might be interested in you too ……but we never know unless you approach him or the other way around ……let me ask you one thing, Eva….

Were you always with friends or ever alone??

I said “Always with friends”

She said,” Will you ever approach someone when they are surrounded by people all the time?

I said,” No”

She goes” Then how can you expect him to come to talk to you when you don’t even give him the chance, by being alone ?? From what you said he seems like an introvert so try this for once and see if he approaches you …. If he still doesn’t, then let it go …..

I started thinking what she said absolutely made sense

*****Next day******

I wanted to pick a cute outfit so I wore a mini sundress

It looked gorgeous on me …. I admired myself in the mirror for a while lol cocky much !!

But hey I have been the one who criticized myself and picked on all my insecurities for a very long time It has only been a year since I started loving myself….

I used to be insecure about my heavy bust, which I thought was too much for my skinny body… I used to get teased and called names in high school for that …..

I used to complain to my mom a lot, like why me???? I hate my body and so on….

My mom always said, “You have to learn to love yourself and all your insecurities… it's your body at the end of the day … god made us all pretty …..one day you will find someone who will love all your insecurities. She teased by pinching my cheek.”

She always reminded me how I used to shove socks into my mum's bra and wear it, dance before my aunts and my mom's friends when I was 6 …..

Mom said teasingly God punished you by giving you real ones once you grew up “

I rolled my eyes and bit her hand playfully….HAHA

Ahh I miss my family **gasp**

I entered the library as I was making my way towards the stairs….I saw him….

He was there….

He saw me too…

He started making his way toward me and I panicked and quickly started climbing the stairs.

He came and saw me going away, so he slowly went back to his seat….

I went upstairs to the library and saw Nathan

.

Went straight to him and told him “ I saw my crush coming towards me and I panicked. I went upstairs.”

I can feel my heart pounding in my chest.

Nathan said,” Eva listen! You have been waiting for this moment for over a month now you don’t even know his name… if you don’t go now you will regret it forever…. So…. go back find an empty table … take a seat … and see if he approaches ….”

I took the courage to go back and sat at an empty table I found and pretended like I was reading a book……

My crush passed by……

Saw me…….

Came back…….

We made eye contact……

He grinned at me. My goodness, how adorable his smile was.

I had never seen him smile before, until that moment.

It genuinely warmed my heart.

” Have we met before”? he asked.
