NEVER THOUGHT I'D LET SOMEBODY ELSE IN
Went to the grocery store yesterday (my favorite thing to do) and I see “him”. I swear I don’t think anybody else could be more perfect than him. After 2 ½ years of drooling over this guy, I still get the butterflies in my stomach and I still turn red whenever he smiles at me. But anyways, I pick up a pack of gum and a magazine and I stand in the check out line that he’s working at. As he’s ringing up my things, I’m just mesmerized by his eyes and his smile. I couldn’t keep my eyes off of him. I wanted to put more things on the table so I could stand there longer and maybe have the courage to say something. I get so speechless around him. It’s like I can’t speak even if I wanted to. He said a couple things to me, like he mentioned my brother. Everything he had to say was just so intriguing to me. And that’s funny b/c usually, I could care less what any man has to say. But Alfredo, he’s different. I could sit there forever and listen to him talk about what ever he wanted to talk about. I haven’t felt this way about anyone in such a long time. It’s not one of those love sick feelings. It’s something else. I’m happy whenever I see him or think about him. It has taken me such a long time to say something to him but now, I think I’m going to break out of my shy shell.
