So today at work when I saw jared, I did the whole "oh hey how was your party? Sorry I couldn't make it!"
He just smirked and replied "Yeah, I saw you parked outside my place and then take off!" Much bumbling on my part as I pretty much paniced, because this was not an outcome I expected. He said it was a good party, like 25 people showed up or so. (but not until 1!)
He left, and I spent the rest of the afternoon kicking myself. When he came back later for his shift, though, I actually got up some courage, and I told him the reason I bolted was I was too nervous to leave my car. He said he wished I had come up, and told me there would be more parties. He said he didn't want me to feel bad! And I told him it wasn't anything he did, I was just usually nervous around him and never know what to say. He blushed a little and said he'd take it as a compliment, but left it at that.
I finally told him I get nervous around him, and my face didn't fall off. He didn't react badly. He bearly reacted at all. At any rate, nothing bad happened.
We'll see what happens if I ever end up telling him I like him, though :P Although I'd be surprised if he didn't know now.
