So last we left off, Nathan got my phone number. And then he never called me.
Okay, let me put this into perspective because I tend to be dramatic. Only 4 days had passed. But I was impatient. So one night I went in when I knew he was working and he explained to me that he didn't have a cell phone yet. So he was off the hook. Kinda. Then he asked me to go to the movies that night. I was so excited! A real date! I ran home to change then met him outside the theatre. We were going to see Blades of Glory and I was very excited to see he shared my stupid sense of humor.
As we walked into the theater, he let one small detail slip..
"Oh by the way.. my brother, roommate and cousin are here too.."
So it wasn't a date. At least not a very good one. (His brother, Austin, to this day is very proud that he joined us on our first date). But even so, it was a great night. The movie was hilarious and I liked being around Nathan.When it was time to go, we stood at the escalators and made awkward goodbye talk. Then he reached in for the almost-but-not-quite-one-armed-full-frontal hug. And it was weird. But I was still so ecstatic to be out with a nice boy that I practically skipped back to my dorm room. I called my mom and gushed. I was very happy.
But there was still something eating at me.
Something called "the crazy ex boyfriend."
