Day 6. We hung out in a group. It was awkward.
Day 7. He was busy.
Day 8. The time apart made us unsure of the others feelings. We had really only hung out once because we kept missing each other. By the time he walked me home that night, the build up and expectation to kiss was so high that neither of knew what to do. The night ended with a kiss on the cheek, an awkward shuffle, a prolonged hug, an awkward shuffle, another kiss on the cheek, and then a one-sided prolonged hug where he let go and I was still holding on. I blushed, apologized and promptly said goodnight.
Day 9. He called by mistake.
-I called him back.
-He called me back.
-His work was cancelled because of the weather and I asked him to hang out.
-He said he could hang out later that night.
-Later that night he called.
-He didn’t have work the next day but could only hang out for a bit because he was tired.
-I said we didn’t need to hang out and he said okay.
