We locked eyes in the alternative m*lk aisle.
Beanie, oversized jacket, tattoos, socks & birks.
*sighs dreamily*
I thought about him whilst picking up oats.
I thought about him whilst picking up hummus.
I thought about him whilst picking up sale kombucha.
[Treating myself to sale kombucha makes me happy].
We self-checked-out at the same time.
I could have checked-out next to him, but I was feeling shy.
I walked home smiling.
God he was pretty.
My rational mind: “Girl. Fuck. Get a grip.”
I think it’s nice to have mini romantic daydreams sometimes.
Or am I the epitome of the needy, emotional female stereotype?
Have I been socially conditioned to get attached easily?
All it took was one eye-lock and he was in my thoughts all afternoon.
Maybe iso has got me feeling extra single and lonely.
Rejection from a boy the day prior was fresh in my mind.
Me: “hey do you want to grab another park drink?”
[6 days pass]

Him: “hey, sorry for being shit. I really enjoyed your company, but I’ll have to pass.”
Um…Cool.
I guess it’s a funny story.
I can tell my friends and we can laugh at my expense.
