A thursday.

"Turn left, there are tables only on the left side, that's where we are", she said happily. Walking in, I wasn't sure whether to smile or not. I feel shy every time I am around people I don't know. And there was I, sitting at a table of 10 people, knowing only three of them. I realised I was the stranger in there. Weird looks, some smiles, comments about my weird leggings, and him. His eyes met mine and I felt a lightning hit me. There was he, at last.

She looked at him, then looked at me and smiled. I already know everything there is to know about him, but small talk is always nice. So "what do you study?"

I knew what he is studying. I knew where he's from, when his birthday is, the name of his ex, how many siblings he has, where he's going for christmas holidays (and why) and what sport he used to play at school. She already told me all these things, she takes her matchmaker role pretty seriously, no? Our eyes met again, boom!

So, it was his turn.

"You should really try this chicken... go ahead, eat some."

"Oh, that's okay, I don't really want to, thanks...."

"Are you a vegetarian?" Tricky first question. Back it up, annamaria, maybe he knows all there is to know for you, too. But does he know too much?? That freaking chicken was in front of me and he insists again I should try it. Fuck my life. I say no again, looking to change the subject. Luckily the other nerd-looking guys started talking to me so he just stopped insisting and kept looking at me with these blue eyes..

And I kept drinking white wine. She got drunk pretty quickly. Two girls laughing and giggling, and seven guys who had no idea. Drinking wine until 3 in the morning. I didn't mind my early pilates class when he was looking at me. For two seconds, all I could hear was "I know you know I like you and you're looking me back. finally we've met". That's all his eyes were telling me.

And yes, finally we've met. But this is not enough. It's just not.

my weird leggings. I'm not her, but I have the same

hair, shirt and leggings. all I'm missing is the guy and the white bed sheets.
