Trust by Alexeo part 1/2
@AlexeO
Part 1
I remember the day I received a friend request from a guy I didn't exactly know, but we did have a load of friends in common. So I accepted it on that basis, what I never expected was to experience what unfolded from that simple press of a button on a screen.
Innocence was a key factor at the start as we went from liking each other’s posts, to commenting to then private messages.
It was during these messages that he began to show a cheeky side to himself.
Where I can't deny, I really began to find myself looking forward to hearing from him.
He had wit, charm, charisma, and an air of confidence the likes of which I've never experienced before. In truth I actually found it refreshing.
His approach was clear, and he has this knack of being able to make you feel important. His interest in me seemed genuine and he even remembered the little things I told him. It was not long before he had my interest peaked, and we arranged a few very successful dates. Where we found ourselves discovering more about each other than just things in common.
As things progressed, I felt as though, I was beginning to develop feelings for him. This was because he was now consuming my daily thoughts, and I wondered if he may of felt the same way or was this just me?.
There was an issue with distance for us kind of like a North/ South divide and although this did reduce our ability to catch up. I could not imagine it becoming an issue.
So, one evening I decided to text him and asked if he would be free to talk.
He replied asking "what about".
So I told him "I'd just like to talk, nothing serious I'm just interested to know where things are going with us".
He had seen the message straight away but I had no reply for 2 days. I began to worry that I had scared him off when, on Thursday morning he finally responded.
"Hi, I'm sorry I haven't responded until now, when you told me what you'd like to talk about. I thought I'd arrange something for us so we can talk properly. Are you free this weekend from Friday to Saturday?
Curiously I replied “yes I have a few things to do in the morning and work, but I have no other plans why ?”.
I got his reply 30 minutes later.
Excellent!!
I've booked a restaurant and a hotel. I'd like to give this conversation the respect it deserves and do this face to face."
Ok...so that caught me off guard, he never said he felt the same, but sometimes you don't need too. This was a positive feeling and I couldn't get the smile off my face. So many thoughts were running through my mind, Intrigue, excitement, anticipation.
Definitely no sleep tonight with the main thought of his pending arrival. He was good at creating mystery and I couldn't wait to see him again.
The following day whilst at work my mind was spinning and the clock was going slow. When my phone indicated I had received a message.
It was from Alex
He had contacted me to say he was on his way early in the morning and that he was going to go to the hotel first to freshen up, and although time would be tight, everything should run smoothly.
I liked his outlook on life and how he would just drift through like nothing would ever go wrong.
After a long slow day, I was making my way home and planning on getting changed, having a shower etc. Ready to begin my journey towards the hotel.
He messaged me again to see if it was possible if I could I be ready to leave my house for 19:15 as the restaurant was 15 minutes away and we were booked in for 20:00. Then that it would leave enough time to drop off an overnight bag .
I couldn't help but smile at his efforts, it was kind of sweet I guess.
Just then there was a knock at the door, I looked at the time on my phone and it was 19:15 ugh bloody typical I thought as I had just finished getting ready and was about to leave. I walked down the stairs and could just make out a professionally dressed figure through the glass of the front door window. I opened the door and before me stood a gentleman who said.
"Hi, are you, Miss ......?"
A little surprised and raising my eyebrow presenting him with a look of confusion on my face as I looked beyond his presence.
I answered in return to his question "yes can I help you ?”
"Hi, I'm Steven, it’s nothing to concern yourself about. I'm a taxi driver I have been sent to collect you by Alex and take you to a selected destination. Please let me know when you're ready it's all pre-paid. He has requested that you sit in the back seat for the journey if that's ok."
I laughed a little and said “ok I’m ready just let me grab my bag and we can go".
“Ok I shall wait for you at the car"
“Ok thanks"
The driver opened the rear door for me, and as I got into the taxi.
I looked down to my right-hand side and noticed a card underneath a single rainbow rose. I opened it and it read, “I hope you don't mind that I ordered you this taxi. I can't wait for it to return you to me. My left-hand side was beginning to feel...
