Colton’s pov

Man today was a long day. There were three fires we had to take care of and they weren’t easy we had a lot of people we had to evacuate then get the fires under control. Luckily no one was hurt in any of them, so I call that a good day. All I wanted to do was go home and crash, but it was my 21st birthday so my buddies were picking me up to go out and celebrate.

I didn’t mind going out with my buddies so much it’s just the club the always want to go to. It was the same old type of women there that I was sick of being around. They were just looking to have fun not settle down and find love like I was. I was over the club scene. I was lonely, but I was not going to take some random girl home for a night. That just wasn’t who I am.

I would rather be home and chat with my online mystery girl. She was so sweet, and we have really hit it off. We have been talking for a month now. I still don’t know what she looks like. She doesn’t even know what I look like because she’s not ready to trade pics yet. I wish she would get past that, so I could meet her in person.

I hurried into the shower then got dressed since my buddies will be here any minute now. I sent my girl a text letting her know I was being dragged out by my buddies tonight, so she wouldn’t be upset if I didn’t respond back to her right away. I didn’t want to lose her before I truly got her. I even let her know where we were going just in case she wanted to drop by. I really hoped she would.

My buddies sent me a text telling me to just take a cab since most of them were already at the club saving us a table and had already started to drink. This was not going to be a fun night. I was never really into going out and acting crazy. I was only going to have a beer or two then go home. I just wasn’t in the mood to be out tonight.

I got to the club found my buddies and sat down. I ordered a beer and they ordered shots and other things. I didn’t care what they said I was not joining in. Tonight, was my birthday not another excuse for them to get drunk and stupid.

My phone went off, so I hurried to look at it. It was a text from my girl wishing me a happy birthday and telling me to have a good night. Getting that text made my night. She was unlike any other girl I have ever met. I decided to be brave and send her a picture of me in hopes that I would get one back.

I mean what was she waiting for? Was she afraid I wouldn’t like her? I already had feelings for her. I sent the pic eagerly awaiting her reply. I waited and got nothing. I ordered a shot feeling upset that she didn’t say anything about my pic. Did I scare her off?

My buddies were out on the dance floor dancing, but I just wasn’t into it. I looked over to the table next to me and saw a beautiful woman sitting alone. She wasn’t my normal type, but still beautiful. She looked over at me and smiled so I smiled back. Man, she had some amazing eyes. I decided to go over and talk to her.

“Hi, I’m Colton sorry to bother you just saw you sitting alone and wanted to say hi so yea um hi.”

I didn’t know why, but she made me all tongue tied. She kept smiling at me. I was never really confident around women. I have always been the shy quiet guy. I used to be skinny and nerdy until I bulked up. Now I guess I’m what women would call sexy. At least that’s what I’ve heard. This woman was making me feel like that nerdy kid all over again.

“Um hi I think your friends are looking for you.”

I looked back to see my buddies trying to get my attention. I looked back at the beautiful girl smiled and walked back to them. Once I was seated I looked back and she was gone. I wondered where she went. Did I just imagine her? Maybe I was exhausted and just dreamed the whole thing up in my head. Maybe I needed to go home and get some sleep.

I heard my phone go off, so I looked at it. It was a picture message from Joslyn. I looked at it and was in shock. The beautiful girl from the club was Joslyn. Why didn’t she tell me who she was? All I knew was that I wanted her. I only hope she wanted me too.

Joslyn’s pov

I loved going to school knowing soon I would be able to help others. Watching my sister die a slow death with cancer made me realize what I wanted to do. If I can help one person that I kept my promise to her. She was my whole world growing up being my protector and big sister. I know she would be proud of me now. It’s hard knowing she won’t be there to see me achieve my dreams. I was all alone in this world.

At 19 I have never had a boyfriend. Never been kissed let alone anything else. I’m sure guys find me attractive, but I never go for anyone. I never stick myself out there. I believed all my bullies that call me a fat, ugly, worthless nothing. When your told that every day it kind of sinks in. So, I just stay alone. I have a few friends, but not many.

I wish I could meet someone that would love me for me. I just don’t think guys like that exist. I have guys want me for sex. They thought just because I was a big girl that I was so desperate I would jump in their bed. I was not a hoe, so I would not give up my v card to just anyone. I wanted it to be with someone I loved. I doubt that will ever happen, but a girl can dream can’t she.

So, I joined a dating sight but didn’t put up any pictures. I wanted a guy to love me for who I am and not what’s on the outside. So, a month ago I started to talk to this guy that just called himself C. I thought it was weird at first but after talking to him and seeing how sweet he was it no longer bothered me.

He made me feel wanted and beautiful. I was scared all that would go away once we met in person. I guess that’s why I have held off on sending a pic or meeting in person. I know I am starting to develop feelings for him, so I can’t hold off any longer because if he doesn’t want me it’ll crush me.

Today is his birthday and he’s going out to some club with his buddies. That worried me that I would end up losing him. He told me where he would be at, so I decided to dress in the sexiest outfit I had and go with one of my best friends. I didn’t know what he looked like, but I would figure all that out once I got there.

Once I got to the club I sat down by a table full of guys. They were all pretty loud and rude. I really hope that C wasn’t one of those jerks. If he was I was done with him. Another guy showed up and I couldn’t stop looking at him. He wasn’t like the others. His smile stopped me dead in my tracks and made me feel things I’ve never felt before.

My phone went off with a message from C. It was a picture and the name Colton. I about dropped my phone when I looked at the picture. The super sexy guy at the table next to mine was my C. I loved his name it fit who he was perfectly. There was no way that I could send him my pic yet not while he was with all those guys.

His buddies all got up from the table to go hound some women on the dance floor. Colton sat at the table all alone looking at his phone. He looked up then over at me, so I smiled. He smiled back then got up and walked over to me. I was so nervous. This man made me feel things I have never felt before.

He said hi and I didn’t know what to do. So, I looked up at him planning on saying something sexy but all I said was his buddies were looking for him. He looked back at them then back at me. It looked like he didn’t want to go but he started walking off. Once he did I hurried into the crowd to grab my friend and leave.

Once I was safely in my car I took a pic and sent it to Colton. I was feeling brave and I really wanted him to want me. He was everything any woman could want in a man. I don’t get why he’s even on the dating site. I mean he is one of the sweetest guys and his smile just melted me.

I was scared that he wouldn’t want me now that he has met me, but I was wrong. He messaged me telling me that my eyes had hypnotized him and wondering where I had gone because he looked all over the club for me but couldn’t find me. When I told him, I headed home because I had an early morning he said he was leaving as well since the girl he wanted was no longer there.

I couldn’t believe this was real Colton wanted me. Once I got home I changed into my pj’s and took all my make-up off then laid in bed texting him. He was so sweet and funny. We texted late into the night until we both fell asleep.
