**Leftover Sausage Ragu with Bistro Salad Mix** \- I got a random call on Wednesday afternoon from an unknown number and usually they’re scam calls so I went to call logs to block it. Then I saw the same number called me the previous night too. Before I can put it in Google just to see who it is, I get a text from the number on WhatsApp asking how I am. I asked who it was, and it responded James from college. MY CRUSH who I never thought really noticed me. My jaw dropped and my heart started pounding! I did an exchange workshop with another college during March and he thought I’d left the college so tracked me down to my best friend and got my number from her. I always thought he was really respectful, kind and helpful (AND HANDSOME 😩) but we barely ever spoke in college just glances here and there so I assumed he had a GF or wasn’t interested. He asked what I was doing later and if he could see me and I said yes. 

He picked me up near an old train station in the evening not too far from our college. While I was in his car we went on a little drive and we laughed and talked so freely; there was just such an undeniable spark between us. We went through the McDonald’s Drive Thru and ate McFlurries in the car park. 

When he drove back to my house we talked a little and he asked if he could hug me before I went in. His arms wrapped around my body so strong and tight and safe and I felt like I was melting! Then before I know our lips are connected and we’re MAKING OUT!!! We were like magnets unable to get off of each other, I had to push him off me after a moment to catch my breath! 

The next day he said it was his pleasure seeing me and that I forgot my lipgloss in his car which I didn’t even realise. After his shift that day, he came straight to mine to return my gloss and we talked more. Then before I left we’re kissing *again*! I’m just very happy and on Cloud 9! 

I MADE OUT WITH MY CRUSH!
