😊THIS IS ALONG STORY!
FEBRUARY 14, 1AM, AND YOU'RE COZIED UP IN BED, SCROLLING THROUGH YOUR PHONE BEFORE SLEEP. SUDDENLY, IT RINGS - IT'S MOHAMMAD, YOUR LONG-TIME CRUSH. YOUR HEART SKIPS A BEAT AS YOU SEE HIS NAME ON THE SCREEN. YOU DIDN'T EXPECT HIM TO CHAT, ESPECIALLY THIS LATE.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, CRUSH 😊," HE SAYS IN A SMOOTH, CONFIDENT VOICE THAT MAKES YOUR HEART FLUTTER. YOU SIT UP STRAIGHT, AND YOUR BRAIN GOES BLANK.
"W-WHAT'S UP?" YOU STAMMER, TRYING TO PLAY IT COOL.
"IVE BEEN WANTING TO TELL YOU THIS FOR A WHILE NOW," HE SAYS, "BUT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW. TONIGHT, I DECIDED TO JUST GO FOR IT. I LIKE YOU, AND I WANT TO SEE WHERE THIS GOES."
YOU'RE TAKEN ABACK, BUT IN A GOOD WAY. LIKE, WHAT EVEN IS THIS? 😯 YOUR CRUSH IS CONFESSING TO YOU OVER THE PHONE AT 1AM ON VALENTINE'S DAY?!
"O-OH, OKAY," YOU MANAGE TO SQUEAK OUT, TRYING TO PROCESS THE SITUATION.
BUT MAD DOESN'T SEEM TO MIND YOUR AWKWARDNESS. HE LAUGHS AND SAYS, "I'M GLAD YOU SAID OKAY. I'VE BEEN CRUSHING ON YOU FOR A WHILE NOW."
YOU TALK FOR HOURS, SHARING STORIES, LAUGHING, AND GETTING RIDICULOUSLY COMFORTABLE WITH EACH OTHER. HE TELLS YOU ABOUT HIS DAY, AND YOU SHARE YOUR SECRETS (OKAY, MAYBE NOT _ALL_ YOUR SECRETS, BUT STILL). THE CONVERSATION FLOWS SO NATURALLY, LIKE YOU'VE KNOWN HIM FOREVER.
AT AROUND 3AM, HE SAYS, "I HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU TOMORROW. JUST WAIT AND SEE 😊."
THE NEXT AFTERNOON, YOU WAKE UP TO A BOUQUET OF YOUR FAVORITE FLOWERS ON YOUR SCHOOL:>
YOUR DAY JUST GOT A MILLION TIMES BETTER. 😂 YOU CAN'T STOP SMILING, AND YOUR FRIENDS ARE ALL LIKE, "WHAT'S GOING ON?!" 🤣
YOU SPEND THE DAY TEXTING MAD, MAKING PLANS FOR YOUR FIRST DATE, AND JUST... BEING HAPPY!😊
