You guys!!!Guess what?He rang!!!He actually rang!!Hold on Rewind a little bit I was reading all your commentsAnd most of them were saying how I should text him backBe casual but confidentAnd be a strong independent womanBite the bulletPut myself out there I had decided not to text him until I got back from my trip on Wednesday My family and I are taking my nephew away for a couple of days for his fifteenth birthdayAnd I was glad of the distractionBut then earlier onI just all of a sudden found some courage and sent him the following text
Hey, just wondering if you still want to meet up, I'm away until Wednesday but can meet up after that if you're still up for it?
I sent it And threw the phone awayI honestly wasn't expecting an answer I was doing it more just so I could say that I tried And would then be able to let it goI went to make a cup of tea And when I picked my phone up againThere was a missed call from an unknown numberI started wondering who it wasAnd thenA couple of minutes laterMy phone rang againAnd it was him!
I took a deep breath and tried to remain calmI answered after a few rings
Hello
Hello is that Ruby
Yes this is her
Oh hey this is The PlumberCan you talk?
Yea sure I can talkI'm just packing here as we are heading away tomorrow
I'm sorry I didn't get back to you the other nightI wasn't too gone on the whole cafe ideaYou sure you wouldn't like to go to the cinema?
Oh yea I would like to go if you'd still like to. Is there anything you'd like to see ?
Sure we'll have a look during the week
Ok well why don't you give me a ring Wednesday or Thursday and we'll go from there
Ok sound I'll speak to you then
See you later
Bye
Thankfully it wasn't as awkward as I thought it would beI was actually calmAnd he seemed kind but confident Yikes I can believe it actually happenedI had seriously written this one off!So now I have a couple of days to psych myself upChoose an outfitMake myself as pretty and presentable as possibleBut you know what?I'm not going to take this too seriouslyI'm going to have funAnd enjoy itAnd not read too much in to it what ever happens happensAnd I can chalk it up to experience
AgainThank you for all your valuable supportIt was really down to you guys that I mustered the courage to text himIt never ceases to amaze meThe amazing live and support that is here in our little corner of blogger
I'm away tomorrow for a couple of days And probably my won't get to blogAs well be in Northern IrelandBut I promise to update as soon as I can Until then....
