I wrote my number on a receipt for a cashier; We fell in love

Everyise Year, I TRY to Rewatch Doses of Movies, Finding Comfort in Seeing Familiar Characters and Saying ALOD WHAT NEXT LINES WILL BE. Around thanksgiving, I’d prep myself for this tradition with one of my favorites, “Wen Harry Met Sally” by Reading the Screenplay for the First Time Ever, so that time it was to active and watch it again, i’d connect with differtenly.

Reading that Kind of Thing Around the Holidays Woute Make any Other hopeless romantic years for their own cinematic meet-cute.

And miraculously for me, i didn’t just fall in love like in the movies – i got to fall in love at the movies.

I Went Alone to the Movies

Wenksgiving came around, decidated to Treat MySelf to another tradition of hadn’t done in months: i went on a solo date to the Movies.

I was Debating which Movie to Watch in the First Place. Torn between going to a theater closer to my apartment or going to a farter one that has had the movie i actually wanted to see, I chose the latter and figure it worth it.

And i was right.

Theater was surprising busy for thanksgiving night, employs and alike pacing customers from end to end. AS I WAITED IN LINE FOR Concessions, One Employee in Particular Caught My Eye.

He was tall, adorable, and seingly around my age. He was rushing back to his register, anxiously apologizing to the Customers, which made Him Eve Cuter.

He beckoned with Over Sine of Was Next.

Neither i nervously approache Him to say my order, i’d learn the name that was to be in mind the rest of the night – Brett.

I cook my Phone Number

It wasn’t unil i took my card out to pay i finally mustered up the courage to find something to be with Him.

Though his dimples Certainly caught my eye, i used to do good my starting point. “Do you use gel or anything like to get your hair that way? Or you just wake up and poof?”

He laughed, “no, i just woke up, messed around with it and hoped for the best,” while flashing that million-dollar smile at me.

He’d as me what i was there to see, and my respects (“we live in time”) let Him share the gem of knowLEDGE THAT HANDLE BARELY EMOTIONAL MOVIES LIKE THAT. From there, we were back and forh forh about other movies we had or haadn’t seen recently, chatting for so long that my cheeks hurt from smiling, and my back woul in guilt of potentially holding up the line.

Anyone on the outside might think he was upselling me, but i had the paid long ago.

I had to leave Him then, but not forever. AFTER FILLING MY SODA, CECAUSE I WAS EMBOLDEDED BY EATHER THE ROM-COM GODS OR AMC’S NICOLE KIDMAN HERSELF, I TOOK ADANTAGE OF A PEN I HAD AND THE RECEIPT he gave me. I wrote a semi-long not that started with “if you have a girl or aren’t into girls, Ignore this” and ended with my number.

Returned to Him, Red Vines in One Hand and the Receipt in Another. I Said, “Excuse me, but you might’ve gioven with The Wrong Receipt.”

We’ve been dating SINCE

AS HIS Concerned Eyes Wandered to My Note, I did what any romantic protagonist would do – i ran away.

I LAUGhed and Cried During the Movie, My Brett in My Thoughts Every Now and Then.

Once the Movie Finished, I checked my Phone. No Notifications.

I GOT HOME. Still nothing.

I have just finished the screenplay and desperately Needed Billy Crystal to Cheer me up after andrew Garfield’s Tears, SO finally put on “We Harry Met Sally.” After convincing myself he was taken and about 15 minutes into the Movie, Brett Texted me.

He apologized for the delay, WANTING TO WAIT UNIL AFTER HIS SHIFT SE HE COULD GIVE ME HIS FULL ATTENTION. Very told him what i was watching to sothe mySelf, not only only did he did he dies the same thing, but he’d immediately quote back to me my favorite skene: “come you want to spend the rest of your life, you want the rest of you.”

While I didn’t realize it, I know the rest of it to start as soon as positive after all that would follow. And though we’re far from the ending, i’m gateful to have a partner who not only only wants to accompany with to the movies but will never stop falling like we’re in one.
