You Had Me At Hello

Short Stories - Hope

"Hello!".

Oh my gawd!

I can't believe it.

Did you just talk to me?

One word..five letters.. two syllables..

Could you say it again while i record it?

Haha.. nevermind.. you might think i'm a nutcase.

This is like my best dream come true.. I didn't even know one word could make my day.. no.. make that a week.
I can't even take the silly, dreamy grin off my face yet.

We are so improving..

Waaaaiiittt!! time-out!

Did i just say "WE"?? Silly me, i'm getting ahead of myself, we're not even really friends yet..
but a girl can hope.

Yes.. i have hopes for us. I've been wishing that we'd be friends and i've been dreaming we'd be so much more.

*sigh*

I am so pathetic.

Why am i pining for a guy who doesn't see me at all..
Who only noticed i existed on earth because of a winning home run that i did on a softball game?
i can't even answer that question.
Oh well, i'm not gonna bitch about it.. at least you now know that i'm actually living on the same island as you are.

Hmmm... why do i even like you? I don't have an appreciation for popular guys who have super good looks...
but you're different... it's probably the dimpled smile or the great body...

For heaven's sake girl.. Denial is not a river in Egypt.

Fine. I'm gonna be totally honest.

I like you because you are nice and you always help your buddies and everyone who asks for it..
You laugh at not-so-funny jokes... you accompany your little sister to school...
and you're not even cocky for a jock..
and the real kicker is you're smart... you actually have a brain behind that gorgeous face...
and all that good genes you possess is a bonus... A super good bonus.

*smile*

I wonder what our kids will look like? We'd have good looking kids for sure.

*Shit*

Did i just say "OUR KIDS"??!!
That's it.. I'm gonna stop this conversation with myself right now...
This daydreaming business about you is getting out of hand for pete's sake.

*Wait... wait..*

Before i go back to reality... I'm gonna cross my fingers and wish that someday our paths will meet and all my dreams and hopes about you and us will come true...
then when that happens, i can tell you that cheesy line from the movie Jerry Maguire.. "You had me at hello".
