The Next Day
I got up and immediately dropped to my knees to thank Jesus for giving me another day. I got up and went to my desk to do some quiet time. After reading my Bible and praying in my prayer journal I got out my phone and went on the Bible app to listen to a plan.
"Goodmorning," Kate said wiping her eyes.
"I'm sorry did I wake you?" I asked afraid I was being too loud.
"No no you didn't it's fine. I normally wake up around this time to go for a run. What were you doing anyway? Schoolwork?"
"Oh no, I like to give God the first few minutes of my day and make it my best."
"You seem very religious."
"I am. The God I serve saved my life. The least I can do is thank him."
"Wow, you sound a little bit like my dad. I mean I don't think he's religious as you are but you guys seem to have the same what's the word...motive?"
"Good to know."
"Well, I'm gonna head out for half an hour make yourself at home." She said while going through the door.
In that moment I said a quick prayer for her safety.
Getting back to my plan I pressed play on the screen and went in the restroom. By the time I got out I was done with all my online plans and my hair was done. I put my phone down. And went into the closet. I had class in two hours but I wanted to take a tour of the campus. I pulled out a white maxi dress with puffed sleeves and pulled out brown closed-toe wedge heels and a brown purse. I left my hair out and took my watch off my desk. I was ready in 10 minutes I got my school supplies, left as not for Kate, and made my way out the door.
Walking around the campus I took in the fresh air and twirled around a little bit. If you were close to me you'd know I'm a child at heart. Talking about children I did my homework and found an orphan center not too far from here. I love children. I adored them and it always broke my heart to hear sad stories. I'd make time for them today. I took a moment to drop them down in my schedule. I turned around to make body contact with a wall...well at least he felt like a wall. I took a step back and looked at the man standing in front of me.
"I'm so sorry I got distracted and wasn't watching where I was going. Did I hurt you?" I asked nervously.
The man I was looking at looks to be a little bit over 6 feet and with dark brown hair and hazel eyes. He was wearing a plain white shirt and blue jeans with black boots. One of his arms seems to have a couple of tattoos on it. In my make-believe world, he would be far from my type but I live in reality and not everyone was perfect, not even me. I like to look at people as God's work in progress. So... I didn't have a type for all I knew God was the author of everything in my life including my love story. Who was I to tell him no?
"I think I should be asking you that question. Are you okay? Did I hurt you?" Hs asked slightly chuckling.
"Uhh no haha, I'm fine. I'm sorry I'm just trying to learn more about this place."
"No it's okay I'm guessing you're either new or not from around here."
"Both actually. I'm Rachel." I said holding out my hand.
"I'm Matt short Matthew nice to meet you, Rachel," he said while taking my hand in his.
"The same for you Matthew." I checked my watch and said, "I have to go but have a good day!" I said while walking away.
"It's Matt and you too." He yelled after me.
I have another wave and made my way to my first class.
-------------------------------------------------------What do you think of Matt so far? Do you like Rachel? I'll see y'all next week....or tomorrow. Who knows ð¤·ð½ââï¸?
