Part 6 - Dreams come true

I was so happy my dream was coming true. To finally find a man that has taken a liking to me. I couldn't sit still where ever I went. The day went by slowly. It was ... Saturday? Yeah. I only had work on Monday. Tomorrow I got to go for lunch with Toby. I smiled and put my hands in my face. I have a date with a person. I've never had that before. I decided to go lay down in my bed with my laptop.
After about three hours of searching and playing Minecraft, I decided to put my close my laptop and put it on the ground.
I walked into the kitchen. Jamie was at work. I was alone. I decided to call Ryan to see if he was doing anything. I slipped my phone out of my pocket and realized he was at work. I decided to go to Facebook on Jamie's computer in the kitchen. I searched for "Toby Turner".
Toby Turner, University of Florida
I clicked on it. Over 4000 friends? That's crazy. I tried adding him as a friend. A pop bubble came up.
This user has too many friend requests. Okay, that's fucking crazy. 
I closed the browser and the computer and went to take a nap.
"..Ellie... Ellie!" I heard.
"Wha- What?!" I woke up and leaned up quickly.
"I brought home some pizza from work, today." It was Jamie.
"Oh thanks!" I got out of bed, realizing I was in my pajamas all day.
I walked to the kitchen and saw Chris standing there noming on pizza.
"Hey Chris." He looked at my penguin pajamas.
Chris laughed. "You going to Arctic or somethin'?" He laughed with pizza in his mouth.
"Bad joke is bad." I walked toward to pizza and grabbed it. I ate it and decided to go to bed, setting my alarm for nine in the morning.
I wonder if I'll ever get to actually date Toby. He tells me he wants me, but is that really the truth?
My mind wouldn't shut up. Eventually, I fell asleep. When I woke up I ran to the bathroom and started the shower.
"I'm getting fucking lunch with Toby. I''m getting fucking lunch with Toby. I'm getting fucking lunch with Toby." My mind kept repeating.
I had a shower then tossed on the nicest clothes I could find. Black/grey striped shirt, skinny jeans and black/purple striped gloves. I did my hair so it was perfect and put on a nice beret-sort-of hat. I have short hair, it's black and a bit long in the front.
I take long showers, so by the time I was finished everything it was eleven.
"Toby's picking me up in forty-five minutes." I thought. I got very excited.
I decided not to eat breakfast, I wasn't hungry anyways. Jamie was still asleep. Today was her day off. I tried not to sprint as fast as I could and walked impatiently to the bathroom. I put thick eyeliner on and tinted my cheeks so you couldn't see the ugly markings on my face.
I spent the rest of my time checking my email and Facebook. I looked at the clock and noticed it was 11:30. Subway is all the way across town. I grabbed my purse and rushed out the door.
I made my way to the car and began to drive. I drove and saw my normal neighborhood. Mrs. Williams watering her garden, Jennifer playing hop scotch. Children are adorable.
At perfect timing, I got to Subway at 11:46. I saw Toby outside talking to someone. I slowly found a parking spot and got out of the car.
My attention span took it's own route to Toby and I walked over there while he talked to someone. I couldn't see them.
 "Badadodododo subscribe! Boop!" I tapped him on the shoulder. Toby looked at me. "Ellie!" He said as he put his phone away and hugged me.
I laughed. "Toby!" I acted enthusiastic.
Awkward pause. "Nuggets." He complained.
I laughed. "What is it?"
He silenced. "..You just look so beautiful."
I smiled at him. "You're not too bad, yourself. C'mon, lets go inside."
Toby led me inside. "You gonna go in line?" I asked. "It's not too busy." I smiled at him.
Toby didn't reply. "Toby?" I asked again. He was staring at me. "Hello?"
He realized what he was doing. "Oh my god, sorry, sorry."
I laughed. "It's fine. But, what were you staring at?"
"Your smile." He smiled at me with his shiny teeth. I think I might be falling in love.
