As we were hanging out, we spotted a cute guy sitting on the opposite side of the bar.
Sage: Oooh girl, you should go chat with him. He's totally adorable, and I think he's your type.
Sunnie: You sure? I mean he's cute, but I don't think I'm his type.
Rosemary: Oh come on. You're cute, he's cute. You're a match made in Heaven! Go introduce yourself!
Sunnie: Alright, alright, I'll go.
I casually stroll over to his side of the bar and sit next to him.
Sunnie: Hi! You looked lonely so I decided to come over and give you some company. I'm Sunnie, by the way.
???: Oh, hey there. My name is Cranberry. I appreciate the company. Nice to meet you, Sunnie.
Sunnie: So, what are you doing here alone?
Cranberry: Just hanging out. I'm new in town, so I'd figured it would be a good way to meet new people. I'd say it's working so far. *winks*
Sunnie: Welcome to NewCrust! I'm sure you'll learn to like it here, once you get used to the small-town vibe.
Cranberry: Thanks....Say, would you be interested in going out some time? You know, show me around?
Sunnie: Sure, I'd love to.
We sat and talked for a while, just getting to know each other, you know, small talk. The girls had motioned to me that they were heading out, so I nodded and mouthed I'll tell you about it later.
Before we said our goodbyes, Cranberry and I made plans to meet up tomorrow night, at a new nightclub that opened.

The next evening...
We meet up at the Club, and surprisingly inside it looks more like a normal bar than a club.
Cranberry: Glad you came. This place is pretty nice huh?
Sunnie: Yeah, it is. Not as crazy as I expected it to be.
The music started to get louder, so we decided to go outside to hang out at their outdoors area. It was really quiet out there. I nice change from inside.
We sit and chat some more. When I look over at him, I can't help but feel a spark of attraction. He is so cute, there's no way he is interested in me. But the way he's looking back at me tells me that my assumption is wrong. He most certainly is interested. I can see it in his eyes.
I get up to "stretch my legs," and he gets up as well. He turns to me, and gently pulls me towards him. His lips touch mine, and I feel like my legs turned to jello. This can't be real, it's too good to be true. I instinctively wrap my arms around him, enjoying the moment. We pull away after what seems like half an hour.
Cranberry: I really had fun tonight, just being with you. Do you want to do this again sometime?
Sunnie: Yes, I'd like that.
He escorts me home, and gives me one last kiss on the cheek.
Cranberry: Have a good night...Sunnie.
Sunnie: Thanks, you too. See you soon.
Cranberry: You bet.
I went inside and sat on the couch to watch some television before going to bed. I can't stop thinking about him. Why is he so into me? What's the catch? I can't wait to see him again, hopefully sometime soon.
The next day, tragedy struck. Grandma Ginger passed away. As you can imagine, the whole family is devastated. Dad was at work, so we called him to give him the news. The next few days were miserable for us as we were adjusting to life without her.
I have been talking to Cranberry over the phone regularly. He invited me out to lunch, so I could get out of the house for a while.
Cranberry: I'm sorry for your loss; your grandmother sounds like she was an amazing person. I feel for you. I lost my parents a few years ago in a car accident. I know how hard it is to lose those you love.
Sunnie: Thanks, I appreciate you saying that.
Cranberry: Hey, cheer up. She wouldn't want you to be sad. Your beautiful face looks so much better when your smiling. *smiles*
Sunnie: You're right. *smiles*
Cranberry: Much better. I know this seems a little fast, but do you want to go back to my place?Maybe getting away from your house will do you some good.
Sunnie: Yeah, sure, let's go!
We get to his apartment, and it's beautiful. How can someone his age afford something this nice without assistance?
We go into his room and sit on the edge of the bed.
Cranberry: Well, this is my room, nothing much but it's home.
Sunnie: This place is really nice, how can you afford this?
Cranberry: I have a couple roommates. They're out of town right now.
Sunnie: Oh, I see.
We talk as usual, and then something comes over me. I throw myself at him without thinking, and we start to kiss.
Then the kiss leads to woohoo. Not the smartest idea since I haven't know him for very long, even though it felt like I have. The woohoo was great. It felt so natural being with him.
Later that day, I returned home so everyone else wouldn't be worried about me. How'd I get so lucky to find a guy as great as him?
