Funfair: A Chance Encounter (Part 3)

Morning.

Tara woke up and went to the bathroom. She did her morning routine and came out.

She grabbed her phone and checked her notifications. Seeing that Damian had messaged her, she opened his DM and read the text:

“Morning, how did you sleep?”

Tara smiled a bit and replied right away:

“Morning, good. How about you?”

After two or three minutes, Damian saw the message and replied:

“Great. By the way, wanna get to know each other a bit better?”

Tara had been waiting for his reply and answered instantly:

“Sure.”

Damian smiled. He was glad because he hadn't expected her to reply like that, especially not right away.

“How old are you?”

“19. You?”

“Nice. I’m 21.”

“Oh, cool. What high school did you go to?”

Tara smiled and typed: “Random, haha.”

Damian laughed at that and replied: “Eh, it’s fine, we’re getting to know each other anyway. I trained to be a car mechanic. You?”

Tara wasn't really surprised because she kind of expected it given his look.

“I studied fashion design.”

Damian had noticed last night that she dressed really well, but he was still a bit surprised—he honestly didn't expect it.

“That totally suits you. Last night in that outfit you looked gorgeous. You dress really well.”

Tara found the message sweet and endearing because she genuinely loves when someone compliments her style.

“Thank you. ☺️”

“No problem, just stating facts.”

Tara kept smiling the whole time.

“I know, but it always makes me super happy when someone compliments that.”

“I know, I get it. Anyway, do you have any plans for today?”

Tara was a little surprised by the question.

“Nope. Why?”

“If you want, we could grab a juice and ice cream downtown?”

“Sure, why not. What time?”

“Does 2 work for you?”

“Works for me.”

“Awesome, alright then, see you later.”

“See you.”

Tara replied, then went to make breakfast.

Around half past one, they both got ready. Then Damian sent Tara a message telling her where they were meeting.

Both of them left their houses and headed out.
