The girl from the gas station

I was about 18 years old at the time, working for Pizza Hut as a delivery driver. During my normal duties as a delivery driver, I always stopped at the same gas station to refill my tank and grab a pack of cigarettes. Not only was it the most convenient gas station to my store, but I was infatuated with the girl that worked there. Every time I’d go in I’d smile at her and she’d say “hey hun.” She’d ask me how my night was going, and just normal small talk. I was kind of shy and never wanted to just directly flirt with her, just in case I was misinterpreting the situation.

This same back and forth went on for a couple of weeks. One night, after buying my cigarettes, I was headed back to my car and some guy came running out of the store, “excuse me sir!” He yelled, as he tried to get my attention. He caught up to me as I got to my car and handed me a folded piece of paper and said, “the girl at the counter asked me to give this to you.” I smiled and said thanks. I opened it up and it read: “call me,” followed by her number. I was shocked, I hadn’t even asked for it. I was also relieved to know that we had the same feelings.
