Meetcute in the petshop.
I was in a petshop and one of the sales assistants was being too loud. I said, excuse me is it possible to talk a bit quieter I have ADHD and it's hard to concentrate. He was virtually yelling.It's normally chill in there so I was surprised. The person behind me offered for me to go ahead in the queue which surprised me as people in the big city are normally pretty rude.
She the rushed towards me outside the store and I said excuse me ! I think I have ADHD too. Do you mind if I talk to you ? Realising the very real challenges of being neurospicy and rainbow in a neurotypical world I said sure, no problem . We were both heading to the amazing fruit/veg/grocery shop so we chatted there before the staff asked if I could move my bag off the mangoes. Oops my bad. I said I'm going in, are you going in? We might as well talk and shop. So we got our items and went to check out . At the check out she was cracking jokes with the cashier and said to them we had our first date at the petshop, now we are here on our second date. The staff smiled sweetly. They really are so lovely there (lovely is love , it contains the word love itself !)
We left and I said which way are you going and I walked her to her corner where we chatted for a bit and I said if you'd like to stay in touch we can exchange numbers. No problem if you don't want to . I'd like to! She exclaimed excitedly and we swapped numbers. She headed off up the street , me along the busy road to the station with a smile on my face. I sent a text as I travelled home saying it was nice to meet you. We messaged for a bit. There was no tenseness, just a natural flow of conversation and understanding. She started telling me about her self and her skills (!) which was interesting. She asks me to send her some information about ADHD so I did with a warning it may come on blast!
Some time later I asked her if she'd like to go for wa walk around the harbour, if that's something that interests you? She said! Yes! It does but I'm back at work so in a couple of weeks. We met for our walk and talk around the harbour both patting dogs as we went. The sun setting slowly, the water glistening like diamonds and the air fresh, crisp and clean. The water lapped gently around the boats we passed. We talked and talked as we walked.Spontaneously she took her shoes off and said I'm brave if you are ? And we put our feet in at the little tiny beach. She picked up some seaweed and said do you like sushi . Lol. We sat on the waterfront with the water kissing our feet watching the sun set sweetly a myriad of colours. Peace, comfortablity and ease, that is love.
