Today was a Fairytale...

I don't know if it was my time to experience the fairytale I always gushed about while watching Disney movies- I don't know if what happened will last- I don't know a lot of things- but what I do know is that fairytales DO exist and even if they are just for a moment, day, week, or year....they are worth experiencing and worth waiting for.

I was late, SUPER late to work because it had just dumped a bunch of snow on the ground. As I hustled up to the light rail, I noticed that the line was longer than usual. "What is going on?" I asked. Apparently, some runner had run out in front of the last train and the train hit the person so the trains were not picking anyone up. The person was fine thank goodness but we were ALL LATE! I was panicking because I had my end of the year review with my boss and I knew I was going to miss it.

Suddenly, prince charming stepped out from the crowd and said, " I am driving, I can't be late and have 3 seats- who wants to come?" Now normally I would never take a ride with strangers but for some reason my hand shot up in the air like an idiot and without my mind's permission. So me, and this other guy followed Prince Charming to his car.

On the way to his car, Prince Charming and I just hit it OFF! Talking to him was so easy and fun. I felt free and uninhibited talking and laughing with this complete stranger.  The other person in the back seat did not even have a chance to join the conversation because we were just talking talking talking. By the time we got to my work, I had forgotten about every worry and stress that I was carrying and was smiling like a huge dope haha. As he dropped me off I reached into my wallet to pay him for gas but he didn't take it and instead replied with, "I would hate for you to have to wait in the cold again...do you want me to pick you up from work?"

Of course my initial reaction was to jump up and down and squeal like a little girl but I kept my cool for once and replied yes. So, he did pick me up from work that day and we ended up in horrible traffic but its okay because it gave us time to talk and find out that we have similar values, morals, and dreams but are different enough to make a good conversation.

As we neared my car at the light rail station I decided to be brave, "Since you would not let me pay for gas can I at least buy you dinner?" He smiled and said with his big brown eyes, "I will take you up on dinner but I am paying." So we went to dinner and talked for another two hours...

As the night drew to an end, I was about to get in my car and he said one last thing I won't forget, "Hey, I don't know about you but I don't connect with people like this...Ever. I really want to see you again. Can I call you?"

So there is the fairytale- he did call me and we went on a date two nights later and are contemplating on possibly going ice skating in a mountain town this weekend....Like I said, I have no idea where this is going or how long it will last but I got to experience a piece of a fairy tale. Every girl will get her fairy tale- even if it is for a brief second.

Enjoy them as they come and don't expect too much out of them- and don't expect them to come on your time because they won't. Fairy tales have a mind of their own...Let them come.
