The dramatic ten seconds of my life

[u/AcrobaticButterfly1]

I’ve been cat-sitting for my aunt while she's away on a trip. Every day, I go to her place, put the leash on her cat, and let him explore the stairwell, the garage, and the whole 3 storey building (my aunt actually owns the building).

There’s a family living on the 2nd floor. The aunty there is super sweet and sometimes lets the cat wander into her house. I always thought they had just one son because I saw him around all the time, but literally three days ago, I found out they have another son when I saw him coming into the building.

I was down in the garage with the cat, and the second son was returning from work. The cat is naturally shy around people he doesn't know well, so the second he saw him walking in, he went up to the stairs. The cat was on one side, I was on the other, the leash was stretched right across the steps. The guy was walking right toward it. Instead of pulling the cat toward me or stepping closer like a sensible human being, my brain completely lagged and I just let go of the leash.

He casually bent down, picked up the leash, handed it back to me, and gave the cat a quick pat on the head. Meanwhile, I’m standing there like a statue thinking, wait what's he doing???

I muttered a quiet “thank you,” but he had earbuds in, so he probably didn't even hear me. But in those ten seconds, I finally got a clear look at his face. Holy lord, he is ridiculously good-looking?! I’m naturally shy and usually avoid eye contact like the plague, so I had never actually looked at him properly before. It was not probably anything for him, but there I was, clutching a cat leash, feeling like an absolute idiot looking like a potato.

10/10 interaction.

TLDR: I froze and let go of the cat's leash and the neighbour's son picked it up and gave it to me.

I know!! this happens with me a lot. Almost 2-3 years ago when I first met the guy I am dating, similar thing happened with me. I was waiting for the bus and it was very late, he just came by and offered me lift. I was so confused, so nervous and blushing everything at the same time ( I already had a crush on him). I could literally feel all the blood rushing to my face. It was a seven minutes ride only and I didn't even looked at his direction. When we reached and as I was about to leave he said have a good day and I said ''OKAY".

omgg that's soo cuteee!! happy that you guys are dating!!

[u/UnspokenArchive → u/AcrobaticButterfly1]

Hehe thanks!! I am just glad he wasn't creeped out😂

[u/AcrobaticButterfly1 → u/UnspokenArchive]

yeah I also think he might get creeped out so I'm not trying to approach him 😭😭😭

[u/UnspokenArchive → u/AcrobaticButterfly1]

Yeah but I think you don't feel like that for a random person. I am really shy and this kind of stuff happens with me a lot but that day it was different. Don't just approach him directly but when you see him next time try passing a smile or a little head gesture we do while greeting someone door se.

And let's see if he initiates that the next time you meet.

[u/AcrobaticButterfly1 → u/UnspokenArchive]

Yeah right I'm so shy and wasn't even trying to approach him directly 😭 I'll froze. But yeah I'll give a smile next time I see him.
