They say that 11:11 is a time that if I wish, it will come true.
I did hope that He would hear me.
'I wish I could meet someone who'll love me endlessly'
I murmured while staring at the rain outside the store...
Saturday night. November 11. 11:11 pm. I met him.
"Do you mind if I sit beside you? It seems unoccupied." The man wearing a navy blue hoodie asked me while I'm drinking my coffee.
"Yeah sure." I smiled and turn my attention to the pouring water outside.
It's cold and I'm here at the convenience store sipping my coffee waiting for the rain to subside.
"Cold?"
"Uhh, no. It's a coffee from the Vending machine" I answered but he just chuckled.
"I mean the weather?" I blushed at my stupidity. Oh yeah, it's the coffee, not the weather you stupid self.
I glimpse at his semi-muscular biceps as he removes his denim jacket.
"Here. You might catch a cold." He lends me his hoodie but I just stare at it like it's an unfamiliar object.
"I'm fine. Uhh.. you.... don't--"
He stands up and gently puts his hoodie around my shoulder.
"Wear it. I'm fine with my 3/4's shirt. Yours is thinner. I can literally see the color of your bra and no, I'm not what as you think. Everyone will notice that immediately since you are only wearing an almost see-through white shirt."
"Thanks" I murmured as a response because my inner mind is having an inside war of thoughts about what should I act, say, or what to feel.
Sunday night. December 12. 11:11 pm
I saw him again after a month. Same place. Different situation.
I'm standing at the front of the fridge next to his. He's wearing a sando while I'm wearing a cream long sleeve.
"Excuse me miss." I was taken aback when someone taps my shoulder.
I move giving way but when I turn my gaze at his part. He's gone.
"Hey"
There he is. Standing at my right side wearing his casual smile while holding a can of beer.
"U-uh..hi? Nice meeting you again?" I bit my lower lip trying not to suppress an awkward smile.
We talked for 10 minutes before he went to the counter to pay for his drink and flew away leaving me a small wave as his goodbye.
It's just a small encounter with him but why did I feel something I'm unfamiliar with? He's been invading my mind not to mention I never had a chance to know his name.
Monday night. January 1. 11:11 pm
I ran to the convenience store to buy beverages for our new year's eve. Due to my hurry, I bump into someone, I was about to bid my sorry when I saw him in his cargo shorts and gray shirt holding a cup of noodles.
"Oh. it's you again" he laughed. "Lemme help you with that. Sorry tho, I absentmindedly bump you" he said picking up the coins I fell.
"S-sorry too. I'm...rushing that I didn't see you coming"
"Happy New Year!" My heart skipped when he greeted me with excitement and joy.
"H-happy new year too"
