The Girl Through The Viewfinder

having fun with her

I knocked on her door just like before, i waited behind standing quite nervous that i highly cant refrain feeling from. It's not like how i firstly came over to Rachel's, it just really different if i'm alone and for goodness sake this is autumn. A new friend of mine.

I heard her hurriedly call out, as i knew she's coming to open up; then a loud thud sound happened back at the door i'm facing. I quickly lean by the door, "Are you okay?, what happened?" And before i sense it the door opens up, making me back up.

"I tripped, it's nothing." She still smiles even if she got hurt, autumn reached down onto her knee which it seem like that's where it landed, and she just brushed it off with her hand. I could still see the red in it. "Good evening by the way." You can't do that autumn. "Come on in, did you able to pass by at your friend's unit?"

She lead me in and smoothly changed the topic off of her hurting knee. "Good evening.." I greet back not so energetically. "And yes, i have already dropped by." She then suddenly turned around and i almost bump into her.

"Why is my postal express sounds gloomy today?" I look down and accidentally land it towards her chest- her thin cotton layered sweater that makes her undergarment visible, so i quickly tilt my head more downwards; seeing down my feet with socks.

"Why were you even in a hurry? You hurt your knee because of it." I don't know maybe i'm overreacting. I know theres a possibility of a reasoning of saying she's used to always falling to the ground due to her being a baseball player, a very athletic by that.

"I was just excited, look- i'm okay." She peeks at me and i glanced at her gaze, i don't know why her smile makes everything alright. "I'm sorry if you're upset about me not being careful, next time i'll be more cautious, and the impact is bearable so don't worry" 

"I'm not going anywhere.." That came out unnecessarily. I caught a glimpse at her plain reaction and realised i made that kinda awkward. I shuffled my hair, embarrassed, "And it's the floor's fault, i'm upset at it."

"Pfft-"

I lift up and as expected, here she lay bursting her laughter right before me, forgetting about the sore in her knee.. A small joke can make her this happy and forget all the things troubling her for even a moment. Autumn never fail to amuse me every second i could get to know her more. Being able to undergo this kind of happiness, i wouldn't want to miss it.

"You made these?! No way, i have to see it myself." I chuckle at her upon serving the sashimi onto her plate, and opened the sauce and wasabi on its tiny container for her to dip in. She then point her chopsticks at me briefly to get my attention, "I actually never have this type of sashimi before," I sat down in my seat while listening to her.

"I didn't bother asking what sashimi it is if you wanna know. I just wanted you to come over."

Is this revenge..?

I sneer down and she eat up, letting out a exclaiming hum. I look towards her and she gave me a happy thumbs up as she chew. The sight of her, i can't help but smile from it as well. After we ate she told me she'll come over to watch me make it next time, wherein she can come anytime. I have stay for a bit as she insisted me to even sleep over as the night's pretty dark now to bike all the way home, but i have work tomorrow.

I sat in her airbed where she sleeps in, her room's pretty ordinary and simple i liked it. And it also goes out to her personality for me. A simple yet resplendently comforting. My eyes catches to her fender stratocaster in its stand on the corner of her room just by the bed.

Autumn came pass me while giving me a cup of coffee, as well as she hold hers on the other, "You play..?" I asked her when she then sat down beside me glancing back to the strat at the corner. "Yep, I play with her when i have time, it's just a hobby of mine pretty much."
