I walk out of the store with a few bottles of paint and a new book that the elder man recommended for me. I stop by a bench to wait for my aunty, I look at the view and enjoy the small river running through town going somewhere far away. Sometimes I wish to be water, I do not know where I am going I just follow the stream and the wind. On the way, I run into stones, fish and water plants that might stop my journey for a moment, but I will continue to follow the stream, and someday I will end up at some ocean where my journey in life will start again... But where I will go from there is a mystery, and maybe that is the mystery of life, you do not know where you end up.
My bubble gets popped when the sound of a motorcycle fills the area, I do not turn my head from the river but behind me, the motorcycle stops, and the sound of a girl's giggle fills my ears. "It was amazing, thank you for the ride. How about you come to dinner at my family's house tonight?" The girl says with a flirty voice. A deeper voice answers back "Let us see, I do not meet family just for fun" From what I hear the girl sounds almost offended by the guy's answer "Just for fun? But my love-" The guy interrupts her and tones the coldness down a bit "Dear, I am not your love. We just met and I am just helping a lady out, I am just trying to be nice - it is not supposed to lead to me meeting your family, sorry" The girl says sorry and slowly walks away, as the guy leaves the motorcycle to sit on the grass in front of me.
I slightly move my head towards him, his hair is a pretty dark brown that has the length of a mullet. His green shirt is blowing in the soft wind, his grey shorts shows off his soft tan skin. "Hey M/N, I am going to get some coffee beans wanna come?" I hear my aunty asking from behind, I turn my head to look at her, she is carrying a light brown fabric bag in her left hand, and a few pieces of fabric stick out from the top of the bag "No thank you, aunty, want me to take the bags while you get the coffee beans?" She smiles and gives me the bag "Ah thank you, dear, give me some time and I will be back" I nod and wave to her as she turns around and heads to the market.
"Is that your aunt?" I hear the deep voice ask me, I turn back to the male in front of me "Yeah..." He nods and says: "She is a beautiful woman" I nod, even if I find it weird for a stranger to comment on my aunt's beauty. "Yeah she is", "How old are you, kid?" He turns his upper body towards me "I am 18, why?", "Nothing just wondering, you look like you could be 16" 16?? Yeah okay, I have always looked younger than my original age. "Get that a lot, what about you?" I ask. A grin creeps onto his face "Guess" he just says instead, I look at his face trying to figure it out. But stop breathing for a second when I realise how handsome he actually is, his eyes make him look like a kitten, the nose is a little rounded on the tip but it does not look big, rather small. "Well... I have heard that Asian genes make you look younger than you already are, I think you are 20 or 21" His smile grows "A smart kid, we like that" Our eyes stay locked for a little while, the way his brown eyes makes me feel like I am getting lost. Like I do not know what is going on around me, the sound of someone walking up behind me seems to be a faded sound in my ears.
"I got it, let us go - we need to get back before dinner" My aunty's voice breaks the eye contact between me and the man. I stand up and turn to my aunty and nod "Okay" She walks away from the bench and over to the parking lot, and just as I am about to leave, the man softly grabs my left hand "Want to come to a party tomorrow night?" He asks me as he pinches his left eye to block the sun away from his eyesight. I look down at his hand and feel how soft his hand is. "Uuhh-" I say but he interrupts me "It is a public party, most of the town is coming" The man explains, as I think about what to say, my free hand rubs the back of my neck softly pulling my hair a bit. "Think about It. It starts at 7 PM and ends whenever people are going home - I will be around here so you know where to look if you need someone to hang out with" He lets go of my hand and I nod in response "Okay, maybe you will see me" He nods and waves as I walk away from the bench.
I get to my aunty's car and put the fabric bag into the backseat, she starts the car as I get fully inside "Who was that?" She asks interested as she drives over the stone path and onto the country road "Just a guy I talked to for a second" She nods in response "He seems nice, he even asked if I wanted to come to the party tomorrow night, but I do not know - Parties are not my thing you know" My aunty laughs for a second in response "Now that is a lie dear, every time alcohol in on the table you drink and drink, and whenever we get too boring you take the bottle to yourself and walk around the garden, just to find somewhere to sit for hours" I feel my face heating up.
Oh god, now I wish not to go.
