My Destined Romance

Two

I reached the long aisle of dog food and I started looking for their favorite food.

"There it is!" I excitedly said to myself. I walked towards the area where it is being stacked but didn't notice other peoples presence until I heard a shrieking sound.

"Babeeee just pick any goddamn food! It's not like it matters anyways. Feed them any and they will still survive.." It was never my intention to listen to other peoples conversation but what can I do? The voice was annoying and hearing her say it irritates me. But I just ignored it.

"Hey! Don't say that! Besides, my brother would kill me if I picked the wrong food.. Now which one Should I pick, the cheaper one that is brandless or the branded one? And hot dang! I can buy 4 boxes of pizzas with this kind of price!!" I rolled my eyes just hearing their conversation. And the crazy part about this scenario. They are standing infront of what I was looking for.

"Great! Just great!!" I whispered to myself. Here goes nothing!

"Excuse me..." I was now standing beside the guy that is holding different bags with both hands and looking just as clueless as his partner, the lady with the annoying voice.

What? I am just being honest here!

The guy was startled by my sudden appearance but he immediately smirked. Ughh.. Men!

"If buying dog food makes me crosspath with you then I will come here everyday." He said with a flirty tone that made me roll my eyes.

"Oh please!! She's not that pretty. I mean, she is not even wearing make up!!" I gave the lady a blank look. My looks was never my priority. So I just disregard what she said and grabbed 3 boxes of the soul reason why I am here in the first place.

"That's the point babe! She is not wearing makeup and look at that beautiful face! I mean, compared to you, all caked and dressed. She is just even wearing a jacket and sweat pants! You lost in the look department babe!!" Is he for real? He just insulted his girlfriend. I mean, they call each other babe so I am assuming they are a couple. And get this! He is laughing hard! Prick!!

I can tell the lady is embarassed since she turned her back and walked away stomping her foot and mumbling colorful words that got her scolded from making such a ruckus. I laughed a little at her childish act.

"Wow! You have a breathtaking smile! Is this love at first sight?" To say that I was shock was an understatement! I mean, Did he just confess to me?

Truth be told I had a few guys confessing their feelings but NEVER to a point they said the 'L' word. I know! I know! I am overthinking things but this was all so new to me.

"Can you not say what is on your mind all the time? I mean, you just insulted your girlfriend and now you-you said L word!" I was beyond irritated and for the simple me to even think of the L word caused me to blush.

"What!! Oh my god are you blushing?! You are!!!" He is now jumping up and down like a kid that earned weird looks from other people. Since I hated attention, I grabbed a few bags of dog food and was about to run away from him but said something first..

"Dogs are living animals and they deserve respect most specially from people. Since you want them to obey you, in return treat them well and not treat them like trash. The pedigree works well with them. Choose the ones with Real Beef written on it since they mostly dig it." I know I acted like a bitch so I gave him a smile. He was now dumbfounded with his mouth wide open.

I was looking at his shocked face and I sighed. I did it again! Letting my mouth run wild. "Sorry.." I gave him an apologetic smile before heading to the counter with less customers standing in line. After the cashier ring my stuff, I went straight home. I can't wait to see my babies. I bet they are hungry now!
