Dear New Lover

Part 1

Christopher's POV

I saw her at a coffee shop, she was drinking a cup of latte on a cold November day. I was outside sipping my strawberries and cream, just looking at her in awe. I ask my self, why can't I just go and ask for her name and her number. My nervousness bit in, I couldn't even light my cigarette properly. I'm guessing she was prom queen back in high school. Well me, I'm just a new guy here in town. I don't know how to make a move on her. She has this commanding aura that turns every mans head in her direction, dark brown eyes that could melt my cold heart, small lips that would make me jump if she would ever say my name, she has that short hair that looks a lot like Lily Collin's. Let me just make it clear, I am totally not her type, besides I think she already has a boyfriend. I forgot to introduce myself, I am Christopher James Realis. I am a photographer, an architect, a sports enthusiast and a book lover. As I took a photo of her from outside the coffee shop I caught a glimpse of her smile and I forgot to click the camera, She was smiling at me, I think she noticed me staring at her for an hour now. She walked to the counter, talking to the cashier, I took my chance and took a picture. She was laughing with the cashier. I don't know what they were talking about but she is smiling and laughing it was the prettiest thing I have ever seen in my whole life. My mouth drop when she looked and me and winked. I didn't know what to do so I just smiled, that shy type of smile. Offering the biggest smile I could muster but failed. I was in awe. She once again notices that I am flustering, blushing and shying away. She walks towards the exit and my heart sinks, I ask my self " will I be able to see you again?" She walks towards me at a steady pace, my heart beat slows, everything slowed down. I ask my self Is she going towards me? I can feel my heart wanting to escape my chest. She leans down my table, I stumble with my words, "what do I say? what do I do? Stay cool CJ, keep your cool don't do anything stupid" I tell myself over and over again and then she starts talking.

Marjorie's POV

I notice him staring at me, snapping pictures like I won't notice. I asked the crew what his name was. The crew answered "I think his name was CJ, I don't think he's from around here. Maybe a tourist or something." I looked back at him and smiled, he's still photographing me. Yeah, he is still photographing me. Why! Although he's kinda cute I've gotta say that. I asked the cashier "Should I go talk to him or should I just wait for him to do something?"

"Yeah, sure. What's there to lose with talking with him? It's not like you've got a boyfriend,right?" The cashier says with a smirk on her face. "Go on now Marjorie before he goes away." " Oh, come on. He won't go away he's been taking pictures of me for quite a while now." I went to talk to him and our conversation went on like this.

"Conversation"

Marj: So... Isesearch mo na lang ako sa Facebook?

Cj: Ha?

Marj: Ang sabi ko, isesearch mo na lang ba ako sa Facebook?

Cj: Ha? Di kita sinesearch sa Facebook no?

Ituturo ni Marj ang salamin sa likod.

Marj: Talaga? Eh bat nakabukas profile ko sa browser mo?

Napapatingin si Cj sa likod at nagmadaliing isinara ang browser. Napapatawa si Marj.

Marj: Next time wag mo nako isearch. Mas madali kasi kung tatanungin mo na lang ako kaysa istalk mo ko. Ikaw Cj ha? Hahaha.

Cj: Hindi ako stalker no? Baka ikaw.

Marj: Ha? Ako? Stalker? Cool mo bro. Pero hindi. Hahaha
