October
Andrew
It's the month of Halloween and I am here sitting in front of the abandoned pool, blowing out smokes. I look at the burning cigarette trapped between my two fingers, yesterday's interaction recalling in my mind.
I don't know what it is or what this might be, there's just something, something making me think about her, making me think about her out of nowhere.
And i do think she's pretty, I bet many people do. She seems sweet and lively, like a sunshine and her smile, she smiles really sweet.
I look away from the cigarette with a tiny smile and "Fuck" realization kicks in, "I forgot to ask for her number again" I groan
"Who's?" I flinch when I hear this, almost falling down the stairs "Shit!", I turn my head to the side where the voice came from.
And my eyes are locked with gold, brown and green. A beautiful mixture of colors, so beautiful it hypothesize you.
And the same innocent look on her face like she has no clue of anything she does.
"Elise?"
"I'm so sorry I didn't mean to scare you like that" she says walking nearer towards me and I notice that she's wearing a long sleeve shirt again, oh wait it's a cardigan, a brown one and the cardigan has covered most of her black short skirt.
"You still come here?" I ask and she smiles her sweet smile
"Of course, I told you this is gonna be my favorite place" she says walking towards me and sits down, next to me.
I straighten up, fixing my light gray hoodie then turn towards her and her eyes are towards the empty dry pool, the sun seem to have gone brighter than earlier, the little sun rays touching her eyes, she slowly turns towards me. Our eyes are locked again
"Umm so" we both say together
We pause for a moment then again
"You can say first" we both say
"No it's okay you can speak first" we both say again, together
We pause again looking into one another's eyes then we laugh and laugh
Just like the first time, the first time we met in this same place, our laughs echoing the place
"You shouldn't smoke" she says "it rottens your lungs"
I look at the cigarette between my fingers then drop it on the ground, "I don't really smoke that much" I say turning my head towards her, crushing the cigarette with my left foot.
"But still I think you shouldn't" she says with a small smile
"So what were you tryna say right now?" I ask
"Oh it's nothing, it was just a stupid question" she says with a shy smile, not meeting my eyes
"No say it, no question is stupid" I say and she turns her head towards me
"My dad use to say that" I say with a small laugh and she smiles
"Uhh I just wanted to ask who that girl is" she says and confusion fills my mind
"What? What girl?"
"I promise I wasn't eavesdropping or something, it's just that when I walked in you were already talking and-" she says fast in almost one breath
"Wait" I stop her "what girl are you talking about?"
"The girl" she says "the one you were talking about, you were saying you forgot to ask for her number"
