TRULY YOURS

The Rain~steve

"That's one fifty-five pounds", She handed me Tocos.

"Thanks," I said in response.

I visit Stella's shop every evening just to have tocos, One of my favorite foods and she has known it for twenty years. As her regular customer, she is much more interested in my lifestyle.

"Why don't you ask someone out? I know are single, And stop coming over to my shop. I am tired of seeing you alone here" She said.

I wonder why she questioned me today when I sometimes bring David here but most of I come alone. Taking half-edge of tocos I asked her.

"Is David invisible? Cause I carried him to your place last week" I finished my tocos and waited for her reply.

"Aww! That talkative guy. Yes, he is visible to me but am talking about a girl, a pretty one! "
She smiled handing out an umbrella to me.

I nodded to her suggestion and gave back her umbrella.

"I think you need it the most. I can walk by, it's not too distant."

I walk out to the streets heading home. Stella's talks reminded me of Ciri, my ex who dumped me because am way too foodie. She accepted me to take her to romantic places Instead I brought her to Stella's to have a shrimp taco.
We broke up in her shop. Now it's been six years since we talked about each other, no texts or phone calls.

                      .....................

It was merely twenty minutes from reaching my house when I got David's call. I answered him.

"Hi! Where are you now? Can you do me a favor please Steve? I have to pick someone from the station and it's a request"

He always gets me in trouble when it's about favor and I can't deny him, he knows that.

  "At what hour?" I asked him without asking about her much.

  "She'll be here at seven, you have to take my car, it is going to shower. Daisy, her name " he ended up.

I went back to David's cabin to take the car. I wonder why he is so concerned about her, It's six forty-five now, and I have to reach at seven. But this weather, "Ahh! God why does he always drag me into his job".

I parked the car in the lot and I ran inside when I heard the horn of the train.

 "Shitt!! I forgot to write her name, How did she figure it out for me?"

I saw a girl having sketches. I went close to her and kneeled, asking her for help " Can you write someone's name on my shirt? Please!! ".

Thank god that I wore a white one. She took out a black sketch and wrote the name.

  "Thank you so much, my savior "  I kissed her on the cheeks and stood up facing the opposite direction so that Daisy could read them.

Later some minutes, I felt someone tapping on my shoulder. I turned back and looked at her, she was soaked, and her hair too. I could not see her face cause her brown hair covered her face and she didn't make eye contact. Her skin is engaging and the way she is outfitted, I feel so icy when I glance at her. Something that I have never felt around someone.
