Smerch finds a wife

what is happening

She was wearing a purple dress with black beads decorating her chest, black tights and black high heels. You could tell by the way her eyes darted across the room she wasn't usually a very confident person nervously taking a sip of her drink as she came over. She flipped her hair back away from her face as she looked up at the lanky giant man. Having a good night? You could say that. I would never have spent that much on a dress by the way the one I'm wearing original price 70 quid I got it for a tenner online. So you saw all that then. Just a little bit. She giggles and introduces herself. Hi my name's Sylvia. She extends her arm out to shake is his his big thin boney hand he grasps her hand and shakes. Stephen. I already knew your name but yes, hi Stephen. He looked bewildered at the fact the that someone that looks like her has heard of him. So you you've heard of me...big fan? not my cup of tea. She said it sarcastically hoping he'd know she was quoting him and laughs, he lets out a small laugh and starts fiddling his hands, he didn't know what it was but there was something mysterious about her that he wanted to explore, he found himself unintentionally staring into her eyes mesmerised before realising and snapping his eyes away looking down at his feet. So are you here with anyone? Well I was invited here by Suzanne but. What Karl's girlfriend? Yeah I know her from work but as you can see I've been abandoned...but that's not what you meant by with someone is it? He knew she was fully aware he was wondering whether she was single or not but he just smiled awkwardly and scratched his neck not saying anything. I am single Mr nosey but dunno if I'm the best dating choice? And why is that Miss smarty pants? Lots of people think I'm rather strange but to be fair I haven't heard much better of you so maybe I'm not such a bad match? Us weirdos have to stick together... you know what I've been having a pretty crappy day til now. Why whats happened today?  Well earlier I went to the shop and it was pointed out to me by a rather good looking woman that I was still wearing slippers and for some reason I tried to act all casual about it and say I know they are very comfy because I decided for some reason that saying that would make it slightly less humiliating. She just responded with hysterical laughter and changed the subject. So would you like a new drink as that lady is wearing your old one? Are you offering to buy me a drink? Yes I am why is it a man always has to pay for everything  we should have to make kind gestures to men aren't made of money. Are you just testing me or? She chuckles. No I'm serious so do you want a drink or not? Yes please then. She passes him the money and lets him order the drink himself, he can hardly believe that a girl is buying him a drink he feels like he's in a dream where all the rules have changed and he can't understand why this is happening but there is one thing he knows for sure, he has never felt this way about someone so quickly and he feels like he'll slip up at any second and be humiliated once again making him feel a nervous wreck and just hoping she doesn't get put off by his awkward fidgeting and stumbling on words. Just throwing this out there umm.....phone number will you be wanting that? Hmmmm.....lets have a think about that? Am I wearing purple dress? Yes?? She gets out her phone from her little purple clutch bag that has a little diamante clip on the front and starts doing stuff on it, he then proceeds to get his phone out of his pocket and waits for her to say something. K what's your number? you know what you just type it in. She hands her phone over to him and he types in his number double checking he's written it correctly before giving it back, she then holds out her hand for his phone so she can type hers in, he hands it over she seems to type her number a lot faster and more confidently and hands the phone back over quickly smiling widely as she did so like she had really achieved something. You can test it if you want to check it's really me and I'm not giving you a fake number. No I trust you you certainly don't look like your a liar. I'll take that as a compliment I guess? Well it certainly wasn't an insult. He could tell she knew he was nervous but didn't seem put off by it or any of his poorly put together sentences and compliments it seemed she liked him just as much as he liked her but he has met some very good actors in his time so he didn't now whether the way she was acting was real or not. He looked around the room for the first time in the last 15 minutes and saw within that time Ricky had arrived and was looking at him with an astonished look on his face as if to say is that Steve successfully talking to a member of the opposite sex? Steve figured he should go talk to him but he didn't wan't to say good bye to Sylvia and he didn't really want her to go over and talk to Ricky as he was afraid he would ruin everything for him. He looked down at his drink swirling it in his hand as he tried to think of something to say and shuffling his feet a little as he did so, he knew it would slowly grow very awkward if he didn't look up and say something soon. So-  He was cut off by the sound of her phone going off which she quickly answered she put her hand over the phone and looked up at him. Will you excuse me for just a second? No problem. She walked out into the hall way of the entrance where it was quiet Ricky used this as a chance to come over and talk to Steve. What's going on here then? What's going on Rick is that a girl willingly walked over to me and started talking to me even after she had just witnessed me trip and pour a drink all over someone. Ricky let out his usual hysterical laughter and rubbed his chin. So what's wrong with her then? Why do you assume there's something wrong with her? Ricky raised one eyebrow and gave a half smile. She came up to you. Steve noticed her walking back over and knew Ricky wasn't going to walk away he was going to want to see this. Everything alright? Yeah but I am really sorry I have to go family stuff..Hi Rick didn't know you were here hope you have a good night I have your number Steve so I'll see you another time Yeah? Of course see you later. She hurried off with her little clutch bag under one arm and Ricky just stood there baffled. Her hair is certainly interesting. So what if she likes a splash of colour in her hair I think it suits her. I wasn't saying it was bad or anything just different. Well I'm quite different myself aren't I so...quite an even match I'd say. He spent the rest of the night not really being able to focus on what anyone else was saying and drifting off into his own little world thinking about this girl this extraordinary girl who was different to everyone else much like him like neither of them fitted in this world but they fitted together, he was distracted by his thoughts when Ricky nudged him saying that he was leaving now so seemed to be most of the other guests. Steve decided he should go to and called himself a cab.

The ride home seemed so long and peaceful as he was trapped in his own thoughts trying to decipher the events of today and and his movements seemed almost robotic as he walked inside like his body was just automatically moving as his brain was occupied with other things, he went straight up to bed and layed down still fully clothed just looking up at the ceiling he didn't understand what this feeling was taking over him yet at the same time he knew exactly what it was but didn't get how it was there, he had only met her once and it was just a chance meeting he felt stupid for feeling this way but he couldn't stand it he wanted to be close to her, hear her outrageously loud laugh and see her smile.
