as you were distracted by texting him on your phone, you didn't notice that your shoes were untied. you tripped, fell, and dropped your phone.
"ow, shit..." you mutter, sitting on the ground and checking for any scratches or small injuries. for a moment, you forget you were following him. just as you're about to get up, you see someone's shoes right in front of you. it's him.
"hey, you okay?" he asks, crouching down to your level, studying your face.
"i- uh, yeah... i just tripped," you stammer.
"you should be more careful next time," he says, standing up and offering his hand to you.
"yeah..." you reply, taking his hand and standing up, playing innocent, not wanting to reveal that you were his stalker. you realize you dropped your phone and start looking around for it.
he notices you searching and raises an eyebrow before understanding what you're trying to find. your phone, which he spots before you do.
"this what you were looking for?" he asks, picking up your phone and looking at it.
you freeze as he pauses, staring at the screen of your phone, your phone open on your texts with him.
"uh, yeah, thanks," you say quickly, reaching out to take it.
he hesitates for a moment, his eyes scanning the screen. "interesting conversation you've got there, stalker." he remarks, handing the phone back to you with a slight smirk.
you swallow hard, feeling your heart race. "i'm sorry. i didn't mean to-" you start.
"stalk me?" he finishes for you, a small, almost amused smile playing on his lips.
you nod, unable to meet his gaze. "yeah. i'm really sorry. i just didn't know how else to get your attention." you say sheepishly.
he sighs, rubbing the back of his neck. "look, it's kind of flattering in a weird way, but also a little creepy. how about we start over, like normal people?" he says.
you look up at him, surprised. "really?" you say.
"yeah, come on, walk with me," he says, chuckling lightly.
you give a small, hesitant nod, agreeing to walk with him.
"wait," he says, crouching down to tie your shoelaces. you look down at him in surprise as he carefully ties them. he glances up at you with a small smirk. "don't want you tripping again, do we?" he teases.
