Matthew

While waiting for Casey, my girlfriend who's now my fiancee, as she was to meet her bestfriend after her nails were done, I found myself at the mall's bookstore to wind my time. As I was about to proceed to the sports magazines section, I passed by the center aisle where all the bestsellers were displayed. I did'nt know what hit me. I saw someone with her brows scrunched maybe because of her hideous glasses which kept falling on her nose, picked up a paper back sample of the best sellers on the aisle in front of me. She read the front page, and then flipped until the last pages. Tsk! Tsk! Cheater, I whispered. She probably wanted how the story ended. I saw her smile showing a dimple. Maybe the story ended what she has expected. I continued staring and did'nt know what to do next. This was new to me. Never did I encountered anyone whom I cannot start a conversation with. But I just stood there. My feet as well as my tongue were somewhat not working at that time. She looked up a split second but readily went back to the shit she was reading. I knew she saw me gawking at her. But she did not make a second glance. Have I lost my charm? Am I not that irresistible anymore? Maybe I lost my market value when I decided to propose to Casey. Well I loved her. And I want to spend the rest my life with her. But why am I feeling this way towards a stranger? She was not as beautiful or as sexy as Casey. While Casey wanted to wear short skirts or tight jeans with girly blouses in floral and pink. The stranger was like a tomboy. Wearing tattered jeans, a black shirt and black Converse. No make up. Wearing thick black glasses I swear only my Nana would have. She has bob cut hair which I usually hate in girls. I wanted them long, just like Casey's. I enjoyed the feel of it when she's on top of me while I tug at them lightly while she was screaming my name. Then I felt the sudden urge, and I found my voice.

"Did'nt you know they are making a movie out of this shit?!", I blurted. She looked up and glanced around, she thought I was talking to someone else. Realizing, I was talking to her, she replied stammering " yeah, I heard so I was curious. This must be good," again, returning to the book. I nearly grabbed the book and threw it far away fron her so that she can look at me. I've noticed she was not reading, she was just merely looking at the page randomly. So, I guessed I could still make an effect to the opposite sex, or not.

Knowing that she was not familiar, and I never saw her before, feeling like an idiot, I asked her, "are you a tourist?!" She flashed that smile again and shook her head. "No, I'm starting college here", she said while tucking her free hand in the pocket of her jeans. I was feeling excited I did'nt know why as I asked her " I'll be damned if you are talking about York?!"

"Hell yeah you'll be damned it is York", she said casually.

I felt something deep within my gut, I was happy that I will be seeing her in school. I did'nt know what was happening to me. But, I knew from that moment this stranger will play a big part in my life I did'nt know how or when. But I felt it coming.
