Lately my informer and I have been doing the same to communicate, I find it dangerous but he says its okay, who will guess an old man using a newspaper will be leaving a deadly code.
Today the park seems to be empty, the sun shines on my face but it doesn't bother me, the leaves are starting to change color and fade, for some reason I find myself in them. Changing and eventually fading, I don't stay in one place, with one name I just come and go and let the wind take me away .
Since my last mission I have been here , a small town , maybe two lakes and a couple of summer houses , nobody knows me but I know them all.
Except her. The first thing I see are her deep honey brown eyes and how they reflect the sun light and even when I don't want my mind starts to work on her . Can't be more than 23 , seems to be lost , comes from the city , 5'7 , that is not her natural hair color , she wears contacts , this morning she didn't ate and she has a beautiful smile.
I see her talking with Jade and Marisa, they look at me and I look away. My only objective is the newspaper in the bench and just when I'm getting there she is too, I don't know what she is thinking or who she is but who messes with me doesn't ends up well.
- " I'm sorry but that is mine" I said trying to sound calmed and polite, not looking directly at her eyes.
- "it doesn't have your name on it " she says as she sits in the bench grabbing the newspaper with her perfectly polished hands , the bright color grabs my attention but just a second and I try to convince her.
-" I just want to check something , it will be fast" I say sitting beside her . My first mistake .
-"oh okay, you will when I finish , you know that is what a gentleman will do, let the lady first " she said with that little smile in her face that doesn't let me want to kill her.
- "I'm Tyler" My second mistake , I said my real name.
-" I'm Kate, and? " must be short for Katherine I think instantly .
-" Well Katherine my name is actually there " this is yesterday newspaper and I remember one headline had my name. "check page 45" she looks at me surprised , I'm not sure if it's because she is actually Katherine or that I know the page .
-" How you know I'm Katherine? " she said looking for page 45 and avoiding looking at my eyes.
- " Kate is short for Katherine I just guessed . See my name is there " I say proud of winning this. I grab the newspaper and our hands touch, hers are soft and warm, I know mine must be rough and cold, but I try not to think about it , it's irrelevant. Now I can see her face more clearly and our eyes meet. My third mistake.
- " Aren't you gonna read it? " I see her cheeks turning red and the weather isn't hot or cold enough for that. She has a natural looking tanned skin and I know I got her nervous and it felts good. I take my eyes off her and pretend I'm just reading the newspaper hopping she will leave but she stays and starts to talk.
- " I haven't seen you here, are you new?"
-"I'm just passing" I said without even looking at her.
- " oh you have family , are you the Johnson's grandson?
- "no, I'm passing on my own"
-" it's a good place to be alone and start new. " she says and makes silence , I look at her with the corner of my eye. She isn't lost but hurt , I can see it in her eyes and how she stares at a leave moving in the ground , I'm not supposed to care. But I do. Fourth mistake . How many I'm gonna make just today?.
- " why do you need to start new?" she looks at me and obviously I know I made the wrong question , couldn't I wait and just check her in the information base?.
-" you are the first to actually ask " I feel sorry for her and more when she finally starts to talk. Her stupid boyfriend cheated on her after she gave him all her high school years and part of college, I quickly suppose that when she says that who she thought she will marry actually was a liar and left her alone after all. Left her for something better . And I can't think of something better than the girl sitting beside me. Fifth mistake. I already got attached... there was something about her that made me feel like home.
And since that moment I knew that I would lose the count of my mistakes with her.
