The Woman with the Red Umbrella

CHAPTER 2

Brit POV

Trix and I texted for a couple of times.

I visit her place when I'm free, its like a second home for me.

She wanted to go to my place, I said that maybe next time.

I don't want her to see my plain apartment, its embarrassing.

After finishing my work, I went outside.

Taking a stroll as I lit a smoke.

Its really cold today, its a good thing I wore a jacket.

I also brought Trix's umbrella, she said that I should keep it for awhile.

"Hey! you alone?"

I look at the person speaking behind me .

That angelic voice is Trix of course.

"Hey... do I look like I have someone with me?" I said as I smirked at her.

"Yeah right, funny Brit, I'm here now so... are you happy?, I know you love me"

"Oh really?..yeah I do."

Trix gazed her emerald eyes at me, blushing as she tried to control her smile.

She never said anything after that, she walk by my side, clinging to my arm.

Her eyes staring at me as I puff smoke away from her.

"I never knew that you smoke..."

"Yup, cause I never showed you and you never ask"

She looked at me with furrowed brows , making me glance at her as I tilt my head .

"What?" I said as I blew a puff of smoke .

Trix covered her nose as she stared at me.

"You should stop smoking Brit..." her hands gripping my arm tightly.

"And how can I do that Ms. Beautiful?" I said as I smiled at her.

She looked really mad, aww that's really cute.

"Brit STOP"

"Trix make me..." I said whispering in her left ear.

Her cheeks went red.

Then she took my smoke, throwing it on the ground, stepping hard on it.

"Oh God Trix, really?, that's the best you can do?"

I laughed at her, then took my pack of smoke from my back pocket.

Her eyes widened, she really looked pissed.

Then she suddenly snatched the pack from me.

"Umm, what are you doing?"

"You are not smoking Brit and that's final!"

"And why? , give me a good reason."

Trix looked at me with concerned in her eyes then sighed.

"Brit Please?" she said,I just gazed at her.

"Okay, okay, you won, you happy now?" , I said with a smile on my face.

She happily nodded, then intertwined her fingers with mine.

-----------------------------------

We watched movies in Trix home.

Actually I just stared at her most of the time.

I love looking at her.

Her long, blond ,wavy hair, falling beautifully past her shoulders.

Emerald eyes so gorgeous making me lost as I gaze at them and her soft pink lips that is so kissable.

"Brit... are you still there?"

I was sitting lazily beside Trix.

Gazing at her beautiful form.

Then she moved her face inches from mine, making me wake from my trance.

"Huh?"

"Don't Huh? me Brit, are you sleeping while your eyes are open?"

Her face still in front of me, making me stare at her eyes then to her lips.

Trix blushed then backed away.

Making me disappointed as I looked away from her.

Without saying anything ,I stood up then went straight to her front door.

"Brit why are you leaving?, did I do something wrong?"

"No ...you didn't... I just remembered something that I needed to finish for a client..", I said , which is a lie.

I hurriedly wore my jacket and my sneakers.

Opened the front door and glanced one last time at her face.

Trix sadly looked at me, I took her hand ,holding it gently.

"Bye Trix..."

She nodded, then I kissed her softly on her cheek.

"Brit.."

"Yeah?"

"Can you promise me something?"

"Hmm?"

"I want you to stop smoking, Please?"

"I'll try Trix...I'll try...", I said as I smiled at her.
