Not So Perfect

What just happen?

As I stood there, still and immobile, my mind struggled to process the events that had just unfolded. Despite the curious and judgmental stares of the people around me, I was lost in my own thoughts, replaying the entire episode in my head.

It had all started with a brisk walk, a phone call with my dad, and a quick check of the project photos. The dense fog had enveloped me, and as I turned a corner, my world had turned upside down. One minute, I was holding my steaming hot coffee, and the next, I was sprawled on the ground, my coffee spilled all over me, courtesy of a careless passerby. But that wasn't the worst part.

The handsome stranger, the one who had knocked into me, had the audacity to insult me before walking away without a care in the world. I was left fuming and speechless, unable to react to his unprovoked attack on my dignity. It was like he had some kind of hold over me, a power that made me unable to speak up for myself.

And yet, as I replayed the scene in my head, I realized that there was something about him that was alluring, something that drew me towards him. It was the way he moved, with a fluid grace that spoke of confidence and control. And there was the fact that he looked so normal, so calm and collected, despite his rude behavior.

I was never one to fall for the typical jocks, the playboys, or the party animals. I had always prided myself on being independent and self-reliant, someone who didn't need a man to complete her. But this man was different. He had me feeling weak in the knees, my heart racing at an impossible speed. It was like he had cast some kind of spell on me, and I couldn't resist its pull.

Of course, I knew that love spells and voodoo were nothing but nonsense, but there was no denying the hold he had over me. When he had insulted me, I had felt powerless, my palms sweaty, my stomach doing backflips. It was a feeling that I had never experienced before, and it scared me.

But I wasn't going to let him get away with it. I may have been tongue-tied in the moment, but I was determined to hunt him down and make him apologize for ruining my day and insulting my mother. He may have been smooth and graceful, but he had crossed a line, and I wasn't going to let him get away with it.
