A love story

Rebecca Smith

I still remember the day I met her, she was working at the bike shack. My town has a population of about 240 people, so everyone knows everyone. She came to town the month of June. It was a sunny, quite afternoon, me and my friends were hanging out at the pub, when we saw the moving truck pass by. The truck was heading on to Boulevard Street, the street I've lived on my entire life. Word got around quickly, as it would in any small town. Kids in my town gathered information on this foreigner. We quickly found out she was the same age as us and that her name was Rebecca Smith.

Rebecca started her new job at the bike shack a week after she moved. I worked at the pub which was across the street from where she worked. Sometimes she would grab lunch at the pub, I noticed she always ordered a chicken salad and bought the homemade lemonade we sold. Once she got her lunch, she would sit in the corner booth by herself, looking out the window. I'm not sure what she was looking at, but she always had a sparkle in her eye.

As time passed I continued working at the pub, and she continued working at the bike shack . Days quickly passed and I still hadn't talked to her. I was working cashier the day I finally talked to her. In case you are wondering, no I didn't have enough guts to tell her how beautiful she was. When she walked in to the pub, I finally got a good look at her. She was beautiful, I couldn't deny it, she was absolutely gorgeous. Staring like and idiot, I took her order.

" hi, I'll have a chicken salad with a bottle of lemonade please"

Of course I made a fool out of myself, I just stood there, like an idiot.

"Hello?"
" Oh sorry! Coming right up!"

I didn't even have to tell her how much it was, she already knew.

Instead of sitting in the corner booth she took her food and left. But I did get a good look at her face. She had brown hair, with streaks of almond highlights. Not to mention her blue eyes like an ocean, and her voice, oh it was so calm and peaceful, like a lullaby. She wore a white baseball cap backwards on top of her head.  Absolutely stunning. That day I fell hard, I fell hard for Rebecca Smith.
