Living a Fantasy

Mystery man

Alexis
I wandered ghostly towards my 'spot' as I reached nearer to the edge of the dock I sighed at the sight of the gorgeous sunset, I took a deep breath of fresh air and lowered myself into a sitting position.

I removed my navy converse and socks and lay them by my side, I dared to dip my toes into the icy waters, letting the cold take away and distract me from all my worries and sadness, that had forever drowned me since dad left us.

I'm not quite sure how long I had been sat there staring in to space but I quickly woke up from my daydream when something hit the back of my head,

" Oh I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there " the voice was soft and gentle, as I peered behind me to see the arm of a stranger waiting for me to shake his hand.

"No it's my fault no one ever notices me anyway" I replied gloomily whilst taking his hand and shaking it for a brief moment. But it felt like an hour, his grip was gentle but secure. He was holding a box, that had hit me on the head previously nocking me out of my daydream, of what looked like fishing rods, was he a fisherman? Or perhaps the son of a fisherman, he looked as though he was about to go sailing. In a navy raincoat, green wellingtons and some worn out black jeans.

I slowly got up realising two things, one my feet had been dangling in the water since I started daydreaming and now they felt like frozen ice cubes that needed to go int he oven to defrost, and two he completely towered over me, even when I was on my numb tiptoes. He looked down at me with caring eyes as if he'd known me since birth. For some strange reason I felt safe around his presence, no I'm being ridiculous he's a stranger, so why do I feel like I've known him my whole life? Okay now I was being ridiculous 'known him my whole life' this was the first time I've ever seen him before and he'd only said nine words to me!

"Well I better get going gotta get these rods on my dads boat" A small patch of pink blush came upon his pale skin before quickly disappearing and he smiled calmly as though nothing happened.

"So will I see you here again?" He eventually asked.

I was so surprised, wait someone actually wanted to see me again, okay play it cool, play it cool. I felt a burning sensation on my face I knew I was blushing like crazy, damn you mums genes. Yes well done blushing like an insane person totally acting cool. I managed to breath out the words, "oh.....um.... yeah well I guess I have nowhere else to go" I whispered under my breath but I knew he still heard me. Well done now you sound even more like a loner with no life.

I slumped back down to where I was sat, how come I've never seen this guy before?, where did he come from?, who was he?, oh no! I forgot to ask him his name! Oh well perhaps I could see him tomorrow, I hope.
