Code Of The Nerd

Broken Love

NOT EDITED

"Shit!" I yelled.  I bounced around holding my toe.  I jabbed my foot into the counter.  I left a string of sparkling vocabulary as I inspected my foot.  I've been getting hurt a lot recently.  My mind has been in the gutter with all this Valfrid crap.

"Sounds like that hurt like a bitch," Narh chuckled at the sight of me being in pain.  I flipped him off and bit my lip, "Whoa was that the middle finger I saw?  Is my baby sister growing up finally?" 

"Go fuck yourself!" I yelled as he left the kitchen.

"I have Daisy for that!" I puked in my mouth after his comment.  I took a seat at the dinner table and groaned.  My toe was now throbbing!

I got up and hissed at the pain, but continued to make a grocery list.  My mom needed some stuff from the store, so I'm running out for her.  I hated this job as a teen, but now I can get away from my dumb ass brother.

I drove to a Walmart and grabbed my purse.  I went to the dry food items first and grabbed two bags of chips and four bags of crackers.  Then I searched for milk and sour cream.  A cute little girl came running up to me.  She had her hair pulled back into a braid, she wore glasses, had a dress that reached to her knees, red sparkly shoes, and a necklace around her neck.  Her brown hair went very well with her hazel eyes.  She tugged on my shirt and I crouched down to her height, "Yes?"

"Do you know where my daddy is?" She went side to side swinging her arms.  

I frowned, "No, but would you like me to help you find him?" She nodded and I grabbed her hand.  We went aisle by aisle, she would frown every time we passed one and not seeing her dad.  

"What's your name?" I asked her.

"Harmony," she whispered.  I loved the name Harmony.  If I ever had a child I wanted to name her that.

"Harmony!" A man came running down the aisle.  Harmony rushed towards him, yelling dad.  I smiled as he picked her up, kissing her head.  I walked over and got his attention.

I froze, the man looked exactly like Valfrid.  Brown messy hair, deep hazel eyes, a golden tan, but was much mire built and way taller.  He glanced over at me with a smile, "Thank you for watching her.  I started to really worry.  What's your name?  I would really like to repay you in some way."

This couldn't be him.  He was way to mature and a father!  I smiled, "No need.  I was just worried about her. "

I poked her nose, "I love her name.  Harmony.  If I had a girl I would name her that."  Harmony smiled and giggled at me.  

"Please just tell me your name.  I think I should at least thank you properly," he glanced over at my basket, "I'll take care of the expense."

I stuttered out, "No it's fine-" "Please allow me to do this," he seemed so sincere and kind.  I sighed.

"If you insisted," he smiled and took the basket from me.  He handed me Harmony and I played with her all the way to the lines.

"I like you," she giggled out.

"I like you too," I smiled, "how old are you?"

She held out three fingers.  I acted surprised, "Three years old!  You're such a big girl!"  I tickled her as her father paid for my groceries.  I took the bags from him.

"Thank you, you really didn't have to," he just smiled.

"For watching over my baby girl, it was my pleasure," he picked her up and looked at me once more, "your name?"
