Unaware Much?

My Public Property?

"We were victims of the night!
The chemical!
Physical!
Kryptoniitteee!
Helpless to the bass and the fading lighhht!
Oooh, we were bound to get together!
Bound to get together!!", I shout-sang as I kept the hand shower in it's place and took the body wash bottle in my hands, yet again pretending as if it was a mic,
"She took my arrmm!
I don't know how it happened!
We took the floor and she saaiiiidd!!
Oh don't you dare look back!
Just keep your eyes on me!
I said you're holding back!
SHE SAID SHUT UP AND DANCE WITH ME!!
This woman is my destiny!
She said oooooooohhhh!
Shut up and dance with me!"

"Why do I have to always be late?!", I say headed down the stairs after locking my apartment.

"Because you take to long to decide what to wear and double the time showering", I say to myself.

I was just picky in what I wore and well, I liked to shower.

I didn't have the time to do my hair, like I ever even did my hair, so I threw them in a bun.

I was wearing a grey asymmetric dress which was practically one of the most comfortable things I had and sneakers along with it.

Who doesn't like good effortless clothing after all?

I rushed to the coffee shop opposite to my apartment building and ordered a blueberry smoothie.

The waitress seemed bitchier than usual but she gave me my smoothie and that was all I wanted from her.

I headed out as soon as she handed me my smoothie and damn such lovely weather it was!

No sun, only clouds!
The best weather, it could rain anytime and it'll be awesome!
Yayyyy!

I thought of all the possible places I could go to today, and the best seemed the forested park.

It is one of my favourite places here in the city.

It's a little forest hill which is quite big in terms of area. It's covered with dense trees and walking paths connecting at random places. It has a lake on one side too!

It's the most chaotic yet heavenly place at the same time.

I started the not very long walk towards the park and soon reached it's entrance.

Another thing about this park was that the only people who came here were the ones who knew their way around and there weren't many such people, so it's easy to enjoy your solitude with the surrounding.

I started walking on the path and going deeper into the park .
I knew this place like the back of my hand.

There are many booths and covered areas for people to sit and relax.

I walked around, here and there just admiring the place like I always do.

I like to walk, with all the random thoughts inside my head.
It gives me a sense of peace.

Once I got bored pacing around, I started walking towards a clearance, which many people don't know about.

That was my thinking place, a place where I could do anything and everything in my thoughts.

Also, the lake was like twenty steps away from there, so all the more good.

As I headed towards the clearing, I saw someone sitting there.

At first I though I was hallucinating because that's the first time I've seen anyone at thi specific spot.

There is no actual path leading to this place and, it's just disturbing that someone is here.

But never mind, public property.

Ugh.

I walk closer to see if I recognised that person or not.

It was a guy probably of my age who was clicking pictures.

Well not like I minded, but this is my place?!

I walked closer to the person to see what was he actually trying to capture.

It was as if he sensed my presence somehow, he turned to have a look at me.

I froze for a moment because I knew I was careful and did not make a sound.

Hell! Even the klutz inside me didn't show up this time!

He seemed to scan me starting from my shoes and that, was weird. An unfamiliar expression flashed through his eyes, which I couldn't decipher.

"Eyes up here, sir.", I say in an irritated manner.

He looked up and met my gaze.

Recognition flashed across his features and it would be a lie if I would say my expression wasn't a mirror to his.

"What are you doing here?",
I ask him in an awkward manner.

"Hello to you too, Miss Raine. Nice meeting you, and I'm here for having a sex date. Mind leaving me and my girlfriend alone?", he said with sarcasm dripping from his voice.

"What I meant was how did you find this place and how can I possibly take your left hand away from you?", I turn to go, but continue saying,
"Why such a grump though, Mr - what's your surname?".

"Ricci.", he said and I nodded in response.

I was just about to turn and head out,
"So I slept late last night and I'm not a morning person and also I needed some tonic boost. Then, I face this horny waitress and a walking bag of testosterone in the morning.", he explained and looked up,
"Not an ideal morning, you see.", he chuckled and sighed.
