Matt Brown: A Year of Short Stories

Nineteen: The Punch

Kelsey was walking down the isle in the local grocery store, minding her own business, when she felt a firm hand grab her ass. This truly pissed her off. So, before she even thought to look at the person who grabbed her ass, she turned around so fast and struck the man with her fist. It was a hard hit. The man covered his face where she had hit him. Then she happen to see who it was. It was Matt. She ran to him and started helping him clean his face. She was apologizing the entire time she was helping him. He looked up at her and just started smiling at her. He told her he didn't have to worry about her cause she had one hell of a punch. She started to smile at him through her tears. Once they got over the event that just happened, they walk through the store to the cereal isle to get a box of oatmeal. She stopped in front of the shelf where the oatmeal is located at. But she couldn't reach it, so Matt reached up and grabbed the box of oatmeal for her. Once they were done shopping and paying for the groceries, Matt told Kelsey that he needed to stop by the hardware store to buy some more nails, so he could finish putting up the shelves in the main room for all of Kelsey's books.
