Key to my heart

Rain

The rain came pouring down on a rather lonely Saturday afternoon . Sadly it didn't look like noon , it rather looked like the evening coming . A very tall man stood in the middle of the walk way , starring at the crying sky . He felt alone , like he didn't belong in that kind of world . Taking off his soaking glasses , now it didn't matter if he had them on or not . He sunk his head lower to look ahead , all he could see was a strange figure , like a beautiful oil painting . 

"Excuse me sir ." This soft voice seemed to be coming from the lady standing in front of him . He could smell her divine shampoo by just standing there in front of her . 

Getting a little shock he pulled up his satchel "Yes mam ." he said looking blind . 

"Do you happen to know where Telly building is ?" She asked , he clicked after a second . He's heard that building name before , it was where he worked at . 

He pointed in a direction which he hoped was right , "It's that way I'm sure , can't miss it ." he sounded a little misdirected . 

"Thank you sir ." She politely said before leaving him in the misty rain again . 

"Wait mam , would you like my umbrella ?" she stopped to his voice . 

"Thank you . and here's a small towel for your glasses ." She said giving him a small white face towel which he was glad to have gotten . He didn't like using umbrellas . 

Wiping his silver painted glasses under a bench roof awaiting the bus . He ended up drying his black hair too , as well as his light colored arms . Climbing on the bus he felt better that he was somewhat dry . He didn't live too far either it was walking distance but he preferred , on days like that , to take the bus .  The bus was very deserted , so he choose to sit at the back by the window . He glared out of the window , all he could do was think , how's she going to get her towel back ? What about his umbrella ? 

"I will get off here ." he said to the bus driver , he had seen that the rain stopped , jumping off the bus he couldn't help but give himself a small smile . The sun is what he yearned for . He now wanted to walk the rest of the way home . The air smelt of dew and he could feel the warm sun beginning to dry his grey shirt he had underneath a black jacket . 

Approaching a small building that only consisted of a few one or two bedroom apartments . He only wished he could have seen her face , even if it was just once . Bringing out his laptop , he began to play games . He wasn't the ordinary 27 year old you would find in this small city . He would go to work , come home and play games , every now and then he would watch anime (basically Japanese cartoons but some get offended by that ). To the shops and back were for only necessary things .

The phone rang , he couldn't ignore it as it would waste more of his precious time just thinking about it . Picking up his smart phone "Hello ."

"Hello , Alex . it's your little sister !" she sounded so excited , and for some reason she had a strange feeling towards Alex , the only thing he came up with is a fetish for incest .  "This is my new number ." 

"Yes Sasha , I know you didn't call to just tell me that ." Alex said as he knew her so well . 

"Actually I bought us tickets to that k-pop band you like so much , Blackpink ." Sasha said knowingly and imagining his reaction . 

"I'll go ." Alex shot up from his seat while still on the phone to his little sister , he tried hard to keep his cool but really he was excited . "I mean I wouldn't mind since you already bought them ."

"Yay . Can't wait . Goodnight now ." Sasha said with an unusual tone that Alex didn't recognize on what she really meant .

"Goodnight Sasha ." Alex couldn't help but quickly hang up the phone so he could continue playing his violent computer games , this time he couldn't stop smiling . What a thoughtful sister he had is all he could think of . 

Hearing the rain start to pour down again , to look out the window , it was already dark out . Remembering quickly , his washing was still on the line it was a rainy night so he had to hurry . 

Walking back inside with his basket of wet washing , his face grew with utter anger and frustration as the water dripped from his face . Living by himself was hard he thought , especially for someone as forgetful and absent minded as him . How has he survived so long by himself ? 

Alex looked out the window , he began to feel a slight hole in his chest , he felt alone . What was this emotion though ? He hasn't felt it before , all he could think about was how his life might end up one day , something he's never really thought about , what has he accomplished ? Yeah sure he finished art school , he has his dream job , but what could Alex be missing ? 

"Maybe I should get a cat ." Alex spoke to himself , he continued to look at the dreadful sky through his window , he hated the rain .
