Love struck

chapter 2

My name is Eric J Martin and
I once had a beautiful wife who was a wonderful person took care of me and a little blessing , my baby.

But it was to good to be true..
We just could not come in proper terms with each other.

She was from a lonely town called Greendale and with me being from rosewood I was not will to sacrifice leaving my home town...

I woke up from my evening nap to the sound of children screaming and I already knew who it was.
It was the kids from our lane playing badminton. Well basically they are not children they just teenagers who have a lot of time on hand.

So I get up, teach for my phone and check the time.
"Dang it's 4pm" I said and walked up to the bathroom like a zombie.

"Come on why are they screaming so loud it's not like they're being killed." I said walking towards the door.
As I open the door a gush of fresh air brushes my freshly washed face..
In the bright light I see a handsome, tall teenage boy running behind a short, chubby girl screaming "tag your it" almost pushing her down.

"Oh so that's what the screaming is about" I tell myself. And walk back into my house and grabbed
my car keys because I had to meet my friend who was to return my laptop. Next to my car keys I see a half eaten bar of unsweetened granola.

"Hmm yeah I think I'm gonna eat it" I said grabbing the packet.

As I walk out of my house towards my car I hear a almost manly yet childish voice saying "Hey Mr . Erin hope we didn't bother you!"

I turn around and see Steve, he's the one who broke my wind sheild last year with his football!
He walks up to me and with a big bright smile, so big I could see all his teeth and he says to me "Do you want to play badminton with us, I mean if you want to?"

"Um..... Yeah sure, but only for a while" I said willing to give a part of my time to them and also I really enjoyed playing badminton since I didn't have anyone to play I thought heck why not!!

So I walk towards a group of teenages wearing demin jean, jerseys and sweat shirts there were five in total..

Then a beautiful, black haired, brown eyed teenager walked up to me and said "Here you go Mr.Eric and I think you know me I live just around the corner" handing over a badminton racket.

I was left wordless after seeing her.. I stammered and said "Yeah I know you" and took the racket from her hand and began to play.

But I just could not get my eyes of her. I tried to surf but it just didn't go where I wanted it to go and if Steve was surf I would just miss..

She had this look like I have never seen before, a kind heart and caring soul well at least what I think she has.
After a while she decided to play with me and because she was in front of me I was able to play better....

But I was getting late to meet my friend so I stopped playing and handed the racket over to Jessica and our hands gently glided over each other, just enough to touch her soft, manicured hands..

And with that I said bye to them and walked quickly to my car and got inside.
I started the car and drove out of the lane.
I turned on the music player and took a deep breath.. " What just happened!"

I pull over at Starbucks and got into the store. In the corner I see Michael Wilson wearing a yellow shirt with a astestic design.

"Hey" I said.
"Hii you look different today!"he said while slurping on his caramel latte.
"Yeah something came up do you have the laptop? "
"Yes there was a virus that might have come in while you were trying to download something but ok tell me what came up??" Michael said handing over the laptop to me.
"Nothing ,WAITER " I called out.

"No some thing is wrong has my man found love??"he said laughing and grabbed my laptop frim my hands, I flipped and grabbed it back but he had a hard grip.

So I punched him in the stomach and while he loosened his grip I grabbed the laptop...
At exactly at the moment the waitresses came up to us and constantly kept asking us what we wanted while we were fighting.

I am pretty sure she got fed up
and with a louder voice said "What may I get you?"

I took my laptop and looked at the lady and said "Her"
