"Carpe Diem"

Chapter 6 - Run Off

I look one last time in his eyes, and without saying anything else, my feet start moving. I look back and he's still there, stop in his tracks watching me go. I take a look at my watch.  

"God, it's already 8:24!" I think as I speed my pace and head to work, with the image of that men pushed to the back of my head.

I managed to arrive just in time, or so I thought.

"Where were you? I waited at least twenty minutes for you at the train station I couldn't wait any longer. Dear did something happen? Are you hurt?" 

Oh my, I completely forgot my sister was supposed to me with me, so we could come to work together, and talk for a bit.

"No, no. I am fine. I'm really sorry for making you wait. I, just... I don't even know. I was walking and this gorgeous, good looking man comes out of nowhere, and I fell on the floor, it my head and then I'm awake in is arms, and run off." I say so fast I could barely understand my self, and without realizing what was coming out of my mouth.

oh god, couldn't you have keeped that part to yourself?!

"Gorgeous, good looking man, you say? Oh dear, then you're more than forgiven!" She says more than excited.

"Oh, Ok then." I nod and head to my post work.

"That's it? You're not saying anything else to me?" 

"What do you want me to say?" I ask furring my eyebrows.

"I don't know, something more about him. What colour were his eyes?" She asks as we head to our tables.

"Uhm, a light shade of blue, and they were this kind of green on the inside." I am smiling, unwittingly.

"His he from around here?" 

"I wouldn't know. He only said his name."

"Which is..?" She asks, once again way too excited.

"Josh." I blush.

"That sound so sexy. Did he invited you for a date?"

What?! Sexy?! A date?!

"Why would he do that? And why did that thought cross your mind? To start it's just his name, and right after I runned off. There was no time for more questions."

"You run off?!?" She says, way to loud.

"Could you misses go back to work now, and leave the gossip for later?" Our boss says kind of annoyed.

Martha, my sister, didn't said anything else about the subject for the rest of the day. It's now 4:30 p.m. and were ready to leave, so I can pick up my children from school. We two, are the last ones to leave.

"Oh my." Martha says in front of me, as I go trough my bag looking for something.

"What is it?" I ask.

"I think a certain blue green eyes man, is here looking for you." I gasp and look up. He's looking me in the eyes.

I turn to my sister and tell she could keep going, I would catch up with her in a minute. She's nods.

As she does so, he's  walking to me and without realizing I am doing the same.

"You left you're scarf behind." He smirks at me, with my kerchief in his hand.

"Thank you." I say looking down. "I must have forgotten."

"I would say so, considering the way you left." He laughs, lighting the air.

"Oh, I'm sorry. But I was afraid I would get late for work. I could get fired." 

"Don't apologize. I completely understand." He smiles down at me, and I blush.

"Would you mind going for a walk with me?"

I am taken aback by his invitation. "I... I don't know, I'm supposed to pick up my children from school."

"What time is that?"

"17:15." 

"That's all I need, we won't take long." I look up and he is only a few inches away from me. I froze momentarily, but then nod.
