Something Wonderful

Chapter 2

He was wearing khaki bermudas with black shirt and casual slippers. His hairs were ruffled as if he'd just gotten up from bed. His face was the highlight. Beneath the satin black hairs was a face unlike others. It was a soft face with shiny green eyes under perfectly trimmed brows. His dewy lips, moist due to the rain, were a natural pink which complimented his white complexion. His face, which i kept staring, was composed as he continued to stare at me, his arms crossed, his eyes thoughtful or atleast thats what i thought. I stared back, not thinking for a moment what i was doing, until i heard him clear his throat, his eyebrows raised. Blinking back to life, i looked around me searching for something, when i finally remembered about the kitten and the entire last minute replayed in my head, making my body go stiff. I looked up at the stranger, forgetting everything in the moment except the fact that it was because of him that i had lost such a sweetheart.

Rounding at him, i started off,

"What the hell did you just do?!" i exclaimed accusingly.

"Excuse me, what?" he asked, raising his eyes at me in confusion as if it should him and not me who should be asking me that, " Would you mind telling me what were YOU doing here?"

Oops, why is he asking me that! I cannot just tell him that i had been chasing a cute little kitten! Man, it would look so stupid, and the last thing i wanted right now was to look that, especially now when it was because of him that i had lost her in the first place.

Crossing my arms over my chest, i raised my chin, looking away.

"Well..um.." i searched for the right words, "well, its none of YOUR buisiness to know what I was doing." i shot, "Who are you anyway?" i asked, heat rising up my body.

"I am the owner of the house where you're standing madam." he replied coolly.

I stepped back, raising my eyebrows.

"Your place?" i said without any emotion, gesturing with my hands as i looked about, plastering a smile to make the blow of that statement a little less embarassing. This was his place, i gulped. I was standing in HIS territory. Shit man the battle was lost right before it even started!

"Your place," i repeated, grinning at him stupidly, mentally cursing this moment. So what if it was his place. That didn't change the fact that i still lost my kitty because of him.

"Well so what!" i replied,full in action now. If he thinks he's going to get away just by telling me that, he's got to think again. "You want to know what i was doing here?! Fine! Well, i just found a pet for myself, a cute little kitten which i had planned to keep, but thanks to you Mr. ..." i waved my hand, trying to recall his name, when it hit me then that he hadn't really mentioned his name.

He seemed amused by something, because his eyes seemed to lit up, which in turn angered me more.

"Whats so funny Mr. ...," i searched again, and then closed my eyes when i found nothing there.

He was almost grinning till the time i opened my eyes. I blinked twice at him. How can someone possibly find this funny, let alone laugh at something like this! He was either a freak or a mad man, either way he was mentally not fit. That, for some reason, made me smile.

"You are mad, do you know that, Mr. ..." i closed my eyes and just as quickly opened them again, shaking my head, "well, whatever your nam_".

"Sam"

"..name is, and you.. What?" i stopped.

He pursed his lips, trying to hide a smile.

"My name," he grinned, "its Sam."
