blind love

Chapter 17- A Walk to the Park

Angie was upstairs in her room grading some exams from the studio. Someone knocked on the door.

Angie”Yes come in”.

Violetta came in and shut the door.

Violetta”Hi Angie can we talk?”.

Angie”Yes Vilu.What’s wrong?”.

Violetta”Oh Angie! I’m so confused. Tomas and Leon both have feeling for me. My heart is split in two. I don’t know who to choose”.

Angie put down her pen and grabbed Violetta’s hand.

Angie”Vilu only you can choose who your heart belongs with. However I will give you this piece of advice. Whoever you decide to be with make sure they really deserve you and don’t go in with your heart on your sleeve”.

Violetta”Your right Angie. I wish my mom was here. She would tell me that everything will be okay”.

Someone else knocked on the door it was Herman.

Angie”Come in”.

Herman came in and noticed Violetta sat on the bed next to Angie.

Herman”Violetta I didn’t know you were here. Is everything okay”.

Violetta” Yes Dad everythings fine.We were talking about girly stuff”.

Herman”You used to talk about girly things to your Dad but I guess it’s okay”.

Violetta stood up and hugged her Dad. Then Violetta left Angies room. It was just Herman and Angie. The atmosphere here was awkward. 

Herman”Angie I was just wondering if you wanted to go for a walk?”.

Angie”Herman I have a lot of papers to grade”.

Herman”We will only go for a short walk. I promise”. Herman was smiling.

Angie”Well okay Herman”.

Angie picked up her bag and mobile phone. They then left the house. Angie and Herman had walked more then they planned. It was no longer a short walk. They were at the park. They sat on the swings.

Angie”Don’t you just love the swings. I think it doesn’t matter if you’re no longer a child. You can always come to the park and play on the swings and dip your feet in the sand pit. I love the sand”.

Herman”I don’t understand you sometimes”. Herman chuckled.

Angie”What don’t you understand Herman?”.

Herman”You. You’re not like all the other girls. You’re different”.

Angie started to laugh. She nearly fell of the swing.

Herman”Why are you laughing?”.

Angie”Because you said I was a girl”.

Angie started laughing again.  

Herman”Sorry well, you’re not like all the other women I know”.

Angie”That sounds better”.

Herman”If you don’t mind me asking how old are you?”

Angie looked surpised.

Angie”Wow. If you really want to know I’m 29”.

Hermann laughed.

Angie”Are you laughing at me because I’m nearly 30?”.

Herman”No. I’m laughing because I thought that you were 29 and I was correct”. He said gleefully.

The atmosphere between them was awkward until Angie broke the silence.

Angie”So Herman how old are you?”.

Herman”Well I’m 37”.

Angie”That’s a good age. You’re not too old”.

Herman”Not too old!”.

Angie looked at Herman. They both broke into laughter.

Angie”Look we better get back. Violetta will be wondering where her Dad is”.

Herman got up and helped Angie from her swing. Angie was stuck. There was chewing gum on Angie’s swing.

Angie”Herman I’m stuck!”.

Herman”I’ll help you. Give me your arms”.

Angie gave Herman her hand.

Herman”Right on the count of 3 I will pull you out1..2..3!”.

Angie flew from her swing then through the air . She then hit the ground. However she feel on top of Herman!.

Angie”Herman  I’m so sorry”.

Herman helped Angie up. She had sand in her hair. Herman helped pick it out of her hair. They were both smiling at each other.

Angie”Come on Herman we better get back”.

……………………………1 hour later…………………………………

Angie and Herman both reached their bedroom doors.

Herman”Well Goodnight Angie”.

Angie”Goodnight. Sweet dreams Herman”.
