Forest Green Eyes

"A" like aquintances

It was a very dark day today. I just got home from work planning to treat myself right when I remembered that I forgot to go grocery shopping. I had absolutely nothing at home, not even tea.
With a heavy sigh I put back on my shoes to make myself ready for another unpleasant walk outside my comfy apartment.
"At least it's just a ten minutes walk" I tried to encourage myself. Locking my doors I went the few steps down from my apartment, out of the building and made my way unwillingly to the nearest supermarket.

It wasn't just dark, it was a depressing day even. It was the kind of day where everything was tinted in a grey light. No sun at all, not even rain, just dark grey. Reaching the supermarket I mentally thought what I needed. I didn't plan to make great shopping here, just a few things for today to enjoy my evening. Maybe some pasta quattro fromaggi or something like that, tea leaves, vegetables and fruits, some bread. Reaching the isle with bread I was thinking so hard I didn't even see the person right in front of me. I bumped into something great and muscular.

How embarrassing.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry" I try to apologize, not even realizing who's even standing in front of me.
"It's okay" says the dude, scratching his head a bit, clearly a bit embarrassed too. Why was he embarrassed though, I thought, that's when I looked at him the first time. He was pretty cute to say the least. He was tall, which was no problem at all if you thought about midget me. He was at least two head's taller. He had short blonde hair and he looked twenty-ish maybe. And bright forest green eyes. I was staring.

How embarrassing. I could clearly see it was making him fidgety. Maybe he wasn't good with people? "I'm still sorry though, I was in thought and didn't look where I'm going. You're not hurt, are you?" I asked, shaking myself out of my weirdness.
"I'm fine, Miss. How about yourself?" He asked, mimicking my question. Definitely not good with people, I thought.
"Peachy" I said flashing a fake smile and excusing myself so that I could escape the situation. I still needed food.

Walking away I could still feel his eyes on me though.

How embarrassing.

After gathering everything that I thought I would need for the next two days and after a very stressful wait on the register, because the old lady sitting behind it was very uninterested in her job, I finally made my way towards my apartment.

An annoying alarm awoke me the next morning, disoriented I searched my alarm to finally hit the off button. What a day I was already exhausted and I didn't even leave my bed yet. As I was still laying there thinking about life I heard my phone vibrate somewhere. Curious about who would text me at this ungodly hour I looked for my phone. What got me wasn't the text though, it was the time. How the hell did I stay in bed for so long?!

Almost jumping out of bed I made a run for the bathroom I knew better than to take a shower. After quickly cleaning up myself and fixing my hair I made my way as fast as I could to the train station. Damn it I didn't even do my make up. It's not like I'm using a lot just a tiny bit of mascara because my eyelashes are usually blonde and non existent. Perks of being a ginger. Don't get me wrong I truly love my hair... but it would be nice to have at least visible eyelashes because I look weird.

Running the last 50 meters I actually made it for the bus, panting my soul out I got in and as I was looking for a place not paying attention for what's in front of me I bumped into someone. And it hurt my nose a lot to be honest. Clad in a black leather jacket looking bad ass as hell.... was the handsome dude from yesterday.

Oh my.
