Touch of real victory

Shamelles Character Spreading Cheers

" Here you go" - she handed me a folded piece of paper.
" Oh and by the way..." - she paused for couple of seconds," My name is Cindy." - she reached her hand in my direction.

I stood there in disbelief. After all I finally knew her name.She was no longer a stranger.

" I'm Peter, but you already know" - I shook her hand, hearing her giggle almost made me blush again.

I had an idea but I didn't know if I should act upon it or just let it be. Finally I decided that I'd rather regret something I did than think what could happened if... I only did something.

" Hey, I was thinking..." - I paused again, looking at Cindy's face trying to observe her reaction.

" Are you in a rush somewhere? Or is there any place you need to be soon or anyone you need to see soon?"

She laughed. " No, no, I don't think so. My brother is supposed to pick me up but he hasn't texted me yet, besides I don't think he would be awake and up at this hour. Why?"

"Can you give me a second?I'll be right back" I asked and not waiting for reply I started to walk in direction of where Jurij and the rest were seated.

When I got to our table, practically entire food was already gone and everyone seemed to be sipping on their second mug of coffee. What only motivated me even more to pursue my plan.

" Guys, I have something to do. I need to go somewhere, I'll be back before leaving."

" Peter, you're not even packed?" - Jernej mentioned while sipping on what seemed to be spinach smoothie.

" I'll do it in 10 minutes, I really need to go somewhere. If anyone needs me just say I'll be back at 12"

Not waiting for anyone's approval, I turned my back on my colleagues and waved in the " bye gesture"

I could hear Tepes saying " It's about that reporter girl again" but I didn't care, I had a huge smile on my face when approaching Cindy.

" Can you tell me what's going on?" - she demanded.

" Do you think it's going to rain today?" - I ask.

" Peter! " She giggled again. " You can't just reply to my question with another question" She stood, with both of her hands on hips. "I'm not moving untill you tell me, what's going on."

I had to give up. She had a very bossy character that always appear to be taking over any situation. Yet another thing that seemed to be her good feature that attracted me to her even more. With a girls being so perfect inside and out I was beggining to think what is wrong with her and why would she spend her time talking to me.

" I still have some time, so I thought I will take you on a walk where you can ask me these questions that you have mentioned ealier..." - she was now slowsly walking towards me, trying to fish the cuff from the sleeve of her jacket

" What made you think I'll want to go with you?" - she asked, squinting at him dissaprovingly.She was now fully facing him and there was now just a few small steps distancing them from eachother.

" I..." - I glanced at ther shoes as I was now too scared to look her in the eyes. I knew this will happen. Why would a girl like Cindy want to spend time with a guy like me. I felt a strong punch in my chest. My heart was racing and my body started sweating again.

" Oh" - She started laughing. " Hey,did you" - She tried to build a sentence in between her now histerical laugh but with no greater success.

I looked up just to see her laughing even harder.
