"Beautiful isn't it", I suddenly hear. I look to my left and see a guy I've never seen before.
He has a tanned skin tone, silky looking messy black hair, beautiful hazel-green eyes and is dressed in a white and blue horizontally striped shirt, blue jean shorts and a comfortable looking pair of black flip-flops.
I can't deny, he is good looking.
I look back at the sunset and nod. Then, he says: "May I?", looking at the free space on the bench, right next to me. So, in response, I nod again, giving him a polite smile that fades as soon as he sits.
