Someone Like Me
Introduction:
He waits outside of Lisa Reisert's apartment. He found her to be a peculiar and fascinating creature. She was so closed off in many ways and seem to delight in isolation. Yet, the curtains to her high-rise apartment complex were wide open. Perhaps, she figured that no one would be peering into her home, maybe the height gave her some sense of false security.
"Oh…Lisa." He quietly said to himself. Reprimanding her for her carelessness. Lisa's daily routine was simple, but rather sad. Now, it was 3 a.m. and she was scrambling eggs, which seemed to be her favorite midnight snack. He thought her behavior to be a bit odd, but then again, he wasn't really an expert on what was normal. He'd been monitoring her daily activity for eight weeks and had become accustomed to seeing how she interacted with the world. It had become his hobby, perhaps even an obsession of his. In truth, he had already gained enough information about her to effectively manage the situation properly. Yet, he found himself unwilling to stop his routine of watching over her.
He raked his hands over his tired eyes. He needed to get some rest, soon she would be leaving to attend her grandmother's funeral. It would provide him sometime to prepare for their encounter, and to get some much-needed time away from her. He needed to regain his perspective on the nature of their relationship. He glanced up once more to peer again into her apartment. She had finished cooking. Lisa stood while she ate her eggs at the kitchen's countertop. He thought that she looked as lonely, as he felt.
He exhaled an uneasy sigh. Things would forever change for her after her return. He would introduce himself to be a charming successful businessman, they would flirt, and he would continue to woo her with his insight regarding the things that she liked. Then once he received the call he will become nothing more than a monster to her, and she would loathe him. He couldn't deny the stabbing pain of hurt, that hit his chest, at the thought that in a matter of days the object of his affection would hate him. With acceptance, he realized that someone like her could never want someone like him. With the depressing thought upon his mind, he cranked his car and drove off; leaving her to her routine…. for now.
A/N: Okay, this is an older fanfic and I always wanted to write my version of events. However, I do not know if there is an audience for this story. If you want more chapters, please review and let me know how you like the introduction. If I do write more stories, I plan to have a very adult themed story. So be warned M rating will be necessary. Anyway, let me know…it is important if I am to continue this story. Concrete Lily.
