They both looked like children entering FAO Swartz for the first time: mouths wide open, eyes huge, and slightly confused about what to do next.
¨Do you come here often.¨
Andrea, who was always bold and desisive, made the first move. She has always been ready to take on new challenges, explore new sorroundings. That is why she came to New York a year ago; to make it on her own, away from her parents expections and the constraints of small town life. As she posed her question to the suprised but pleased stranger infront of her, she exudes confidence, in the proud way she holds her sholders back and her head high.
This confidence and boldness shockes Rodney, but it intregues him. He is used to women melting infront of him. He is accostumed to sweeping unsuspecting girls off their feet with a smooth pick up line, but this woman caught him off gaurd. She was beautiful: tall and lithe, like a dance, grace and strength juxaposed. She looked almost regal, standing with perfect but relaxed posture, her braids framing her face gently, held back by a simple gold band. He knew he couldn´t use some cheesy line an a creature unique as she and he hesitated. She waited patiently for an answer but she was confused when his reponse was so slow coming. Rodney wasfeeling stupid and out of his element. He decided that the simple truth would be the best way to go.
¨I did, but I left the city for a while. It´s good to be back; thank god some things never change. What about you? Do you frequent this place?¨
Andrea was immediatly interested. His voice was smooth, as if it has been polished by years of practice infront of a crowd of admirers, but sincere at the same time. He was mysterious, but Andrea knew he was open to probing. And he wanted to know about her! Andrea was both delighted and suprised. She was only accostumed to encountering men who enjoyed the sound of their own voice, and only asked questions to appere ¨sensitive¨. Andrea grinned to herself and replied,
¨I love it here. It´s so traquil, and you never know who ya´ll run into.¨
He smiled a smile back, but continued to examine the Egyptian tomb infront of them, for he was not quite sure how to percede. They studied eachother more than the artifact, but tried despratly to appear nonchalant. Finally Rodney ventured to continue the conversation,
¨Amazing how something this beautiful could be used to house death.¨
Andrea is suprised by this deep comment. She was certain she wanted to get to know this interesting stranger more. She responded,
¨Maybe they saw it as a beautiful passage into something new, something better,¨
Rodney was intruiged. This woman was obvously beautiful, but also intelligent. She was poised and graceful. She was the closest thing to perfect he would find, and he wanted to know her better.
¨Would you like to grab a coffee in the café down the street? I would love to hear more about your therory. I´m Rodney, by the way.¨
Andrea responded:
¨Andrea, and I would love to, but I´m meeting someone here.¨
They gaze at eachother, wanting coffee more than they have ever wanted coffee in their lives, when they hear:
¨Great! I´m so glad the two of you have finally met!¨
