It was Saturday morning. Mitchell went down to the living room and sat in the couch. He picked up the remote and went through the channels. Nothing of interest. He turned off the telly, and looked at the clock; 7.30 – he had an afternoon shift at the hospital, which started at 12 o'clock, so he had to find something to do in the meantime. Annie was still asleep, and George was at Nina's. He went into the kitchen, and looked in the fridge. It was pretty much empty. Might as well go shopping, he thought, so he went up for a quick shower and change of clothes, and then he left.
It was a very quiet morning; not a lot of traffic, hardly any people on the street, but he didn't mind. Sometimes quiet was nice.
He got to the supermarket, there were maybe.. 10-12 costumers; a rare sight. He took a cart and went in; he put a few things into the cart: Diet Coke, jam, orange juice. He stopped at the fruit and vegetables to get some bananas. On the other site of the bananas stood a familiar face; this young brunette, with sparkling blue eyes was getting some bananas as well. Mitchell had seen her in the supermarket lots of times; they always smiled at each other, but he didn't actually know her name. There was something about her, though: Mitchell had noticed it the first time he saw her.. she was definitely something special. Maybe I should try talking to her? I mean.. we've met lots of times, but never actually spoken, so what harm would it do?.. she always smiles, so she's probably not against it?
"How are you today?" she asked him.
"Ehm, fine, thanks.. just doing some shopping before going to work." He answered with a weird smile.
"Right, well.. see you around" she replied, and walked away from the bananas.
Mitchell finished his shopping and went back to the flat with the groceries.
Annie was sitting on the couch, watching some documentary about theatre and cinematography. Mitchell went into the kitchen and put the different things where they should be. He went back into the living room, and sat down beside Annie.
"Did you know that the oldest still running theatre in the world is placed in some small town in Denmark, called Korsør" she asked, trying to pronounce the name of the town, which made it sound like she was choking on a mix between spit and her own tongue.
"No, Annie.. why would I possibly know that?" Mitchell replied.
"Well.. it's general knowledge.. trivia!" Annie said, and smiled.
"Oh, right.. general knowledge; so how much of that stuff did you actually know beforehand?" Mitchell asked teasingly.
"I knew.. some of it.. I think.. I'd just forgotten about it..?!" Annie replied.
"Okay.. wanna watch something else?" Mitchell asked.
"Sure.. just put on what ever you want.. I'm open to anything." Annie replied, while Mitchell got up, and went over to the shelf with their DVD's.
There's no need to tell me that the name of this chapter is LAME - but by chapter 2 and 3, I knew I wanted them all to have a title, and I couldn't really think of anything else for this one :P
I really want to know what you think of the story - love it? - hate it? - maybe what you'd like to see happen!?
I'm not sure how all of it will turn out yet; I have some notes with scenarios I want to include, but that's all - and at the moment I'm stuck in the middle of chapter 4 =/
