That evening, she had decided to go out but alone. She wanted to enjoy some time for herself. She entered a little bar where some music escaped. There were a few groups of people who enjoyed their evening with friends or family. She went to the bar andordered
a martini. When she was served, she enjoyed the nice music and closed her eyes, letting it overwhelm her. It was nice to have a relaxing evening. She reopened her eyes and watched the crowd around her. Suddenly she saw him. He was close toher
at a table with friends, smiling. He had brown short hair and hazeleyes. His dimples smile made her heart skipped a beat. He was so handsome and seemed so kind. Perhaps she was going to talk him, finally she decided against it. She emptied herglass
and left. She wasn't ready .
She thought about him a lot lately . He was very attractive. He was the kind of man she liked. But she wondered if she could appeal him. She doubted her beauty and especially herself because she had not had a lot of boyfriends and her relationship hadleft
a bad taste in her mouth.
That day, she came back home after work. She slowly walked in the street, enjoying the sun. She turned her head and there he was, smiling. She wasn't sure it was to her but she smiled too. She looked at him, hesitantly. Was she going to go to talk tohim
or not? She hadn't time to decide. A man bumped into him and spilled his coffee all over his shirt. He was surprised. She giggled.
"Poor guy!" she thought.
She wouldn't talk to him today. Fate had chosen for her. She kept walking, looking at him one last time.
One week later, she was quietly walking, enjoying the sweetness of the night and the peaceful street after a long day at work, when suddenly someone pushed her hard. She lost her balance and her ankle corkscrewed. She grimaced in pain, and someone tookher
by the arm. She secretly hoped it was him; she didn't know why she had that thought but she did. She finally turned her head and saw Charles, her long-standing friend.
"Elizabeth, are you alright?" He asked, the concern could be read on his face.
She sighed with disappointment, put a false smile on her face and answered.
"Oh, Charles. Thank you for your help. I'm fine but my ankle is a bit sore."She explained.
"Come on. There is a bar across the street where we can sit and you can rest. I'll drive home after. Would like something to drink?"He nicely askedher.
"An orange juice will be nice."She said.
They crossed the street; she sat at a table and Charles went to the bar to order. She looked around her and then she saw him, getting up and leave. The sadness took over her face and her heart screamed "Don't go!" .At that instant, she decided that, thenext
time, she will see him, she would talk to him.
And then Charles was back and she was not very happy because she knew he was falling in love with her but she wasn't and found him a bit too much persistent despite numerous comments.
She didn't think she would see him so quickly but next day, when she was in the park with Charles to explain him that she wanted him to keep his distance, otherwise she wouldn't saw or talk to him, the handsome man was coming towards them. She was laughingbecause
of a little lock of hair which twinkled the back of her neck. In a few seconds, his facial expression changed, it seemed, just when he saw them. He went past them without a glance.
Then she knew she had to turn down Charles once and for all and find this man of whom she was falling in love.
After a month without a sign of him, she was thinking thatshe had missed her chance whenever she saw him. It frustrated her a lot because she was attracted and she hadn't felt something like that before.
She was lost in her thoughts when she entered the shop, suddenly she bumped into someone. Then she looked up and he was there. She smiled and apologized immediately. Her heart skipped a beat, she had met him. Maybe fate hadn't decided to pull them apart
/after all. It was her luck.
"Oh! I am sorry, I am so clumsy."She apologized.
He smiled at her showing his dimples.
"No, no! That's all right! I…" He began.
She was ecstatic, that was her luck and then his cell phone rang. He took his phone, look at it and sadness took over his features.
"I am sorry, I had to go." He whispered.
He quickly moved away picking up his phone and he disappeared in the corner of the street. She stayed there, cursing the fate which played with them. And she didn't know if she would see him again one day.
