Just Books

Color me curious...

 

Just Books

 

I saw her strolling down the

street

Eating an apple, not paying

much attention to her surroundings

 

Then our eyes connected

 

My cheeks got hot and I dropped

my head

I felt so guilty for my

curiosity;

I had a boyfriend…

 

I looked up again and her eyes

were sending me signals

I wanted to walk over to her

but I didn’t know what to say

She answered her cellphone and

giggled

For some reason I felt foolish

 

So there we were, mere feet away

from each other

I was across the street

in front of Borders Books

 

She took the initiative, sort of

 

I stopped breathing when she came

over towards me-

then passed me by and stared at the

many books in the window

 

“Who’s your favorite author?”

I heard a melodic voice ask

“Stephen King, then James Patterson”

I mumbled, hoping she didn’t see me

blush

“King is everyone’s favorite!”

 

I heard that damn giggle again!

 

She opened the door to enter the store

and stopped to turn around

“Are you coming in?” she asked

and it sounded so f*****g coy

“Sure…” I replied, trying to sound

so aloof

I texted my boyfriend,

telling I wasn’t coming over later on

 

“It’s just books… I reminded myself

“Yea right!” my insides chided back
