Forgive Me. TWO
"Yes?" I roll my eyes,
not wanting to flatter him too much. I walk back to his table,
and he points to his already empty coffee cup. I pour him a cup,
and his bright eyes look into mine. I feel something, but I shake
it off, my boss probably turned up the air system. He giggles a
little bit, and stands up. He hands me a napkin, and a small
tip.
"It's Radley by the way," He pushes open the door.
"Bye." He walks out into the crisp autumn air. I open
up the napkin, it has a number, the date, and handwriting saying:
Meet me in the park, after you get out of work, we could get
to know each other. I smile, and get back to work. After
about four hours, my shift is over. I grab a coffee, and get in
my car. I drive past the park, and see Radley on a bench, his leg
nervously shaking. I park my car on the side of the road, and get
out. He sees me instantly, and smiles. He walks over to me,
and hesitates to take my hand.
"Why are you doing this?" I take out a cigarette, after
a long craving. I light it, and he walks away. He laughs to
himself, and mumbles something I can barely hear. "Why'd
you want me here?"
"You seemed so outgoing, and beautiful. I knew it was too
good to be true." He keeps walking away. "Smoking is my
biggest turn off... My mom died of lung cancer two weeks
ago."
"Wait, Radley..." I put out my cigarette, and put a
piece of gum in my mouth. "I'm so sorry, but please, get
to know me. I'd love to get to know you." I walk
closer to him.
"I can't stand smoking," He apologizes. "It
just reminds me too much of my mom."
"Weird," I say. "Smoking is the only thing that
reminds me of my mom." I sit down on the bench, he comes
over, and sits down next to me.
"I'm so sorry...." He says, his voice sounding so
deep, and assuring, it sends chills up my back. I convince myself
that it's just the wind. It's too early to 'fall in
love'.
