Meeting
Everything was just the same; I sat on the cold bench and smiled as people passed by. I thought how awkward this might be for her, writing a letter to a compete stranger and then meeting him the next day.
I placed the letter off to my side and stared off into the distance.
A couple hours passed, I was watching a father throw a Frisbee to his son while a lab ran back and forth trying to catch it. It looked like they were out on a picnic; the mom was sitting on a blanket laughing.
A soft voice startled me and caught my attention. It said

Hi, I am Emily

I looked to my left; I tried to snap out of the silence and threw a welcoming smile. I cleared my throat and said:
Care to sit?

She smiled and sat down handing me one of the two cups she held in her hand. Its hot Cocoa she said.
I brought it up to my nose and took a deep breath in; you could still see the steam wisping away into the brisk air.

It’s my favorite, thank you

 

We sat in silence for a while; we were both smiling and sipping on our cocoa… I took this time to admire her beauty. Her eyes were the most interesting part about her; they were a warm hazel color& mesmerizing.

Amazing isn’t it?
I’m sorry?
The view
Ah yes, I love it, especially the sunset.

 

She went to ask me if the letter offended me in any way. I said no heartily & then asked why she didn’t just come up to me in the first place. She blushed and shied away as she said she wanted to make sure that it was ok, she did not want to invade my space. I looked her in the eyes, smiled and said:

not at all.

It was starting to get late and she apologized she did not come earlier, and then asked if she could visit me tomorrow. It would be my pleasure I said. We both stood, she motioned for a hug, I accepted. Till tomorrow she said as she walked away. I smiled and waved.
