Now she regreted she let the chance slip, in front of her own two eyes.
When she saw the tall young man at TJs stacking blueberries, strawberries and
what not, she had the weirdest feelings for ages. She wanted to look at him,
look at him closely so that she could decide if he is handsome or pretty, but
she was also extremely anxious, fearing that he might notice her sneaky eyes.
Walking around like a puppy trying to catch a squirell, she eventually ran
away from the vegetable section. It was two, three months after she, for the
first time after breaking up with the asshole ex, was completely enthralled
by feelings. Excitement, embarassment, but most of all, admiration of beauty.
he very first time she saw him, in TJs, was two, three months ago with a girl.
They looked like girflfriend and boyfirend buying wine and cheese for New
Year's Eve. The whole store was as empty as dead; they are the only customers
doing last minute shopping. She was tormeted by the endless work and just
wanted to take a stroll to relax; TJs was one of the only two shops opened
at 5pm on December 31. She followed the young man and his girlfreind for a
little, but it would be too obvious, so she gave up. The store clerks announced
that it will close soon, she decided she still needed some more walking, and
the only option would be the nearest pharmacy which is 24/7, an oasis in a
wintry night.
She drove very very fast, so fast that she was trailling the only other car
on the cold, empty road. A white car looked like her first one, the car she
had many bittersweet memories
