Under The Lovely Purple Umbrella

He stares, she stares. “Sorry”. She walks away, he walks behind. Ten minutes later, “Did you wanna say something back there?” “WTH!” She speedwalks inside her house. He waits outside for a few seconds, then turns around and leaves. The next day she steps out side . “Shoot I forgot my umbrella.” She grabs it and stares at it for a few seconds. Flashbacks of last night cross her mind. She heads to work, he waits for her. The first rain drop rushes to the ground. “Shit” she openes her lovely purpule unbrella. He from a few steps away looks at her standing by her lovely purpule car. “I’m still waiting for a response” she panics and ignores. He confused still follows her. “Please. Please leave me alone you creep.” His heart got hurt by her words. “You know cursing is bad right?” He smiles when she stops and turns around. “When have you heard me curse?” “Yestarday. When I followed you home” she shakes her head and just keeps walking. Then stops for a moment one more time. “Last night, I just wanted to give this back to you. It fell but I thought it was pointless giving it back. Look, if you knew I had it you should’ve just asked to give it back Alr?” She walks towards him. The ran

She stares at his eyes extending her arm with his wallet. “Oh, I wasn’t aware that my wallet was missing.” She rolls her eyes. “Can you just freaking take it?” “Sure.” He takes it and doesn’t leave. She turns around and accidentally smacks him with her lovely purpule umbrella. “ um, I think you hit me.” She doesn’t care. She walks away, “just like a model” he says to himself. The smile ends with a smile, but it’s just the beginning.
