The slippery encounter
“Have we met before?”
“No mister i dont believe so ”
“that's strange because your gaze is for familiar and your eyes, gosh! There's something about those eyes that makes me think you see me, not just through your lenses but you see me through my skin and my mind, it frightens me because it's like you hear me before i utter any words.”
As he turns to walk away, she replies.
“i see you”
He stops turns back around and looks at her,
“sorry?”
Again she says it only this time sounding like a whisper
“i see you”
“but you don't, not like i mean it, you don't ”
They both stare at each other, two complete strangers feeling so close to each other, with a fraction of a distance between them they look at each other.
“do you have a name?”
“Julia” she replies not breaking the somewhat intense eye contact
“well julia im brian it's a pleasure to have met you”
He turns around walks away.
Julia just sits there watch as he walks away conflicted whether to stop him ask for his number or just let him walk.
Later he got home tired from work dont whether he'll ever see her again he is drowning in what he doesnt know whether is regret or love. From that day he remembers those eyes. Fingers crossed that it may happen again but the universe doesn't work like that.
That’s always the case
