The previous two nights he had seen the jaded woman the one that wouldn't speak to or see him and in the meantime, he had reaped the ill effects of his flirtations with the Alpha girl and this night, this night there she was, the blonde she was walking up the stairs as he descended she was with her friend, leaving their film as he went to his He saw her, but it took two steps before he was sure it was her He looked at her scarf, white with a small print He didn't look anywhere else, waiting for her to raise her eyes Something had compelled him that night to wear the color he wore for her Beneath his black leather jacket, bright green beamed the color in which he looked best from his heart beamed green from his heart beamed the green from his chest He quietly spoke her name in the crowded stairwell she got closer, her eyes started to rise He touched her arm lightly and spoke her name again She looked up and smiled at him He was stunned, no woman's smile compared They stopped, chatted, talked asking what movie they were seeing "That's sweet", said she, in her gentle voice he smiled, looked down, a little embarrassed a force was pulling them apart time and other obligations, like from the start Her friend's absence pulled her up the stairs the flow of traffic, pushing him down into the crowd and so they parted, he couldn't look at her as he said goodbye he could feel her still looking at him as she said sweetly, "see you" He got to his seat, sent her a message, told her she looked great, beautiful as always, when she smiles at him the lights of the movie house dimmed and he received her reply his phone spoke... "the force will be with you" He hadn't noticed, but the theater was filled all but the one seat, next to him He turned as if she was there next to him and in the air, the scent of her neck, her hair the scent of roses was there the scent of roses was everywhere... |
