Elma's P.O.V
I decided to go cool off after work. I didn't know why I kept thinking of that mysterious man i met at the woods. My mind was muddled and I couldn't just concentrate on anything, so I figured out that going to a quiet spot alone was the best. I decided to go to "Bay River" a popular river in town, known for its mild and peaceful atmosphere. I got to a corner and sat down. I stared at the few people there and their activities. Some were sitting quietly just like me, some were playing and some discussing, but that didn't disrupt the calm atmosphere.
I sat there for a while before staring into space, my thoughts drifting to the mysterious man and his demeanour. I was at it again, yearning for that once exciting moment. Everything about the man excited and confused me. I thought of those moments that kept me "thinking". By the time i regained myself, i realized i was the only one left there.
Just as i picked up my bag to leave, someone called me from behind.
" That voice. Am i hallucinating"
When i heard the voice again, i turned around, and my eyes met with a pair of sparkling brown eyes. I was more than surprised at what i was seeing, i blinked my eyes again to be certain. It was real.
"Hi, we meet again" he said as he moved closer to me.
'Oh no, that look'
It was the same man. The same man that occupied most of my thoughts. Someone i couldn't get out of my mind, and here he is, standing in front of me. "Damn"
I was still thinking of this when his words brought me back
"Heeey, don't tell me you've forgotten me"
"Forget!!! why would i forget someone that has been on my mind 24/7" i didn't say these words aloud for him to hear.
"No, am just surprised seeing you here" i responded.
"Okay, last time, we didn't end on a good note. Can we go somewhere and talk" he proposed.
I became hesitant once again and it seems like he noticed it. "Come on, i mean no harm, i promise, just a discussion".
I finally agreed and he took me to a spot that looks like a garden. We were the only ones there. After settling down, the man began:
" Nice to meet you once again, I am Colton Wayne"
"Nice to meet you too, i am Elma white" I said
"Sorry for what happened that day, it must have inconvenienced you but I don't regret doing that"
As soon as those words left his mouth, I looked at him. I was surprised hearing that coming from him, I didn't expect to hear a word like that from him but it unknowingly brought a smile to my face because I also didn't regret doing that. Though I didn't say that to him.
Our discussion went on and we agreed that we shouldn't shy away or resist whenever we felt an uncontrollable desire towards each other. I have lived many years of my life alone not having a slight interest in men, this is the first time I was attracted to a man so I felt that engaging in that kind of affair wasn't a bad thing. I discovered that this man has a cold side to him but that didn't affect his charm rather it added to it.
Staying with him for a while made me realize that he was actually the type of man that I love to be with, he gave me this tingling feeling that made me want to stay more with him. I chatted freely with him on topics concerning our lives and we got to know each other better.
