Until I'm Over You

Kalopsia

When I looked down where I was, I noticed a man picking up my mangoes!

"Hey! That's mine!" I said loudly.

He searched for the person who had yelled. I cut a small branch of tree and threw it at him because he couldn't see. He noticed me when he looked up at the tree.

"Ah, is this yours? I'm sorry. Okay." He was about to leave when I called him. He is not allowed to leave! I need help.

"Please, can you assist me with getting down?" I begged him.

"What will I get if I help you?" he asked, a smile on his face. This one is unmistakably arrogant.

"I'll give you my mangoes," I responded proudly. That is unequivocally what he desires.

"If only I couldn't get that myself, isn't there a better offer?" he grinned.

"Ugh. You're picky!" I growled at him. What can I possibly offer? I'm stuck on this tree.

"All right, go ahead and take care of that yourself." he arrogantly said. He was about to leave when I stopped him again. This man is extremely despicable.

"Fine! What do you want?" I angrily said.

"Hmmm," he muses, "You," he responds.

My eyes widened as he spoke. Please don't tell me...

"p*****t!" I lashed at him. I couldn't believe I almost— almost fell into his trap!

"Sheesh. You are assuming," he yelled, and I fell silent for a moment.

Sarcastically, I replied, "Ha-ha, don't play dumb."

"I just want you to be my friend. Tsk, never mind". He was about to walk away when I stopped him, again.  In the first place, why did I assume that he was a perv? He does not look like it.

"Wait! Fine. I'm fine being friends with you." I told him calmly.

"All right, then jump." he coolly said.

"W-what? Jump? No way! Do you want me to die?" I yelled at him. I am panicking now. I thought he was going to grab the stairs or something. Now he's telling me to jump? This is absurd.

He laughed and cockily said, "Hmm, you won't die. Just fractures. That’s all.”

"You are cold-hearted!" I sobbed.

"Tsk, just jump!" he yells, annoyed. The nerve of him! If he's irritated, I am enraged!

"I'm going to break a bone there! Are you insane?" I shot back. I can't believe I'm crying in front of this arrogant stranger.

"I'll catch you, dimwit." he said.

"What?" I asked, wiping away my tears.

"Really? Are you kidding me? Then when I jump, you'll laugh at me? I'll haunt you, I swear!" I exclaimed. How could I be sure that he'd be able to catch me? I don't trust him!

"Will you jump or what?" he exclaimed, and to my surprise, I jumped instantly.

Oh, no!

When I blinked, I noticed a handsome face. Is it possible that I'm already in heaven? I'm seeing an angel now.

"See? I caught you," the angel spoke-- I mean, this guy, and he took me down.

"Oh! Right. Thank you." I blushed.

He's very attractive! Is this the man I accused of earlier? Sorry, my bad. 

"By the way, I'm Charity." I introduced myself and held out my hand to him.

"Ryle." he introduced himself and we shook hands.
