FINDING HER
1303 Words
"Are you following me?" She asked as she approached the car.
"Well, hello to you, too." I smiled again, "And no, I'm not following you. Although it would be an interesting hobby. "
She looked at me with great, obvious distrust in her eyes. Please don't kick my car again. I certainly won’t forgive that twice. She smiled as if reading my mind.
"Don't follow me," she said shortly. "But I'm glad to see you again."
"I will not follow you." I was conciliatory. "Can we go for coffee?"
"Right now?" She looked at me conciliatory.
"If you're in a hurry, I can take you ... I'm not busy."
I got out of the car just so I could see her in its entirety. Holy Mother of God! She's small. Fragile. But it burns with some strange flame that protects it from the rest of the world. I stammered like some teenager seeing a breast for the first time.
"I'm Victor," I said when I could make a meaningful sentence.
"Nalla," she smiled and held out her hand. "And I'm sorry I kicked your car."
"We'll forgive you if you take the passenger seat." I winked. "Come on, let's go for coffee."
She squirmed sympathetically in the comfortable seat of the Audi. I saw the nervousness in her eyes. Okay, man, get together! And if you want something with her, you'll have to wait ...
"Just so I know, how old are you?" I asked as I stopped at a traffic light.
"17 in two months," she smiled.
"Babygirl, I wonder how much s**t I'm getting into." This is going to be pretty f****d up ...
"First, you don't have to roll over for a coffee."
"I was looking for you," I admitted as I parked the car. "Actually, I spent yesterday in front of the high school."
"You're a little upseting, you know," she smiled. "May I go out now?"
"Don't try to run away." I laughed. "I will catch you."
"And I'm going to scream. And, look at the miracles, you're in trouble again. "
"f**k, you're such a tricky player." I rubbed my chin. "Coffe won't drink itself."
When we got out of the car, I turned around and looked at her before I could move my legs. She ran her hand along the side of the car and smiled. She didn't say anything, she just looked at me with those eyes of hers ... f**k, I'll dream those eyes for a long time. She was not a talker, she preferred to listen. She sat across from me and listened to all the s**t I could think of in an instant. She laughed, and I wanted to hear that laugh every day. I wanted to watch it every day. God, I'm going to f*****g jail for her! Or hell.
"And I'm trying to figure out how someone as calm as you becomes a darker," I said, wanting to get anything out of her. "And what the hell are you doing in elementary?
"I dress according to my mood, like everyone else probably does," she said disinterestedly. "And I do have sibling younger then me.”
"What can spoil your mood?" I laughed. "For God's sake, you're forbidden by law!"
"Maybe it spoils my mood," she smiled. "Let's put it this way, I want something and I know I won't get it for a while."
"Driver's license?" I drummed. "When's your prom?"
"You obviously went to school a long time ago," she joked.
"You could say ... I know it's May, but I'm interested in the exact date."
She looked at me with that "you seriously" look. However, until her graduation, there is only ... how much left? Half a year? Approximately...
"Twenty fourth. And please, don't think about it now ... "
We talked about various nonsense. I remembered my school days, and she laughed out loud. I wanted to see her more often and for longer. And I was ready to wait for her. Haha ... God, make sure no one hears this. But six months gives me room for various maneuvers. Meeting the parents ... we'll wait a little longer. Two hours passed when I realized that maybe I should let her go. Someone will be worried because she is late.
"Nalla, can I see you tomorrow?" I asked, praying for an affirmative answer.
"I could ... I'm finishing early tomorrow ..."
"Do you want me to take you home?"
"Better not. But you can take me back to the car. I have a bag left. "
An obedient guy, the way I am, I obeyed her request. I offered her my hand, which she accepted after looking closely at the situation. I liked it at first glance, and even more so at second glance. Always on guard. An idea came to my mind, I would get it out of that blackness even if my head fell off my shoulder. I wanted to see her without dark makeup and dressed in accordance with her young age. I wanted to meet that girl.
"May I ask you something?" I asked her as I stopped by the car.
"You can try ..."
"I'd like to see the real you tomorrow."
"Real me?" She smiled.
"Without makeup. The way a girl your age should look like ... "
The little girl didn't answer me. She took her bag out of the car and just gave me a short look instead of greeting me. Not even "see you". She just went towards the block of buildings where I lost sight of her. Smiling, I shook my head and went back behind the wheel of the car. Well congratulations, I thought, you find something you'll have to wait for ... I didn't start the engine until the ringing of my phone interrupted my thoughts. Thouhts ... there was more "Nalla,Nalla,Nalla". I answered without looking at who was calling me, and then I heard the voice of my best friend.
"Hey, pall, are you going out tonight?"
"Not really ... I think I was just struck by lightning."
"Are you home? I thought I'd stretch my legs a little ... "
"Legs or wheels?" I laughed. That man is too lazy to walk two blocks.
"Yes, well, you already know what I mean. Are you home or not? ”
"I'll be there in ten minutes. Just as you get out of bed. "
"See you."
Yes, Vlado will be coming soon and I thought I should recover. I'll see her tomorrow. I will try to see her every day. At least just intercepted her on the f*****g street. OK, that already sounded a bit manic now. I don't want to lock her down in chains.
Fool, start the engine, I ordered my brain. He will eventually arrive in my apartment before me. Which would be nothing new or weird. He already had the key. That, when I was not present, was his crib for f*****g. Realistically, parents don't have to know every girl. And the kind he brought, it would be safer not to meet any of them. Heart attacks were frequent in his extended family. Vladimir, a good young halfling, has actually been my friend since some of his youngest days. I would say that we went to kindergarten together, but, hell, in our time it was not an obligation, so we were both taken care of by our grandmothers. One of those who would never look for a girl in the long run. The slogan "when this passes, you won't even remember" is his guiding thought. We parked in front of my building at the same time. We laughed at each other and patted each other on the shoulder. Greetings without words. To me already today. We were silent until we entered the apartment. No one spoke all the way ..
