You casually back out of the movie theater parking lot… “thuddd” you hear a loud sound. “That didn’t sound very pleasant,” you say to yourself opening the door to your car.
“Oh no no nooooo,” you hear a guy cry.
“Did…I…hit your car?” you ask without looking in his direction.
“Yes,” he replied angrily.
“I’m so sorry,” you said walking towards him. “I am so sorry… I don’t know why I didn’t look in the mirror… I am soooo stupid..”
There was no reply. You looked towards him. He didn’t seem angry anymore. In fact there was sort of a shy smile on his face.
“Let me call the police so he could write a report.” You said dialing 9-1-1.
“Oh no… it’s okay. It doesn’t look that bad.”
“No…nooo there’s a huge dent. Okay.. let me call my insurance company.”
“No, seriously it’s fine. I can get it fixed myself.”
“That’ll cost you a fortune.”
“It’ll cost my dad a fortune,” he said with a calm smile and raised eyebrows.
“Oh…” you nodded your head returning the smile. “Ummm I’ll let you go..” You began to walk back towards your car.
“Umm excuse me…” he said.
“Yes?”
“Maybe..you could give me your number so I could contact you…in case dad refuses to pay?” h asked hesitantly. He played nervously with his fingers.
“Uhh.. yeah sure.. why not,” you replied. You handed a small piece of paper with your number on it.
******************************************
That night…
Your phone beeps- It’s a message from an unknown number.
“Hey.. its me! The person you met from earlier today…”
“I met lots of people today…” you replied knowing it was the guy you had hit the car of.
“I meant.. the guy outside the movie theater.”
“Oh..”
“Yeah…”
“So whatsup?”
“Yeah… dad said he won’t pay for it.. :(“
“What?? Really?? OMG I am so sorry.. okay I’ll call my insurance company right away”
Just as you were about to dial their number you received another text message from him.
“No … I was kidding don’t do that.”
“You scared me.. why would you that…”
“I’m sorry :(“
“Haha.. it’s alright.”
“So..I was wondering if you were free Saturday night?”
“Well that was very straightforward…”
A minute passed and there was no reply. Five minutes… then ten. You felt bad for saying what you did.
“You still there?” you sent another message.
“Oh you’re not upset?” he asked.
“No I thought I had upset you.. I was just joking.”
“Really? I thought I had come off as a creep. I shouldn’t have been so hasty.”
“Oh no I think I was being blunt. I would like to meet up this Saturday.”
“Who said I want to meet up?”
“What??”
“Haha I am kidding. Café Zuke at 7:30”
“Sure..~~”
************************************************
You arrived fifteen minutes before time unlike being fashionably late. To your surprise the guy was already there too. He waved at you from inside the café. Before you could reach for the door, you saw him lunge towards it and open it for you.
“Thank you,” you said slightly bowing. Both of you settled at a table in the corner away from everyone.
“It’s a nice quiet place. I didn’t even know it existed,” you said nervously.
“Are you nervous?” he asked.
“Nervous?” your voice broke as you repeated. “No..not at all.”
“My name is Luhan by the way…” he said while chuckling.
“My name is _________,” you replied with a shy smile. For some reason you felt over whelmed.
“So were you at the movies by yourself the other day?” he asked.
You nodded in agreement. “Yeah… I like watching them by myself. It’s more fun that way.”
“Don’t you get lonely?” he asked.
“Nope.. I haven’t really felt like that till now.” you said.
“That’s strange. I always have to have someone around me.”
“I guess we are the polar opposites..” you murmured.
“Not quiet..” he replied.
You looked at him for an explanation. “Look at the color of your dress… it matches my shirt.”
“That’s one thing,” you smiled a little. You could tell that he was really trying to make you feel at ease.
As the light blue sky turned a bright red and then finally a darker shade of blue, the two of you continued to talk. What started as an awkward conversation turned into something much more meaningful. He offered to walk you to the nearest MTR which you very graciously accepted.
“You know you are not as shallow as people may perceive you to be!” you said.
“Shallow? What do you mean? Why would anyone think that?” He asked a question after the other.
You thought for a while to come up with the right words. “What I meant to say is that you’re not like all those other pretty boys.” You said quickly hoping he didn’t catch what you had said.
“Did you just call me good looking?” he asked.
“Is that the only thing you got out of it?” you laughed.
“You didn’t answer my question” he said.
“Aish…ummm maybe,” you said increasing your pace. “My train is about to leave.”
“This calls for another date…” he said.
“A date? Today was a date?” you asked.
“Yeah…” he smiled with his eyes. You saw him blush but you couldn’t call him out for that since you yourself were blushing.
“I’ll see you later,” you said and quickly jumped onto the train.
It was a beautiful ending to a beautiful night.
