As my right hand quietly scrolling on my newsfeed in facebook, my other hand is busy feeding myself with cheese burger. I feel so satisfied and relax despite the fact that I am setting in the room full of people, also busy eating their lunch or snack in the busy fastfood area. Today, it's unusually busy with a lot of people around. There must be an event nearby.
As I was scrolling, I stopped with a certain picture of a couple. It's a close up shot of Harriet with her long time boyfriend. They look soo good together and they look soo happy with each other. I wonder if I will ever have one. At the age of 25, I never had a boyfriend. I'm always just in the getting to know stage, like constant chatting at first, a simple date outside. Then all of a sudden, it just stop. And I think the problem is me. I just couldn't do it. I just don't feel being in a relationship.. or I just haven't found him yet. The one.
"Ahem!"
I startled. It seem someone is standing in front of me and I just noticed it. I raised my eyes to see a guy wearing a white shirt with black cap. He is looking straight at me with those round eyes. He has pointed nose and thin lips. His skin is fair white. And what really caught my attention is his little moles in his face that is put in the right places. One on the upper right chick, just below his right eye. And one on the left side of his left eye just like the mole of the actor Piolo Pascual. I don't know why but I find it attractive.
"May I sit here?" He asked.
I suddenly feel embarras by staring at him like an idiot.
"Yeah Sure! I'm alone."
It would be nice if he ask to set here with me because he find me cute but it seems that no table is available anymore as I look around.
"Thank you." He muttered.
He put down in the table the tray of food he ordered. Fried chicken with rice, spag and a coke. He started eating as soon as he sit down. He must be hungry.
I continued my scrolling in the phone and eating my burger. I can see in the corner of my eyes that he is very focused on his food. Sometimes, I glanced at him. I just can't stop myself looking at him. There is something about him that made me want to look. He is like a magnet. He have this kind of invisible force that made you draw closer.
I startled again when suddenly he look back at me.
I feel embarras again for staring at him intently and I did a big mistake. I said something stupid.
"Sorry for staring.. It just that you look so familiar.. Like I've seen you before.."
Do I just sound a dude hitting on a girl I just met? So stupid.
"Really?" He asked.
"Yeah.. I think.."
Just shut up Claudia!
"Okay.."
I must sound so weird to him.. Why am I acting like this to this guy? I must redeem muself.
"Do you usually eat here? I must have seen you before." I said.
"Yes I do. But it's kinda crowded now I can't sit in my old spot. By the way, thanks for sharing your table."
I nodded and release a quiet smile.
"I see.. That is why you look familiar. I always eat here."
Why I haven't noticed him before if he always eats here.
We remain quiet while eating our food. Time flies and he has to go. He finished his food and leave. But before he leave he look at me and said his bye and thank me again for letting him to sit with me.
That's the start. I keep coming back on that fastfood chain just to wait when he will come back and eat there again. I think at the age of 25, I just had a crush on a random guy I sit with the fastfood chain. I don't even know his name!
