Default The unexpected

This wasn't anything that was done already. I just made it up as I typed it up so I hope you enjoy it! Please leave comments.



He would walk in the store everyday. He had his same routine. He'd smile at me walk over the fridge get a bottle of water grab a newspaper pay me at the counter and then he would leave until the next morning. I like this guy but he never noticed me or so I thought. I tried having a conversation with him one morning when I noticed he didn't get his water.
"No water today?", I asked. He smiled at me.
"Yea. I didn't open my bottle yesterday." he replied grabbing his change. Before he left he looked at me and said, "See you in the morning Asha."


I could have sworn my heart skipped a beat. At least now I know he sees me. I may still be the girl at the store but he knows me and my name. Weeks went on the same and every now and then he would have a conversation with me. I was happy. I didn't even know his name but I felt we had a connection.

One night after I closed the store, I was walking to my car and I heard someone following me. I began to get real nervous so I walked faster. I fumbled with my keys to open my car and they fell to the ground. I tried to get them as fast as i could but it was to late. A man kicked them from in front of me and slammed me against the car. I tried to scream when he pulled out a knife. I knew I had to just take what was coming to me. I was still struggling to defend myself when he showed me the knife again. He pulled down his pants and mine and had his way with me.

I woke up the next morning with the memories of last night coming back to me. I looked around the hospital room and say my coworker/sister Rissy sitting next to me. She looked so scared and I assured her that I was ok. I wasn't though. I was violated last night and I didn't even remember his face. All I could see was the knife. The police came to take a statement but what I gave them wasn't any help.

The next week I was able to go home and relax. Being at the hospital was so stressful. I was feeling better but I didn't leave the house on my own. Rissy would call me on her break to see how I was doing. She told me that the guy was asking for me. She told me that I was at home recuperating since I was in an accident. Rissy said he was so concerned and his face was so white when she told me. I felt good that he cared.

The next day, i was still at home when the doorbell rang. Rissy must have forgotten her keys I thought. I looked through the peep hole and it was the guy. I opened the door and he smiled at me.
"Hi" I said
"Hey, your sister said I could see you." I let him come in. We walked over to the couch and took a seat. He sat next to me.
"She thinks she has to protect me but she forgets I'm older."
"So, how are you feeling?"
"I'm ok. What did she tell you exactly?"
"She said you were attacked." he said as he reached for my hand. He came and knelt in front of me.
"I was so worried when I found out. I was taking seeing you everyday for granted. I should have asked you out when I first saw you. I am taking the opportunity now. Asha would you go out with me?"

I couldn't believe my ears. He took seeing me for granted. I couldn't be mad since I did the same thing.
"Yes." I paused. I didn't even know his name. "I'll go out with you." We stood up and he kissed me on the cheek. I smiled at him.
We looked into each others eyes and I felt safe and cared for. He brushed some hair out of my face and placed his hands on my waist. He looked deep into my eyes, he leaned forward and kissed me. I had never been kissed like that before. It was so passionate and I didn't want it to end. He pulled away from me.
"By the way, my name is Sean."

THE END
