A young man, in his late twenties going thirty sits all alone on a bench listening to the wind whispering by his ears. The sea shows its anger by hitting the shore and rocks hard, just like the beating of his heart. He holds his mother's picture in his hand, now sweaty and sticky, wetting the picture completely. In the picture sits a woman with black midnight hair, smiling happily with a small child on her lap. At the corner of his eye, he could make out a shadow of a human. The shadow was approaching him. As a reflex reaction, his body gets tensed up, like a tiger ready to jump and savour its prey. Then suddenly, the shadow stops moving. He turns to witness something he never dreamt of. Just a few footsteps away, a young woman rubs her foot hard on the ground, cursing words he never knew existed. She had long hair that swept her shoulders, jade green eyes, and the height of a model. Her tight mauve T-shirt showed her curvy features, her jeans perfectly showing her long slender hips and legs.
Jenny could not believe her destiny. To be fired from a job she has been doing all her life just because someone else had a better smile. And now, she has to step on chewing gum someone spat.
'Hello,I'm sorry, do you need help?'
Jenny lifts her head to see a man in torn jeans and faded T-shirt written "LOST".
'Yes, if you could remove this chewing gum from my heels with your mouth it would be great help.' Jenny replied sarcastically.
She didn't know what to think anymore, the man bent down and Jenny pulled her foot back when his mouth almost touched her beloved Jimmy Choo. Instead, the man reached to the ground and pulled a portion of the wet chewing gum.
'What are you doing? Do not touch that thing. It's disgusting!' Jenny screamed.
'Just as I thought, the chewing gum I just spat 15 minutes ago,' the man said with his eyes bright, like a child with a sweet.
'You are unbelievable!' Jenny stormed off. The last thing she needed in life was a lunatic.
What she didn't know was she had just caught this stranger's attention. And apparently, he was very in love with her already.
