We finished up the night with Taylor ignoring our existents. Me and Spencer didn’t say much too each other we only spoke when she need to know where something was or what to do about a situation. And that was ok with me because I’m not a big talker. But that doesn’t mean I can’t look.

It’s been three weeks since the first time we worked together. Spencer still works in the entertainment department. While I’m still bouncing around to different departments every few days. Mario says I’m one of the few employees that now’s how every area operates. We’ve worked together since then still few words exchanged between use and when they are there work related.

Now I’m leaving the store to start my walk back to my apartment prying that I don’t fall asleep while doing my home work. Yup back in school. I know, sucks right. “Shit.” I just stepped outside into the dark night and what can I say it’s freezing. I put my gloves on and turn to start walking but is stopped by blue eyes and a warm smile.

We stand there for a minute before she speaks. “Hey.”

“Hi.” Is the only thing that comes to mind.

Yeah were back to the quiet staring and I can’t take it any longer, time to say good night.

“Well, I think I’m going to go. Good night Spencer.” I start to walk around her and see her eyes following me as I pass.

“Wait.” I hear her call out to me when I’m half way down the block. I stop and turn around and see her running toward me. She stops right and front of me and yup we lock eyes again. “You’re walking?”

“Yeah.”

“Why don’t you stay? My moms on her way she can give you a ride home.”

Yeah right like I’m really getting in a car with a stranger. Cute stranger or not.

“No thanks I don’t live that far.” She looks like she’s about to protest. “Plus I like to walk.”

“You really shouldn’t be walking by your self.”

“I’ll be fine.”

She turns her had from me and looks around thoughtfully. Then she looks back at me and smile. Ok what’s up this smiling business? “How about I call my mom and give her your address and walk with you. And she can pick me up outside when we get there.”

Now the cute stranger wants my address what next my phone number.  Hmm how would I feel about giving her my number? Think about that later tell her no.

“That ok, I’ll be fine. I walk home by myself every night.” I say slowly backing up to start walking again but she grabs me by the wrist to still my actions.

“No it’s not ok. I don’t want you to walk home by yourself. Anything can happen.” She let’s goes my wrist and then looks me in the eyes. “Please, let me walk with you?”

She’s not going to let this go.

“Ok.”

“Ok?” I nod my head yes. “Ok then let me call my mom.

She takes out her cell phone and calls her mom. I tell her my address and she tells her mom. They talk for a couple more minutes then she hangs up and looks at me. “Ready?” I just simply nod my head and we start back off walk to my apartment.
