She wandered far infront as I obnoxiously tailed behind her. Moments later she skipped into a bend. It must have been pure luck to sniffed out the devil that easily. How dangerous is a women's sixth sense!
To my surprise, she smiled as she turned to look back. Why has that particular frame of her freeze in my mind? Have I accelerated faster than time? No I have not, quite the opposite. I stood firmly as she came closer, way too close.. The light breeze carried her hair far enough for a few strands to playfully flirt with my lips. Before, I could barely taste the sweetness of the touch, they gently slid down my face and back onto her shoulders. Throughout the entire time, my eyes were fixated on this pleasantly pretty face. She was
cute. Ponytailed wearing a striking red cap, like those avid baseball fan if you know what I mean.
She spoke in a foreign accent, American? I couldn't guess.. but it's definitely not local.
'Hi there! Do you know where's the nearest MRT station?' she asked politely.
It struck me hard. I truly regretted that very moment for not investing in a smartphone with googlemaps or heeding my mum's advice to recognize the Singapore streets. I couldn't answer, and told her that we could look for it together. She nodded in agreement.
I walked ahead, desperately wrecking my brain for a decent pickup line. Silence fell upon us as we walked between deserted temples and through abandoned buildings. It wasn't long before she told me she would head back and find an alternative route.
Well okay? What more of a loser could I have shown then? As she walked on, she turned and wished me Good luck! I copied the response. -.-"
As I continued moving forward, it wasn't long before I spotted the SMRT logo.
AH we should've exchanged numbers so that one could contact the other if we found a way out. WHY didn't I think of that..?
I never saw her again.. Would I never see her again..?
