especially when a man
shows appreciation for it.’
        
     ‘That’s a little too flattering.’
    
    Michael
got off his bike while he kicks down the bike’s stand with his boots. Still
keeping the eye contact with her admirer he says, ‘Doesn’t I speak of the
truth?’
    Samantha
felt lost in seduction. Speechless and paralyse by her words she stand still.
She had run out of words. Michael made a short step towards her.
    Then
he says, ‘It would be my pleasure to take you out. Would you like that?’
    ‘Are
you trying to take me for a date?’
    ‘A
sort of….’
    ‘Ok,
I got to think about it though.’

    She
was still on my mind and I could not let her go. The feelings I had for her
were unexplainable. I had been lonely for too long. I thought about her
companionship and how wonderful it would be to share our feelings for each
other. Every relation has a starting point. Ours was at an infant stage.
    I
scan the road on either side for oncoming traffic before I went across. Then I
found myself back through the alley where I fought the gang. Claustrophobe
feelings of the enclosed area send brutal memories of the attack. I ride out of
the alley at a racing speed and come to a halt at the traffic light.
    At
the other side a few metres away I could see her. Except that there was
somebody else talking to her. He was well dress but I couldn’t tell who it was.
Riding away was an alternative but I wanted to know if she would like to go out
with me.
    Amber
and green, then the traffic light displays green light. I step off the bicycle
and walk across with it. On the other side of the road I take my time. Nobody
notices me as I walk into stealthy and silent mode. She tries to walk away.
    ‘Samantha,’
Michael said.
    She
turns around and replies joyfully, ‘Michael.’
    ‘We
should definitely go out together.’
    ‘Why
should I?’
    He
slowly moves towards her, hold her hands softly, stares deeply in her eyes and
says, ‘Because I like you. You’re simply irresistible like chocolate.’
    ‘Am
I?’ she responds softly.
    Michael
slowly moves closer to her while both of them stares into each other’s eyes as
if they were lovers. Suddenly they both kiss each other with a passion of love.
They hold each other’s hands tightly as they share their feelings for each
other.
    Though
I was close enough to be notice none of them seems to care of my arrival.
Samantha’s eyes were shut but Michael was not and he could see me. He pretends
that I wasn’t there and crack on while I stares mute in disbelief.
    Tears
of pain wanted to roll down but I take it in. My eyes were watery beyond my control.
A shame was how I felt. I didn’t know what to do or how to react. Afraid of
being rejected again was another aspect of fear.
    ‘Are
you still going to stand there and watch us?’ Michael asked in a sarcastic
tone.
    Samantha
quickly stands slightly away from Michael and says, ‘Phil, I didn’t know you
were in the neighbourhood?’
    I
remain quiet as I try to control the strong emotion of betrayed. Deep down
within my guts I feel low and down. The sadness automatically drives my tears
down.
    ‘Are
you deaf she’s taken,’ Michael said.  
    ‘Don’t
have to talk to him like that!’ Samantha responds.
    ‘Sorry
for bothering both of you….and I insist…..you may as well carry on what you
were doing,’ I deprecates.
    Michael
smile, stare at her and says ‘Shall we?’
    ‘You’re
very cruel!’ She replied.
    ‘Just
a survivor,’ Michael said.
    ‘I’m
sorry Phil, I didn’t mean to heart you but I shall make it up to you.’ She said
with regrets.
    ‘No
you don’t have to,’ I replied.
    ‘What
do you mean?’ she asked.
    ‘Never
mind him he’s a loser,’ Michael said.
    ‘Shut
up!’ she screams at Michael.
    ‘Alright! Chill, girl!’ Michael
responded.
    ‘How
do you repair a broken heart which was already yours?’ I replied by questioning
her integrity.
    ‘We’ve
just known
