There is one thing I hate doing and that is doing my own grocery shopping, well I wouldn’t even call this grocery shopping because my trolley is full of beer, cereal specifically weetbix, milk and the last thing on the menu is apricot jam.

I turn the corner, and there is my apricot jam, it is the last one on the shelf, as I am about to take it someone else takes it before me, I look up now annoyed “I got here first.”

The lady rolls her eyes as she place it in her shopping cart “I didn’t say be slow.” She said and turned around leaving me there.

The first thing that came to my mind was how beautiful she is, damn she really is beautiful and feisty too. Normally I would have put a fight but I couldn’t, not with her.

Standing on the line I was behind her, she smelt of roses. Just as the cashier finished scanning her items I quickly gave her my credit card.

The lady now looked at me with annoyance, but I just smiled. She angrily packed her stuff and walked out.

I saw her putting her groceries in her mini cooper just as I got out.

When our eyes met she angrily stomped into my direction and pointed her finger on my chest “Look Mister, I don’t care who you are but I don’t appreciate what you did back there. ” She took out her purse “How much do I owe you?”

“Nothing.” I said and walked past her “It was just a nice gesture.” I said putting my grocery inside the car “It was nice seeing you.” I said and drove off.

I know that I should have asked for her numbers or her name at least but knowing me, I know that I will find her and I will make sure that I do.

When I drive off I still see her standing there looking at me, I let a small smile play on my lips as I look at her before she disappears into view.

I shake my head slightly and tap my fingers lightly on the wheel, I can’t remember the last time a girl made me smile like this.

For as long as I remember I have been alone ever since Busi walked out of my life, I have found it difficult to move on.

Busi was all that I knew and when she left, she left me so broken that I was sure that I would never be able to look twice at another woman and then she came along.
