Friend by the road

Heart pounding, excitement arising. I was also pissed at the same time as my good night sleep interrupted by a phone call not even the alarm.She had never called and I never thought she would. "Hello Clay how are you doing?"she greeted. Her voice was the type of voice that would leave your heart melting, her smile the most beautiful of all and her character worth admiring . "I was asking if maybe we can grab some ice cream.My girlfriends are away and I'm that girl who doesn't love being alone. You coming?"she asked.What would I be if I turned down her request?It was time to take the chance and get some time with her,talk and have some fun.Maybe she felt the same. I had to dress well, have a second shower and put on some cologne.Within half an hour all was done and I was off to the cafe. She had told me to meet her there. I walked in and explored the cafe to find an angel among the customers but then I saw a group of three boys sitting at her favourite spot."Hey Clay meet the gang , here's my brother,my boyfriend and my other friend come on and say hey.Guys this is my friend Clay" Dissapointment took the best of me and instead of greeting them I pretended to pick a phone call,headed outside , quickly took my bike and rode off. For once I thought I was in love but turns out we tend to fall for those who do not feel the same. She didn't notice the fact that I expected it to be just me and her.I rode my bike in anger not caring about the road. Suddenly a grey,well pimped Bentley with awesome rims emerged out of the blues. My mind was so full of confusion that I had not seen it from afar judging by my rage. A car horn was heard followed by a loud screech which brought me back to my senses. I tried to press on the brakes but it was too late on my side to do anything . The car came to a sudden halt as I closed my eyes and while whispering a holy Mary. Suddenly a bang ! Followed by me flying across the road. I opened one eye to have a peek and to my surprise I had landed on the other side of the road as my bike lay damaged beyond recognition below the front tires of the car. My day could not get any worse than it already had I hoped. As I regained consciousness with no broken bone or twisted ankle ,just a scratch on my forehead,a young, beautiful and fine looking lady alighted from the car. She looked at the driver and shouted ,"for Christs sake Daniel what if you killed him?Learn to watch the road rather than just holding the wheel!"

The young lady walked to where I lay and stretched her tender hand towards me."Ooh sorry. Are you hurt badly?Some people just have eyes for decorations and bellies to fill,"she said looking back at the chauffeur. I could feel her soft grip on my palm as she helped me up. She looked fine with her gleaming blue eyes,long black curly hair and chocolate complexion. I wasn't thinking of the pain as I was busy scrolling my mind trying to figure out whether to say hello. "Don't worry about your bike we can get it fixed ,"she explained. Finally the world stopped spinning and I picked up my bike then replied, "no problem"

She held my elbow and said," I insist let me walk you to the repair shop. I'm Angie" The chauffeur insisted that she get back in the car but she rebelled and said ," but first let's fix your situation up here" she came closer and tried to wipe the dust off my wound. I had found myself lost in her enchanting eyes as if she had kept me under a spell. We went back to the car to get the first aid kit.I wasn't sure if she knew what she was doing but I didn't care. I twitched and she heaved a sigh and said,"oops! sorry I'll be careful " she kissed my forehead then continued nursing my wound. The repair shop was a bit kilometres away so she decided to walk me there. She helped me push the bike as we walked by the road talking and sharing. She was quite the company. We finally arrived at the repair shop . The repair man said it would take sometime to fix the bike so we had to wait. Angie held my hand and we ran outside. "Instead of waiting let's go have some fun I mean it won't kill if we do," she exclaimed. Earlier on I had told her what happened and she decided we go have ice cream to compensate for the one I ditched. As we stood on the bridge by the park a small river flowed below with water lilies floating on too among other gorgeous flowers she smeared some ice cream on me and ran away leaving me looking like a walking ice cream cake. I chased her and got pay

back then we fell on the grass watching the sun and clouds up the sky laughing and trying to imagine what they looked like . Hours had passed and we had to go back for the bike. "So your bike is fixed," she said then continued, "guess I'll see you around ?" I watched as she went back in the car. Luckily I knew I would meet her one way or another as she was from the same town as I and so was her school. Students thought of her as wierd but didn't get to know her better but some time with her proved all other rumours wrong. She was friendly,caring , gorgeous and fun to be with. Who knew that day I'd have a day with her? Not even I could believe it. It was the beginning of something new.
