As I made my way to the grocery store I couldn't help but feel sadden by the thought that this could possibly be my life for as long as I live, the only time I would go out is if I have to get groceries or pay bills, in fact any type of errand my family had to get done, I was the one they would send, it was a lifestyle I grew to hate so much that any thought of doing it enraged me.
I stepped into the grocery store, grabbing a trolley, i then start picking up items and crossing off my list, I was a greeted by a few neighbors, as I was walking freezer section, I felt my legs give up, I slide across the floor due to what I assume was water, as I tense up my body and closed my eyes for the impact of the ground, I felt warm arms around my waist, I slowly open my eyes to see ocean blue ones looking down at me with a assuring smile, as he helped me up I couldn't help but stare, he was absolutely gorgeous, his chiseled jawline, his buff chest and arms printing through his shirt. He definitely wasn't from around here, I would've remember him,
"You okay?"
He asked in a gentle yet deep voice, I just nodded, I didn't have any words, this man had taken away my breath away and I was speechless,
"Hey?"
He waved his hands in front of me looking a little concerned, seeing that I haven't spoken a single word to him in the 4 minutes I've been standing her,
Y/n: "yea..I just...."
"You're a fan huh?"
I furrowed my eyebrow, a fan? I was a bit confused,
Y/n: "excuse me?"
He let out a low chuckle, he rubbed the back of his hair he seemed a bit nervous,
"I don't want to make a big scene, would you like a picture?"
My eyes widen and I was more confused than ever, I mean he's an attractive man but taking a picture with a stranger seems a bit weird,
Y/n: "why would I take a picture with you?"
"The walking dead? Norman Reedus ?"
By now he also had a confused face,
Y/n: "who's Norman Reedus?"
He let out a little sigh,
"I'm Norman Reedus, I'm sorry I thought you were a fan of mine, you probably haven't seen the show, I'm sure you're busy person"
Oh so he was some kinda movie star, which was kinda exciting but confusing seeing that I don't own a tv, I felt kinda embarrassed, he was being so nice to me and now maybe he wouldn't care seeing that I've never seen his show.
Y/n: "I don't have a tv.."
I said softly with my head now lowered, He must have noticed because he walked over to me, I looked up and he gave me a small smile, assuring me it was okay, which felt so comforting, his smell, his smile, his presence just made me feel safe even though I just met him,
"I know we just met but do you think you'd like to have dinner with me?"
Was I dreaming? Was he actually asking me out, for the first time someone who I actually thought was attractive, someone who didn't look like he needed a wife or someone to do his chores, seeing that he was grocery shopping on his own, an independent man, was asking me out, he was older than me by a lot but I was drawn to him, I wanted him and I craved him, he was my key out of here, he was my safe haven he was what I needed to be happy, some might say I was rushing it but I didn't care.
Y/n: "I'll meet you at Bob's dinner tonight 7pm"
