Scars

Lost Wallet

Letting out an exhausted sigh, I walk to the chip aisle, looking for my routine late night snack. I grab a bag of classic lays potato chips to go with my sweet and caffeine filled cocoa cola. It was already 12 am but I have a paper due tomorrow, so I decide to grab an energy drink on my way to the cash register when a decent looking man catches my eye. I let my eyes roam over his entire which consisted of an all black suit that had the first three buttons undone showing a few lingering tattoos. I must admit it fit him, he was tall, pale and had a sharp jawline. I wouldn't be surprised if he got hit on every day. I mean, hey, if I was gay id tap that. He reached out his hand and grabbed a pack of cigarets from a hideously dressed employee. The man nodded thanks as he walked out of the glim convenient store. Watching him leave from the corner of my eye, I begin to fidget with the sleeve of my favorite black hoody. I ran a hand through my wavy brown hair letting out another sigh. I wasn't unattractive nor was I gay, In fact, I was considered popular with the ladies. I just wasn't interested in any of them of them.

Walking out of the store I plop a perfectly salty chip in my mouth as I felt the chill of autumn nights. The sweet aroma of barbecue filled my nose, making me eat another chip out of hunger. Thanksgiving was coming up so I'd finally be able to eat a proper meal. The only downside was I'd have to go to my parents.  I shiver at the thought, there's nothing I hate more than that place. I get pulled out of my train of thoughts when my foot makes contact with something, I looked down to find a black leather wallet. looking around to see if anyone was coming back in search for it,  I pick it up on open it. 

Yum, two perfectly crisp twenty dollar bills. I continue my walk as I decide to see who the good fellow who bought my dinner is. Zachariah Cecil, 27 years of age. He was quite good looking. I quickly ponder my options find the sexy mystery man from the store or leave the wallet but take the money. This was a very difficult internal conflict, not as hard as trying to find out what show to binge watch on Netflix but, still difficult. I let out a frustrated sigh as I put the money back and decide to drop it off at the police station. I really wish I wasn't a good civilian for once, I could have really used the money.

Walking down the chilly street I hear an ominous groan came from the park to my right. Being the curious kitty I was, I carefully approached the park to see who the possibly somewhat dangerous person was. to my surprise, it was just the man I was searching for. 

Slowly I approached the unexpecting napping man. Deciding not to wake him I lean over him trying to put his wallet in his pocket.  He did have really good features, I mean damn I wish I had that jawline. Looking closer I catch a glimpse of some freckles on his nose. I let out a sharp gasp as the man grabbed my hand and dragged me down on top of him.

"Why, hello there~" hummed the now awake man in amusement. 

"I-i was just returning the wallet I found!" I quickly explain justifying my previous odd actions. I really hope he doesn't call the police, I don't have time for that. I just want to get home. Feeling the man's chest rise as he chuckled I assume he isn't upset and let out a sigh of relief until I realize the position we're in. I look him in the eyes getting ready to say something when my eyes trail down to his perfectly plumped lips. Biting my own lip in frustration.  I'm not gay. I can't be gay. This man is just really attractive that all. Noticing my actions the man shifts under me, putting his thumb under my chin guiding my lips to his own.

As our lips connect I feel my heart jump out of my skin causing me to swiftly fall on to my butt as it made contact with the ground. Quickly I put my hand over my mouth guarding it against unknown forces.

"Aww, did I scare you~" The man teased as his eyes lite up with excitement.

"Why did you do that?!?" I questioned trying to hide my embarrassment.

"Hmm, because I wanted to." The man hummed pulling himself up so he was sitting in front of me with a mischievous smile.

"Okay, now that's.." before I could finish my question the man's phone starting ringing so he put a finger to his lip signaling me to be quiet. I couldn't help but glare at him, is he always this irritating or is this just a special occasion.

"Hello?" he asked deeply already irritated with the caller. "yes, I'll be there... I'm aware of the time... yes bye" he hanged up his phone as he turned his attention back to me.

"I'm sorry, love. I had to take that." 

"Umm, that's okay? I guess." I questioning replied raising an eyebrow. Why was he calling me love? Should I call the police or maybe a mental hospital? There was no way in hell this man was sane. He just kissed me a complete stranger and now he's calling me love. This has to be a joke, am I on 'What Would You Do' or something? Okay, where's the fat Italian man?

Liting a cigaret the man looked at me with mischievous blue eyes and chuckled.

"Can you stop staring at me, it's odd" I asked fidgeting with the sleeve of my hoody once again. What's wrong with me, I normally don't feel this nervous. Is it because he's better looking than me? 

"Sorry princess, it seems I have to leave." The man teased with a wink, as he put out his hand out for the boy still sitting on the ground.

"Don't call me princess" I grunted in irritation grabbing his hand as he pulled me up. Wiping off the dirt from my jeans as I mutter thanks.  

"It's no problem, doll"  The corner of my mouth tugs up as he threw me a dashing smile. Oddly his smile made me feel somewhat happy. There was something about the man he was strange but comforting at the same time. Walking in different directions we part ways. My thoughts were occupied by the mysterious man. Why was everything about him so odd. It was as if he was an entirely different species.
