Love On Poppy Hill

one

There was an unnerving sensation that had arose from Joey's stomach when he saw his grandparents' house a few hundred meters from where he stood. With a dufel bag slung over his shoulder, he arched his back and let out a very heavy sigh. It was not his idea to spend his summer with his grandparents, but his mother had threaten him to be sent to boarding school if he didn't comply.

What was he supposed to do now? Drink tea and eat orange slices with his grandparents? He hoped not. He wanted it to be a fun summer, especially when he was just recovering from a nasty break up with girlfriend who has been with him for three years.

And the cause of the break up was a small misunderstanding about the manga he was reading about a woman falling in love for an eternity.

He sighed again as he trudged towards the house perched on top of a small hill. The air felt serene as it blew through him, letting his long curly hair fly in to the wind.

'I guess it is a nice change of scenery.' He said to himself as he stopped and took a quick breath in.

As he was nearing the doorstep, the sound of a car's engine made him stop and turn back, seeing an old lemon car move towards him. One look and he had already concluded it was his grandparents'.

The car stopped in front of him, it's engine dying like any old car would. Sad and depressing.

He bent down, seeing his grandpa's eyes shine with happiness as he layed his eyes upon him.

"Joey! My boy! You've grown up!" His grandpa exclaimed with a joyous tone.

"He grew up hot too." His grandma added, making him smile.

"Thank you, grammy." He says, giving them a big toothy grin.

"Well? What are you waiting for? Get inside the darn house and get settled in. We have so much to talk about ." His grandpa says and started the car again, leaving him standing.

Not long after, he followed, knowing he'd be in great hands.

Joey had settled in nicely, his grandparents' house was not what he'd expect from two old people. Their house was decorated with vivacious colors and lavish furniture that made him think what kind of life did they lived here.

After talking with them, Joey had decided to take some time adjusting to the place, take some air in and ventured far from he was staying.

He was slowly walking, with a book in his hands, and thoughts filled of the people he left behind, he decided decided to take a rest on the bench that had been place a few feet away from a cliff. Something about the sight attracted him so much. It was like he was being called by the soft whispers of the wind.

He sat on on the bench, taking in the fresh breeze and the amazing sight in front of him. He could see the buildings, the cars, and if you squint hard enough, you could see the busy people lugging around their old tired bodies to work.

He shut his eyes, leaning back against the cold wooden bench.

"Okay! I'm officially bored now!" He let out a scream.

"Well you don't have to be."

"Ah!" He shrieked loudly, surprised by the voice that popped out of thin air.

A giggle followed the sound of footsteps behind him. He turned his head, staring at the woman who was smiling down upon him.

She was small robust woman with well endowed breast and a curvy body. Her face, small and cute like a child's. Her eyes was a deep shade of brown, her lips tinted in pink and long flowing hair reached down her hips.

"Oh God, you scared me." He says.

"Oh, my apologies. It's just, it's uncommon for the folks to come here on Poppy Hill." She said. "Mind if I sat with you?"

"No, not at all. Please do." He said, giving her a polite smile.

He watched as she placed herself on the other side of bench. He was a few inches from her, making him feel undoubtedly weird.

"May I be frank I say, in all my life, I have never heard a man shrieked like a woman before." She laughed, covering her lips with the back of her hands.

He sat their, staring at the beautiful woman in front of him, wondering what had just happened.
