I Was Raking Leaves Yesterday

The thing about living in a town instead of a city... When you need something from the store, you better have a car if you live in a town. NO corner bodegas that's for sure 

So lucky for me there is a gas station that has the basics on their shelf too. Bread... He only gets no more then 2 loaves in, and when I come there, no bread. You can beat believer if I'm ever in the store when the guy dies deliver the bread, I'm taking both loafs.

I walk the same way every time I go. Down the same block. Almost all the time I see this woman either leaving her car, or going into her car. The first time we crossed paths she said hello and then her name, which I stopped and I don't know why I said it's a pleasure to meet you. Maybe that is what opened the door.

She went in to tell me that I moved into the grey house in the corner... And that from my accent she could tell I wasn't from Virginia..which started a half hour conversation about her wanting to travel to New York City but.. But she is single and she heard that a single woman should never go there for the first time by herself. I told her you can, you just have to an ahead and know where you want to go and act like you have been living there all your life. Basically don't act like you're lost. She laughed at that part and said that maybe when the weather is nice that her and I could take a day trip there. I told that would be a great idea, just let me know.

So almost everytime I go to the store I see her. I don't jniw if she is waiting by the window and when she sees me coming she comes outside. I know it isn't that, but that what it seems like. Even she said something..we have to stop meeting like this. And I said, yeah people are starting to talk.Well yesterday I saw her and ahw asked me to bring her a ginger ale, just ring the door bell.

Coming back I have to admit I was neverous. Reason being a person standing in the side could tell we were flirting with each other. As I approached her steps she came out in the porch and said I want to see what your place is like. Okay by me. When I got to the back door she then said she hopes I didn't have a girlfriend...inside. Just like that, a pause after girlfriend then the word inside. I said no and no again and she laughed.

It's one big room, bed over in the corner, a 3 seater sofa and a dressers. She said it's cozy and she like the colors. She notices my 3 laptops and asked me what was I doing. I told her that I finally found this movie that I saw on YouTube coming attraction video clip, but it's in French and that I'm a out to add English subtitles to it. She asked me can I do that, us t it hard. Told her. I, but if it's in a language other then English, there will be English subtitles. Just 5 to 7 clicks of the mouse and the. I have to split the movie file in 3's because I have to put it in a Flash Drive to plug it into my TV to watch. She was amazed that I know something like this to do.

She sat down, out her leg underneath her and began to tell me about herself, while asking me about myself also. She has a 5 bedroom house that was left to her by he rHrwat Aunt.all furnished and the only thing she said she has to pay for is utilities. 47 years old, no children. I asked her does she work and she said no. Another Uncle left her a lot of money, she doesn't have to work. I asked her what she does all day and she said nothing. I told her the same thing for me, but there sti is r enough time in the day to do nothing. Then my cell phone rang.

Strange thing too. Usually my phone is on vibrate and  I one ever calls me. It was a guy I know and I told her excuse me and she stood up. I told my friend in the phone that I would call him right back I'm in the middle of something and hung up. She was laughing. I asked what was funny and she said that when I said I was in the middle of something, she said to herself yeah me, he is in the middle of me. I said that sounds good to me. She grab my hands and said I was hoping that would be alright too, but ive made plans for this afternoon and I can't change them, though I wish I could, but I can't. Insaid another time.

I walked her down to her house half a block away. I had a pen and paper in my coat. Write my name and number on it. I told her that I'm not going to wait for her to ca me, I'm just going to come and knock on you door because I'm interested in you a d your middle, it needs checking out. She kissed me in my cheek and said she was finally glad to meet me.

About 3 hours later while I was taking a shower she called and left a voice message. It said that in Wednesday she wants to go out and purchase a laptop and would I come with her and then help her install it. She  will make dinner and we can finish talking or whatever. I texted her back and said, day or night text and call, leave message. Just tell me what time to meet you in Wednesday. She said she will let me know on Tuesday.

I can't wait until Wednesday.
