An Enchanting Moment

't was monday and I had just made an appointment with an optician to have my eyes checked. I had to be there at three pm so I left my studymates and walked to the city center to the opticians'. After a short wait and the check-up I started trying out some glasses. I was told the sales woman would be with me any moment. After about a half a hour I was torn between three pairs of glasses and really couldn't decide which of them would come home with me. At some point this guy walked in and started looking around himself. Somehow I was fully aware of his presence but since I had already been standing there constantly switching three pairs of glasses on my head and the sales woman not yet being helpful, I had other things on my mind. At last she walked up to me apologizing for taking so long. She gave me her opinion but I still hesitated to pick one, because it does really determine ones' look, and I didn't feel like rushing it. Somehow te guy was looking at me every now and then, trying on glasses for himself. At one point he interferred in my conversation with the saleswoman giving his opinion on what I had just said. He stated the sometimes it was better to just go and eat an icecream and come back later to decide. I nodded smiling and mumbling something agreeingly, but went on fitting the glasses. At some point we couln't reach a verdict and so I turned to the guy, since he was watching me again, to ask him for his opinion on which glasses I should take. He gave an honest and rather serious reaction, but asked me why I didn't ask the sales lady to keep them all for a week so I could come back with a friend or something. Well what a good idea! I laughed and did as he said. Then, I was just about to leave the shop, I realized that this man could maybe use my help on deciding as well, since he had also been there for a while. I turned and asked him whether he beede my help, since he had been so kind in helping me. He then smiled again and said that he needed to go eat an icecream first and would then come back later to decide. I said "ok, no problem" and turned to the door. He then said "why don't you come with me, we'll have an icecream together!" I thought he was rather cute, and had a very appealing charisma, so I said "yes, why not" without thinking.

Once we had the icecream, we ofcourse had to either sit down at the icecream cafe, or walk back to the store or wherever, so we both decided on walking together. We had a great connection so he suddenly said: " do you know where we are going? Because I know.." I replied that I had no idea, since we were randomly walking in the direction of the station. He told me that we were going to the university site, because there was an exhibition of the World Press Photo contest winners. I thought by myself, well whatta ya know, this guy knows how to play this game!! I decided that t would be fun to go there, and at the same time get to know this guy a little better.

Once at the exhibition we found out that we had quite a lot in common, but had enough differences to be able to talk about many things. I enjoyed it and I am guessing that he was as well. After seeing all, we started walking back to the station and he told me where to go. We had the choice to either walk on a narrow sidewalk or on a much broader bicycle way. I said " I'll walk on the bicycle way." He then said: " so you're going to walk there and hinder all the cyclers and endanger yourself" with a grinn, saying that I was a bit different and all.. I then replied that I liked doing things different, that I wasn't going to walk on a very narrow sidewalk if I could walk on the broad cycle alley etc etc. Those of you who know me, probably recognise how I did, because they know I like to be stubborn and obstinate. All of a sudden he put his arm around me and kissed me full on the mouth. It wasn't just a little kissy, no! It was an unmistakable adult kiss!! Right there, on the cycle alley!! You can imagine that I was completely knocked off my feet and didn't quiet know where to look:) when he let go of me, I looked at his smiley face and he said: "Is this unconventional enough for ya?!"

It's a good thing I am a great bluffer, because honestly that had never happened to me before, and since I really kinda liked him and thought he was rather cute, I didn't know what to say. I blushed like mad and my friends know that I am seldom lost for words.

I bluffed my way around it and we walked on to the station. Once there, He asked me what we'd do next. So I told him that I didn't know what he was going to do, but since I have a dog, I had to go home and walk him. He said "well, then I'll come with ya and we'll wall him together". I thought ok, fine if that's what you want. I didn't care, he was interesting ánd he had just kissed me so yeah, ofcourse I'd like him to come with me.

The story goes on. We walked back into the city center and he asked if it was okay that we quickly stop at another optician to look at a pair of glasses that he had seen and that he wasn't completely sure of. I agreed and we went there. His bike stood in front of that shop anyway so it wasn't a detour at all. The moment we left the shop he kissed me again!! I jumped and asked him if this was normal to him, randomly kissing girls whenever he felt like it. He just smiled and said no, but he did do what he wanted every now and then though.

Well, I'll try and keep the story from gettin longer and longer. Eventually we've walked my dog together, we've ended up doing groceries together and sharing dinner together and finally he left the house at 12.30pm.

The good thing is, we've had a really nice time, talking and talking and time flew. We'll probably see each other again some time next week. He gave me his number for me to decide whether I wanted to keep in touch or not, which I found quite pleasant. After all, he kinda caught me off guard and I am not looking for a relationship anyways.

I can tell you that we have been on the phone yesterday and had a nice chat. So, to everyone who doesn't or didn't believe that things like these happen, they do! You just have to sometimes be open to other people. But ofcourse you should be careful as well, my guy turned out to be a genuinely honest and nice guy, but he's not perfect either and I told my neighbour that he was with me just to be sure.

Other than that, what better way is there to enjoy life to the fullest??!;)

Bis später!
