He Sat Next to Me and Smiled

The days passed by slowly. Nothing Momo did could make the days go any faster. She would take long walks away from her house, go shopping for things she didn't need, call her friends to hang out at her place, and even spent hours reading huge books some people wouldn't even attempt to read. None of these activities worked in shortening her day. Perhaps she should find a boy friend. Yes that would solve many things. But how would she find herself the right boyfriend? Momo would sleep on the thought and wake up each oment thinking today would be a great day to meet somone. She never really, fully comitted herself to doing so, which ment, she found no one.
One beautiful, spring day, Momo went for a walk at the towns local park.She never noticed how far she had walked from the entrance to the end of the first mile. Her mind was on diffrent things like, the boyfriend thought. She was feeling tired so she sat at the first bench she spotted right away. Luckily, there was small vendors selling drinks nearby so Momo could just buy one when she recovered from her fatigue-ness. However, the thought in her mind could not be resolved so easily. What if she never found anyone? What if she turned into one of those crazy old single people who never once found someone in there lifetime? Momo entered into a bit of a trance and never realized a man sat right next to her.
During her whole "what if " daydream, the man had manange to read a newspapaer and talk on the phone, which was what he was still doing. Momo, still not realizing someone was next her, placed her hand to the side to give herself a boost up. The man flinched a bit making her flinch as well along wtih a screach or yell of sorts. Momo covered her mouth as the man kindly apologized to her.

"I'm so sorry ma'am. Are you okay?"
"Y-yes. I'm so sorry. Ididn't see you. I-"
"It's okay, you don't have to apologize."
"Oh,but, you were on the phone."
"That's okay,I hung up before you...uh....yelled?
""uh....yeah, I....yelled.I couldn't hear myself."
"Then lets call it a shriek."
"Yeah........I'm Momo."
"Nice to meet you Momo, I'm Aizen."
" Nice to meet you,Aizen!"

This man was like a dream! He was nice, handsome, seemed pretty smart, and he exteded his hand to her. Momo could not believe it. She shook hands with Aizen who was smiling brightly at her. She smiled back at him with the same kindness.

"You have a lovely smile."

What the?Did she hear himm right? Did he say she has a "lovely smile?" That was sudden. She didn't know how to react to that, so she just said thank you.

"Uh......Thank you.......Uh....."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."
"No, It's okay! Really!"
"Okay then. May I give you another compliment?"
"Oh...Uh...I....Sure"

Momo couldn't help but feel happy. She had never felt this way about a man. She loved how he made feel so pretty and special. A man was actually telling her compliments and making her feel loved. This feeling was wonderful.

"Mom? Would you like to have lunch with me?"
"Lunch?"
"Yes."
"I.......I would love to."
"......Well then, let me help you up."
"Thank you, very much."

The two left the park and to a small tavern. They got to know each other pretty well. Momo had the tome of her life. Today was the greatest day ever.
Later that day, Aizen walked Momo to her home. The day was long for Momo, but it was worth it. She met someone.

"I had a great time with you Momo."
"Thank you, I had a great time with you too ."
"So, can I see you again?"
"I would love that."

Aizen walked her to her door. As they were about to say bye to each other, Aizen stole a kiss from Momo."

"....Aizen?.....I uh...."
"Shh, It's okay."

He kissed her one more time and then they went there seperate ways.

"Bye Momo."
"Bye Aizen."

When Momo was inside, she grabbed her journal and simply wrote on a clean page:

"A man sat next to me, and smiled."
