Twisted

Meeting a stranger

Y/N

"It's pouring as if it won't ever stop" I thought to myself looking outside the window. "But the veggies" I whined.

Y/N

"Look at the time it's already this late, if I won't go now then the dinner's on me" I cried internally "AND I CAN'T COOK"

Y/N

"Will you PLEASE make it stop, so I can at least run to the store and come back unharmed!?" I pleaded looking up the sky.

Rain was never my thing. I had this weird annoyance with this season, specially getting drenched under rain water. I just don't like it.

And who would've thought that my prayers will be listened today. Which is never the case btw. I watched and watched until the rain stopped.

Sliding my hand out the window and not feeling any rain drops on it, a smile made its way on my lips, making me the happiest one.

Not wasting a min I ran down the stairs making my way out through the living room crowded with my Maa, Papa and elder brother

Y/N

"Guys I'll be back with the groceries soon" I remarked walking out

Bro

"Grab some choco bars for me on your way back"

Maa

"Wait up y/n, I need to add some more to the list" Maa called out

Y/N

"Maa it was raining for the past three hours, after you gave me the list. How can you always manage to add some, the last min" I frowned

Y/N

"Look the rain just stopped, I need to go get them groceries, before it starts again" I continued while Maa added to the list taking it

Maa

"There!!" Maa gave me back the list and I ran out the door adjusting myself on my bicycle putting my gear on, on the head and knees.

Yeah, I'm still in the phase of learning how to ride one, tho I've turned 18. Don't judge me, it's too hard to balance for me.

Maa

"Don't forget to collect the change at the checkout" Maa shouted from behind "No need to come back if you forget" she added

Y/N

"Yeah Maa, I won't forget" I said while my voice faded as I rode on

Ride to the store was pleasant. I don't like the rain but the addicting smell it leaves on the surface is what I live for.

Parking my bicycle on the stand I entered the store making the bell on the gate ring "ting tiling"

Jay

"Welcome, how can I help you" the cute part-timer of the store said hearing the bell "Oh! it's you" he lightened up seeing me

Y/N

"Hey" I replied almost in a whisper looking down my feets "I'll be back, grabbing all of these" I then voiced out, showing him the long list

Jay

"So, it's your day to grocery shopping, ay!?" he chuckled, knowing how I hate it. But would come anyway to spend some time with him, talking

Wandering around the whole store, grabbing one item after the other. Trying my best to get all of em fast as I can so that I get some time

to talk to him as well get back home in time before the rain starts pouring again. And so I did, putting all the items in the cart.

Before I walked to the checkout counter I rechecked all the items from the list, confirming I've put em all into the cart.

Doing so I walked to the counter real slow, so that the customers he was dealing with can go by then.

Y/N

"Doing some hardworking here, aren't you!!" I said grabbing his attention

Jay

"I can work harder, only if it means I get to see you everyday" he flirted making me blush

With that our small talks started about how our day went, how tiring of a day it was, what we did to cheer up, things like that.

Soon after we heard a growl of lightning from outside the mart. In that moment I regretted staying back and not going home after checkout.

Y/N

"Oh shit!! I must hurry back before it starts again, thanks for making time to talk to me Jay"

Jay

"No, thanks to you for staying after your shopping to talk and make this boring job of mine a lil entertaining always" he said

Jay

Leaning towards me he said "I kind of look forward for you to come everyday" making my heart race

Just then his cellphone rang. I read the contact saved as "My Love", my broke into million pieces looking at the screen, as it always has

Whenever his girlfriend called while we were talking. He gave me a look for he needs to pickup the call. I passed him an assuring smile.

Jay

"Hey babe, what ya doin?"

Taking it a queue for me to leave I waved to him heading out the store. Settled the shopping bags into basket and putting the gear I went on

I road slowly. Being disheartened by that call made me loose sense of my surroundings, which didn't let me get a hold on myself.

Only after I heard the pitter patter on my helmet did I realized that it started raining again. Looking up the sky, then to the groceries

which were in the basket, I gasped. Then processed for them being inside of a plastic bag that Jay made me take coz of the weather

are they dry still. At last I looked at myself noticing I was being rained on and my clothes almost totally wet. Finally I was in my senses

Y/N

"Shit!! I need to find and get under a shelter"

Fastening my speed I started looking out for shelter. Also being careful not to slip at the same time, trying my best at that in order to

reach a nearby shelter for not to get any more drenched than I already am. Fortunately found one that isn't so far aways from where I am.

Y/N

"It isn't actually fortune as I thought, I guess" I thought to myself looking at the place I was about to go into

The half constructed building, which is now turned into a warehouse, hiding spot, making out spot and a painting spot for the localites.

Seeing the spot I always cringed. Never knew I'd be seeking shelter at this place ever. If only it wasn't for this goddam rain, I won't be.

Y/N

"I must call back home, that I'll be late" I murmured taking out my cellphone

Y/N

"Hey bro just let Maa know that I'll be late, coz of the rain obviously. I'll be home soon as it dies down"

Bro

"Okay, I'll let Maa know you're meeting the hot guy from the school and will be late" he said louder than necessary on the other side

Y/N

"You rat, just wait until I'm back home. I'm gonna rip that smile off your face I swear." I gritted my teeth in anger, hanging up

Stranger

"Can you not shout at least, the rain's enough. I can't bear any more noise than that" someone from the inside shouted scaring me

Y/N

"I knew weirdest of people hang here but isn't it too dark to be in here right now?" I talked to myself

Stranger

"Look whose calling who a weird one, talking all by their self" I'm angrier now, picturing that smirk on his face while he says that

Y/N

"Look Mr. I'm not in a mood to fight. If you live around here you'd know, people who hangout in this place are freaks without a doubt"

Stranger

"So you calling me a freak now? And a fight, huh? Let's see if you can win against me" he said making his way out of the dark, towards me
