Whisper booth

6 - Hello?

Erin

I suddenly heard taps on the roof. It was not that strong at first but it grew. I hugged myself when the wind became colder, a bit worried.

Erin

I didn't bring an umbrella with me.

Erin

What an unfortunate day.

Hee

"Hey..."

Erin

I trembled upon hearing the voice. It was him! The guy fom yesterday!

Hee

"I'm sorry," he said. He does, sound, apologetic. “ Am I late?”

Erin

“When did you—”

Hee

“The strange noise earlier, I....” He tried to explain but he stopped. “How was it being with Jake?”

Erin

“It was cool”, I told him. I raised both my feet on the seat and hugged my legs.

Hee

“You alright?” He sounds concerned. “Is it cold?”

Erin

“Uh...yeah,” I hugged myself tighter when a wind rushed inside the booth, my eyes shut.

Erin

I heard another noise. The door from the other side opened and closed. So was mine. I immediately felt a warm presence beside me.

Erin

I heard a click and the lights went off.

Erin

“What's—”

Hee

“Sorry, I can't let you see my face.”

Hee

“Can I sit beside you?”

Erin

“Sure.”

Erin

The moment he placed himself beside me, one inch away, my heart started beating faster. I was only talking with him yesterday.

Erin

And there's something between us. But now there isn't.
