In fact, I was too busy thinking about him that I nearly didn't realise the day its started snowing. I woke up one morning and did my usual routine. But only after getting out of the house, I realised that it was snowing. Usually I would realise the snow falling once I look out of my bedroom window.
It was snowing as I was walking down the street, layered with thin snow. Almost coincidently, my eyes caught a familiar figure walking further in front of me. I decided to catch up with him by increasing my speed.
"Hey, not important." I was trying to joke around as he did say before that his name was not important. He turned around as I called over.
To be honest, he looked quite shocked, seeing me as I started walking next to him. His hands were shoved in the front pockets of his jacket. And of course, never leaving his DSLR. It just makes me wonder, doesn't he ever get annoyed with that thing always hanging from his neck? I was about to ask him about it but he broke the silence before I could.
"What are you doing?"
"What?" I questioned him back. I mean, couldn't he see that I was walking? The corner of his mouth suddenly tugged upwards, but it only lasted for a few seconds. If I hadn't been looking at him from the corner of my eyes, I wouldn't have caught it. He shook his head and remained silent.
Honestly, I didn't know what I was doing. I had no idea where were we going. I kept following him as he didn't say anything of it.
As we were walking, I finally recognised the route we're using. It was one of the ways to the park, only further than the usual route I take. The streets were quite empty as it was still early in the morning. Once we reached the park, he continued walking to his usual tree. He easily climbed up the tree and sat on one of its branch. I was debating on whether to follow him or just stay down, and decided to just hang around below. I walked a bit further from the tree and lied down on my back. I glanced a bit to the tree and saw him capturing pictures using his camera. God knows what does he take pictures of.
I decided to push away all thoughts of him and enjoy the cold winter blow. I closed my eyes and spread my arms outwards. I have never felt calmer.
As I was opening my eyes, I nearly screamed. With his face above mine, merely inches from my face and his hands by the side of my face, his eyes was intently looking at mine. We were looking at each other's faces upside down. I returned his gaze for as long as I could.
For a second, I thought I've seen those pair of eyes somewhere before.
But of course, I have. This is practically the fourth time I've looked into those eyes. They were dark blue. I could see the slight blue of his iris and those long lashes sweeping his cheeks every time. Suddenly it was like as if the space between us was getting smaller. I started to panic. What's happening?
I nearly pushed his face when he lifted his head allowing the cold air to blow on my face. I didn't realise I was holding my breath when I started breathing again.
What the heck just happened?
