More everyday

(Allow me to indulge myself… again).

– How did I know I’d find you here?
— How did you know?
– I don’t know, I just did.
— Take a seat.
– Thanks.

– So.
— So.
– The beach in winter.
— Indeed.
– I think that’s how I knew.
— I’d be here?
– Yeah.
— … why’s that?
– Well, because, well you’re a cold wind kind of guy right?
Eyebrows
– Don’t look at me like that, I’m not being derogatory, I’m being poetic.
Eyebrows
– And not sarcastic either.
— In that case thank you.
– You’re very welcome.
— The question begs asking, why are you here though?
– I just wanted to see you.
— You didn’t know I was here.
– No I didn’t, I just needed a little quiet time. Everyone’s kids are running around like mad in the yard there.
— Ha.
– I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love them all to bits, but the noise is driving me nuts.
— Ah well, kids. It’s good though, they get the chance to be kids all together.
– I guess.
A small laugh
– You like kids. Kids like you.
— You don’t like kids?
– … I do, just sometimes I don’t really know, you know, how to be around them, what they’ll understand or not. I don’t know what to talk about.
— Fair enough, I used to be like that.
– Really?
— Yeah.
– … Really?
— Yep. For sure.
– So?
— Well, you just need to be yourself. Say what you want. When they don’t understand something, they’ll let you know, then you can either explain or whatever. They’re kids, they’re pretty clever. You’d be amazed at what they’re capable of.
– Hmm.
— What?
– You’re very charming.
— I’m just being myself.
– You’re not like this with other people.
— That’s because I don’t want them to know who I am.
– Does that make me special?
— Indeed it does. You’re very special.
–
—
– You know I could kiss you.
— Hey you know you could kiss me.
