Writing Prompt#77 (Lunchbox)
"Can you give this to Sam?" my mom said as I was leaving.
I raised an eyebrow at her.
"What?" she asked.
"Why are you spoling him?"
"He's... be," she said under her breath.
"What?" my turn to ask her.
"Nothing," she said with a bright smile.
I eyed her suspiciously and grabbed the lunch box.
"Okay, I'm going," I said as I waved goobye.
Walking down the second floor of the apartment building I hear giggles and laughs. Looking up I found a teenage couple.
"Could you mind watching where you're walking? I don't want to see a dead body early in the morning," a man's voice said.
I looked at the 5'7 tall of a man looking down on me.
He noticed the box.
"Is that for me?" asked the brown-eyed tall man.
"Yeah," I said shortly.
"Where's yours?"
"Stella's treating me for lunch."
He nodded and walked with me towards the exit.
He was holding the door open when someone bumped into me and almost toppled me over.
Good thing a pair of hands grabbed my arms just in time.
The two lovestruck teenage couple seemed oblivious of what happened. Sam almost wanted to run up to them and gave them an earful when I stopped him.
We were sitting in the bus when I noticed the many couples on the bus.
"What's with today?" I asked out of nowhere.
Sam looked around and also noticed the couples. He looked at his watch.
"It's February fourteen," he stated.
"Oh," I just said and looked outside the window.
Looking at the streets as the bus passes by it was very noticeable the many stores decorated witht hearts and cupids. There are also many couples walking hand in hand today. Laughing and giggling.
Looking at the man beside me, I also wondered. When can it be my turn to laugh with my boyfriend? To hold hands while walking on the streets? Or in the bus?
I sighed unknowingly and looked out to the streets again.
"Are you okay?" Sam suddenly asked.
I looked at him and faked a smile.
"Uhm," Sam said with hesitation. "Can you have lunch with me instead?"
Then he handed me a card with an "I love you" on it.
