Romantic encounter...

It was romantic only because it happens to me.
It was a normal walk home.
Then he overtook me.

and walked in front of me...for the next 10 minutes..
One block away from my flat..I lost sight of him.

Until I turn corner and saw him again...standing in front of the lift lobby.
Reading a book...waiting for the lift...

When is the last time I saw a Singaporean man reading a book.

I cannot remember any.

This is not a Singaporean by the way.
He is an angmoh...
A handsome one. How handsome?
I describe him to wendy(my best friend) as "eastern european plumber looking"


He look up at me...
i suddenly feels shy.

For a split second...the lift door opens.
He looked at me...waiting for me to enter first.

When is the last time a singaporean man let me enter the lift first..
I cannot remember any as well...

I was too shy to look up..and enter the lift first, then him.

Door closes...

15th floor is for me.
He lives on the 13th.

I stand behind him...
The lift is so quiet...I am afraid he will hear my heartbeat...
But I was smiling...

13th floor..
door opens and he left...

15th floor...

Reach my door.

End of story.
