“Is the pumpkin pie any good? I’m new to the city so I’m kinda walking around blindly” they said, gesturing to the plate in front of him.
His head turned to look behind him expecting to see someone else but there was no one. He hesitated to reply, confused as to why someone as beautiful as you or anyone for that matter would bother speaking to him. He must’ve taken too long because your expression changed into an awkward smile.
“Oh I-uh, sorry I'm just a bit tired from work. Yeah the pie here is decent enough.”
“Great, I'll order some. So, what do you do for work?”
You were asking about his life. Almost as if you actually cared to know. Too bad you’d run as soon as you saw his real face. Perhaps he could be content with watching you from afar. A pretty lady like you wouldn’t be so safe in the big city— you would need him.
“I’m a forensic accountant—” he started to explain.
He has such a sweet and unassuming face. He looked like someone you could trust. You were intrigued with him and needed to know more. You’ve decided when he he leaves you’ll follow him and scope him out.
Finishing up the pumpkin pie you both get up to leave at the same time, awkwardly bumping into each other— before he steps aside and waves you on. A true gentleman, how sweet.
“Thanks for keeping me company— shit I totally forgot to ask for your name”
“Oh it’s Edward, Edward Nashton.”
“Well it was nice to meet you Eddie. I hope to see you again”
He blushes all the way to the tip of his ears and down his neck— gently waving goodbye unable to form any words.
He makes his way out of the building, trailing behind you—making sure to maintain a safe distance. You make a sharp turn. Confused he speeds up a bit. Did you know he was following you? He turns the corner, discreetly looking around for any sign of you. He sees you entering the apartment building across from his. Strange he thought. How had he not noticed you before? He watches the windows, waiting to see which belongs to you. Hah what are the chances. This’ll make his job a whole lot easier.
He hangs his plain windbreaker on the coat rack as he enters. He moves towards the window eager to take a peep into your personal life. Aiming the telescope at your window he leans over to look through the lens. He barely knows anything about you, but immediately upon seeing your home— he’s positive that it fits you perfectly. You’re bent over digging through a drawer, clearly looking for something. His eyes wander to admire the curve of your backside. You’ve found what you’re looking for now. Before he could see what it was, you’re at the window looking straight at him.
“Oh Fuck! Shit. Shit. Shit.”
He dives to the floor so fast it makes him light headed. He takes a deep breath before peeking over the windowsill. Are you— are those binoculars? He rises further before seeing you duck out of view. You’re eyes appear in the window and then slowly your whole body. The both of you stare at each other with furrowed brows, trying to make sense of it all. A smile slowly graces his face when he realizes— you too had the urge to observe from afar. You’re smiling back at him now, you’ve found a kindred spirit.
