The door slammed, echoing down the long hall.
As he quickened his stride, he was determined to guard his heart from the likes of her.
He was pleased when he suggested a walk in the park that she had accepted with glee. Under a canopy of stars, a soft breeze danced as she listened happily to his enchanting voice and his storytelling. Everything seemed picture perfect until suddenly events went sour and nosedived.
Arrived near a secluded part of the park, he swooped down to take a stolen kiss whilst a groping hand grasped her soft generous bust. He was expecting the lass to follow suit and deepen the kiss, so what followed next left him baffled.
With all her might, she pushed him aside and visibly shook, she fled.The night of lustful pleasures he thought both desired and hoped for was off.
After a sleepless night, he went in search of answers. Not finding the lass at the council house where she worked, he went knocking on her apartment door.
To avoid curious neighbour chitter chatter, reluctantly she opened and invited him in.
He asked why a change of heart for he was sure she fancied him. At first, she was lip-tight but encouraged to speak her mind, she confessed she was in love with him. She had dreamed of a romantic night out in the park, holding hands, entwining fingers whilst watching the stars.
She thought he'd be her knight and seal the night with a gentle kiss on her lips once back at her doorstep.
Her confession had left him somewhat shocked but not wanting to give her any false hopes he was brutally blunt; as far as he was concerned love was for the weak and foolish. And he considered himself neither and with that he took his leave.
