INTROSPECTIVE

Chapter 8

"I'd figure you'd be more into purple hair,"he said trying to lighten the mood.

"Well that's a first."

Louis looked at her confused.

"You know you were beginning to sound like a broken record.All I ever heard you say was:What are you doing here?"

"I only said that tw..."

"Yes,too many times.Look let's agree on something here.I won't ask you what you're doing here and you won't ask me.Okay?"

Not waiting for his answer,she added,"We both know that our actions are a little strange but neither one of us would like to answer to them."

He simply nodded.

"That's better,"she smiled at him.

Much better indeed,he thought as he was assaulted with the force of that beautiful smile again.

Louis watched her as she proceeded to move her seat back then throw her feet over the dashboard.

"So when did you decide to take up stalking as a pastime?"

She turned to him and laughed."Are you implying that I'm stalking you?"

"Of course."

"Well, as a professional stalker I have never met such a willing victim before.Maybe next time you could leave your curtains wide open so that I could watch you sleep. "

They both laughed a little at this.And an uncomfortable silence followed.The loud croaking of frogs interrupted their silence.

"They sure are pining for their females.Serenading them with their little symphonies.Let's listen to something better,yeah?"she said as she leaned towards the radio,turning the music up.

What the heck was this?

"This music is crap."

She snorted."You know my respect for you just went down a notch.
You have no taste in music.Listen to the lyrics Arschloch."

Oh I feel overjoyed when you listen to my words...

Words are all we have
We'll be talking
We'll be talking
These words are all we have
We'll be talking...

And I hear you calling in the dead of night...

Louis listened for a few minutes and he had to admit that it wasn't so bad.But of course,he wouldn't say that out loud.

"You know I always wished I had a friend like that,"she spoke with her eyes closed."The kind that would be desperate to save me from whatever it is I need saving from....even myself,"she said the last part looking straight into Louis' eyes.

"The kind that wouldn't mind talking to me in the dead of the night,"she said with a smile and maintained eye contact with him for a beat longer giving Louis time to not only admire her smile but those big dark eyes.

He turned away finding himself easily entranced by those eyes and that smile and honestly he felt uncomfortable about that fact.There was nothing really special about her eyes yet he coudn't stand their gaze for longer than 20 seconds.

It seemed that she had noticed his discomfort and decided to change the topic.

"What's your name?"

"John Doe,"

"You know I won't stop calling you Arschloch 'til you tell me your name."

"What the heck does that word mean?

"That's only for me to know and for you to never find out.But don't worry the name suits you perfectly."she said with a cheeky smile.

"Eva is my name."

"You pronounce it so weirdly."

She shrugged dismissively.

"You know you owe me."

"For what exactly?"

"For hitting you with my car.It was probably the most exciting thing that's happened to you in a very,very long time."

She couldn't be serious.Could she?Louis took one look at her face and burst out laughing.

"Are you serious?"

She nodded.

"Don't worry as much as you owe me, I'm not asking for a kidney or something.But I do want something in return."

"I still don't owe you but go ahead ask what you want,"he actually wanted to know.He was sincerely curious.

"Will you teach me how to swim?"

"What?!"

"I really want to learn.I want to go scuba diving someday.So just help me out."

"What?You're asking a stranger to teach you how to swim?"

"A stranger who owes me big time."

He scoffed."You know I don't owe you.And I think it's unwise to ask.What if I'm some sort of pervert?"

"No,you don't look the type."

"And how would you know that?"

"Because like you said Louis,stalking happens to be one of my pastimes."she winked.
