Love Is Blind.
Love.
PATRICK'S POV
"Why don't you just go up to her." Pete told me
"What?"
"I know you want to talk to her."
I looked at Pete and then at the young lady sitting down all alone at a table drinking coffee and looking into the distance.
"Just go for it."
Of course I was used to singing in front of thousands of people, but talking to one person is a big difference.
Take a breath and walk up to her.
"Should I just introduce myself?"
"Maybe she knows who you are and you wont need to."
"Right."
Pete patted my back, and then pushed me a bit. I walked up to her and then cleared my throat.
"Excuse me."
"Yes?" She asked as she kept looking straight
"Uh. Mind if I join you?"
"No, go right ahead." She said keeping her head straight
I walked over to the seat in front of her and smiled, and then i noticed she was wearing sunglasses.
"It's a nice day isn't it."
"Yes it really is."
"My name is Patrick."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Analiese"
"You have a beautiful name."
"Thank you."
"What brings you here?"
"It's something I like to do every day, like a daily routine I guess."
"It's always nice to be able to do that."
"Do you have any?"
"I can't really do that."
"Oh. Why is that?"
"I'm always on the road."
"Are you in a band?"
This is better than I thought.
"Yeah I'm the lead singer."
"That must be really amazing."
"Yeah I love doing it."
"So what's the name of your band?"
"Um. Fall Out Boy"
"Really!?"
"Yeah."
"I've heard a few songs, I like them, or you. Uh you know what I mean." She spoke with a soft giggle
"Yeah."
She giggled a bit more and then started to ask me about life touring, and being in a band, then I asked her about life being able to stay at one place more than a month..
"Um would you mind handing me the sugar?"
"Oh it's right there.' I said pointing
"Where?" She asked as she looked down the table
"Right there." I repeated
She smiled and then looked up. Then extended her hand out to me.
"Can you show me?"
What is she doing?
As soon as I took hold of her hand I felt her soft skin against mine, I slowly placed her hand on top of the sugar.
"Thanks." She said looking straight but not really at me
"Analiese?" I asked
"Yes Patrick?"
"Look at me?"
She hesitated for a bit then sighed and looked down.
"I didn't mean to offend you."
"You didn't."
She slowly took her sun glasses off then looked up. Her eyes were a very light blue almost not visible. Then it hit me.
She's blind.
I stayed quiet for who knows how long, because the next thing I knew she was getting ready to leave.
"I knew he was going to be like every other guy." She mumbled
I smiled and stood up, then took her hand. She stood still.
"Mind If I walk you?" I asked her
A smile grew on her face as she tightened the grip on my hold.
"I would love it." She replied
And that's how it all began.
