"Come on baby, let's get inside. It's freezing today" I shivered, hurrying my daughter to walk in as I opened the door of our apartment building.
It was the end of the day and I had just picked up Emily from school after getting off work myself. I was exhausted, like pretty much every day, however I couldn't complain. Being a hotel maid may be very tiring, it is still what brings food to the table and I'm beyond thankful for that. Besides, my schedule is perfect for me because I only work when my daughter is in school. That way, I don't have to pay for a nanny or anything, which is much appreciated considering the fact that I'm far from being rich.
"Watch your step sweetheart, the floor is slippery" I warned, almost slipping myself as we leaped up the stairs, thanks to both the snow and the other people living in this building who never wipe their shoes on the dormat before climbing the stairs.
"Tell you what, better safe than sorry. Give me your hand, I don't want you to fall over" I instructed, slightly turning as I reached my arm to grab her small hand.
We made it up the stairs safe and sound. I reached into my purse, already searching for the key as we made our way down the hall toward the apartment. I was so focused on searching that damn key that I wasn't paying attention to where I was going anymore, and I ended up bumping into someone, which caused my purse to fall down to the floor, its content scattering everywhere.
"I'm so sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going" I quickly apologized, immediately kneeling down to retrieve all my stuff.
"It's okay. I guess I wasn't watchng either" the guy I had bumped into nicely answered before getting on his knees as well to help me "Here. Let me help you."
"Thanks" I chuckled nervously, somewhat ashamed of my clumsiness. I glanced up, giving the stranger a small and brief smile as I took in his appearance.
He was already looking at me and smiled back. His deep brown eyes were pretty intimidating but at the same time, so much sweetness was emanating from them that I somehow still felt comfortable in his presence.
"Are you new here ? I don't think I've ever seen you around" I curiously questioned, totally oblivious to the reason I even cared in the first place. I mean, it was none of my business anyway.
"Oh I don't live here" he explained "I'm in some sort of...vacation."
I could tell by the way he kept smiling, the way he spoke, and his body language in general, that this guy was pretty shy. Not in a bad way though, more in a cute way.
"Oh" I simply responded, nodding my head in understandment.
"I'm visiting my aunt actually. I'm staying until Christmas" he then specified though I hadn't asked for any more details "You ?"
"Me ?" I raised an eyebrow in confusion, wondering what he was referring to.
"Yeah. I mean, are you new here ? " he said.
"Oh no, not at all. I've been living here for quite some time already" I replied, slightly embarrassed I hadn't gotten right away what he was talking about "Nearly 7 years."
"Okay" he gave me a quick head nod.
All my belongings now back inside my purse, I got back up and so did he.
"So uh...thanks again for helping me pick up my things and sorry again I bumped into you. I can be...uh...dumb sometimes" I let out a nervous laugh as I ran a hand through my hair.
"No problem, really" he kindly assured me, shoving his hands into his pockets.
I smiled at him in response. I was intending to go now, but he spoke again before I had the chance.
"I'm Johnny by the way" he stretched out his arm, offering his hand for me to shake.
"Monica" I introduced myself in turn, shaking his hand.
"Nice to meet you Monica."
"Nice to meet you too...uh...Johnny."
We stared at each other for a moment, both forgetting to let go of the other's hand. His eyes were so deep, it was like he was staring right into my soul. At some point, I began feeling terribly awkward and self-conscious under his gaze, but I still didn't look away.
"And who may you be ?" Johnny suddenly broke the silence, looking over my shoulder. I was wondering who he was talking to, until I heard my daughter's voice.
My god, I had almost forgotten she was even there.
"My name is Emily" she shyly answered, taking a few steps closer until she reached my side.
"Beautiful name for a beautiful girl" Johnny complimented, making her smile grow wider.
"She's my daughter" I stated, placing my arm around her shoulders.
"Yeah, I figured it out" he chuckled slightly "I mean...you kinda look alike. You know...your hair and all" he went on, making strange gestures with his hands while he spoke as if to point out our similarities.
A muffled laugh escaped my lips as I watched him struggling with his failed and cubbish attempt of explanation. But Emily indeed looks a lot like me. She's blonde just like me and she has the same bright blue eyes I have.
"Well, we should get going now. We still have homework to do, don't we baby ?" I finally said, looking at Emily who shook her head in agreement. "It was nice meeting you Johnny" I added, my eyes now resting on him.
"The pleasure was all mine. Maybe I'll see you around ?" he wondered out loud, nervously scratching the back of his head.
"Maybe" I retorted, turning to walk away.
