My eyes lock with his

He smiles my way and I smile back

I see him reading a book I just finished and walk over to him

Hey, don’t mean to interrupt but that’s a good book

Yes it is he says, I can’t put it down

I felt the same way reading it I say

Anyway sorry to disturb you

I get excited seeing someone with the same taste in books

He smiles and I see something weird in his eyes

I can tell he gets uneasy

Ok, well have a good lunch I say and turn to walk away

Hold on he says and I stop

You seem like a cool girl and all but you are not my type

Excuse me I ask confused

Well………….he stutters. Just like my friends say they do not deal with white chicks

I do not go for black ones, no offense

I burst out laughing not sure what to say to this fool who has the same taste in books as me

Dude, no offense I say. Do you think I was trying to pick you up?

What an ego, oh by the way no offense taken

Why will I be offended by someone so ignorant that can’t find a better way

To talk to a lady even if what he implies was the case

Why will I be offended by the fact that someone that has the same likes as me

Could be so full of himself.

Well at a second glance I have to say he deserves to be full of himself

He Is like a freaking Greek God

I now doubt myself

Did I walk over here because of the book or the dude?

He can tell I am having a self debate going on and wants to say something

When he gets interrupted by the arrival of my guest and I see he is in shock

Yeah, I silently say enjoying the look in his eyes

He may be Poseidon but my dude is freaking Zeus.
