After buying all the groceries, we went home.

They took their car and I went in mine.

A day passed and I went for a walk at a part three blocks away from my house.

Don't get me wrong, I love my four oversized brothers to death, but if I hear them break one more vase, I'm killing them all.

I walked around, looking for a good place to sit when I crashed into someone.

"Fuck!"

I fell backwards but was caught by the man.

The man from yesterday.

He was wearing the same outfit as yesterday.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I did it again!" I got to my feet and he let go of me.

He put a hand up.

It's okay.

I smiled.

"What are the odds we'd run into each other again? Quite literally!"

He shrugged.

"I'm sorry again."

He shook his head.

"Are you okay?"

He nodded.

"Good."

"What's your name?"

He glanced around and rubbed his elbow.

"You don't have to answer. I'm sorry for asking."

He paused then slowly pointed at my notebook and pencil.

"You want to write it down?"

He nodded.

I opened my notebook to a clear page and handed them to him.

He scribbled down and handed it back.

My name is Simon

"Simon huh?"

He nodded.

"Do you not talk?"

He held his hand out and I handed the book and pencil back to him.

He handed it back to me.

I rather not talk

I nodded.

"Mysterious. That's always cool."

He cleared his throat and looked away.

"Sorry, was that to weird?"

He shook his head.

"Do you live nearby? It's weird that we'd meet twice."

He nodded and pointed to the opposite way I came from.

"Cool."

He stared at me and I made myself smile.

He's a bit odd.

He's also very familiar.

"Have we met before?"

He shrugged.

"You seem very familiar."

He took the notebook and pencil from me.

Maybe you've seen me in the streets.

"Yeah, that's probably it."

He scribbled down on the notebook and then showed me.

You draw?

"Sometimes when I have the chance. It's not offend though. I'm to busy."

Scribble scribble.

Is it okay if I look at your drawings?

I nodded.

"Wanna sit down by the lake?"

He nodded and we walked to the lake, sitting down on the grass.

He flipped through the pages slowly.

He gave me thumbs up and I smiled.

"Thank you."

He flipped and then stopped mid page turn.

He let the page go and looked up at me.

I tilted my head and he turned the book to show me.

I blushed darkly when I saw it was Ghost in a rat onesie tap dancing.

"That's my lieutenant. I'm in the military. I had a nightmare that he was chasing me and forced me to tap dance. He asked me what my nightmare was about and I told him rats. He thinks they were eating me alive. He still doesn't know the truth." I giggled.

He nodded slowly and he seemed to smile.
