Fish Bowl (Page1)





She met him in the street

She was too preoccupied with trying to answer her phone before it went to voicemail

She crashed into him causing her phone to drop to the floor

She started to mumble her apologies while trying to retrieve her phone but he was trying to get his friends attention who was on the other side of the street

He walking towards his mate and her crashing into him

Fate

Or two people who aren't looking where the fuck they're heading

She retrieves the phone but the call has ended and the screen is cracked

Shot to shit

She is pissed not with him but with herself

He feels guilty

He says she can follow him round the corner to his flat to use his phone

I already have a phone the screens just all fucked but still works

Well, let me make you a coffee to apologise

She then notices he is carrying a bottle of milk and a pack of fags

I don't smoke

Neither do I

She laughs

Okay, just don't murder me

He laughs

I don't murder women in my house. Im not that stupid

Sheepishly she follows him to his flat



When inside she tells him she's just been for a interview and she thought it might of been them

He asks why they would be calling straight after the interview?

I don't know. I just….. I don't know

White or Black

What?

Your coffee?

Oh, black no sugar…..thanks

She starts to look around his flat while he makes the coffees. Decent size. Arty Photographs on the wall and lots of vinyl. Too much vinyl. A suspicious amount.

He comes into the living room carrying two cups of coffee. One black. One white. You don't like milk?

Dilutes the taste. I like my coffee to match my heart and mood, black she says theatrically as she sweeps her hand across her forehead and turns away

He raises his eyebrows because he's not sure what to make of her and he likes that

No, I just prefer my coffee without milk..more pure

Why all the vinyl? You can't possibly listen to that much

Im a seller, here. He passes her his card

Wow, you even have a website and business card. Very professional
