The third point of view
ROMINA ...
BECAUSE of the late-night ship of her in the fast-food chain, she is working. She needs to open the flashlight of her old phone just to see the road. She is a little bit anxious in thinking she is alone for a night. If ever something happened to her no one will notice it.
The cold weather of February is feeling in her veins so she just wraps her arm around her to give heat. Filling the cheap fabrics she is wearing.
The creepy sound of unfamiliar noise came from the forest near her make her shaking while walking. But still, she makes her mindset strong and forgets what he hears saying 'it just small animals with the big mouth it can never harm you"
"Boooooo....."
"Ahhhhhh"
One loud noise came from her began to expand of the wide road because of shocking surprise at the back. She stops beating and starts turning thinking it will be great to see the person who will kill her.
But when she sees the smile of that annoying man she knew this is not a horror movie she watches before this is more than that.
"Clint ... You dickk... Fucker"
Clint Eastwood the man I want to stay away from because of the kind the things I feel when I'm near him. Always make my mind spinning without effort. and I hate it ...
A man I know since birth
A man with a good body like a Greek god in Olympus created by Rick Riordan
A man that has the perfect set of teeth and when he smile girl you are dead meat
BUT SADLY
A man working stripper in the club at night and delivery man at daylight
A man has a small income behalf lot of mouths to feed
A man who is renting their house
In short poor, just like me, the truth is that my salary is one time biggest on him
And that is what I hate about him being poor...
I used my handbag to hit him on the face. Thinking it will better revenge by making me scare in the last 1secon of my life just a simple word 'boooooo.'
"Ouch...stop....babe .....stop...ouch ...your hurting me... This is me your future....."
Instead of stopping, I just keep hitting him keeping the bag on his face... Just to wake him up on what he just says, Ambitious man.
But I just stop when I just heard his deep voice" I said stop" well even my brain stops working when his eyes getting darker and the light that came from the post is not helping and his prominent jaw is emptied by just talking. Is he angry now...I kinda like it.
" What are you doing here" after I stop doing it.. forgetting the jaw and the eyes..and how it caught my attention for a minute.
"I'm securing my future" with flashing his killer smile...while looking at in my t eyes. I just rolled my eyeball, Seriously!!! too old by a big boy like him...
"Clint, I tired please stop annoying me" he should be thankful I'm not suing him after he said he likes me a week ago. I'm trying to make our friendship stay forever and not destroy it by just random stuff like love.
I start walking not minding him. Because of standing and cleaning the dinner for the whole night, I can't feel my legs and do not have a lot of energy to deal with him.
"What you're tired all already but we are not doing anything,?" I can feel his devil smile while shouting at my back. And I tell you if I just have some rock in my hand it will surely land on his face.
But I just continue walking until the loud noise came from nowhere. And stop me from moving.
"That's why I'm here babe" sweet voice relax my organs and him holding my hand. It let the unfamiliar feeling that I hate is starting to grow again.
"Stop touching me and calling me names " but before I fell in the cliff of his charms. I get my hand on his rough and big hand this is the result of having a lot of jobs at an early age. Clint has a lot of things doing to earn money including selling his body. Make me sad about him.
" You're so mean to me why can you just accept my proposal to be my girl?" he still following me like assuring things.
"You know I don't want to b harsh on you we are a friend and you know already what things I looking for in a man, Clint"
I just keep my eyes on the road not minding the possible reaction I get from him.
I Know, I must set boundaries and clarify things with him. I don't want to stay being poor so I make sure to find a man to make me rich.
"Yeah ... I know but can you think of it I have two jobs so money is, not a problem anymore"
I just smile at how he confident say things clint always carries himself very fine. "Yeah, you have two jobs... They are stripper and delivery boy, a job that has enough money to support your family... Clint, you cannot even afford to buy yourself a new set of sneakers"
I look at him especially his sneaker having a dirty mark and the color almost faded because it's being old.
Things are the first things he buys when he receives his salary in being a delivery boy. He is so happy talking to me all day about that shoe.
"And you almost forgot you have a lot of loan in the loan shark because of your sister's health...."
Lily is his younger sister. Lily has Leukemia or cancer in blood-stage 1. So even Clint work hard he still struggles in making money on his own.
"Doctor said lily is doing good after her chemo and I feel that the manager of the pizza parlor I been working is considering my promotion"
When I see his eyes helping by the light of the moon I can see how our it was. It saying that everything is simple.
"Even lily is ok and you get the promotion I'm still not going out with you.. and you better keep that in mind"
I have strong conviction in my voice. I avoid his glace upon me I know I will regret it.
"Romina...there are a lot more than having money..."
"Yeah...like love ...Clint money can buy my happiness and my family able to paid a lot of our loans in everyone if I will find a rich man"
" We are the product of poverty and I don't want to keep that way forever. I want to experience getting want I want...I'm so tired of being poor Clint. I'm tired of my stepdad who always gets our money to buy liquor ...I'm so sick of watching my mother cry for that stupid man and I want my younger sister Lena to go college so she cannot experience things I had been..."
I finish my statement with ffsufferh family or my father will not die early maybe I will not shoulder all that things happened in our house maybe I'm in my college days doing what I want.
The silence filled the atmosphere and the two of us just love it. We are both suffering from the things we don't want.
"Here"
He gives me a black plastic don't know to want it there but I just get it. "What it is?"
"Open it"
When I open it, it a corndog one of my favorite food it 3 in 1 to have sausage, bread and have cheap price this is the things I buy when I don't have enough money.
"Thank you" I give him a simple smile he knows me very well.
"My day is complete when I see your smile"
I hide my face when I feel it will turn red like a tomato this is what gets me from being near with him losing myself.
"Stop... Being romantic Clint is not working" I just eat the corndog and start focusing it there. The atmosphere is getting bigger and I can't handle it anymore. The gesture of him is making me feeling something in my system.
" If you say so"
The tone of his voice is saying I'm lying about what I said. And when I look at his face devil smile is representing it.
The hand that holding the corndog starting to sweat and shaking from knowing that. This man knows I starting liking his pick-up lines.
Think about something Romina you need to escape from his look. Oh my gosh, he is so handsome the way his brown eyes start to sweating dig on my soul is crazy.
I look away after mesmerizing his look. I need to stop so I can go home.
"Hahahahaha ....oh!!! We are here you know our house so... See you ... I need to go...." I start running to my house not looking at him anymore. I finished eating the food he gave and throw it in the garbage near to our house.
Running is not the best way now because I know tomorrow he will tease me of this but I don't care at all I'm tired and need to rest the whole day of working.
