Stalking You
Of Porcelain And Steel
“Here! Take these!”I said, placing the roses into my maids arms. “Take them all home, understand? Give them to mother to put them in my room. Be careful not to lose any of them, understand?”
“B-but…MISS! WHERE ARE YOU GOING ALONE?!”she yelled after me as I ran off, following my target.
I hid behind people, I pretended that I wanted to buy something from nearby stands…I did it so that I could approach him. Being close enough to him, I could analyze him without being seen. He had his black hair styled under the usual hat. His tall figure was standing out even in the crowded market, making the young ladies looking at him with smiles on their faces. And the fact that he was looking at products made for women was drawing even more the attention of the female population.
Pretending to look at a silver hair pin, I glanced at his hands that were holding a woman’s shoe. His fingers were slender and long, with masculine nails cut short.

“The guts he has!”I muttered to myself.
But even so, I continued my stalking. Yes. It was stalking. But I was curious. I wanted to know him. I wanted to know more about him without him knowing a thing about me. ‘Coz when the time would come, I would show him just how easy is to fall for me. And then…crush him!
What was surprising was the fact that despite having so many girls around him, he was alone. He was alone, looking for some female accessories. Strange, huh? But actually, even though everyone seemed to recognize him, no one really approached him to talk to him. He was all alone.

“I can’t believe I actually followed him around all day long!”I muttered in disbelieve as I saw the sun was about to set. “And now I’m stuck here! Where is this place anyway?!”
