Smitten by the Love Bug
59,Gordon Street,Downtown Estate,700046.
Jenny was in her bedroom,tormented by insomnia.At the crack of dawn,a shaft of sunlight streamed through the windows.She woke up and decided to savour the taste of roasted black coffee.She was fifteen.
She stepped out into the porch with a cup of coffee in her hand.The light morning breeze ruffled her hair slightly and she felt a tingling sensation .She shut her eyes and cherished the first rays of the sun that seeped through her face.After a while,she began to analyze the movement of the coffee foam; the bubbles began to resurface and cling to the walls of the cup.She carefully observed the seamless diffusion of the black coffee granules into the milk.The dark brown hue of cocoa always enthralled her.She let the aroma penetrate her senses and sipped it.
Right across the street, there lied a nice new gabled house,with it's sixth of an acre of neatly mowed lawn as backyard with wild plants,roses and chrysanthemums accentuating it.She tried to peer through it's open doors and sliding windows, from a distance.The interior was barely visible,but had the aura of enigma and splendour.The door of the house read,'Barbara Point"
"It's such a beauty! I wonder why there is no one inhabiting it", she said to the cup and frowned.
Unworthy of it's view,she turned back to leave,unless the corner of her eye caught the glimpse of something moving. She narrowed her eyes to perceive the most breathtaking view ever.
On the balcony of the house,there stood a man,in his mid twenties,almost six feet tall.She almost rallied herself to rationalize that he might have hailed from Czech or Ireland—deep blue of the eyes pitted with shadows of the dark circles circumventing them, chiselled face and his cropped black hair.At fifteen,her adrenaline battled against the sedatives she had just popped into her mouth,a few minutes back. She could feel her heart hammering against her chest and sipped more coffee as her mouth became dry.
Sweat trickled down his midriff ,which looked like a barbed mesh ,due to the rigorous workout and intense muscle toning which he was fond of.He was bathing his body in sunlight. Immersed in delirium as she was then,she could almost feel the coffee grains and bubbles ripple through his hair,straight from her cup.
"I fell head over heels in love when I saw you,
Oh Darling,with every passing day,you make me feel beautiful and new!"
She murmured to herself.
Her chain of thoughts broke soon.
A hand swirled around and embraced his chest,like a serpent gyrating the bark of a tree.Another young girl,emerged from behind.In contrast to his unprecedented appearance,her face looked like a pancake.She looked like a middle-aged woman,with yellowish-grey frizzy hair and a bulbous nose.She rode on his back with ease and his lips soon curved into a smile emanating complacence. He kissed her lips brusquely and then continued with his push ups.
The intensity of the sunrays now coupled with the hot molten lava that churned inside Jenny's stomach, splintering her dreams and ripping her insides apart.
