Stormy sat listening to the Christmas Carols on the radio as she sipped hot cocoa, in a few days her family would be there to celebrate Christmas. She watched the new guy who just moved into town walking down the side walk, actually. More like slipping and falling on the ice. Stormy could not help but to laugh at the tall lanky young man in his middle thirties with short brown hair and brown eyes. Finally after twenty more falls he made it to the café' sitting across from Stormy's table.
"Not use to the ice-covered side walks are we?" She asked trying to start up a conversation with her new neighbor.
"Spare me. Any idle chatter Miss." He snapped at Stormy whose brown eyes showed the humiliation he sent through her body.
She pushed her long brown hair from her face as she cleared her throat. * Excuse me Mr. Grump and may you fall even harder on your ass jerk* She thought to herself.
"Sorry for bothering you." She told him and looked down into her cup.
That night Stormy dressed in a red santa's dress, and grabbed her coat and skates as she hurried out of her apartment and ran down the hall to catch the elevator. She turned the corner and did not see the young man who snapped at her earlier turning the corner at the same time and they collided knocking each other down on their tushes. She looked at him with such shock until she realized it was Mr. Grumpy.
" Gee do you walk much?" She asked picking herself up.
"Me? You were the one running through here like a wild Indian." He snapped.
"I think you need prune juice because you're so unpleasant." She told him standing over him as he tried to get up.
"You young lady, need to be spanked." He snapped as he tried to get up off the floor.
