It was a VERY strong wind that day, and I absolutely swear to god that none of it was my fault. Seriously, guys. It was the WIND that knocked my umbrella into that dork's face. And his coffee fell too, rolling away. I explicitly articulated my most SINCEREST apologies and how I was just as much publicly humiliated as him.
"What is wrong with you-- I'm Gabe by the way--," he took my gloved hand to shake before returning to his nuclear meltdown. "--And what is wrong with you, coming out of nowhere, a ninja slash cat monkey assaulting my vulnerability, battering me to a pulp, leaving me struggling within in an inch of my life. I have asthma, you brute. Precious people like me die from wheezing. How dare you."
"I am MIRANDA," I shrug at Gabe. "Guess I am TOO MUCH of a woman for you."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7txdfyLOM

With the last word, I STRUT away. A minute later, it grew apparent he won't let that happen. He ran to my side, stammering and BLUBBERING like a fool.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccKzMyZRjg

"Now, just wait a gosh-darned second here!" Gabe raised a finger. I kept a straight face when inside I just wanted to LOL. "You still owe me coffee-- and for mangling my face-- who knows if I ever see you again."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4zZMaSeP5
1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFccPdlLQI
"I did not MANGLE your face! The wind did! Your face is not mangled, your face is perfectly FINE!" I huffed, realizing we stood outside the cafe. "I am being blackmailed and entrapped. I am not okay with it!"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pjFVccWS3

The clouds roared back, and rain shattered. I fought with the umbrella.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MdCpi1wfp
1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSEEeuoUSZ
"So it's a date!" Gabe shouted over the hysteria. 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4LVQFocI5
1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9RDHmgcOG
"NO. GOODBYE FOREVER." I stormed off into the storm, wrestling with the umbrella and the wind. It took until the stoplight when Gabe ran up at the moment the wind grew VERY strong again. I swear to god, it was NOT ME the first time and it was STILL not me the second time. SMACK.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ889EP4tFpT

The umbrella slapped Gabe ... again. I SHRIEKED in horror.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSNBMqivFR

"What is wrong with you-- ," Gabe said as the pedestrian sign lit up and chased me across the splashing street. "-- I think I'm bleeding! Am I bleeding? My poor mangled face. You may rob me of my coffee and my dignity but you can't get rid of me that easy, infernal murderess. A menace to society, I say! We are all in danger!"
"Then stay FAR away from me!" 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9gZVKEdEw

Gabe took my gloved hand, and at that moment our hair rose. White lightning struck -- shocking us both. We keeled over, tased and jolted in waves until it was over. We glanced at each other with fresh and cooked eyes. Smoke steamed from our bodies. Boots were knocked from our feet. We marveled that we were electrocuted and somehow miraculously survived. I nodded, "Okay... Coffee sounds good right now..."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0lGvDOEgr
1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ9Wv82dJB
"So it's a date, Miranda," Gabe said, pleased. "That is spectacular."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jItmdy932
1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ymmeob53J
"It is NOT a date," I insisted. "This is strictly normal and boring. People get hit by lightning all the time, Gabe."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFtS53Ic20
1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28RyDgGGMB
"And you're buying!" He pointed an accusing finger.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89sF0p4t95
1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J2VGw1I0q
"No, if anything it is YOU who are buying," I bickered. 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCfSkdR8KG
1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdW2LzfraW
"If I'm buying, ergo it's a date."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbyzhktomZ
1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a2VGUOJvx
"NOPE. WRONG. Regardless of someone buying, it is NOT--"1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hEtq904gf

We got struck by white lightning twice and wound up in the hospital, in the same room, with a curtain drawn between us. We spent hours staring at the ceiling arguing whose fault it was and how awful the coffee were here.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmT7ekWkcR
1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3kq2w3u6a
Then his voice stopped. I looked at the curtain, hearing a droning flatline. I tore the curtain back. He was off the machine, leaning in for a kiss.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4l5q8NrMm
1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95t54TFxVm
"Kiss me?" 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsFECid8bZ
1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNl6va6s6A
It was so OBVIOUS he was going to be my husband.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRUBMVNpYW
So OBVIOUS he was going to be the father of my child.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqXDLUxg1n
Gabe. That sweet dork. How can I not love him? 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT1rWtmX6c
1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGtUzacEq0
"No, you kiss me," I said. His eyes closed, as if to melt.
In our hospital gowns, we locked lips. And the rest?1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD0vsG0Ouu
The rest was, as they say, a WEIRD love story.
