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."1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpff0EROT55

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.1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbHd3nSrKr

"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."1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaQMcwPvYM
1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDshN8PKhEy
"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!"1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMlqQ6DdP5

The clouds roared back, and rain shattered. I fought with the umbrella.1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2QsC00uiw
1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm1sRa7bKA
"So it's a date!" Gabe shouted over the hysteria. 1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIAQQciINm
1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi0xKLGCAp
"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.1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO7KyypVLN

The umbrella slapped Gabe ... again. I SHRIEKED in horror.1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV8OOr3DQy

"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!" 1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSEfKWrkpZ

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..."1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlTCal2Ni5
1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtAKxdICyk
"So it's a date, Miranda," Gabe said, pleased. "That is spectacular."1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL609rziaNA
1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkbdsmZf7w
"It is NOT a date," I insisted. "This is strictly normal and boring. People get hit by lightning all the time, Gabe."1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5hqi4xknG
1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhChq0rhAit
"And you're buying!" He pointed an accusing finger.1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnJLLm1sFi
1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAsF3dGQOJ
"No, if anything it is YOU who are buying," I bickered. 1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3BU3Tcnbb
1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIRDQvThg0
"If I'm buying, ergo it's a date."1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrIXCOEHbq
1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi2M3NIBMA
"NOPE. WRONG. Regardless of someone buying, it is NOT--"1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AWQlX1wu0

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.1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca57ckvXg2
1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lS2IDice6
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.1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW7uOFQDtN
1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtz3fOfBuo
"Kiss me?" 1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj1erw7GBZ
1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPvaVI0L8O
It was so OBVIOUS he was going to be my husband.1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcaztTqQw2
So OBVIOUS he was going to be the father of my child.1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZYh0641aZ
Gabe. That sweet dork. How can I not love him? 1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvNMdpqLLs
1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfdgIhtiQq
"No, you kiss me," I said. His eyes closed, as if to melt.
In our hospital gowns, we locked lips. And the rest?1157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpouh3CiqkC
The rest was, as they say, a WEIRD love story.
