".Time can do wonders in a relationship."

Chapter 47 - Shock

Seconds passed quickly. Still no response. Isabelle felt the humiliation streaming in her. What if he wouldn't respond. What if he just passed by her. What if he didn't recognize her at all? Isabelle was about to turn her head away when an angel - like voice came to her ears.

"Hello", Miguel said with such innocence and a smile overcame his face.

Isabelle's heart beat faster than before. Her eyes were directly looking at Miguel. She couldn't move. Her lips more immobile. Her mind was going places. She couldn't think properly. Miguel was standing there. And he just talked to her. One word changed it all. One word made her heart pound and her mind swirl. It was breathtaking.

"Can I have that?", Miguel asked with his arms extended towards Isabelle's hand. She was still stuck in dreamland. Isabelle gave her hand.

"Umm. I was talking about the pack of food. If you don't mind. I'm a little hungry.", Miguel's smile had faded and he was looking annoyed.

Snap out of it, Isabelle's mind shouted at her. She was staring at Miguel. She hadn't said anything for nearly a minute. Miguel coughed, his food was still not given and the others at the back of the line was starting to get irritated. At that Isabelle awoke from her shock. She felt stupid. She gulped then gave the snack to Miguel with a little humiliation. She shook her head when Miguel went back to his seat. When, she thought, would they ever have a conversation together. She sighed, a frown building up.
