How am I still here!?
“Is there something wrong with the food?” saying across from the table, was the giant women. “Oh, nothing's wrong with food.” I said.
I thought soon after I bumped into her I would be on my way back to my place; but she made a meal for me. As well I am sitting here my nerves are acting up on me to the point it seems i'm sweating buckets. It's a very ugly sight to see that i'm surprised she doesn't have the face of ‘disgust’ when she looks over here. I think also the main reason I'm having this crisis right now is probably because of how long It's been since i had this type of contact with another person not too mention it's a girl no less.So my many years of me being anti-social have finally taken it's toll on me. With showing great concern on her face she said “Are you sure you are alright?” With my voice cracking on me I did a very quiet response “ye-s.” with her questioning my statement she did a sigh as basically a remark to what I said. I'm pretty sure she can how i feel right now. So me being ‘alright’ in here is pretty false to say on me. She got done with finishing her plate she came over and took mine, there was still a good portion of the meal on my plate. Starting feeling myself flowing with nerves seeing that i made her waste food on me with even showing no form of gratitude towards her. Having this uneasy feeling; to try to calm myself down what i would do is twirling my thumbs together trying to focus on that instead of how i'm feeling right now. After seeing her put the dishes away in the kitchen i see her going into the hallway and walking inside a room, with curiosity i peeked my head into the hallway.
With trying to raise my voice I call out to the woman “hello, miss?” She shouted back to me from the room she was in “yeah, what is it?” With slight nerves coming onto me I hesitantly started moving my way to the room she was in. Making it to the entrance of the door I tryed to finally express my gratitude for her helping me. “I-I, wanted to say thank you for your help back there, I promise to repay in full for you helping me!” She turned her head towards me with a tiny smile appearing on her face “Aw~ don't mention it, after all it wasn't fair to begin with, so I decided to step in and help you out that's all.” Slightly embarrassed I started turning my head away from her and laughed a bit nervously “haha~ you sure are right about that, well anyways I thank you again for your hospitality but I think it's best If I start leaving and head back to my place.” After i was done speaking I was on my way out back into the hallway until i felt the back of my shirt being pulled back with almost with a intense I turn around with the giant women pulling onto it. Humm, what's this!? She was looking down staring at me “I think it would be more safe for you to stay the night, just in case if those guys find you out in the streets right?” Thinking about it that way it does make sense but honestly i think i would rather still leave after all isn't this women being too comfortable of having a total stranger stay the night at her place? No matter the height difference between us it's safe to be sorry in my book, but maybe that's what gives her confidence to stay cool about it i guess. “Well, if you are comfortable with me staying here then I thank you again with all of my heart.” Even though i'm a bit sad now, reason being is that I now feel more indebted to her now. But there is one more thing I wanna ask her.

“So, if you don't mind answering this, could you tell me your name?” Since she's asking me to stay at her place I might as well know her name. Looking at me she wiped her hands on the side of her dressed and raised her hand towards me and said her name with simile across her face “It’s Zila.” looking at her for some reason my nerves from before had vanished in that instant. Feeling it go away I had a sense to return the favor back at her so I clutched her hand with mine “Nice to meet you Zila, i’m Mono glad to meet you.” I smiled back at her, I never really had this feeling before where i'm actually comfortable enough to give another person a handshake, just maybe today turned into a good day after all.
And as they clinged to each other's hand their bond formed was forged on that night that they will never forget.
