Tomato red.

I decided to go shopping briefly for something special. I went into a variety of shops and automatically my thoughts became silent.

"Hello There" 

I turned around and it was you, you were practically eye to eye with me. My face became as red as a tomato and I couldn't think anymore. I literally said, Uhm Hi, just as a quick reaction. I wanted to walk off; I didn't want to be here! I was embarrassed to find that I was going to be spending at least the next five minutes with you. How was I supposed to stop being red and ignore your insistence? 

I couldn't help myself, you continued to talk and my blood rushed around faster. You finally said bye and it left me puzzled, however not as puzzled as my audience. Are you Okay? 

I replied yes, I'm fine. Just fine. I embarked on the journey to my car, still knowing I'm a couple of steps from you, I could catch you up and offer you a lift, BUT I'd be expecting the same reaction I had a few seconds ago. I stayed put and you turned a corner, I could breathe again.

I locked myself in my car and wanted to cry. My face throbbing and my heart being generous with blood. I didn't want to go home, I needed time to myself. I drove the long way home and opened the window to ventilate my skin. I breathed heavily and hoped I could disguise my tomato red completion.

To this day I still question this, why did I react like this!
