Fiction: Life is a Bitch. Deal with it.

"You seduced me," he said. She laughed and rolled her eyes. Maybe she did... But he invited her and had estimated that she should be going in two hours. Soon. It was raining outside and he did not stop her from leaving. He did not even offer her an umbrella or walk her out.

"How old are you?" he asked. She did not answer. She was thinking to herself that age did not matter. The point was that very moment that she was going to treasure for a long time, if not forever.

She wanted to tell him the story of her life, but she said to herself what was the point if he was going to forget about her the following day. She wanted to tell him that she was just testing him, but turned out all came out from her lips was "I don't know". She was not ready to open up.

He opened the door and stretched his arms wide. She smiled, did not embrace the gesture. She wanted him to make her stay, but he never did.

So tomorrow is going to be another day. Another encounter with another soul. Another unexpected thing. What is the point of falling in love, she said to herself. Life is a bitch, so deal with it.
