ONE
Wenche strolled along the park, it was a beautiful sunny day and she was listening to her walkman,
lost in the music playing through the tiny earphones in her ears, she was listening to U2, their songs were always uplifting
and made her feel good, her favorite song was playing which was One, listening to Bono's voice as if he was singing it to
her personally, she was so wrapped up in it she closed her eyes enjoying the music she didnt see the person coming towards
her, until it was too late and she banged straight into them, rudely sending her out of her reverie as she found a pair of
arms grab her to stop her from falling over, she found herself looking into a pair of concerned blue eyes, belonging to a
young fairhaired man.
"Oh sorry" she then quickly apologised feeling her face go bright red, hastily removing her earphones so she could hear
what he was saying..
"Its ok" he replied "I wasn't looking where I was going".
"me neither" Wenche replied and they both laughed "I was to busy listening to my walkman, I got carried away and forgot
where I was" she explained feeling foolish..
"It must be good music then" the young man grinned.
"Yes.. U2" she informed him..
"You are a U2 fan?.. hey so am I love their stuff" the young man then said "by the way my name is Kurt" he told her holding
out his hand..
"Nice to meet you Kurt" Wenche replied tentively putting her hand in his and they shook, his hand felt firm and warm, and
Wenche was surprised the affect it had on her..
"What song are you listening to?" he then enquired..
"One, its my absolute favorite" Wenche replied..
"well what do you know, mine too" Kurt laughed, "hey maybe its fate we bumped into each other like this, to find out we
have some things in common".
Wenche grinned "That is some chat up line, not quite sure if I should fall for it though".
"Well it was worth a try" Kurt shrugged.
I believe U2 are coming here to do a concert in a few weeks time" Kurt then said..
"I know I already bought my ticket" Wenche informed him.
"Me too" Kurt replied and winked "thats another thing we have in common.
Wenche laughed "Do you always get so chatty with girls you just accidently bump into?" she demanded.
"Only when I really like them" Kurt replied and Wenche felt her face heat up at his compliments.. she scolded herself for
letting this young man have such an affect on her, she didnt even know him.. apart from the fact he was a U2 fan like her..
"I have embarrassed you have'nt I" Kurt realised seeing how her face had reddened and she could hardly meet his eyes.
. "Sorry about that, don't take any heed of me.. I am just too full of the old charm, I can't resist useing it on pretty
girls".
"But I am not pretty" Wenche told him.
"They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder" Kurt replied "And I behold you are pretty".
"You are right.. you are too full of charm" Wenche laughed of his compliments "And I won't take any heed of you at all".
"Shame" Kurt replied "Because for once I was being serious", his blue eyes rested on her intently and Wenche felt her heart
flutter crazily in her chest.. she couldnt believe this was happening to her ....things like this didn't happen to her.
"I-I had better get going" she then said "I am on my lunch break from work and I have to get back".
"Oh I see" Kurt replied "ok. I won't hold you up any longer, sorry if I made you uncomfortable.".
"Its ok" she replied "actually it was kind of nice" she blurted out feeling her face heat up at this admission..
Kurt smiled "Maybe see you at the U2 concert in a few weeks time" he said.
. "Yeah maybe" Wenche replied.. but knowing that there was going to be about 14 thousand people there she thought it highly
unlikely..
