Summer Love for Skinny Matilda
Harold glared at Timothy from across the crowded beach, his voice laced with contempt as he confided in his friend Stella, “Why does he persist in pursuing Skinny Matilda?”
Stella, with a knowing smile, teased, “Could it be jealousy I detect, Harold?”
Caught off guard, Harold’s face flushed a shade of red, betraying his true feelings.
Stella’s gaze softened as she observed her flustered friend.
“Oh, Harold,” she said gently, “it’s clear you’ve fallen for Skinny Matilda.”
Harold sighed, the weight of unspoken affection heavy on his shoulders. “Indeed, I am smitten with her. But what should I do?”
“You must gather your courage and invite her out,” Stella urged, her encouragement as firm as the resolve in Harold’s heart.
Harold’s mind raced with doubt.
“But what if she accepts Timothy’s invitation instead?” asked Harold.
Stella scoffed, her confidence unwavering.
“Skinny Matilda has no fondness for him,” she asserted. “That much is obvious to everyone.”
Harold nodded, a memory surfacing. “True, though there was a time she sought his attention.”
“That was before she transformed, both in physique and in spirit,” Stella reminded him. “Timothy’s presence in her life would have only brought sorrow. Now, if you desire a chance with her, you must seize the moment.”
With tentative steps, Harold approached Skinny Matilda, just in time to hear her firmly reject Timothy’s advances.
“Hello, Skinny Matilda,” Harold greeted, his voice a mixture of nerves and hope. “Is everything alright?”
Skinny Matilda’s eyes sparkled with contentment. “Yes, everything is perfect.”
Harold took a deep breath, his heart racing with anticipation. “Would you honor me with your company for dinner?”
Skinny Matilda’s surprise quickly turned to delight.
“Oh, yes! I would love to!” Skinny Matilda exclaimed, excitedly.
Harold’s heart soared as he leaned in, planting a gentle kiss on her cheek, marking the beginning of a new chapter.
“To new beginnings,” Harold whispered.
“To new beginnings,” echoed Skinny Matilda, her cheeks aglow with the promise of a summer romance.
