Vanished (1) - A Short Story - Contributed by @imbigdee

Mary was at the central park with her friend Kate. They waited for response from colleges they sent applications to. When the responses werent coming forth, they decided to have as much fun as they could. It was a sunny afternoon and Mary was running from her friend when she bumped on a guy. He was huge that she felt flat on the ground. She was wrong not to look closely but her tongue was tied when the young man lifted her up and kept apologizing for the little incidence. She felt like an ant in his arms and got at the sight of his face. He was looking so good with a well-shaved hair and a face of a Greek god.

I am sorry for making you fall. I was lost in thought. He apologized as she eventually stood on her on feet. She wanted to reply but her tongue was tied.

My name is Charles. What is your name? He asked her and noticed her tied tongue. He smiled and it melted her heart. She eventually came to her senses and smiled back.

I am sorry, my name is Mary. I am deeply sorry for running at you this way.

Charles interrupted before she finished her statement. Mary forgot about Kate and took a stroll with Charles for an hour. Well, this was the beginning of their love affair.
