the pizza man's crush

DAY 1

i knock on the door,holding a bag with hot pizza in it
a woman opens the door,overworked
i could see the tiredness in her eyes
the pizza exchange hands
i cant stop looking at her
then she speak "find ur own level,pizzaman"
i lowered my view, i'm only a pizza delivery man

DAY 2

the second day i went to her house.
i could hear a a slow jazz music were playing
a guy opens the door,
her boyfriend,i guess
no surprise
i said nothing
take the money and back to the restaurant
but somehow i feel a slight of jealousy
i push the feeling faraway

DAY 3

i knock on the door, i could smell a faint aroma of liquor
she's opened the door, she's drunk
poor her. somehow, i know something bad happen to her
she take the pizza and went in.
she come back with money in her hand but
before she could give it to me
she collapsed

DAY 4

i stay up in her house, she's lying on my lap
she slowly open her eyes
she smile,there's no expression showing that
she's surprised
her smile faint. she sit beside me.
and started to talk "actually i need someone talk to"
she smile with hope.
but i stand up and say "i'm a pizzaman, i'm not the guy to talk to"
i started to walk towards the door.
before i could take my third step.
a pair of arm wrap me.
she hug me from behind, and she's crying.
"please stay...."

TODAY


now it's all have changed
i came without pizza but with a bouquet of roses
red roses
i knock on the door
a woman opens the door
she hug me
what can i say
she's now my girlfriend, she's a businesswoman
and i'm just a
PIZZA DELIVERY MAN
