Short Story- Random Dinner

Eva was walking down the street with her best friend Sarah one evening when Eva said "Oh fuck me" to Sarah during their conversation.

A guy who was randomly passing by answered,"At least let me buy you dinner first."

Surprised by his response Eva turned around to see him. Instead of being angry she found it very amusing. She laughed and said, "Sure, What do I get to eat then?"
"Whatever you want, young lady," replied the boy.

Eva said goodbye to her friend and went to the nearby local eating place with the mysterious stranger. After finding a suitable place to sit, they placed their orders.

" So, what's your name, mystery man?" asked Eva.

"Simon and yours?"

"Eva."

" I didn't expect you to actually come with me, you know. I was just messing around and I really thought either you would ignore me or be annoyed with me. But I guess things turned out differently."

" Ha ha...You said 'dinner' and where there's food there's heaven." said Eva while digging into her plate.

They talked about all the trivial things in the world and the troubles going on in their lives. They conversed as if they have known each other since forever. Time passed by real quick. Later on Simon walked Eva home. They said their goodbye's and parted their ways.

At times we just need random strangers in our lives to talk our hearts out to and to feel lively again. Sometimes most random things give us immense joy and satisfaction.
