“Waiting, waiting for what?” Lola said. Alex turned his head towards her and answered: “I’m waiting for love.” Lola laughed out loud: “Waiting for love? Love isn’t just going to float toward you you know?” Alex sighed and looked out over the lake again. Lola tilted her head and said curiously: “whose love are you waiting for?” Alex laughed nervously: “N- Nomed.” Lola raised an eyebrow: “you mean the owner of the gun shop down the road?” Alex nodded. Lola sighed: “Maybe you should go up to him first if you want his love. He’s never going to notice an average Joe like you.” Alex wanted to reply angrily but stopped himself, he thought to himself: ‘she isn’t wrong though…’. Then he spoke up: “Well I guess you’re right.” Lola smiled smugly: “as usual.” “Oh zip it Lola!” Alex pushed her playfully. Lola chuckled: “Now shoo Alex you’ve got some love to admit.” - By Doolhof
