Strangers Conversation

Determined to not shift my gaze away from my own page 
“Oh look!”
I thought to myself of a handsome looking man he looked 
Tall with a feeling of a stranger when he entered my house 

I did not know they made him so scorching with nothing aggravating him from his hotness 
I did not think he was made to fart and sweat all at the same time, making it look so sexy I remembered when I did not know who he was but him entering my house gave me a familiar feeling so unusual 

I knew nothing. Other people like the woman in the room and the man moving up and down with him knew so much about him while I stood at a stand still smiling myself from bone to cheeks out of the room trying to understand why this stranger made me feel so uncomfortable 

I kept to myself while I tried to remain ignorant for my staring at his handsome body 
The conversation I had with my head was revolting with “who, me?”
I could not believe myself at that moment
“Giggling myself out of the room”
Yeah! That was crazy, right? 

He rolled out a conversation so smoothly putting his eyes down to avoid contact 
This was a grant away from humanity and attention for we made the strangest conversation as strangers
