Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well, we are a guild of the arts so I decided I'd post this story I wrote here. I can't really draw or anything so I hope this will count.

This is my first ♥ story and it's kinda weird and corny and stuff but I hope you guys will like it. Tell me what you think!

_____________________________________________________________

I glanced to take a look at her when I saw them, those arresting green eyes. I didn’t expect to gaze at them so long but I was lost in them.

It was a while before I found myself and discovered she had noticed me. I felt my temperature rise, my heart race, and my face change to a reddish color.

I didn’t know what to do. She made a slight smile and it shocked me so I turned even redder and tried to look away, pretending I hadn’t noticed. I was horribly shy and easily embarrassed.

It was a while before I looked again and saw that she was looking at me. This time, however, she was looking at me different. She looked impatient. I felt ashamed now for turning away before. Had I hurt her? If I had I would never forgive myself. I had only one thing to do. I had to go speak to her, but just as the thought arose, I saw her rise from her seat.

“Damn it!” I thought to myself, “Why am I such an insensitive coward? It’s no wonder I haven’t ever noticed someone that liked me.” But as I said that to myself, I saw that she had in fact gotten up, but she was headed this way.

I changed from embarrassed to a feeling close fear as she walked towards me. She was the perfect picture of beauty with her long dark hair, blooming teenage body and the face of an angel. I couldn’t imagine anyone better-looking.

In my head, I was in a panic. She was looking right at me, walking this way. What would I say? What could I do? Will she bite my head off for turning away earlier?

She had gotten to my table. I melted at the smile she gave me as she asked “Hi, can I sit here?” She pointed to the seat across from mine.

“Uhh, sure” I answered. “Thanks” she said.

I tried my best to smile and sit quietly and politely in front of her. I had no clue what to do. That’s when she asked “So what are you doing?”

“Oh, just waiting for my friends. Those idiots are late again” I said jokingly to relieve some of the tension between us.

“Heh, I know what you mean. My friends are late too.”

We laughed at the strange coincidence but after that we were at loss for words. I was too nervous to spark up conversation. She just looked uncomfortable. Why did she even come over here if she felt this way?

A while passed without us speaking even one word to each other. Finally I saw her smile before she broke the silence. “I saw you looking at me while I was sitting over there.” Again, my pulse spiked and I felt my face turn a dark red.

“Oh, uh…yeah sorry” I said with a weak smile.

“It’s ok” she said. “I was just wondering why and at what?”

Damn, I was busted. How was I going to get out of this situation? My mind was at a stall. All I could think to say was the truth so I just told myself “Out with it!”
“Um, well…I hope you don’t think of me as a creep or anything but…I think you’re very pretty.”

She looked away sort of embarrassed. “Pfft, no I’m not. You’re just saying that. I mean, all I seem to attract are some guys desperate for attention. Just a bunch of jerks.”

“You’ve got to be kidding me! You’re…you’re…” I stopped myself before I went too far. “You’re…nice, and I won’t let you say otherwise.”

She looked back and said “Thanks, but you still haven’t answered my question!” As she said it I noticed that she was getting redder around the cheeks too. I grew more nervous and yet more relaxed at the thought. What was she thinking?
She gave me a smile that made her virtually glow, and as she did so I could tell that she had for sure turned redder. “So are you going to tell me what you were looking at or not!”

I gave a laugh at the thought and I felt much more comfortable now talking to her. She was really nice to be around. “Well, specifically, I guess, I was looking at your eyes. They’re just…entrancing. There’s no other word for it. And also, I can see what kind of person you are by looking into them.”

She was blushing without shame now but she didn’t seem nervous like I was. She looked happy because of what I had said to her. She got up and sat next to me. She was inches from my face when she asked me “What kind of person am I then?”
My heart felt like it was about to explode and fly out of my ribcage. I didn’t know where all this was coming from but I still went on. “Short version or long version” I asked with a playful smile.

She tilted her head down but she was still fixed on my eyes. “Short version” she giggled.

“Well in that case I’ll just say, you’re my kind of person.”

The next few things that happened came as a great surprise to me. The last thing I would ever think possible to happen to me happened.

She took a little leap while she was sitting to be close to me. She moved her face closer to mines. I could hear her deep breathing. I could feel her warm breath on my face. I just sat there, still and in shock. What was she doing?

She closed her eyes and leaned towards me. She stopped an inch from my face and said. “I don’t know why I feel this way about you. I haven’t really talked to you much but I’ve watched you. I’ve seen how you act and heard from others what kind of person you are. I know you’re quiet, and shy but I kind-of like that. You also help other’s more than you help yourself. I’m just afraid that…you can still hurt me like the others.” She looked down.

I lowered my head and looked up to see into her face. I could see the confusion and sadness in it. I smiled and told her “I don’t think I could ever-” and then I was cut off. She leaned in all the way and pressed her lips against mine. I just sat there, wide-eyed. I could tell she wanted to put as much feeling and meaning into it as she could. She was kissing me and although it lasted only a few seconds, it felt like it could’ve lasted 1000 eternities before our lips parted.

I melted. My face was so red hot I thought I’d catch fire. Now we were just sitting there, looking at each other, trying to absorb what had just happened.

“Had that really just happened?” I thought. I was in a state of shock. All I could do was look at her. She seemed downcast. I couldn’t understand why though.
“What’s wrong?” I asked. She looked up at me and I saw that her eyes were a bit watery. “It’s nothing forget it.” She said. She rose like if she was about to leave but I grabbed the sleeve of her shirt.

“I know that’s not true. Tell me. I’d hate to see you suffer like this.”

She sat down and looked at me “It’s just…I can see from the look in your eyes that you don’t feel the same way about me as I feel about you.”

“That’s not true! It’s just…I can’t believe…you know.” I really could accept that she could like me so much in that way. I could never see anything in myself, and yet it looked like she saw what she wanted in me. Me! Of all people!

“You can’t believe what? That I like you?” She asked.

“Yeah, I mean, you’ve got it all. You’re pretty you’re nice, you’re friendly and smart. What do I have? What can you possibly see in me?”

She put her arms around my neck and laced her fingers behind me. A smile came to her face before she told me “You may not see it because it’s right in front of you and you have it all the time and just don’t notice it. You’re kind at heart, smart when you want to be, fun to be around, you have an unstoppable hidden will (I’ve seen you use it), and you’re good-looking despite anything you say.”

She put her head on my shoulder and leaned it onto mines so that I could feel the soft skin of her face on mines, and then she hugged me tight. It was like she never wanted to let go.

“Ok-ok, stop you’re choking me.” I said. She let go immediately. “Sorry!” “Just kidding” I laughed. She smiled and hit me. “I thought you were serious!” “Nah. Hey, you wanna just go walk around. I think that my friends ditched me by now.” “Sure” she said. “I can go out with mines anytime anyways.”

I have a story like that too. It's a very very big one but I've only written out a summary of the prologue and the 1st chapter.

Thanks Hanna ^^
