landon

my mouth hung agape,

stunned by your sudden

outburst and the harsh

look in your eye as if

any minute fuzzy laser

lights of red would flash

through your pupils and

melt me in plain sight.

there were only a few

times i would ever see

you glare but then, there

was that one glare that

forever haunted my mind.

that one awful night

that changed everything

between us.

i hadn’t noticed my

breathing had stopped

until your eyes began

to soften, darting

between your book and i.

“you’re blonde,” i mumbled

rocking back on my heels;

attempting to regain

composure instead of

mimicking a dog with his

tail between his legs.

“what?” you breathed

looking up at me with

furrowed brows pressed

together and your nose

scrunched.

i grinned, knowing you

wouldn’t understand nor

believe how much i missed

one small action.

“your hair,” i pointed to

your scalp with my pen.

i probed the inside of my

cheek with my tongue

to stifle the laughter

wanting to break through

as you were oblivious to

the changes that weren’t

different to you but only

me. “oh” you chirped,

your voice louder than

before, “yeah, it’s…”

“it’s nice” i rushed,

my mouth in full control

over my mind.

i mentally cursed myself

for speaking while you

smiled softly and

looked away, not even

mumbling a thank you

as if you were pretending

i didn’t speak.

pretending,

i wasn’t standing by your

table-

instead was the person

your eyes were searching

for at the door.

AN// I know this is a superrrrr late update but better late than never right ? ;-) I’ve been super busy the past couple of weeks and didn’t have the time to sit, write, and edit. Fortunately for me, today was Super Bowl Sunday and besides watching the game right now, I was able to do some writing! :-) This upcoming week will also be a bit busy for me and I’ll be going away this upcoming weekend so again updates may be a bit slow but I promise you they will not be like this for long. I do plan on updating more frequently after this week. Thank you so much for being understanding and patient with updates ! Love you guys :-) xxx
