Haerin

I couldn't stop looking at her, she's so beautiful. The stunning yellow dress complimented her so well. She was the sun and that leaves me being the moon. I could see the faint blush on her cheek as she looked back at me.

"Stop staring at me like that." She said as she tried to hide behind her ice cream cone. I let out a laugh as I took a bite of mine. "You're too pretty for me to be able to look away." I said and I noticed her cheeks going a darker shade of pink.

Oh! How much I want to be with her.

I've never been in a relationship, I've never fallen in love. All of this is new to me. Sometimes I don't understand what certain things mean, or what to do with those unknown feelings

Yes, I've had women in and out of my life, but that was never something serious, all I ever looked for was for someone to fill in the void for a night, and then kick them out of my apartment once I regretted what had happened the previous night.

I had no control of my life back then, all I did was escape over and over again, finding excuses to avoid my reality. Like the coward I had always been.

And to be honest, with Danielle, I have found peace, all the pain and torment just seems to vanish when I talk to her. I stopped running away, I stood my ground and faced myself with everything that had happened in my life.

It felt as if my life had finally started to align itself. That I was finally going to go through my assigned path in life. Which was with Danielle.

I looked down at her hand, that was neatly placed on the table, tapping away to some tune playing around us in the ice cream shop. I carefully reached out to her and placed my hand over hers, catching her off guard.

She looked at me, with a certain look I couldn't seem to understand. "Danielle, I-" I couldn't seem to put my thoughts in to a simple sentence. What was I even trying to say?

And how was I supposed to properly speak when Danielle was looking at me with those beautiful doe eyes as she waited for me to speak. "God, you're beautiful." And upon realizing what I said I let go of her hand and covered my mouth and scrambled in my thoughts.

"I meant-I uh, you want to get out of here?" I asked instead, averting her gaze. Stupid Haerin. That's not what you wanted to say at all! Haerin, you fool!

And at the moment I heard the most heart warming giggle ever, I looked at Danielle as she kept giggling with a faint blush tainted on her cheeks. "Thank you for the compliment, bubs." And that's all it took for me to start blushing and to start thrashing around like a little girl when her crush is around, causing my knee to shoot up and hit the bottom of the table, causing me to bend forward in pain, and to hit my forehead against the table. Ouch!

I groaned in pain as I noticed that the few customers here turned to look at me in worry. I only waved them off letting them know I was okay. But all pain vanished when my ears picked up on Danielle's laughter. Her pearly white teeth shined in the form of her smile. Her eyes nearly closed as she kept laughing. Her head slightly tilted back as she tried to catch her breath. Maybe being a fool isn't so bad, if it means to get this laughter from her.

In the midst of her laughter, I heard Danielle speak. "Are you okay?" She asked, I shook my head as my eyes were forced shut as I rubbed one hand on my knee and the other on my forehead. My ice cream completely forgotten.

"Maybe we should really get out of here." She said with a slight chuckle and I could only nod in agreement as I watched her stand up causing me to stand up as well. I grabbed my trash and slightly cleaned the table. I followed behind Danielle, slightly limping. I avoided the eyes that were watching me, and focused on the girl with that beautiful yellow dress that made her look so gorgeous.

Once I threw my trash away in the trash bin near the door, I suddenly felt a hand over mine. I looked down to see Danielle's fingers, interlacing with mine in a tight grip causing my heart to skip a good couple of beats. I don't know of that good or not.

Danielle basically dragged us both back to my car, but what I did not expect was for her to lean me up against the hood of my car, her leaning against me. I was feeling a lot of things in that moment.

I tried to keep my eyes connected to hers but her lips kept calling my attention, I couldn't help myself.

Danielle was only smiling at me, if anything her smile was a little mischievous. "Bubs?" And again, that pet name. I groaned as I pulled her closer to me, bringing her in to a tight hug. I tried to hide my face on her shoulder but she held my head with her hands.

"If that has that much of an effect on you, how much does 'baby' have?" She asked, oh lord, I might kiss her if she calls me baby. I would commit crimes to hear her say it though. I pulled back from the hug and looked at her.

"Where should we go now?" She asked, her darn eyes shooting right through my soul. I want her all to myself. I won't ever let her go. I'd take her anywhere just to be able to be with her longer.

"I don't know, where would you want to go?" I asked, she shrugged as she took a couple of seconds to think about it. "Oh! Let's go to the park!" She said excitedly and who was I to deny this beauty?

She let out a sound of happiness as she watched me nod. I could only close my eyes when she leaned forwards and placed a lingering kiss on my cheek. That level of intimate affection, I've never experienced, I've never felt it before.

I let out a sigh when I felt her hand reach up and cup my other cheek. I've never been one for physical touch or affection, but having Danielle touch me this way was making me go crazy. I wanted her touch on me, on every inch of my body. Even in places she'd only see.

She leaned forward again and placed our foreheads against each other. Fuck, I wanted to kiss her so bad. Oh god. She pressed herself against me even more. Is it me, or is it hot in here?

Breathe Haerin, breathe!

"I want to be yours."
