ride [l.t]

xi. mia

i admit i was shocked at first, but i didn't fight the urge to smile.

i felt like i was dreaming. like nothing was certain or expected. i felt in cloud nine.

we just stared at each other for a while, like we didn't understand what was going on.

that was until he cleared his throat and offered me his hand.

"i'm louis."

i stretched his hand as a grin stretched in my lips.

"mia."

silence took over, but it wasn't awkward nor uncomfortable.
i felt safe and secure.

even though i was sitting on a bench at the park, with a stranger sitting next to me, i felt happier than i've ever felt.

it was all because of him.

him.
