When He Met Her

Part VI

HIM:
His green eyes roam
Through the bobbing faces
Of students
Until he picks out the familiar
Slightly mussed hair
Of his admired girl.
He loves the way
Her blue eyes look in the morning;
Still laced with
Dreams of the previous night.
She seems to be searching through
The crowd the same way He
Was,
For when blue and green
Collide,
Her face splits into a
Grin.
All traces of sleep and dreams
Lost from her eyes.
He loves how happiness looks on her.
He makes his way towards her,
Not aware of how much he's smiling.
His outstretched fingers reach,
As if trying to close every inch of space between them,
And when their fingers touch
Soft words trickle out of his lips
And flow into her ear;
"Lets go somewhere."

HER:
Heartbeats turn into
Pounding drums
And she hopes he can hear them;
She wants him to hear
The beats only created when
He's around.
Cheeks turn into roses
As his lips form those words;
Exactly the words she was thinking
To say.
With shaky fingers
Intertwined,
Their legs hurry to
Escape the mind numbing crowd
To find a place where
Peace fills the air.
"How about the library?"
She tried to say over the
Still very loud crowd.
This place was where they
Traveled to
During their first day of meeting;
Just talking and walking.
His lips turned up at the corners
In response,
And a knowing look gleamed in
His emerald eyes.
After he looked away,
She studied his face;
Angular yet soft,
His lips turned down
In a permanent frown
And his eyes filled to the brim
With unspoken thoughts
And feelings.
Long black eyelashes
Like clouds hovering over a
Green sky
After a storm.
Minutes passed
While taking in his features,
Until he turned around
With a triumphant smirk
And spoke;
"You like what you see?"
Her nose scrunches;
"Eh-- I've seen better."
He rolled his eyes
In mock irritation.
"You know what Chloe, I'm tired of your bullshit. All you do is bring me down. I think I deserve a little respect."
It was her turn to roll her eyes;
"Well you're not giving me much to respect, Nick."
His name tasted like honey on her
Lips.
She tried to contain her smile
As his mouth opened in
Mock horror
And he pretended to wipe a tear;
"Ouch Chloe; that pierced my heart."
She bit her lip,
Letting the smile slip
From her control.
She stood on her tip toes
And pressed her lips to his neck;
The highest she could reach.
As she pulled away, She felt a slight
Shiver run through him
And she tried to contain her smile
Yet again.
"I'm so terribly sorry Nick. Please forgive me."
Red
Is what his face turned into;
Shed never seen it like that before,
And she very much enjoyed it.
"Well-- I guess I can try. Maybe for..."
A sly grin plastered onto his face.
Her stomach jumped--
She knew where he was going with this.
"For what??"
The grin hadn't disappeared;
"A real kiss."
A snort escaped her lips;
"In your wildest dreams."
In mine too.
They had arrived at the
Library.
