Forbidden Love

Baby Blues

Damen 

At least 5 minutes have passed by and we're just standing here staring at each other. What is going through her head? What is going through my head? She's everything I can see right now and the rest of the world has faded. This is scaring me and I need to stop it now. So I start clearing my throat and try to act like myself again. 

" Don't sweat, it's okay. I'm not hurt," I say while silently laughing to myself. Baby blues wouldn't stop talking just a few minutes ago and all it took for her to shut up was one look at me. I should've looked at her a long time ago then! She's funny, blaming her shoes for her clumsiness. 

" By the way, just to make it fair I won't blame you. I'll blame the sandals, but only this one time. You can't put all the blame on the sandals every time." Oh yeah, I'm back, baby. 

She's standing there quietly for a few seconds. Did she take my joking around seriously? Did I say something wrong? What is she thinking? Wait again, why am I thinking these kinds of things? I never care what a girl thinks about me. Why now? 

She suddenly says, " Yeah, sure. I gotta go. Bye!" 

Then she just takes off running. Man, is she immune to my charm or something? This never happens to me. I have to know this girl's name. 

So I scream after her, " Hey! I didn't catch your name!" 

She stops, turns around, faces me and says, " Yeah, you didn't, because I never even said it! But if you have to know, my name is Ever, Ever Nightingale. What about yours stranger?" 

I'm guessing other guys have told her this before by the way she responded to my lame pick-up line. Ever? I've never heard a name like that before, but then again, I've never met a girl like her before. It's like she brushes off everything I say to her like it's nothing new or she doesn't care. Does she have a boyfriend or something already? 

It's about time I give her something to think about now, so I say, "Ever, huh? Nice. I'm Damen Evans." I bet you she's wondering what that 'huh' at the end meant now. Well, at least I hope she is. 

She says, " I would ask you what you meant by that 'huh', but I gotta go. So, I - I guess I'll see you around, Damen. Bye!" 

Oh, I've got her wrapped around my finger. I heard her stutter. I am so good with the ladies, but maybe not so good, because she just ended up running off again. I'll find out what's up with her later. Besides, when she was right here in front of me, I felt a different sort of vibration coming off of her that I've never felt from anyone before. Since I'm immortal, I'm able to read people's auras and I can tell who it is that's surrounding me by just my senses. So, now I know how her presence feels. 

I can also read people's thoughts, which means that I could've easily slipped into Mysterious Ever's head, but I decided to give her her privacy. It's not usual that I do that, but she's different and I want things to be different with her. When I finish getting the things that I need from the store, I'll drop into her head just to see where she's at and just kind of coincidentally appear at the same place she's at. I just have to get to know this girl more. I start jogging to the store now, because I finally have something to look forward to.
