My gaze softened as I laid my eyes upon his auburn hair and dark brown eyes, glittering in the bright shine of the afternoon sun.
I couldn't mistake his silhouette for anybody else, the way he held himself, poised and elegant. He turned his head around and as we locked eyes, my stomach flipped and I was filled with overflowing warmth. He smiled, the same grin that played over and over in my wildest dreams, and he jogged towards where I was standing, immobile.
I felt as though time had stopped, and he was running towards me in slow motion, although it must have only taken him a dozen seconds. My heart fluttered wildly and when he got closer, I couldn't hold myself back anymore. I leaped into his arms, my hands around his neck and knees around his strong torso. He took a step back in surprise and because of the force from which I had thrown myself at him.
However, he let out a light chuckle and held me tight. I could feel his heart hammering against my rib cage, and I knew he felt mine too.
As I lost myself in his soft gaze, I unconsciously brought my face closer to his. We were now inches apart, separated by nothing but air. I felt my pulse dangerously quicken and felt my hands curl to hold onto his collar. We were now only a hairsbreadth apart, his warm breath on my lips. But, before we could press our mouths together, an alarm bell rang.
