He started laughing.
She looked at him so confused, completely unsure of why he was laughing.
Truth being, he just found her rambling on about rambling on, adorable.
The way she talked with her hands, and her eyes.
The way she was so dramatic about nearly everything, he thought it was the cutest thing he had ever laid eyes on.
Well, other than her. She was pretty damn cute.
She suddenly began laughing right along with him.
"I was rambling, wasn't I?" she asked breathlessly, a few moments later.
He only nodded. "But you were only rambling in the best say, love."
She caught his gaze when he called her 'love' knowing full well that it, that they, would never last.
But for as long as it did, she would enjoy every minute of it.
"So will you go with me?" he inquired again.
She blushed, looking down at her feet. "I would love to go with you." she said, looking back up at him.
His heart fluttered when she agreed.
He was going to be the envy of every man and even woman that saw him and Ella together.
She was too beautiful, all the guys would wish that they were him. All the girls would wish that they were her, just for her beauty.
"I'm parked out front." he said as she followed behind him.
"Oh, special teacher parking?"
He chuckled. "I don't know about special, but teacher parking, yes."
She looked at him, a look of curiosity on her face.
"Are you saying that you don't consider yourself special?" she asked.
He smirked. "I'm just like all the other guys. There's nothing 'special' about me."
Her eyes grew wide, and her mouth fell agape, before she reached over, and slapped his arm.
"You're very wrong. You are a special person. And there is a lot different between you and every other guy. There is nobody like you, nobody. You're unique, and so you're lying to yourself if you say any differently."
He laughed, but kept it to himself. She was rambling again, but that was okay.
He quite enjoyed her company.
"Be careful here, love. It's pretty slick." he said, reaching out his hand to her.
She gladly accepted, walking carefully over the patch of ice.
Instead of being graceful, karma had a different idea, so she found out, when she lost her footing, and slipped.
"Fuck" he said when she fell, pulling him along with her.
As cliche as it was, and he knew how cliche it would be, he found himself on top of her, staring into her beautiful eyes.
His hands resting on either side of her head, whilst hers were on his chest.
They were both breathing heavily, the cool air allowing them to see their breath.
"Are you alright?" she asked him.
He nodded, looking from her eyes, to her lips, biting his own.
"You're okay, yes?" he asked her, but she shook her head, no.
"What's wrong?" he panicked, starting to get off of her.
She pulled on his coat collar, pulling his face down towards hers. "You want to kiss me, but you haven't."
He chuckled. "That's what's wrong?"
She nodded.
"Well, we can't have that, now can we?" he asked.
She smiled. "No, we surely can't."
He came closer to her, his lips grazing over hers.
"Mr. Malik" his name was called.
His eyes shot up immediately, looking to find that the principal was watching him and Ella.
