Butterflies - H.S.

His voice was deep and assertive. He wore a khaki pants and a light blue sweater with a collared shirt underneath. Not the classic priest attire.
I glanced over at my father, who had a confused yet mad look across his face.
"Who is this?" He whispered to mom. "I don't know," she replied, shaking her head.
I watched his lips move as he tried to win over all the people in the room.
I was taken aback by how attractive he was. The way his light eyes contrasted against his dark hair and lips. He was extremely handsome.
"I will now began today's service-"
Our eyes met. It seemed like the whole world stopped in that one moment, where my blue eyes met his green ones.
He stopped, his eyes widened.
I did the same, but quickly looked down, hoping my father didn't see.
"I...um.... Will now begin the service." He continued, an obvious shakiness in his voice.
I felt my stomach turn as I replayed the moment in my head.
Ava turned around again, and shot me a confused look that matched everyone else in the room's expression.
"Who is he?" She mouthed.
I shrugged in reply.
He began the service and I didn't listen at all to what he was saying. I was captivated by the way his voice sounded, and how he moved his hands when he talked.
It wasn't until later that I realized his age. He was 32. I was 16.
Me and Ava met up with each other after he finished the service.
"Oh my god. Can we talk about how hot he is?!" Ava screeched, like a little girl.
"He is handsome. But he's older. And that's not right." I said.
"Bella, listen. Every girl should experience what's it like to be with an older man. And it's not like he uses a walker or anything."
We both giggled.
"But... What if he has a wife?" I asked.
Ava rolled her eyes.
"Do you see a ring on his finger?" She assured me. I laughed.
Suddenly, I felt someone's eyes on me. I turned around, and sure enough Mr. Styles was staring right at me.
When our eyes met, he didn't look away. Unsure of what to do, I smiled nervously at him.
When I look back at Ava, her eyes were wide.
"Holy shit!" She exclaimed. "He's totally into you!"
I laughed. Like a grown man would be into a 16 year old virgin girl.
