Fleur (Completed)

6 - six

Guess what, my love, 

You looked wonderful today 

but don't you always? 

You strode in so confidently

 But only I could see that slight nervousness in you today, my love, 

Only I could see the fear and fiery beauty- the hidden part of you, 

 hidden behind the curtain of your cautious optimism. 

There you were,in all your glory.

 How could I assemble my thoughts together,

with youat such close proximity? 

You snapped your fingers in front of my face, 

awakening me from my reverie. 

well, a l m o s t. 

"Why am I the one who is always bringing you back to earth?" 

"It's always the same, hasn't it, right from the start? You rescuing me from my own thoughts?" I said, half teasingly, half-seriously. 

You smile down at me,that rare, enigmatic smile of yours. 

I felt something tug at my heart,I wish I could only tell you,my love. 

I really wish I could. 

"I want to tell you something."

 I grimaced; you almost sounded as though you could hear my thoughts. 

You glanced around nervously as you started speaking.

My heart thudded uncomfortably. 

'Don't go there, don't hope.'

 I think to myself.

 "I - I think I might- " 

The bell rang loud and clear, cutting you off. 

You sighed, that impatient but cute little sigh of yours.

 My heart was still beating erratically, my love,when you held my hand and smiled down at me.

 "I guess I have to tell you later" 

"I guess so." 

My love,it didn't escape my noticethat you held my hand all the way to the class.

 And I was smiling like an idiot all along. 

'All along', I whisper to myself.
