Sun Pendant

Note: I know it's been a while since I've updated. I've been so busy with school.. but summer is coming and I'll be updating more often. Hope you enjoy :] sorry for any errors.

I was running late to work,but with Emma’s crazy driving I was confident I would make it on time . We received a few angry hand signals on the way, I responded by holding a sign that said “sorry” in bold letters with a pouty face. “I still can’t believe you actually made that sign” Emma said with a giggle. “With your driving, I need it! Can’t have all of San Francisco angry with us.” was my reply. As I predicted, I made it to work on time, “Thank Goodness I made it alive!” I screeched as I dramatically exited the vehicle. “Hey! You mean thank goodness you made it on time thanks to my wonderful, amazing driving skills.” Em said flipping her hair with her famous million dollar smile. “Right, right yes that is exactly what I meant forgive me Miss Queen of the Streets” I replied sarcastically then slammed the door of her shiny, white Range Rover and rushed through the doors of the Starbucks I work at. I quickly situated myself and got to work, it was very busy.

          My day at work was uneventful, I was thankful when we finally closed. Vincent Wolfe was the guy I shared most of my shifts with, he became a close friend rather than just a coworker, but only recently had he started showing signs of wanting to be really close friends. He was cute, super cute. He had perfect naturally tanned skin, beautiful eyes that didn’t know whether they wanted to be blue, or grey, or green, but I’m not complaining they can be any color they wish. His mystery colored eyes are decorated by a set of thick eyelashes and his smile lights up the room. He has a strong muscular built, but not bulky, more like in a slim, sexy muscular kind of way. I blushed when I realized I was ogling him and looked away quickly. He must have sensed my unease because he turned to look at me “What’s the matter Sunshine? You’re as red as a rose.” He said with his beautiful smile. Oh gawsh, embarrassing! “I.. er… its hot in here.” I managed to say. He looked me straight in the eyes, a hint of humor in his eyes, they were a beautiful sky blue today “Really? Are you sure it’s not because you were checking me out?” My jaw dropped and I’m more than positive that I turned into a darker shade of red “I..er..No! Shut up” I said smacking his shoulder. He burst out in laugthter “Relax An! You can ogle me whenever you want, as much as you want” he said with a wink. “Stop it Vince! I was not ogling you! I don’t ogle! Only perverts ogle!” I shouted at him smaking his shoulder again. I was beyond embarrassed. “C’mon Anabella admit it, you have a thing for me” he said gently as he walked closer to me, only about 5 inches away. He towered over me, looking into my eyes with a gentle expression on his face. Did his eyes become a deeper shade of blue? I was stuck. I had never been approached this way before… I’ve never even been kissed! Is he going to kiss me? Did I like him? Did I want him to kiss me? This is too confusing! “Breathe Anabella” he spoke softly as he brushed my cheek gently with the back of his hand and I sucked in a breathe. Okay, he makes me nervous, so does that mean I like him? Maybe I like him a little. “I..er.. okay. I just …what are you doing Vince? I don’t know what’s going on right now and you’re making me a nervous wreck…” He chuckled, placing a piece of loose hair behind my ear “You’re innocence is so charming… An, we’ve known each other for about a year now, but I still remember the first time I laid eyes on you. Those beautiful golden eyes of yours have haunted me ever since…You have become the sunshine of my day and I want you to have this Anabella.” He pulled out a small black velvet box from his back pocket and opened it. A gasp escaped from my lips. “Vince, I don’t know what to say..it’s beautiful…but I can’t accept it..it’s too much!” Inside the box was a small sun shaped pendant, about the size of a dime. In the center lay a champagne colored diamond with rose gold colored sun rays. It really was too much. “Nonesense An, you deserve it. It is your birthday after all…and it will really break my heart if you don’t accept it…” He held a serious expression, his lips curving slighting into a frown. I made the mistake of looking into his eyes directly and seeing a hint of sadness within them. What? They’re blue grey now? I couldn’t help it, guilt built up inside me, pulling at my heart strings. I let out a deep sigh and took the box from him. “Thank you very much for this beautiful gift Vince, I love it.” I told him with a big smile and gave him a big bear hug. Why do I have to be such a pushover? After a moment, he pulled away gently, his strong hands still on my waist and looked down at me with those deep blue eyes again, “You really are extraordinary Anabella” then he bent his face towards mine. My heart beat accelerated, did I really want this? I’m not ready! Luckily, we were interrupted by obnoxious banging at the door, “Oh hell no! Stop right there sugar lips!” I have never been so happy in my life to hear Emma’s obnoxious shouting. “Uh uh! Not today Mr. Hot Tamales! Get your hands off her waist before I unleash my ghetto on you!” Clar shouted with a spanish accent. Vince immediately stepped away with his hands up in a mock surprised expression, “Forgive me ladies, but this was all Anabella’s idea, she’s a temptress!” He winked at me, a gorgeous smile lighting up his face. I burst out in laughter, relieved for the lightened mood, but not looking forward to the interrogation my friends were going to give me on the drive back home. Dear stars, help me.
