Perfume

Imagine: (Carl's POV)

There she is. The most beautiful girl I've ever had the chance to lay my eyes on. We were sitting in our class in Alexandria even though there's no point in learning. I'm totally going need to know that Density equals mass divided by volume in a zombie apocalypse. 

Anyway, (Y/N) was her name. That glorious name that rolled off my tongue like a poem. I met her when we got to Alexandria. She was the girl that handed us our clothing and supplies. She didn't really talk much and she didn't seem like she cared about anyone or anything. She is very... Mysterious.

I looked down at my science book. The pages were covered in equations and periodic elements. I rolled my eyes and glanced at the clock. We had ten more minutes and then I can leave. That is the one thing that was greatest about the apocalypse. No school. Now that I have to go again, I hate it just as much as I did before.

I tapped my pen through the last ten minutes. I was probably annoying the crap out of everyone but I don't care. 5 minutes left. I sighed in despair. I looked around the classroom. Enid wasn't paying any attention. Ron was staring at Enid. Sam was being an idiot, playing with Legos. I rolled my eyes. I gazed over at (Y/N). She now had company next to her. It was Jake.

Jake always said he was "in love" with (Y/N). He didn't hide his feelings for her. I wish I could be like that. The funny thing was that (Y/N) absolutely hated Jake. She tried to avoid him with all costs.

I tried eaves dropping on their conversation. I couldn't hear it fully though. "Why don't you tell him?" I heard Jake ask. "Stop talking to me" (y/n) said, slamming her notebook shut. "Whatever" Jake finished.

I pondered on their conversation for the remainder of the class. Finally, the teacher, whose name I never bothered to learn, announced that class was over. I usually would have bolted out of class but today I stayed back. (Y/N) walked past me on her way out. As she walked past me, her perfume wafted into my nose. I sighed at the delicious scent that was 'strawberries and cream'. She always smelled so good. I saw that (Y/N) had left but she left her notebook behind.

I went over to her desk and picked it up. I knew I shouldn't have opened it but I had to know what was in there. What did She tell Jake? I was dying to know.

I opened the notebook to see some class notes. I turned a few pages and saw something I'd never expect to see in her notebook.

(Y/N) had apparently written my name all over her notebook pages. There was a page full of hearts with my name inside. I smiled at the little love letters she wrote to me but never gave me. I began to read one.

'Dear Carl,

I love you. I love the way your eyes sparkle like the oceans I used to swim in. I love the way that your smile makes my day a million times better. I love the way that sometimes I'll look over at you and you're already looking at me. I love the way your cologne smells when you walk by me. It smells like the forest I love the way a simple wave of the hand from you, creates a big grin on my face. I love you.
Love,
(Y/N)'

I had a goofy grin displayed on my face when I heard someone enter the room. I looked up to see (Y/N) standing in the door way. "NO NO. Carl, put that down" she demanded, running towards me and ripping the book from my hands.

(Y/N) looked devastated. She had begun to cry. The scent of her perfume once again filled my nostrils. I was drawn to it. I began to try and calm her down. The only way I knew how was something we've obviously wanted for a while.

I placed my chapped lips on to her soft plump and pink ones. She became tense at first but melted into the kiss. I felt her smile and then the feeling on her hands on my shoulders. I moved my hands to her waist. She slowly pulled away from the kiss but I went towards her lips more as she left my lips.

She giggled slightly and moved fully away. "You like me too?" She asked quietly. "I have ever since I first smelled your perfume" I grinned. She laughed and her nose crinkled while she did. "You're too cute" I said, tapping her nose. "So are you" (Y/N) stated, standing on her tippy toes to press a kiss to my lips. "Let's go get dinner" I said, lacing her fingers with mine. "C'mon lover boy" she smiled.
