Burning Desire

Chapter 2

The sky was beginning to turn a light orange with a hint of yellow. The colors of the sky were bringing me peace. I felt calm and relaxed.

The sun peeking through the buildings was beginning to blind me but I didn't mind. It reminded me that it was no longer nighttime.

After I had awoken from my dream I couldn't go back to sleep. I looked at my clock that was on my nightstand which read 6:30. I had been awake for 5 hours now.

As I continued to stare out my window I couldn't get those grey eyes out of my head. I was saw them for a few seconds before I woke up.

But those eyes, I couldn't stop picturing them in my head. I had never seen grey eyes before but they were so mesmerizing.

I'm pretty sure if I hadn't of woken up I could have just stood there staring at them. But a part of me doesn't want to see them again.

I got a bad feeling when I was around whomever that was.

I got up off of the bench seat that's attached to the window and decided I was going to go for a run. Might as well do something since I'm up this early.

After getting dressed and brushing my teeth I put on some workout clothes, throw my hair up, grab my phone along with a pair of headphones I head out the door.

I was running at a jogging pace.

I haven't ran in a while but these dreams make me feel like I need to get back into shape. I was currently listening to Closer by The Chainsmokers.

Sarah has been listening to this song almost everyday since she first heard. I do have to admit the song is rather catchy.

When the song was getting to the bridge I decided to pick up my pace a little bit. I was running to a park nearby our apartment that led to a wilderness trail.

Since it was almost 7 A.M. It was a little cool outside but it felt nice. And because it was a Saturday morning there was hardly anybody outside. I only saw a few people opening up coffee shops or other people going on a run.

Once I made it to the park I looked for the sign that told me where the trail was. After I found it, I headed down the trail.

My legs were starting to ache slightly as I continued to jog. I look at my phone and saw that it was 7:25 A.M. Wow, I have been running for almost 30 minutes.

I looked around, taking in the scenery, this trail was breathtaking. Since it was the middle of summer the trees were a bright green, flowers took over the ground, giving the woods a beautiful pop of color.

There were butterflies flying all around. I also saw a couple of wooden creatures. Then out of no where I feel a sharp pain in my leg. Great a leg cramp...

I stopped jogging so I can massage my leg and hopefully rid myself of this painful cramp. As I massage my leg I take out my headphones cause they kept dangling in front of my face.

While massaging me leg, I saw there was a dying flower next to me. Stopping my massage, I lightly touched the petals.

Surprised a flower died in the summer. Maybe it didn't get enough water or sunlight.

The petals were lightly soft but rough at the same time. I realized the flower was a daisy. Those are my favorite. I felt a sudden urge to want this flower to become alive again.

Hopefully the thunderstorm that's we're predicted to have in a couple days will help. Thankfully my cramp was gone so I got up to continue on my run.
