I followed the angelic being as she ran, my hand in hers, down endless streets and alleys- her gorgeous smile laced upon her lips.

I honestly didn't know where we were going but even when we headed out of town, I felt safe as long as she was with me.

We came to what looked like a forest when she stopped; turning to look up at me, her beautiful eyes reflecting the light at all angles and a few gorgeous, dark brown, curly locks of her hair straying across her face as she smiled.
Gently, I lifted my hand to move away her hair.
Fuck. Being this close to her, and that smile.... I could have kissed her right then.
She smiled her gorgeous smile back up at me and my stomach did backflips.

"By the way I forgot to tell you, my names May", she said.
"Like the tree?"
"Yeah, I guess", she giggled.
"That's my favourite kind of tree," I replied, smiling as I gently held her hand again before adding, "my names Ashley by the way".
"Cute name"

Butterflies filled my stomach and a blush coloured my cheeks.
She smiled, squeezing my hand and carrying on our journey into the woods, "adventure waits for no one".
