Running into Love

Chapter 2

My body fell forward and I felt myself land on something soft. I looked up and my eyes met a set of dark brown eyes.

“Oh my god I am so sorry, did I hurt you, are you alright?”

I suddenly started apologizing; realizing the thing I had walked into was a guy.

A smirk started to cross the guys face as he looked at me and then towards my body, which was right on top of his. 

“Shit, I am so sorry” I pushed off the guy and got to my feet, in the process dropping my ipod.

“ Grrr seriously” I was about to pick it up when I saw the guy reach down and grab it.

“Thanks” I said as he passed it to me.

His eyes once again meeting mine, a glint of something I could quite tell what, crossing over them.

“That’s alright, sorry I wasn’t looking where I was running I was concentrating on the music you know?”

He said with an apologetic look suddenly crossing his face.

I took in his features as he bent down to tie his shoelace. He had brown messy hair. He was built and chiseled but not so much that he looked like a mussel man. He was wearing a plain grey t-shirt that hugged his body’s features and black running shorts. His ear phones where now hanging around his neck and his music was pulsating through them.

His body suddenly stretched upwards, breaking me out of my trance.

“Sorry again, enjoy your walk”

He said as he went to continue on before he took another look at me and held my stare.

Did I have something on my face? Oh my god, I suddenly realized what he was looking at… me. I didn’t have any makeup on, I hadn’t had a shower, I had on the most unflattering exercise clothes on and to top it all off I had shoved my unruly curly hair under a company hat.

I quickly pull down my cap to cover more of my face, breaking his stare on me.

“Yeaah yoou ttoo” I quickly stammered as I walked around him and back on to the path.

I quickened my pace to get, as far away from this guy as possible, I didn’t need anyone, especially not a cute guy, seeing me looking like this. Wow, he really was cute but. I looked behind me hoping to get one last look, to see the guy had already started back on his run and was pumping his arms along to the music. 

The rest of my walk was pretty standard, my legs pulling me along as my music kept my mind free. I started to walk back towards my house, taking the long way round through the back roads. His house is just on the next street, I thought, don’t go there, you don’t need to run into him now. I quickly took the next street along making sure not to go past his house.

Dam why did I have to think about him again, all he did was cause me pain. The ‘him’ I was thinking about was my ex guy friend, Cohen. We didn’t really end our friendship on a good note and now every time I saw or even thought about him I felt this pressure on my chest that made me feel like it was going to explode. Dam him for living only a few streets down from me.

Come on good thoughts, don’t let him make you feel like this again, its been like 4 years. Ok, ok think about that cute guy you walked in to, literally. The image of deep brown eyes appeared in my mind. Here’s hoping I see him again, I wouldn’t mind that at all. I smile to myself and open the door to my house.

Ok so that’s chapter 2. What do you all think? Please let me know and give me any pointers. Thanks Munchkins  Xx
