Jai meets the lovely and mysterious Dahlia... Please Vote.Comment.Add

The first time Jai saw Dahlia she was strolling past his house, she had a beautiful smile on her face and her eyes danced in amusement like there was a secret joke and only she knew the answer. Her beautiful cream-colored dress floated along the breeze as she casually made her way down the sidewalk, her pace suggested that she had no where in particular to go and no worries to weigh her down.

Dahlia had always enjoyed life and the journey's it held, she wasn't interested in having a destination, she loved the people she met and the things she saw along the way. She had always cherished each moment knowing it could be her last.

Jai had been sitting on his front porch enjoying a cigarette while browsing through his Instagram and checking his texts when her musical laughter caught his attention, he lifted his head to see where the angelic sound came from and there he saw her, smiling at him as she observed him. He immediately thought she was fan.

"Hello," she greeted warmly.

Even her voice was beautiful, soft and melodic; it's musical notes tickling his ear and making a home there, its sound causing a smile form on his face. He stood up and made his way over to her.

"G'day," he said

She immediately giggled and extended her hand to meet with his, her fingers fit perfectly in his hand, but he felt an instant chill as soon as her fingers touched his.

"You're hands are freezing," he says.

"Oh, you know what they say," she smirks playfully

"What?" He frowns in confusion.

"Cold hands, warm heart," she informs him happily.

He chuckles at the cute expression on her face, his eyes lazily made their way across her face, mapping each dimple and freckle, her beautiful full lips turn up into a grin, and again he couldn't help mimicking her expression. It was as if she were made of pure light and happiness.

"What's your name?" she asked and he noticed her cheeks had bloomed with colors.
"Oh, how rude of me, I'm Jai," he introduces himself with a grin.
"Dahlia," she supplies her name with a smirk.

At that moment Jai made it his mission to find out everything about her, where she came from, what she liked and didn't, what school she went to, her hopes and ambitions.

He and Dahlia were enjoying a nice drink on his patio when he decided it was the time to ask her out.

He cleared his throat and scratched the back of his head anxiously...

"Come on, Jai," he encouraged himself.

His hands became sweaty and he nervously wiped them on the top of his jeans and took a deep breath.

"Dahlia, I was wondering if you'd like to go out on a date with me?" he asks feeling a weight lift off his chest only to be replaced with a gut wrenching nervous feeling that nearly made him sick.

And there was that beautiful giggle of hers. "Of course, what took you so long?" She asked in exaggerated weariness.

Her face grew serious for a moment before she asked him. "Can we go out during the day?" she requests while looking at her hands.

"Yeah sure, we can go whenever, wherever you like," he informed her and that earned another grin.

They had chosen to meet up the next day at a local cafe a few miles from the beach, when Dahlia arrived she saw that Jai had found a table outside, it was tucked away in a corner that had a curtain of flowers shielding it from prying eyes. She smiled as she took in his appearance, he wore a light blue button up with the sleeves rolled up, dark jeans and brown boots, his hair slicked back.
