        Today was a slow day, it seemed that everything moved as if there was all the time in the world. Frankly I didn't mind because on days like this everything seems simpler. Classes ended early today so I'd decided to go down to 'Sweet Nothings'; a small bookstore nestled between two buildings in the city, As I walked inside my nose was filled with the sweet smell of vanilla and old books. It always smelled the same and I wasn't complaining. I grabbed a book from the counter and sat in the back corner to read. I put on my headphones, turned on my music and began reading.

        I woke up to someone kicking the bottom of my foot. "Yes?" I looked up at the person, "Is there something you need?" He nodded, "Um, the store is about to close and its stormy outside, Do you need a ride home?" I shook my head as I studied his face. His eyes were a bright blue that doesn't really make a big deal of itself, his hair was a dark blonde and looked incredibly soft, he was just absolutely gorgeous. "Are you sure you don't need a ride?" I thought about it for a while then I finally answered, "Yes, actually I'll take you up on that," I stood up and offered my hand, "But first, what's your name?" He looked at my hand then looked at me, " Luke," he said as he took my hand in his gently, " I'm Luke," a smile crept up on his lips, causing his eyes to sparkle. I shook his hand and smiled back, " Brinn, I'm Brinn."

        She was beyond beautiful. The way her dark brown hair flowed pst her shoulders, those full lips. I wondered what color her eyes were. I couldn't tell because she was asleep with her headphones in and a book in her hand. Maybe I should wake her considering the store was about to close and since it was stormy she might possibly need a ride home. I kicked the bottom of her foot hoping that would wake her. Her eyes opened revealing some beautiful, like herself, light brown eyes. ''Yes?" she questions looking up at me. "Is there something you need?" I nod my head, because apparently I forgot how to talk. "Um, the store is about to close and its stormy outside. Do you need a ride home?" I ask hoping she did not notice the nervousness in my voice. She shook her head, making me feel disappointed that I wouldn't be able to see and talk to her more. It was silent until I spoke up, "Are you sure you don't need a ride?" It seemed as if she was rethinking my offer. "Yes, actually I'll take you up on that. "She stood up and offered me her hand. "But first, what's your name?" I looked at her hand then up at her."I'm Luke." A smile crept on to my face. She shook my hand and smiled. "Brinn, I'm Brinn." We got into my car and she instantly reached toward the radio. She went through the stations until she gasped and started singing. It became hard for me to concentrate while hearing her beautiful voice sing. She gave me the directions to her house and in no time, sadly, we were at her house. "Thank you Luke. I appreciate the ride." she said. She started stepping out the car, its now or never I thought, "Um would you possibly want to, maybe, hang out sometime?" I studied her face as she thought about my offer, again. "Yeah, I'd like that." she said. "Does tomorrow at 7 sound good?" "Yeah, I'll see you then. Bye Luke." She waved and shut the car door. I watched her until she walked into her house and I drove off. As I drove home, all I could think about was Brinn. In just the little time I knew her, I felt something , not love, but definitely something.
