I sighed and leaned my head back, closing my eyes trying to clasp my sanity again. Then I felt a hand touch my shoulder. I squealed in shock and one of my ear buds flew out my ear.

My eyes widened once I saw who it was.

The air in my lungs was stolen away from me as I looked into the eyes of silver, Swirling stormy silvery eyes. His eyes locked with mine for a moment, the world seemed to stop. His face was expressionless but his eyes told another story, looking out in adoration. I broke our eye contact before clearing my throat in pure nervousness. I looked down trying my best to make no eye contact.

"Seprina?" He asked in such disappointment. I didn't look up, I just held my down.

"Seprina." Determination prominent in his tone. I looked up this time and a faint grin appeared on his face.

"It's nice to see you again." My voice shaky.

"To you too. Do you mind?" He looked at the bench, waiting for an answer. I shook my head no and patted the bench space beside me. His eyes lit up like a puppy and jumped to the side of bench. It was odd to see such a large man in a suit act like a child. I smiled once he sat next to me.

The sound of dogs barking and people laughing around us. He finally broke the thick silence between us.

"I think you dropped this." He pulled out a little metal sharpener.

"Oh thank you, how did you know it was mine?" I smiled.

" I knew it was yours." He said casually. He knew it was mine? I was just about to ask how, until he cut me off.

"I mean, I knew it had to be yours. You were the only person drawing at the park." His voice shaky, as if he was nervous. I raised one eyebrow as I questioned his such quick save. It was like he knew what I thought.

"Well you guessed correctly. I was actually trying to find it a minute ago." I laughed off. I rubbed the back of my neck as I realized how jumpy I sounded. I could just feel my face practically turning into a cherry. My hand went out to him to give me the sharpener. He looked at my hand and looked back up to me confused.

I shook my hand trying to let him know what I wanted. He looked back at my hand and softly placed the sharpener in my hand. He didn't remove his hands... His palm just laid on mine. My face was on fire, my mind ran crazy. His gaze was locked on to our hands. He looked so curious.

"Well thank you." I pulled away my hand from his grasp. His head tilted up, his silvery eyes shadowed from the shade. I gave a slight smile and started to draw once again. I felt his eyes on me the whole time, but not in a creepy way. Just looking at what I was doing.

"You're very good." He complimented. I small blush came to my cheeks.

"Thank you. Takes a couple years to get like this." I smiled. I continued to draw the lake as he stared at me once again.

I heard a noise and saw that he was talking. Crap. I pulled out one of my earbuds and I tilted my head upwards, not able to comprehend what he just said before.

"Wait can you repeat that? I didn't here ya." I dropped my pencil against the paper.

"My name is Achilles. I just realized I have not yet told you." His face worn a warm smile. Achilles? Haven't heard that one. It fits him though. I smiled back and continued to draw.

"Achilles is a cool name. I never heard that one." His smile grew to a concern expression. "It's a good thing! I promise." I gulped. My eyes still locked on the paper. He seemed to get closer his eyes on the paper as well. I kept looking to my side to make sure he didn't go away. I wanted him to stay near.

Please don't go. I feel like I know so much about him but I just found out your name! For god sake, I don't need a man right now. But wowwy...

My head ran wild with crazy thoughts as he sat beside me, hovering over my shoulder. He was so oblivious of what were my thoughts were. If only he knew...

I kept glancing to his side wondering what he was thinking about. His heaven made face still above my shoulder. I pretend to not notice as he scooted closer to my side.

"So where are you from? I've never seen you around here." I asked. His eyes slowly looked up at mine, the melting silver swirled within them. His eyes creased and his mouth spoke but I heard no words. I completely blanked out. Confused of what he just said, I shook my head. His brow raised up as if he was concerned or questioning my life decisions. What did I just shake my head to?!
