It Started With a Smile

Hey Guys!

I started this in school the other day and didn't know whether to finish it or not so I posted what I had written out on Facebook and a lot of people wanted me to finish it so here it is! 

~~~

It started with a smile. I had been standing in line, staring up at the board listing the 'Day's Specials' as I waited for my turn. He had come up and stood beside, mumbling softly as he looked at all the delicious cakes sitting behind the glass case. He'd turned around and our eyes met for that one second, his sparkling blue with my boring brown and I had smiled politely. And he had smiled back.

It should have ended there, just like it had with the countless other strangers I had ever passed. Yet, for some reason, it didn't. We'd met again the next day and the next and so on, simply acknowledging each other with seemingly polite smiles. We didn't talk, simply smiling at each other as we gave our orders and then parting ways.

But for some reason, I found myself thinking about him more and more with each passing day. I wondered it would be like to talk to him, to hold his lanky frame, to weave my hands through his hair. I wondered what his voice would sound like and what it would be like to hold his hand in mine.

I didn't even know what he sounded like, let alone who he was. And yet, just that smile of him had me infatuated. I waited for the right time, I planned a thousand different ways to talk to him. But never going through with them, scrapping them out of fear that he wouldn't want to associate with someone like me. even though I was terrified, I wanted so bad to make a move. Luckily, it turns out I didn't have to.

That day, I'd been sitting in my usual booth, hidden away in a corner. Fall Out Boy blasting through my headphones, a giant of a book lay open in front of me. My eyes skimmed the words but I wasn't really reading it. I was in a bad mood you see, because he hadn't shown up today. Well, also because I had a ton of reading to do for Uni, but mostly because I didn't get to see him. Somewhere along the line, seeing his smile had become the outline of my day.

A hand waved in front of my eyes, breaking me out of my reverie. My head shot up only to be met with the very two sparkling pools of blue that I had just been daydreaming about. He was wearing a blue shirt that brought out his eyes and a pair of black skinny jeans and his shiny black hair feel over his eyes in his normal fringe. Perfect as usual.

His lips moved but no sound came out. I frowned confusedly for a second before remembering that I still had my headphones on. I ripped them out and stuttered an apology, feeling my cheeks flush a bright red. But you weren't offended, you simply laughed and can I just say, it was the sweetest sound I had ever heard. 

We'd talked for hours that day, about little nothings and it was still the best time I'd had in years and when you told me we should 'Do this again', I swear my heart skipped a beat. I was so happy! Even more so when we'd hung out the next day and the next and so on.

Remember that day a few months after we met, when I told you about the people harassing me back at Uni? You had comforted me and then came up with the most brilliant idea. You'd  asked me to move in with you and I am so glad I took you up on that offer.

And do you remember that day two years ago, when I'd finally crumbled under the pressure. I'd broken down completely and you'd let me cry on your shoulder, while you murmured words of encouragement in my ear. You'd cheered me up with your hot chocolate and cuddles and when I'd dropped out of university you were there, supporting me through it all.

Remeber the time we were watching Titanic and you started crying when Jack died and I'd wiped your tears away? I don't know what I'd been thinking, I don't know if I was even thinking at all, but I'd kissed you. I'd felt like such an idiot in that second when you'd frozen on the spot but then you'd started kissing back and it was magical. Though what made it better was what you'd said-

"You see, I really like you and since you kissed me, I'm hoping you like me back. So, will you go on a date with me?"

Of course I had said yes, how could I not? It was all I had been dreaming about for an year!

 Though among all those days and moments we have shared and the ones that are yet to come, one stands out. I remember last night, when you had tried and failed miserably to cook dinner and we had sat on the couch snuggled against each other, nibbling on slices of pizza while the Avengers played on the screen. It was already such a perfect moment to me, yet you managed to make it better. You pulled out a ring and got down on one knee.

Right now, as I gaze up at your sleeping form beside me, holding me close to you I feel complete. And I know that years fro now when we're both old and wrinkly and have half a dozen grand-kids, I would still be completely and utterly in love with you. The best part about it though, is that I know you would be too. 

Falling for you is the best thing that ever happened to me. And it all started with a smile.

Let me know how that was, I really need the input cause I suck at writing fluff. 

Thanks for reading!
