Leopard Princess

Hide Your Love Away Princess

POV: Chrissy

I am not afraid to say that I am waiting. Sometimes this is hard though. I dream of the one day when my "Prince" will find me and rescue me.

Yes I know this is a fairytale, but am I allowed to dream? Life is difficult already and hard enough. But when I dream, I am dancing and my prince is singing to me. I don't know what he is singing and I don't recognize the voice because it is many years down the road this sounds like. I just wish I knew!

I listen to Hide Your Love Away to let God tell me that it's ok to say that I am waiting. I even listen to the behind the song and I love the words they say.

Chad:
"This is a message that in our culture isn't said a lot but it's important. To say that we are waiting."

Alan:
I waited and I'm glad that I did. She was worth waiting for. And so are you."

Joey:
"It's hard to believe to think that my wife... Your wife or husband is out there and my heart belongs to them already"

Caleb:
"Pray for them now. Become the person now that they deserve."

"A Godly man to Pursue the heart of a woman is found in scriptures. How our Heavenly Father Perseus our hearts. Both passionately but with patience. That's how you deserved to be treated. That's how you deserve to be pursued."

These words speak to me every time and I know that they are always true. In my heart I want to know a special guy that will love me for who I am and I will do the same. I want a funny, Christian (and if possible musical loving/ and/ or plays music) guy. Only God knows who's out there for me. I might not know his name, but I'm looking with wide eyes until I find him in the right time and place.

I need a distraction from this thought, it is comforting to me I am in God's hands, but it still drives me Outta my mind. I turn to play my own music instead.

I sit on the couch in my living room and try to practice my music. I am trying to let my mind escape from the thoughts and let myself be in the music..... At least as best as I can. I only started and I'm not very good (yet).

"Uuugggghhh come on again?!?" I say as I dropped my pick in my instrument.... Again! I become

I try shaking and shaking, but NOTHING is coming out. I set it by my side a little hard and admit, "fine you win this time but I will get you next time." I lose too many of these little picks and it drives me crazy! Then I realize I was talking to an instrument.

I was attempting to play one of my favorite songs called Plans. I LOVE this song because ever since it came out, the verse it's based on has been showing up EVERYWHERE! Seriously, just at church the sermon was about patience and how God has His timing for everything and I look over to where this lady was sitting in front of me. On there was that verse. I love it how I have seen it so much that I have memorized it. It's like God wants me to know this verse. I see it everywhere.

I give up after losing this battle. and kick on my favorite running shoes that match my running outfit (only somewhat) and go for a run. I need the exercise if I'm ever going to be as fit as I want to be. I kick my butt out the door and go for a run. I plug my earbuds in and hit play. "That's What I'm Looking For" comes on and I love it because it is a high energy song that I love. I remind myself that if I be who I am then God will lead me to the right guy for me.

I run and stop as I pass a tree. The tree is next to the church that I grew up in and I love the the pretty white flowers at its branches and I adore the peachy pink colored roses planted at its roots. I stop to admire the tree and I accidentally trip over my two own feet, but I am caught before I hit the ground.

I look up and I see who caught me. I look at him and notice who it is.

"J...J....J..." I stammer.

"Hey Chrissy. What's tripping?" He asks me.

"Well I guess I am," I smile at his laugh. It was contagious and I start laughing too. His smile and laugh are just like... Wow. And those eyes. Gosh, I've always fell for guy's eyes and his are just.. Wow.

Gahhh why... I've always had a crush on him, but he's never noticed me before. I am always the girl in the hallway that nobody notices. Nobody wants to hang with the "fangirl" that dreams in the hallway. Dancing when nobody is looking. Mouthing (Cuz I can't sing in school) the words to my favorite songs. Wearing my favorite T-shirt that I got on Christmas that I love to wear. People look at me weird because they haven't heard of my favorite band. Ok well they've "heard" of their mashups, but they haven't ever heard the "real" them. I wish that one day I can find a guy like them. I know I know... I'm outta my mind for thinking I can find a guy like "that"... They are rare. At least I think so. Until now maybe... No he's just "another guy" I know it... Or is he? I stare into those blue eyes and see a different side that I haven't seen before. I thought he was some stuck up guy... Is he?

"So are you going somewhere?" He asks me.

"Uh...Well... Actually..." I start to say as my phone beeps and I get a text from my mom telling me to come back for lunch, "my mom just texted me I have to go."

"Okie doakie! I guess I will see you around." He responds with that smile on his face.

I turn around to go back as I hit shuffle on my phone and he calls out to me, "Hey!" I hit pause before I could even hear what song was.

"Yes?" I ask questionably (a little nervous.)

"I forgot to ask... Is that leopard on your shoes?"

We both turn around and head out separate ways and I can't help stop smiling after he said it. I hit play again a song came on....
