Stranger

"Only look at me." The beautiful lady slowly spoke, trapping my eyes with her soft cat-like ones.

An angel.

I was breathless, in awe. I was never really someone who was great with poetry, but at the moment, I think I can make thousands just by looking at her in the eyes. I was never the one to see those little intricate details of something, of someone, in a personal level. But as I was held by her small hands, I saw everything. Every little detail, every little freckle.

I feel lightheaded, I feel the sudden rush of nerves, of raging emotions on the pit of my stomach, a sudden weakness, yet a new found strength.

Enchanting.

Bewitching.

I can name every pleasing words there is out there to describe her, her beauty that seems to draw me in. But even her beauty can't compare to what I feel whenever I look into those mesmerizing brown enigmatic eyes.

It was weird. I never felt like this towards any person that I've met, let alone to a complete stranger.

"You didn't hear anything, did you?" She asked me one more time, and I know I looked stupid, foolishly gawking at her. But I just can't help it, it seems like my body has a complete mind of it's own, not that it matters, when even my brain seemed to be deeply getting along to what my body wants.

"No..." I whispered, still trying to process what happened in that little span of moment that felt like hours to me.

At this moment, if she wanted me to lie to her, I would. But if I'm being honest, then what I said was true regardless. I never heard or never knew what she meant, for my whole attention was focused on how she held my head, on how she pulled me close, and on how she told me to only look at her.

Only look at me.

It was ringing in my head, over and over... and I hope I could do that for a long, long, time.

Look at her.

"It's crazy, isn't it?" I softly told her, her head tilting to the side like the adorable human being that she is.

"Feeling all sorts of emotions just by seeing a small fraction of someone." My bella looked at me weirdly, and I can't help but smile.

"I mean, let's go eat." I chuckled upon hearing her say a little 'oh'

"Do you want to eat at the terrace?" She asked and I shook my head, "I need to get you out of here, otherwise it'll be dark soon and you'll have to come rest again." Bella rolled her eyes, stomping her little foot in annoyance that made her heels clink loudly.

"Hey, what about the linking your arms on mine?" I asked nonchalantly, suddenly missing her little arms wrapped on mine.

"Didn't know you were the clingy one." She eyed me and scoffed, continuing to walk a little faster than me.

Always the attitude, this one.

"Never knew I was, honestly." I admitted, biting back a small smile.

I wasn't the hugger or the kisser type. No, it was my Thai best friend Lisa's forte. But I don't despise physical affection though, it's just that I don't do that very often. I guess it'll be different with this one though, I think I'm developing a little crush.

A little crush on this Korean bella.

"Oh my God, the lasagna here is sooo good." Bella's eyes lit up, munching the food messily.
