"I know she's out there and when I find her she's never fuckin leaving" Moved to a new country New people New environment New food Actually all this didn't feel new to Raine....because in the next four months max..they would be moving. Though she was 20 and in uni...she couldn't get her own place. Why? What didn't she know? Maybe a stranger bumping into you and then completely ignoring your existence or who also not so elegantly threw you out of the window... the answer? But later on finding out the eyes you found so unique were never really.....Yours?? And what is it with this "De knight Gang"?? ------------------------------------------- "What's your favorite food,you know mine but yours I don't?"I asked looking his way across the table quietly stirring the straw in my drink. "you know"he replied staring down at his coffee before his eyes slowly met mine. "No I don't"I replied staring intently at him,he always said my eyes expressed everything I wanted to say,he better be reading them right now. His brow shot up with a slight smirk growing on his face as his intense brown eyes stared intensely into mine. Then it took me back to this morning were he whispered something that had me both closing his mouth and clenching my legs. It then dawned on me rapidly causing a flow of blood downward to which I responded by closing my legs..... But his leg was in-between. My eyes shot up to him, of course he was looking outside the window stirring his coffee like his legs weren't in-between my....and I definitely saw that little smile playing on his lips.
