He turned to see a figure walking opposite his direction, nearing him. As he stared at her, he couldn't help being awed by her beauty. She was a vision of icy elegance, her porcelain skin and black hair a striking contrast. Her piercing emerald eyes seemed to gleam with a frosty intensity, as if daring anyone to get close. Her slender figure was clad in black, accentuating her sharp curves and commanding presence. She didn't seem to notice him admiring her beauty at first. Her gaze jerked to his and she held it. He had been caught unexpectedly so he had no idea what to do, if to look away or not which he did not. She stopped in her steps. Her full lips curled into a sly smile, as she started towards him. He was confuzzled at why she was heading towards him, so he decided to just continue walking and ignore her. She reached for his hand before he could walk further from her. "Hey handsome, I don't think it'd be nice to walk away like that." Her voice possessed seductiveness. He stared down at her hands then back to her face. "Let go." She complied, her lips pulled to a smirk as she stood too close in front of him.
