"Wait what's your name?" I shouted out of desperation as I saw her Retreating form. I don't even know why I felt this inkling feeling of wanting to get to know her. There's something in her that makes me wanna dig more and see more of her. I just couldn't grasp the reason why, and here I am, moving the first step of knowing her name.
As soon as my voice trailed up and out in thin air, She halted her steps. She isn't far, but not near either. If I could run 5 steps I'll reach her, But that's another story and that's maybe for another time.
She took her time turning to face me, Gracefully spins on her heels, She throws me a lopsided grin shortly after our eyes met, and then her gaze falls into the sky.
I waited, Like a prey watching her.
"You can call me Star" The angel replied with a hint of playfulness meeting my gaze. I cocked my head to the side, waiting for her to continue. She glanced at the sky again, Her beautiful face illuminated by the said light making me hesitate for a second if I was seeing right or it is just the alcohol making a toll on me, for I am sure as hell it made my heart skip a beat.
Her eyes met mine, I held my breath. It almost looked magical, everything makes her perfect. Scratch that, She is indeed perfect.
"I'm always watching you" She smirk and then turn her back from me, Leaving me wondering how could someone be perfect and this time, I'm not thinking about Lawrence at all.
