30 parts Ongoing EXTRACT:
She rises and hurries to the backyard door, turning towards me with an amused expression. "Catch me if you can." She challenges me, and I'm always willing to take one on.
"Oh it's on." This time I wasn't planning on letting her win.
She slid the door open and ran outside onto the green grass. Faith tried to careful to avoid slipping it due to the rain. I dashed there following her.
"What are you guys doing?! Are you crazy?!" Allegra yells at us from the deck by the door.
"You're so slow!" Faith looks back while running.
"Oh just you wait Faith-" I catch up just behind really closing to grabbing hold of her. The rain soaked her brown hair and drenched her clothes but she didn't seem to mind. The appearance of her smile was only enhanced by her wet face. I realize I'm supposed to catch her and grab her, but as soon as I do, we both find ourselves slipping onto the grass.
Swish. We rested on the lawn, catching our breath from the chase. Faith hovers over me and restrains me by pressing both of my wrists. In retaliation, I flip her over the same way and secure her.
"Good try." I sneer and laugh at her unsuccessful attempt.
I leaned over her frame, gazing straight into her deep brown eyes, and I had no intention of removing my gaze from them in the future. I seemed to have caught her off guard and she didn't know how to react. Time slowed down for a moment, it continued to downpour, there was still grass in her hair.
And out of nowhere, Faith kissed my cheek. There's no way that just happened.
************ end of extract.
I won't say I knew I wouldn't fall in love with him, I knew. The very first instant, from the first glance, from that sense of unfamiliar familiarity, I knew. And I think he did too.
I wouldn't say it was love at first sight, rather just a feeling like I had some ties to this person, who knows maybe in a past life.
Well anyway, I did, but little did I know that the first time it would ruin me. But the second time,
It healed me.
