Special One.
I thought to spice stuff up this festive period, I would
do some special posts just for another treat, instead of my normal blogs.
A short story. The thought is original and it took
me ages to- no stop! I can't bear it anymore. The guilt is withering me. Okay! I used http://shortstoryideas.herb.me.uk/scenarios.htm
for an idea. But oh well I used my brain and genius cells to write it right?
RIGHT? No please tell me!
The idea I got was: A bus stop is the
location, love is the theme. A radio is an object that plays a part in the
story.
Here we go!
I yanked out my earphones. I was listening to Heart
fm on my phone's radio until Call Me Maybe came on. At first I thought I could
handle it but apparently I couldn't. I rubbed my ears that I suspected had
broken, and winced as I accidently
grazed the fresh cut near my ear lobe. See? That's what I get, thinking doing
art homework on my bed was smart. turned out I fell asleep and then woke up
with scissors under my head. I quickly glanced at my watch, and groaned as I
realised that I was 2 minutes late.
I sprinted to the bus stop as fast as I could, just
in time to see that my bus had already left. I hastily span around in order to
read the timings posted on the wall inside the shelter, just to slam into a
blur of white and red. I was caught off guard and had almost toppled over, if
it weren't for the tight grip on my elbow. I steadied myself and brushed my
jeans, in order to hide the blush
burning across my cheeks. Cautiously, I looked up to meet the most enchanting
green eyes I had ever seen. Surely they must've been contacts- no one's eyes
were so gorgeous. I was so captivated, that I hadn't realised I had been
staring until a cough interrupted my track of thoughts. Simultaneously, my eyes snapped to the
beautiful face in front of me. A strong jaw line, dusted with light stubble. A
slender nose that was slightly crooked to the left but still had a delicateness
to it, and oh those glorious plump lips. His hair was chocolately brown and
lusciously thick, peeping out from under his back-wards snap-back ,occasionally falling into his
eyes. He had a manly, but still boyish
charm to him and I instantly felt a pull of attraction towards him.
"Are you okay?" his velvety voice interceded
my thoughts as I was caught yet again drooling over him. It seemed my mind had
stopped functioning and I had to take a minute to shake it off until I could
finally talk.
"Er, yeah Fine." I inwardly cringed, as
my voice came out as a croak, and cleared my throat twice to get rid of it. How
attractive! He's probably going to run away now!
It was now I realised he hadn't let go of my arm,
and it seemed he too realised that as he suddenly took his hand away, leaving a
trail of fire in its path. Those green eyes were so familiar to me yet I just couldn't put my finger on it. He
probably could see the puzzled look in my brown eyes as a grin started
spreading across his face. That was when it hit me.
"Charlie?!" I exclaimed, a goofy smile
across my face. The last time I saw him was when we were both 14 and next door
neighbours. He was also the guy I had a crush on for years.
"Jeez, Chanelle, I don't look
that different, do I?" he asked, scratching behind his ear in a familiar
gesture that now showed off his toned triceps.
I crossed the few feet distance
within several steps in order to get a closer look, at him- I mean am I daydreaming?
"No! Well yes! But- you're so
hot- and well your face....I guess -" I replied aspirated. Still surprised
about the reunion.
"Wait- did you just call me
hot?" He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively and chuckled. I gasped, feeling
my neck and face burn with embarrassment. I smacked his arm playfully , and
tried to hide my nervousness but regretted it as I felt his hard muscles under
my touch. My fingers lingered there for a few purposeful moments, as I looked
up into his eyes. I don't know f it was just me or if his eyes had really
darkened. His laughter had stopped, now a passionate look crossed his elegant
features.
"You had no idea did
you?" his voice had dropped low, and I had to bite my lip to prevent the
ear-to-ear smile that threatened to surface. I swallowed hard.
"You knew- didn't you?"
I asked sheepishly. The dazzling smile he then gave me was so breathtaking- I was
literally breathless for a few seconds. He stepped forward so we were now nose
to nose.
"Yeah." he whispered,
and I could feel his hot breath on my cheek. I could feel my heart slamming
into my ribs at this point, it didn't
help either when he tilted his head slightly to the right. My eyes started
hurting from going cross eyed so I closed them and lent in. Charlie's hand held
my hip and -
"I'm on the floor, floor. I love to dance. So give
me....." I jumped backwards and
whacked my head on the back of the bus shelter. Seemed my radio had to turn on
now! My bad luck! I was still caressing my head with a scowl on my face when Charlie
started heaving with laughter. He doubled over in attempts to stop, and soon
had me joining in with him. After we caught our breath, we both held hands, my
mind was still in a daze about what was about to happen just minutes ago.
"Chanelle?" a screech intervened
out lovely moment, and I turned around to holler at them. Then I stood rooted
at the spot, eyes like saucers. My throat suddenly felt like sandpaper.
"Mum." my eyes connected
with hers, and I could see the anger flaring in them. "Oh crap!" I
cursed under my breath. It was going to be a long , long day.
Thanks for reading!
