Whose idea was this again? Oh, that's right: mine!
It all began when mister I-can-irritate-the-hell-outta-you decided to hound me for, like ever just because I brought a portable CD player to work and became persona non gratis all day.
Maybe it was the tinny residue from the earphones that bugged him, or the twitching of my head- but I personally think it had to do with my humming and singing along that did it.
The glaring began.
First, it was subtle; you know, sorta hovering within the peripherals burning his laser vision between my delicate shoulder blades, but I steadfastly ignored the royal pain in my butt and soldiered on. Then he must have got bored of my non-reaction, cos he then moved over to my desk and propped himself on the edge – and stared unblinkingly, the lower lip jutting out in such a cute way- not that I thought that, of course.
Then I finally broke and shot to my feet so fast he nearly fell off the desk.
"What is your problem? Will you quit ogling me like some bug-eyed monster?" Out came the puppy-dog; but no way was I gonna soften.
"And what's with the slow blinks, hmm? If you're gonna stare, at least do it right" I'd said huffily- sneeringly.
"Hey! I wasn't blinking!" he huffed right back. "Like you could stare that long and not blink- please!" Then he rolled his eyes.
That was it! Not only had he been harassing me all morning, now he was picking up my habits!
So, here we sat on the couch, facing each other – probably looking constipated by the way the others flicked semi-concerned, yet amused glances our way.
I watched for the first signs of a blink from the beautiful brown eyes of my nemesis…hold on, did I say beautiful? My eyes widened at that, and for a moment, Angel's lids almost flickered.
Rich dark chocolate orbs with countless strands of gold floating and swirling within … the pupils gradually dilated; swallowing the brown and sucking me into a bottomless pit. The more I looked, the more I wanted to see – so weird, too, but I could have sworn that his eyes were getting closer and closer…
Then I blinked- and kept my eyes closed.
Well, what else was a girl to do when worlds- and lips collided?
FIN-?
