I first noticed her as she noticed me, piercing dark blue eyes staring at me, causing me to duck eye contact and see her lavish lips encasing commercial worthy teeth, a lavender scarf draped around a thin neck that was swallowed by a grey shirt, jeans looser than the typical girl wears but formed enough to excite, 3 different colors of hair diving out beneath the most god awful checker boarded train engineer hat ive ever seen.
i pretended to listen to Rhio and uttered out mindless questions about our sales as i couldnt stop staring at the glow that her face was emitting, surrounded by baby soft looking skin which seemed so innocent. we exchanged glances, short and lengthy, as the few freckles she had mesmerized me while the hoarseness of her voice made me question her youthful appearance.
Sam approached her but when he did she faced towards me and smiled sheepishly. walking away, i conceded defeat, knowing that if my heart was already sunken then my mind wouldnt stand a chance. the opportunity to gaze into perfection kept me at bay, so i reverted to old tricks and followed her as she immediately slipped into the produce section. Plagued by a racing heart, i fronted apples as she made a futile attempt to shop while talking on her phone. though time had ceased within me, it seemed like an eternity later as she walked away having picked up more eye contact than items.
I strutted to the front of the store, a false sense of accomplishment in mind, with hopes of showing a friend the beautiful girl who had just stolen 15 minutes of my life. in the midst of describing the object of my desire i noticed her lurking towards me. with a face turned purple i couldnt hear over my beating heart, she spoke to me asking questions while i tried my dearest to remember to breathe. Some small talk and a walk to the blueberries and i couldnt have felt any lighter. One long last glance and I walked off, fluttering on the inside.
for some odd reason, the world really had stopped, six different people not only asked but assumed i had gotten her phone number. Next time, I will, and then the next I will be the hidden person she talks to as she breaks waves through the world.
