Just when she tripped, he appeared at her side.

It was something fortuitous or unexpected, almost ridiculous, because first she took a stumble and then two steps trying to keep balance. Also, she got scared. That's what made her loose balance vertically and to prevent from falling on her face, she put a hand on the ground and she fall back. She was left sitting on the floor, half surprised, half embarrassed.

''Are you hurt?''

''No''

''Give me your hand''

What could she do? She gave him her hand and he pulled her up snapping her out of her trance. Once on her feet, she caught a glance at his appearance. He was taller than her, his body looked like he had been working out and through his shirt you could see his arms and the extension of his shoulders. His hair, brown and somewhat curly, and it looked slightly soft. But without doubt, what she liked most were his brown eyes, his nose and his lips, they looked soft and perfect. His eyes, they were looking at her in a different way, special; she quickly noticed.

''Are you ok?''

''Yes, yes, it was only a fright.''

''You were distracted.''

''I was just thinking.''

She looked at his face and in that moment she noticed that he looked pale, almost as scared as she had been when she found out that she was going to fall. In his eyes she saw fear and that gave his face a strange effect that puzzled her even more.

''Nothing happened to me, really.'' She gave him a small smile to reassure him.

''Well, then..'' He rubbed the back of his head nervously, not knowing what to do next.

''Thank you''

''No problem. '' He gave her a small smile and dropped the hand to his side.

''Well, goodbye.'' She said goodbye and started to back away, ending their dialogue chaired by her nerves.

But as she walked away from him, leaving him there still, in the middle of the sidewalk, she knew he was still watching her and that in his eyes remained that light of curiousity, expectant, so different from others, even for the most natural: an admirer.

A light filled with sensations.

She managed to keep walking without turning her head. It was hard but she did it, with an army of ants walking her spinal cord and cold emptiness in the pit of her stomach. Then she got into a bakery, a dozen yards beyond, and sighed relieved when she felt safe but she didn't know of what.

New story, inspired by a book. Sorry this was short, but the next chapters will be getting longer and better. Hopefully you'll like it and if you do then review and let me know! When I get some reviews, I'll upload the next one!
