Hey pretty girl, won't you look my way
Love's in the air tonight
You can bet you'll make this ol' boy's day
Hey pretty girl, won't you look my way
He laid underneath an oak tree, his notebook next to him, long forgotten opened with the pages lightly lifting in the small breeze. He came out here to journal and help break through his writer's block. Instead, he found himself watching the people around. Some high school boys were on the outskirts throwing a football, a toddler in the center, running in a circle as he tried to escape her dad. He remembers those days with Alexis when she first learned how to walk and all she wanted to do is run even to this day she goes at things full force.
A flash out on the stone path caught his attention. More like someone. Her back was to him. From the long cascading golden waves, petite curves outlining her outfit, and high stiletto heel, he could tell it was a she. In all the laughter and carefreeness filling the park, she seemed to be the one spot of agitation. He didn't know what was causing it, but he was curious as to why. Before he could create his own story, she turned, showing him her profile. And although her slim phone was blocking part of it, he could tell she was beautiful.
He tried to look away before she caught him staring but he couldn't. There was something about her, she was different out of everyone here she was the only one by herself well, besides him. She turned to face him completely; thankfully she was too caught up in her phone call to notice him staring.
He wanted to look away, even picked up his journal to make it look like he was thinking about what to write next just in case she did notice him. Whoever said she was talking to must have said something amusing because he could hear her laughter across the grass. His heart almost stopped at the smile that spread across her face, he had dated models and actresses but never had he seen a smile so bright, so breathtaking. He knew just one thing he had to meet her.
He threw caution to the wind deciding to approach her. He had no idea what he was going to say or how she would react but he had to do it. If he didn't he would regret it. As we walked over to her his mind filled with doubts, what if she was talking to her husband or fiancée? He didn't a see a ring on her hand so that was encouraging but what if it was her boyfriend. What was he thinking? Approaching some random girl at the park she's going to think he's a psycho. Well, it was too late now he was too close to turn back now.
He was a couple feet away from her when she noticed him. Her eyes met his; the electricity flowed between them, it was undeniable there was a spark between them.
He stuck his hand out, "I'm Rick."
She looked at him questioningly for a moment before taking his hand, "I'm Kate."
It didn't matter what else happened that day, it would be a good day.
Life's a long and winding ride
Better have the right one by your side
And happiness don't drag its feet
Time moves faster than you think
