Heaven Sent

Yugi looked up at the man that stood in front of her. She had never been around such an attractive man but after this one time, she hoped that this wasn't going to be the last time that she saw this man. She felt like a giddy school girl but at the same time a beautiful young woman when she caught his gaze turning in her direction. No one had ever given her a feeling like this before.

"Good morning beautiful," he said as he walked up to her. It was a cold winter day in her second semester at the school. She smiled at him and returned his greeting before looking around.

"No entourage today?" she asked. He smiled lightly at her.

"No not today. I thought we might be able to do something together instead," he responded as they started on their short journey to the bookstore to get their usual coffee and a good book.

Yugi looked at him with a big grin and a nod. They never got to do anything without someone that knew one of them coming by and joining them for some sort of entertainment. Because of this, they did not really get much of a relationship out of the earlier semester but Yugi was hoping to change that this semester.

"What were you thinking we could do?" She asked.

His reply was to wink at her and motion for her to follow him into the back of the store. There was where the teen fiction stories were kept and sold. "I thought you might like to listen to me read something for you." His smile was contagious and she allowed him to pull her to the bookshelf to look for a book she would like to hear. They both liked teen books because neither liked to read about sex.

They spent four hours sitting in the teen section together with hot chocolate and a few books that she picked out for him to read. His voice was so melodic and sweet she was almost put into a trance by it and did not notice the time when by so quickly until he suddenly stopped reading and touched her forehead. She opened her eyes that she did not realize she had closed and looked into his bright blue eyes full of amusement. She smiled at him and watched as her lips moved in the reflection in his eyes.

"You have class in twenty minutes. Do you have your books or do you need to go back to my apartment?" he asked her. She did not respond so he poked her in the forehead again and she blinked. She had been so lost in his eyes that she had forgotten what was going on around her.

"What?" she asked. He chuckled at her before repeating his question, "Oh, I need to go back to your apartment. I left it all there because I didn't think we would be here for four hours. How did that happen?" she asked as he got up and helped her get up.

He smiled at her as they started their walk through the store and out into the cold on their way back to his apartment, "I'm not sure. You are the only person that I can spend four hours with and not realize that time is passing that quickly." She blushed at his comment.

"It is nice to know that you still like me after a month of not seeing you. I thought that you might have stopped liking me after our long winter break." Yugi told him looking in the opposite direction of his beautiful face.

He stopped and grabbed her arm softly. Just enough for him to stop her and make her look at him, "I would never for get about you, but you are right. I did stop liking you."

Her face fell and she felt like her heart was about to break. She tried to pull away from him but he held on to her arm tighter. "You didn't let me finish-".

"You don't have to finish your sentence for me to know that you no longer want to be around me! How could you spend today with me and not tell me about this? I wouldn't have come had I known!" she was almost screaming at him. Her only reply was a loud humorous laugh. She looked up at him angrily now. Now he was laughing at her.

"Love.," she stopped in her tracks. He had never said that word before, "That was what I was going to say. I no longer like you, I love you and for as long as I shall live, I do not believe that this feeling will end." He was smiling brightly at the end.

She starred up at him completely caught off guard. Her eyes were shining with mini diamonds. They fell from her eyes and left shinning tracks down her cheeks before slipping off of her chin and splashing on the ground.

"Are you being serious?" she asked him in disbelief.

He smiled at her and nodded. She hugged him. He was to tall for her to kiss so she hugged him around the waist as tight as she could. He caught her as she threw her weight on him and held her back equally as tight.

"I can't believe that you said that. I have been waiting for so long to hear you say it. I just can't believe it." was her reply after a little while still wrapped in his arms. That was when she realized that they were still standing on the side of the road in the cold and she had class in only five minutes. She still had to get her books from his room on the fourth floor of his apartment building so they had to hurry. "I love you to but I need to get my stuff or I'm going to be late for class." she told him smiling as she started to drag him toward his building.

He laughed again, "It seems that no matter what I do, you always seem to tag something beautiful and emotional on to the end of some off hand comment. Maybe I need to find a way to make that impossible for you to do." His side long gaze told her that he was thinking of something mischievous to do to get the results that he wanted. It was the first time that that gaze was pointed directly at her and for some reason, it made her heart skip a beat and pick up speed.

"I would like to see you try," she said egging him on. His gaze made her curious and she wanted to know what he would think of.

When he heard what she said, his mouth formed a more devious smile and he nodded his head, "I believe dear madam that that was a bet and one that I do not plan on losing." She made and audible gulp and realized that she had just gotten her self into a situation that had the possibility to run her into the ground.

They reached his apartment then and took the elevator up to the fourth floor in silence. He was thinking of what to do next and she was wondering what he may possibly try to do. The possibilities that she came up with were starting to scare her.

They got off the elevator and he walked her to his apartment and then to his room to retrieve her belongings before she said good bye and ran out of the room and the apartment and the building, all the way to her class. She got there just before it started.
