Hey guys! Sooooo, I suddenly had this idea to write drabbles based on songs. (If you've seen Her Heart, most of the chapters there are titled after a song.) Music inspires me to write. Whenever I'm on my way home from work, I start getting ideas for a fic once a song starts playing. Because, I just can't get those ideas off my head, I decided to start drabbles! YAY! Don't worry, I'm still working on my other stories! :D
Enjoy!

Girls have never been a complete mystery to him. He always has to deal with them — at home where he has two younger sisters, at the university where he studies with his childhood friend who's probably the strongest girl in campus, and at work with more people than he can imagine.
Yes. When it comes to girls, Ichigo Kurosaki knows what to make them tick, react, and go head over heels. Of course, he'd know all that. After all, that's what being an actor is all about, right?
At the age of 21, Ichigo has had countless of encounters with girls. Some of them were for work, shooting films and commercials with different girls of all ages. Some of them were friendly encounters, like with a certain Rukia Kuchiki and Tatsuki Arisawa who always jump at every chance they had to annoy him when he's not working. And, some of them were bordering on intimate. Dates, flings, and one-night stands were not new to him.
But, when he met her. Everything he thought he knew about the female species went down the drain.
.
..
Never know what she means to me
.
..
After six hours of shooting a commercial, Ichigo was dead tired. He wants nothing but to go home, have a hot bath, and sleep in his bed through the night. He was packing his things when his friend and assistant, Keigo Asano, approached him.
"Ichigoooooooooo! We're going to have a drink before settling in for the night. Wanna come with us?" Keigo enthusiastically asked.
"Sorry, Keigo. I'll pass. Too tired," he replied while checking the contents of his bag.
"Mou~ Just this one time, please!" Keigo pleaded, making puppy eyes at his orange haired actor. Ichigo grunted. He couldn't really stand Keigo's antics. And, the more he ignored the guy, the more annoying he becomes.
With a sigh of surrender, Ichigo agreed to coming with his friend and some of the crew for a few drinks.

Met her at a counter affair, wore a green dress and everybody was there
.
..
It was a bar in the local district of Karakura. There weren't too many people on the place, so they didn't have trouble finding a spot for the group. Upon seeing Ichigo's face, the owner of the bar immediately had them seated at the best spot in the bar where they had a bit of privacy. A few couple of girls would come up to Ichigo to greet him or ask for his autograph, which was no problem for the young star.
After a few beer bottles emptied and stupid jokes from Keigo, Ichigo was officially bored and drained. He couldn't keep his eyes open for a couple of minutes, and could barely reply properly at his friends' questions.
He folded his arms on the table, placing his cheek on his palm and trying to keep track of the conversation. He glanced to the side and saw….auburn and green?
He blinked a few times to see where the flash of auburn and green came from. His eyes fell on a girl with long auburn hair falling to her waist. She was wearing a green dress that reach just above her knees. She was standing near the entrance, looking around the bar as if searching for a familiar face. Her doe-like eyes landed on him, and she smiled and waved.
Ichigo blushed. A beautiful girl was smiling and waving at him, and he was staring at her like an idiot. Before he had a chance to raise his hand and wave back, Keigo suddenly shouted from behind him.
"Ahhh! Inoue-san! Over here!"
The girl in the green dress walked closer to their table, her face radiant like the sun with her warm smile and kind eyes.
"Hello, Asano-san! I'm sorry for being a bit late. I had last minute errands at work," she smiled sheepishly, scratching the back of her head in a way that Ichigo found adorable.
"Naahh. It's okay! Come and sit!" Keigo invited.
Ichigo immediately stood up, almost toppling his chair at his abruptness. The girl was surprised at his action, her eyes meeting his. He noticed that her eyes were of a deep gray with flecks of silver, and Ichigo felt like he could stare at them all day and never get tired.
"Ahh. I forgot. This is Ichigo. Kurosaki Ichigo," Keigo introduced. The girl glanced back at Keigo with a questioning look on her face. "He's an actor. You know, a couple of commercials? No? Uhmm, how about Space Captain Z: Warriors of the Universe?"
At this, her face lit up. "OHHHHHHHHH! I remember! So you're Captain Zeldock! WOWWWW!" she squealed like a child who just won first place in a competition, while Ichigo mentally groaned. Of all the stupid roles, Keigo has to remind her of THAT ridiculous captain of whatever.
"Yeah. I guess I am," he answered without looking back at her while she just smiled.
She extended her right hand and greeted him with a smile. "Hello, I'm Orihime Inoue. Nice to meet you, Kurosaki-kun."
.
..
Wondering where you are
.

The last time he felt this way was back in high school. Ichigo was always smooth when it comes to flirting with girls, but talking and being with Orihime was a different matter. Right now, he felt like the giddy schoolboy nursing a small crush on the girl with the bright smile and long auburn hair. It's been days since the last time he saw her at the local bar. And, it took all his self-control (and pride) not to ask Keigo for her number and whatnot. He wanted to be with her. He'd clear a day of his busy schedule just to see her and take her out.
To hell with his career! He'd rather be with her than in front of cameras, pretending to be somebody he's not.
He was on his way to his apartment when he drove past her in an intersection. He immediately hit the brakes, causing his tires to screech at the sudden stop. He tried to calm down and looked at his rear view mirror. It seemed that she was waiting for the light to change, and she didn't notice him drive by.
Ichigo got out of his car and called out to her. "Inoue!"
Her head snapped at his direction, her lips turned up at both sides to show her stunning smile. "Kurosaki-kun! Hello!" she waved back enthusiastically.
He gestured for her to come over to his car, in which she immediately complied. He pushed up his sunglasses to get a better view of her. "Where are you headed? I'll drive you there," he offered.
Orihime's eyes widened at his offer, and she quickly shook his head. "Ahhh..I-it's alright! I don't want to bother Kurosaki-kun! I know you're a very busy person, and I—"
"Inoue," she immediately stopped her rambling and looked to him. "It's okay. I don't mind. Now, where are you headed?"
She looked down, playing with the hem of her shirt. "T-to my apartment."
Ichigo put back his sunglasses. "Come on. Get in the car."

Never had to be on the movie screen to be the leading lady in all my dreams

Ichigo Kurosaki was irrevocably, undeniably, truly in love. He loves the way she talked about little blue men, fairies, and, his favorite topic, small pudding armies that threaten to take over Strawberryland. He loves the way she twirls her hair in her small fingers when she's embarrassed or daydreaming.
He loves the way she would bite her lips and avert her eyes when she suddenly remembers her late brother, or the poor puppy her aunt didn't want her to bring home when she was just small.
He loves how her hair would shine when the afternoon sun hits it, creating different shades of gold, red, and orange. He's captivated when her eyes would light up, and her lips turned into a wide smile just for him.
And, most of all, he loves how she would say his name when it was just them alone. And, the way she would sigh after every kiss they've shared. He loves how she would lean on him as they hug, and how his arms would encase around her.
Ichigo thought he knew everything about girls, but meeting Orihime changed all that. With her, he slowly discovered every small aspect that's uniquely Orihime. And, he would revel in all the knowledge and moments for as long as they take.
He was a star, and he had all the right reasons to fall. Especially when it's with Orihime.

The girl in the green dress, she took my breath away.

Fin.
Yay! That's one drabble! Kinda short, but I want to keep it like that. I'll try to do something longer later. HAHA.
Anyway, thanks for reading guys! If you have any song you would want me to write an IchiHime story, just leave it in your reviews~
