1. Falling

Vanessa was sitting on the beach reading, like any other normal day, but the difference between today and any other day was that today was going to change her life forever. Though she didn't know it yet.

She was reading My Sisters Keeper, when some stranger sat right next to her. "Hi" it was a male voice, which Vanessa had never heard before. "Hey" she said politely, though she didn't look up. I'm Zac" "Vanessa" she said still not looking at him. "Could you please look up?" he asked and as she did and their eyes met, his heart melted she was even more beautiful than he thought she would be.

"So do you do this often?" she asked suddenly.

"Do what? He didn't know what she was talking about.

"Go talk to strangers?"

"No, but my friends told me I wasn't spontaneous enough"

"Oh, I see. So that's why you're talking to me." She was kinda offended.

"Uhm, I dunno, maybe. Is it really such a bad thing?" he asked nervous.

"You tell me"

"Then absolutely not" he said smiling, hoping she wasn't mad at him.

She smiled and looked down in the sand, not knowing what else to do.

"You're cute"

"Oh really?" she looked up. "..And is that supposed to be a compliment"

"If it's working then yes" he said still smiling.

"And if it isn't?"

"Then no not at all"

"Hmm and which one do you prefer?" she asked.

"Definitely the first one" he looked at her, then he turned his heard towards the ocean. He was already falling for her, hoping she was feeling the same way.

"Well sorry to tell you this, but if you're trying to make me fall for you, you need to try harder"

Zac looked at her suspicious "Wait a second, are you trying to play hard to get, to make me fall for you?"

"I'm sorry but I can't answer that" she said with a smile.

"Are you flirting with me?" he asked, hoping that she was,

"Maybe, are you?"

"Definitely"

She smiled and her cheeks turn a little red. "Well in that case I'm completely playing hard to get to make you fall for me"

"Well to tell you the truth it's working" he told her as he looked her in the eyes.

"I was actually hoping you would say that" she was looking right in to his eyes as well.

"So have you ever believed in love at first sight" he asked her.

"Not until now" she was looking in to his eyes so intense and full of passion that all Zac wanted to do was to kiss her right there at that exact moment. What stopped him was that he wasn't sure she fell the same way, and he wouldn't do anything to ruin the relationship that they maybe already had begging to build. So instead of kissing her he asked her another question.

"Do you come here a lot?"

She didn't even hear what he said she was too mesmerized about the way he looked. The way his blue eyes made her weak in her knees whenever he looked at her. She had never seen such eyes, at the first sight they were so dark that they looked almost black, but they weren't they were blue, and the closer you looked the lighter they were. Sometimes they even looked baby blue. There was so much feeling in them that she couldn't even describe it, and they had a shape that fit perfectly to his face. He was flawless she thought.

"Vanessa?" he started waving a hand in front of her eyes and that's what made her come back to reality. "I'm sorry did you say something?" "I asked do you come here a lot?" "Oh I'm sorry, yes in a matter of fact I do. I like sitting on the beach feeling the sand between my toes. And to feel the wind in my hair, as I listen to the ocean" she turned her sight to the ocean. "It's such a beautiful sight" "Yeah it is" he said but he wasn't talking about the ocean, he was talking about her.

She turned to face him "I know you're not talking about the ocean" "That shouldn't be a bad thing" he said. "It's not.." she told him as she rested her head on his shoulder. Troy was almost going to faint at the touch of her. This was the first time they ever touch. The first time he touched her perfect skin on his, and it felt amazing. He knew, he barely even know her, but he felt he had known her for his whole life. She was so beautiful, like a goddess, and he was afraid that if he looked away she would disappear. That he would wake up from his dream, though he knew he wasn't dreaming.

Zac wrapped and arm around her and she cuddled in to his chest. "I don't know how it happened, but I fell" she looked up at him. Confused, Zac pulled back. "You fell?" "Yes.." Their eyes crossed. "I fell for you."
