I'm Yours

Teaser: From His Eyes
Azure collided with grayish-brown, blinking back, gazing upon, and for a moment, perhaps even recalling. There was something about them, those innocent pools; they were familiar yet they seemed so far away and from so long ago at the same time. He would have reached out and taken hold of those delicate auburn strands, if only to quell the insane urge to touch her, to possess her. But in the next instant the connection had ended, leaving nothing but a blank space of absolute nothingness in its wake.
"Ah, excuse me." She moved to her right, evading him and his piercing stare in the process. A light blush now tinted her pale cheeks. Somehow, he found himself entranced with the look and he had no idea how that was even possible. He was hardly ever interested in girls and when he was, it was usually about getting laid more than anything else.
This girl- no, woman though, she was different. She was reasonably pretty, he mused, with a delicate allure that screamed dependable at the same time. Her eyes, a clash of this and that- he couldn't quite make out-, were far from ignorant. In fact, they spoke volumes of happiness (of course), a simple kind of joy. Yet they also spoke of pain, a kind he couldn't understand.
He was lost, for a moment, in deep contemplation when he realized just where they were and what he was not doing. Maybe it was because of sheer male pride, maybe it was something else he didn't know, but he found that he just had to do something. He had to get her attention, give her a nice insult or two (for bumping into him); he had to do something… to keep her from leaving.
He could have yelled about how stupid she was or how she should watch where she was going. He could have thrown out a nice fat cuss and been on his way, which would have been what any normal bad-ass would have done. He could have simply ignored it actually, let it go just this once. Instead though, what left his mouth was a line he never imagined he would say, not in this lifetime at least.
"I know you."
