A/N: A very short but sweet prologue. The first chapter should be coming soon!
I used to wonder what made life worth living, actually I still do wonder that answer. No, I'm not suicidal or anything, these aren't my last thoughts, but just out of curiosity. Well, I guess you can say the stress of it all ( of life that is ) makes me wonder that too. I find myself especially curious today while sitting on the bicycle seat of this boy I've come to know.
You can say the mood of this ride is romantic, but I'm not sure how I feel about this particular person. After all, ever since I met him life has been one big turn of wrong events. I mean, some good has happened every now and then but hell… There are some things I could've live without dealing with.
As I was saying before, what makes life worth living? Is it romance? Camaraderie? Having ambitions and completing dreams? One would say all those things are the main ingredients in the dish of life, but are they... to me? To be honest, I always thought that love is an important factor in a woman's life. I think that love makes a girl blossom into a better and stronger her. I could be wrong, love can also have its downsides, but maybe I'm just a bit hopeless; just completely impractical when it comes to what is love..
True love.
I say this while watching his hair blow in the wind as we're enjoying this surprisingly calm and quiet bike ride. His strong scent smells like a summer morning with a nostalgia touch of one thing I know he loves. Probably something he can't live without to be honest. I find myself enjoying it, more so now that it is the only thing I can smell from how close we are. It's strange… It's strange I come from knowing nothing about him to slowly picking up everything about him so quickly.
"Are you alright?"
I must've worried him by loosening my hold on him since I was too busy watching the back of his head, "I'm fine, pay attention to the road."
He flashed me what looked to be a lopsided grin and turned away, leaving me alone to my thoughts again as the giant, bright star was slowly dipping down to the horizon. I wonder if we'll be riding long enough to see the stars. If not, I'm not sure if I'm ready to leave the warmth that radiates off him in strong, comforting waves.
I don't think I'm ready for anything honestly. I'm not ready to know anything, but what I do know is…
I can't imagine how things would be right now if I hadn't met him.
