Amber's electrocuted herself once. She had accidentally touched open wire while trying to fix the wiring of a desktop in school. Her muscles had clenched and spasmed in protest, an oddly painful sensation that sends her nerves into shock and her body stiff from the sudden attack. A buzzing sensation that she never wants to experience again.
This was nothing like that.
This was a sudden jerk to her senses as if she had always been underwater, submerged in beds of cotton drenched in alcohol. It was like a burst of pleasant energy accompanied by little pleasurable shivers that spread across her skin. Kind of like the sudden gush of energy after a short sweaty afternoon jog that you get after a morning of sleepy drowsiness fuelled by hours of lectures.
It lighted an inner warmth she's never known needed to be a lighted, a soothing heat that quells all her feelings of anxiety and fears. It was like taking a sip of hot chocolate in front of a crackly fire after hours outside in a blizzard. It warms you inside, making cheeks pink and bodies tingle.
Sweet, warm and comforting electricity.
That's the only way she can describe the feeling that courses up her body in waves at his touch.
Electricity.
She's feeling all that within that mere second of their touch and it elicits a gasp from her lips, mirrored by a sharp intake of breath from him.
In her moment of shock, her eyes automatically snap up to meet his and what greets her is a familiar face that she only sees on TV screens.
A bared face boy with soft white-blonde locks, slightly wet and frizzy from a recent shower stared down at her. Some strands of his hair were slightly stuck to each other from beads of water and darker at certain areas where new hair grew.
His hair stood out cutely in a messy rumple of sharp wet flops and spikes. His hair was parted in the centre, brushed to gently cover thick dark brows that while well-shaped and possibly threaded were larger and thicker than most Asian men.
It was paired with one of the most aesthetically shaped noses Amber has seen in her life of online images and youtube videos. He had a higher and sharper nose bridge than most, a little bulky at the centre but nothing that sullied his handsome face. His looks were coupled off with a chiselled, heart-shaped face, not too thin nor too soft.
Just right, would be what Goldilocks would say if she ever saw such a male specimen.
His face was, topped off like chocolate shavings to ice cream, with rose pink lips on the thinner side and a little beauty mark at the corner of his right eye, a small dark brown dot. Lips that were soft and a little shimmery with moisturizer or saliva. Amber couldn't really tell because at that moment with his lips parted like this to reveal peaks of squared teeth, his tongue darted out quickly to wet drying lips.
What scared her the most, or rather, turned her on the most were those beguiling, doe-shaped eyes framed by dark lashes that were angled downwards and inlaid with dark brown orbs. Eyes that were a chocolate brown but yet just light enough for her to see the slight change in colour to pupils that were dilating slightly. They bored into hers, flickering with a variety of emotions as her eyes darted across his features so fast she's sure she must have looked a little crazy, like cartoon characters with swirls in their eyes.
At that moment Amber's noticing things she never knew, like how one of his eyes has more crease than the other folding into lids of the skin or how fine and pale his skin was save for the little impurities, pink scars of adolescence at his left cheek. Maybe it's the way his eyes glistened from the bathroom light with sleepy tears or how one side of his lashes is shorter than the other. Then it's the fact that he's actually really tall despite the flip flops, towering over her by a good head and to be honest Amber's not that short in the spectrum of Asian women heights.
Suffice to say. He was the most ridiculously handsome male she's ever seen in real life and he was staring at her with such burning intensity she's sure she might combust. It's the same look on his face when he models for photos, a smouldering look that conceals his emotions.
Emotions that swirl deep within those brown orbs as they dart across her face. Pupils dilating and focusing again and again.
Then she's realizing more than just that. Maybe the closeness of their faces, the soft exhales of his breath that drifts to her in minty toothpaste wafts. The way his eyelashes flutter over his cheeks when he blinks.
Even better was the light flush of pink on his cheeks that stained the pale beige hue in a pretty rose. The colour travels to his ears to blossom is a stunning red.
Absolutely adorable.
The spell is broken by the sudden rush of cold icy water on their palms as the sensor, finally decides to work and the both of them jerk away. She's flinching back, stepping one huge awkward step away from him. Her legs parting like the red sea.
The sudden loss of that pleasant energy is like a cold slap to the face. It's the sudden replacement of chillness that sends her longing for more and she resists the urge to wrap cold fingers around her arms.
One huge step that elicits a smirk from him, a smile that turns her legs to jelly and her heart beating so hard she fears it might escape from her chest.
It's the smile that kills her nerve and reminds her of the current situation.
Then she's turning and dashing away as fast as her little legs could carry her as her mind blasts his name loud and clear like the loudspeaker they use on sports day. It's just her luck that the elevator door is open and MiRi's directing their chauffeur in with their luggage, her battered and peeling pink and MiRi's own bright polished lime. She's hurtling through, pulling MiRi along and as she watched the elevator door slam shut she sinks to her knees right onto the carpeted floors of the elevator.
MiRi's alarmed, shaking her repeatedly in question. But Amber doesn't even register her words in her mind because her mind is filled with a single name.
