-Recap-
"No. Please. Get. OUT." Penelo's voice was muffled; she hadn't lifted her head from the pillow. Corene finally got up, and headed for the door.
"Ok." She said, still deciding if she should stay and push more, or just leave. After evaluating how mad Penelo seemed, she headed out. She walked down the hallway, passed Vaan's room, and into the main door. She went to the front door and stood for a second, thinking.
Corene unsteadily climbed the Lowtown steps, squinting as the doors opened as she was brought back into the light of the sun. She stared up into the sky, looking at the clouds and loving the way the sun felt on her face. Woah… I've been underground for a pretty long time, and I didn't even realize it. Bringing her face down, and looking around, she blushed heavily as she noticed a young, handsome boy about her age looking at her with a raised eyebrow. He was dressed very unusually, compared to the other Rabanastre residents, and many people stared at him as they walked by. He had on all black, his outfit just a little bit like Vaan's, except he had a normal shirt. He had the same pants, and they were black, with gunmetal buckles and tassels. He had large boots on, also all black, and his hair was a little longer than Vaan's and dark. A bit of his hair rested on his face. Like Corene's, it had blue streaks in it, and only there. He smirked after noticing her embarrassed state, and leaned on his left leg, folding his arms on over his chest.
"I take it you haven't come out of there in a while, huh?" He said, still smirking. Corene looked up, trying to fight her blush. This guy's smart ass vibe is making me feel stupid! He smirked again, noticing a small look of annoyance in the small girl's face.
Aww, how cute, she's trying to look tough. Aww. He strolled towards her, a sinister, yet friendly smile on his face. Corene couldn't stay firm. She quickly got fixated with her fingernails, pretending to examine them. He continued moving towards her, and as he got close, he slowly bent so that he was closer to his face, flipping the hair in his face back. He tenderly brought his hand up to her face, lifting her chin with only a finger. Corene looked into his blue green eyes with a fearful look, her green eyes large and glassy, deep like a pond. Her eyes widened a little more, as she noticed all the different colors in his eyes. They were blue green like the ocean, but dark, as if they were actually brown. In fact, his eyes were almost black they were so dark, it was crazy. His lips pursed in a mocking way.
"You should learn to look people in the eye." He said quietly, his voice making her melt. His breath was cool, and smelled sweet. "If you don't, they might take advantage of you." He got closer, moving his head to her shoulder, and whispered in her ear.
"And we wouldn't want that, now would we?"
The closeness made Corene feel weak, but she slowly shook her head no. He nodded, moving a way from her. Now his eyes were the blue-green again, and bright. He still was bent, but he dropped his hand. "When we talk, I want you to look me in the eye. Got that?" Corene nodded, her eyes lost in his. "Speak. What's your name?" His bright eyes were dark now, almost black again.
Corene gulped. "C-Corene…."
The boy smiled. "Corene, eh?" Corene nodded.
"Y-yes."
"A Pretty name, for a pretty girl." He stood up now, looking ahead, towards the Lowtown doors. He pulled a torn sheet of paper out of his pants pocket and looked at it, then looked at the Lowtown doors. He quickly put it away, and put his hand on Corene's shoulder, leaning into her ear. "It was nice meeting you, Corene. I hope to see you again." He whispered quietly, and disappeared down through the door of Lowtown and down the stairs.
Corene breathed hard, her chest heaving up and down. Her heart was beating out of control, and the blush on her face had not faltered. She could barely breathe, and feeling dizzy and lightheaded, she tried her best to find a seat. Luckily she found one before she collapsed on the ground and leaned back to take a breather. Who was that guy!? He was so hot… but so mysterious. He takes my breath away and makes me do things I never do… like talking to someone I don't know, but I don't even know what his name is… Corene tried to sit up, but a wave of nausea came over her. Maybe I should just get the hell home… I feel way too lightheaded to go look for Vaan… Corene stood up, still shaking from her steamy encounter. As she made her way to the double doors, her legs buckled. She was able to catch her self, but as soon as she did, everything started spinning, and suddenly, the setting sun became deathly dark; pitch black.
Did the mystery boy sound hot enough? Lol. Girls, please let me know. Please keep reading, there's more to come. Can you guys do me a favor... and help me think of a name for him? Thanks!
