10.) #57- Slow Down 308 words
Serena was running late. She cursed herself for sleeping through the alarm on her nightstand yet again. The colors surrounding her blurred together as she ran towards the school as quickly as she could.
She turned the corner and nearly ran into Darien Shields. He pulled her by the wrist back towards him.
"Meatball Head, you're gonna be late anyways, why not slow down and enjoy the view?"
Serena blinked up at him, startled that Darien had stopped her mid run. She started to protest, but then stopped when she looked into his eyes.
Darien was pointing towards the mountain, clearly miles and miles away, but so large you could see it in the sky from angle outdoors. It was majestic, with its sharp edges and curves that moulded into each other and in colors of greens, browns, and whites.
Serena only saw him. She saw his eyes, stormy and dark, and somehow light at the same time. She loved the curve of his lips as he looked at the mount in awe. His hand was warm and he smelled of roses. Serena found herself wanting to lean into his arms, to be held in his warm embrace. The idea came to her suddenly and she fought the idea until it left her mind.
Darien whispered, "Isn't that beautiful? Isn't that the most amazing thing you've ever seen?"
Serena let go of his hand. She smiled knowing that he hadn't tried to let go of her, not even for a second.
"Yeah." Serena turned to walk away, but she couldn't help but look back.
He really was the most beautiful view she had ever seen.
She walked slowly the rest of the way to the school, sneaking a peek back at him before turning the corner to the closed gate.
Maybe being late wasn't really that bad after all.
These have been sitting in the notebook for nearly a year, so I'm just posting the completed ones over the next couple of days. I hope that the increase in updates are enjoyable. -Natasha
