Wow, it sure has been a while and I am really sorry i've just started going to my college and what with moving state and leaving home I've been really busy. But since I'm visiting my family for two weeks, this being my first day, this came to me right off the top of my head. Now it is a bit shoddy, but tell me what you think...

Drabble #40

Prompt: Touch

"Are you lost?" a voice caught his attention breaking through the din of voices, bangs and corridor noise making him whirl about looking for the source, looking away from the sheet he probably should be looking at to be captured by an extremely bright pair of sapphire eyes. For a moment he focused just on those and then moved his gaze on for a more thorough scan.

Auburn hair slightly short thinned and tied into to cute pigtails with a sweeping fringegave the sapphire eyes a cheeky look, her skin had a deep summer tan with a light sprinkle of freckles, her nose was slightly red with cold and her lashes were long, sooty and spiky casting dark shadows over her arched cheekbones. Her body was lithe like that of an athlete and she wore frayed holey pale washed jeans that sat low on her hips with a white long sleeved shirt that showed a thick strip of tan and it didn't look orange at all which told him that it was not at all fake like most girls.

He came to the conclusion that she was pretty and wondered how many minutes it would take to get her number out of this.

He didn't feel stupid in considering this as he knew he was more than just alright looking. Sun bleached blonde hair, a lanky frame, bright blue eyes and tan skin with a hoop through his left ear. It also helped that his lean soccer frame gave him a good body that didn't look to bad in his dark blue faded loose jeans, blue t-shirt and loose Abercrombie jacket.

He smiled a charming smile and opened his mouth ready to play up the sympathy with ahint of flirting only to be forestalled by his supposed 'guide' jumping in away from the conversation he'd been so immersed in, "Sammy-babe," the brunette Darrell grinned at the girl familiarly. "I'm guiding him round no need to feel obligated."

The red head rolled her eyes, "Darrell, you couldn't guide your way out of a paper bag."

Gabe had to agree, so far all he'd done was stand around waiting for the idiot to stop talking to his friends.

The brunette grinned, shrugging not even jumping to his own defense, "yeah well… Sammy this is Gabe, Gabe, Sammy."

"Its Sam really," she smiled prettily.

Gabe smiled once again charmingly at her and was about to open his mouth yet again to try subtle flirting when they were interrupted, yet again,as a jacket was slid over Sam's shoulders and a lean arm wrapped its way possessively about her waist.

Gabe followed the arm with his eyes to look onto its owner, finding he had to look slightly upwards to look him in the eye. The guy's eyes were dark brown, serious looking and intense set in a sharp cheek-boned face with tan skin. Black hair was tied at the nape of his neck and something about him screamed of hard work and cowboy, something that was quite the profession in this place. He was taller than himself by at least two inches and had broad shoulders and a definitely possessive stance towards the red head as he wrapped her up in himself.

"Jake, my man," Gabe watched Darrell and the annoyed looking young man trade off a typical guy handshake of knuckles and tapping going on in front of his face while the red head stood on her tip toes to kiss the newcomer on the cheek in welcome.

"Chemistry," he took it that Jake wasn't much of a talker as he looked to Sam as he said this, turning her at the same time.

"Oh!" the cupid bow lips smiled a little, her head tilted to look over her shoulder at them, "yeah, well see you Darrell, nice to meet you Gabe."

He could only watch as the girl he'd set his sights on smiled up at the cowboy leading her away. As he did, Darrell slung his arm over the blonde's shoulders, "you've just met the captain of the soccer team and his girlfriend. I'd advise you not to touch her," there was a sadistic note of cheerfulness in his voice as he continued, "he'd cut off your balls if you even tried."
