Nicholas couldn't take his eyes off Erin. Every move she made captivated him. Her eyes, her smile, even her laugh made him feel weak in the knees. He knew he had fallen in love with her the moment she first spoke. Nicholas's dreams couldn't prepare him for the overwhelming beauty of Erin. She was breath taking. No angel could compare to her in his mind. Her hair was pure gold clouds that floated around her oval face. Her eyes were sunlit ocean-blue windows to her soul. Her lips appeared to be a single rose petal. Her skin was the color of cream mixed with a little pinch of nutmeg. Her voice had such an indescribable quality to it unlike any other. He was blessed to just walk beside and talk to her.
"I moved here about three years ago after my father died." Erin softly spoke. "I don't really know anyone here except for my friends who died a year ago." Pain filled her eyes as she remembered Faith and Conner's smiling faces.
"I'm sorry to hear that, I can understand." Nicholas said trying to comfort Erin.
"They never really left me, their memory still lives in on through me." Erin said forcing a small smile.
"That's the only way a person can live forever," Nicholas said after a few moments of careful thought.
"Yes that is the only way a person can live forever." Erin agreed. "Also real love can endure forever even after we are long gone." "It's getting late, may I escort you home Erin?" Nicholas asked after noticing how dark the sky had gotten.
"Yes you may" was Erin's answer.
Erin couldn't understand why she was so drawn to Nicholas. There was something about him that she felt connected to. Also his physical appearance was appealing. His long ebony hair slightly touched his shoulders in ripping curls. His eyes were such a roseleaf's deep green. Furthermore she couldn't deny that he strongly resembled Brandon Lee. In fact she could had sworn they were twins. "Looks like it is about to rain" Nicholas said after a few moments of silence.
"Does it?" Erin asked. I guess I haven't been paying attention." No one could blame you," Nicholas said especially living in this town. However if you don't pay attention to what's ahead or behind you, you could pay a nasty price." "You sound like you have had experience in those matters" Erin softly spoke.
"Yes, I have actually. Ten years ago the Suicide King claimed my sister as his first victim." was Nicholas's reply.
"The Suicide King? Isn't he the one who killed Faith and Conner?" was the thought that ran through her brain.
"Are we close to your apartment?" Nicholas asked trying to change the subject.
Erin looked around and realized they were nowhere near her home. "As much as I hate to say this we're not." Well we are near my apartment if you would like to go there?" Nicholas asked.
"
Sure because it looks like the sky is about to cry." Erin answered.
With those words they headed to his apartment when it began to pour.
