lj-cut text" My heart melts all over again when I see that smile. " I was always attracted to people with great smiles. Not just in a sexual way, but anyone with a great smile, I could be friends with them.

My mom had the warmest smile in the world. She was always there to help with anything I needed help with. She was a stay at home mom, so I was never a day without her, and when ever I wanted something, she did it with a smile. I still remember making cookies with her, her laughing every time I got flour on my face. Sometimes I did it on purpose, just to hear her laugh.

My best friend Mimi, she has a great smile. Everybody says so. It's normally the first thing people notice about her. That was what that skin head must have noticed, and when I helped her out of that ally, and we we're catching our breath five blocks away, she looked up at me with that innocent smile, and muttered a thanks. I knew from her smile that we would be fast friends.

Now Collins… Ohh god, I don't have to tell you about Collins's smile do I? If you saw him with a genuine smile, just once, you would know exactly what I meant. His is just perfect in every which way. He has gorgeous lips, the perfect shade of pink against his dark coffee colored skin. He shows the perfect amount of teeth, not like one of those dorky smiles that make their teeth look too big in their mouths, but just perfect. And when he smiles, a really big smile, when he's laughing, he does this thing with his head where he tips it back just a bit and closes his eyes. I've never met anyone with a smile that literally lit up their whole face. And I get to look at that smile for the rest of my life.

"Angel?"

I'm pulled out of my thoughts by his deep voice, and I can't help but smile seeing him. I give him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Hey baby! How was work?"

He scoffs at my short kiss and pulls me to him. "You call that a welcome home kiss!" He leans down and gives me a longer, more passionate kiss, before pulling away breathily. "And work was fine."

I can't help but look up at him dreamily. "I'm glad you're home."

He smiled at me, tilting his head back just a bit. "Why's that?"

My heart melts all over again when I see that smile. "I just missed you is all." And I get to look at that smile for the rest of my life. /lj-cut
