Want You So Bad

Chapter One: Prologue

She shivered, breath hitching.

If she were in another time, maybe even as another person, she would almost be amused at her predicament. She was pushed up against a wall in an alleyway with a man right before her, hands slammed to either side of her head, so close that their warm bodies almost touched. Almost.

Oh but how she wanted to feel his touch, to close her eyes to his lips pressed to hers, to have his fingertips combing through her hair and the other stroking her back.

They were so close that it hurt. She could count the number of strands in his hair…she wanted to touch them. Were they as soft as she had imagined? But it was forbidden. They could not do this.

Was it love she was feeling? What was it? To tingle every time you saw him, every time you brushed past him, only to stare at him with a lingering look as he walked away. To sting so much, knowing it could never be. To know you had to turn away, eventually.

Quietly, fearfully, she glanced up, into his beautiful honey-chocolate eyes. Those eyes that always danced, sparkling with something hidden.

"...I'm so, so sorry…" he whispered, cupping her cheek with one hand. And before she could comprehend his words properly, feather light lips met hers, started moving against hers. They were so soft, as if afraid she might break, and this only broke her heart even more.

She couldn't think anymore, and slowly, she parted her lips and responded, bringing her arms up around his neck while his wrapped around her waist, pulling her flush against him. He was so warm...

Then she suddenly realized where she was, who she was with, and what she was doing. Shame came over her like a wave and she turned her head away, face flushed as she pushed him back.

"I-I can't do this. I'm sorry…but I can't--w-we can't,"she stuttered, turning away from him. She didn't want to see the look in his eyes.

She stumbled past him, running for all she was worth, blindly, as the tears flew behind her and the wind slapped her hair across her face. But she didn't care.

None of it mattered anymore.

A man, with his eyes shaded by bangs, leaned against the wall behind him, watching the woman he had just held run away from him.

He stared despondedly at the floor, a taunting voice whispering in his mind. You can never have her, nowcan you?

He laughed softly. The choked sound echoed back to him.

I don't want to give you up.I found you. You're not running away from me, not again...

But…he guessed, this was the way it was going to be, huh? Why did his happiness cause him so much pain?

Her words echoed in his head. He pressed a finger to the lips that had kissed hers, already feeling the familiar heat travelling through him.

Soft…he thought.

A/N: HEY! This is my shabby try at romance. Hmm, I've had this idea for awhile now, but I haven't had the inspiration to take it up. But then…the words just flew onto the screen one day. Um, I actually quite like what I came up with, but that's just my opinion. Eh…sorry it's short! But it's only a prologue.

Updates: Oh my freaking god...this website always screws up the text...some of it is all bunched together! I'm tired of going back and correcting it. cough Okay, you all must be wondering why I haven't updated in so long. Well I got preoccupied with fictionpress . com, you could say...but I'm back now! I edited this chapter of all the stuff that I didn't like (I don't know what possessed me to write that horrible stuff) and now I'm going to try and work on chapter one. Hopefully I'll update soon and regularly from now on, hey? Atleast for the summer...heheh...but you know how exams and homework are.

Please R&R! Suggestions are welcome, but no flames (constructive criticism is alright though).
