Chapter 4 - Chance Meeting

Vincent made his way through the bushes and trees, until he came upon a pond, and in it was a girl and her horse. Vincent heard her say, "Aww-GREAT! Thanks for nothing! You useless mammal!" he chuckled at her out burst as he soon approached her.

"Need a hand?" he said, offering his hand to the still sitting girl. "How about a foot? To help me kick this stupid horses butt!" she replied, taking the ebony haired man's hand, and he pulled her up.

While the mystery girl was wringing her hair out, Vincent took the time to observe her-she was short, fair-skinned, brown/black hair that was cut short…too bad he couldn't see her face, which was still tilted downward. "Thanks for your help mister-" she lifted her head up to meet Vincent's gaze.

The scarlet eyed man felt his heart skip a beat as he looked upon her beautiful face. She had round, soft-looking cheeks that were shaded an attractive shade of pink. She had full, pouty pink lips, that looked oh-so kissable. What really caught Vincent's breath-were her eyes… Those stormy-grey orbs glimmered in the sunlight, they portrayed so much innocence and so much raw emotion that Vincent couldn't tear his eyes away. He felt as though he could drown in those pools of silver… she was so beautiful.

He didn't know how long he was staring, but the girl's voice brought him from his train of thoughts. "Umm…sorry you had to…see that." she mumbled, shifting her gaze away, the blush on her cheeks becoming more prominent. Vincent chuckled, "No need to apologize…" he said gently as he helped her onto dry land.

"What brings you to these parts of the forest?" he asked, he's never seen her around before…actually, he's never seen anyone before….

"I wanted some fresh air, being in a kingdom all day gets pretty boring" she said cheerfully, placing her arms behind her head. Vincent felt himself smile warmly.

They talked for the rest of the time, and as time passed…Vincent grew more attracted to her…guess you would call this love at first sight, huh? They were sitting together against a large elm tree near a cliff, where it had an excellent view of the kingdom of Midgar. The girl had her head against Vincent's shoulder, while he had an arm draped around her narrow shoulders. Both sat there contently with one another as they admired the view together. She shifted closer to Vincent, snuggling against his broad chest and tucking her head under his chin, sighing contently. Vincent laid his cheek on her warm head, making sure his hair didn't obscure her vision.

After a long, peaceful silence, the girl spoke "Y'know… I never asked for your name…" she said, tilting her head up to look at the black haired man. "My name? It's-" Vincent suddenly stood up quickly, remembering that he had to return to the cottage. "Wait! Where are you going!" the girl called, standing up as well and running after him. "I'm sorry! I have to go." he said, even though he had no desire to leave. "When can I see you again?" she asked, grabbing Vincent's hand, stopping him in his tracks.

Vincent turned to face her, his ruby eyes softening as he looked into her slivery eyes. Reaching up, he caressed her round cheek gently, "This evening…" he said, his monotone voice held and endearing tone to it. The girl blushed once more at this act of affection, "Where?" she asked, not taking her eyes away from his handsome face. "At the cottage, in the glen…" and with those words, he parted.
