Chapter Two: Old Acquaintances Russell's POV

I don't know what I was thinking as I walked through that door. My sources had told me that Rose-Leigh had been coming here almost daily. I was at a park, it was quite trashy really. It looked to be a place people didn't like to use, and was only turned into a park because it couldn't be built on because of the flood risk.

I sat on one of the seats that looked least likely to break or splinter, and waited for her to come. I began to remember how she'd looked the day we met, her perfectly wavy chocolate brown hair falling around her shoulders, she'd had an oval face that made her look mature, but a small button nose and pouted red lips that made her seem innocent. Her subtle moss coloured eyes were framed by long thick eyelashes, with the rest of her face paled to bring out the beauty in her eyes and mouth. She'd been wearing an evening gown which had been chosen in a shade of green to match her eyes, and in a shape that accented her body. She wore Cinderella styled shoes to give her what she was lacking in height. She looked as if she'd just been let out for the first time, innocent wonder seemed to be radiating from her.

When we met, she'd been doing one of her missions for Circle Day Break. I knew from the start that she wasn't a part of the Nightworld, she was too curious about everything. I waited a while to see what she wanted, but it seemed she only wanted to make connections.

I took her outside and confronted her during one of the parties we were both at. And told her that everything I'd figured out about her and that I was willing to go to the nearest Council member at the party and tell them as well.

She surprised me by pulling me into the shadows, kissing me and telling me that I wouldn't tell anyone, before she pushed me up against the side wall of the building and proved just why I wouldn't tell anyone.

I never saw her as innocent after that night, but in the absence on innocence I did see something new in her and it took me a while to figure out just what it was. I began to notice her inner beauty as well as her outer beauty; I began to fall in love with Rose-Leigh. Every time we met after that, we would find an excuse to escape the people and make love again. The last night I saw her I'd decided that I would tell her my feelings but I never managed to.

I at the time I had been with her that if I tried to discuss my feelings she'd probably laugh and tell me I was being a hopeless romantic, but after waiting for so long to see her again, I found myself yearning to see those lively green eyes smiling up at me again. So now I had found her again and I was going to tell her how I felt, because after three years of looking it hadn't weakened, my feelings for her had only grown with distance.

I pulled my self away from my thoughts and looked around the park for any sign of her, the park was empty except for a couple who seemed too involved in themselves to even realize I was there. Through my reminiscing the sun had lowered in the sky, and by looking at it I could estimate that it was around 4 pm.

I was about to get up and stretch my legs, when I saw a figure entering the park.

It was her.

I felt myself begin to get excited at the sight of her.

It really was Rose-Leigh.

I watched her walk into the park and choose a place to sit, she chose under a tree which had lots of shade and a view of almost all the park. Though she kept her face down and her body drawn inwards, she looked very graceful sitting there with her legs curled under her. I realized that she had pulled out a book and had begun reading, my impulse to interrupt her disappeared and I just studied her.

From what I could see of her she hadn't changed very much, she still had the same chocolate hair, though it had dulled and was no longer wavy. She was in a T-shirt and jeans, which did nothing for her figure, but I could still tell that her same body was there. I felt an itching in my hands to run them along the sides of her body.

The sea looks so lovely, maybe I could go down to it, it's a warm day.

I'd sent the suggestion to her before I'd even considered doing it.

I watched as she looked above her book towards the beach, tilted her head as if in thought, closed the book and put it back in her bag. She got up and began walking over to the stairs that led down to the beach, reaching them she sat on the top stair and took her shoes off, leaving them in a pile with her bag.

I took my chance then, while she was busy with her shoes, I got up and was a few paces behind her in an instant. I took a second to calm myself before I walked the few paces to the stairs, and sat down next to her.

"You know I thought of bringing you a rose, so that I could finally give you something."

She glanced quickly next to her and then around her, to check that I wasn't talking to anyone else, and looked at me again, studying my face and making eye contact for a second, before looking back down.

"I'm sorry; you must have me confused for someone else." She said hurriedly, as she quickly put her shoes back on.

"I doubt I could forget those eyes, even if I wanted to. They were the first thing I ever noticed about you, and they were the thing that drew me in." I replied tenderly.

I reached out to touch her face, and she flinched back before I could make contact. What was wrong?

"Rose, it's me, remember."

She looked at my face again, something flickered in her eyes, but it was gone too quickly so I couldn't identify it. She was beginning to look scared of me. "No…"

"I do, I remember those nights we were together, I remember how we met, and I also remember you disappearing. I'm Russell, we met three years ago, and I fell in love with you three years ago."

She looked up at me her mouth slighly open, she looked as if she was about to say something, but decided against it.

Instead she did the complete opposite of what I'd been expecting.

She ran.

ok if you liked this tell me. if you didnt tell me that too. if you have any criticisms thats even better.
