Here's the second chapter for this new story!
I will change the point of view in this chapter so pay attention!
Enjoy :)
Ross's POV
I started looking not only at her eyes, but examined her full form.
She was short, but not too short. Just tiny in the best way possible. Her hair was dark brown with the slightest hint of lighter brown color in the tips. It moved in the summer breeze and her big curls waved on her back. She wore a cute blue dress, with a high neckline that ended a little above her knee. On her feet, she had white wedges with a flower print and around her neck hang a golden necklace with a little heart charm.
Her eyes searched the building to see if there was any movement in the classes yet. But I also noticed the way her eyes nervously shifted to the street once every few seconds. I wondered if she was expecting someone to meet her.
I noticed I stared for quite a while, when I escaped from my trance by hearing the three loud bangs. The noise came from the big clock and he read that it was three o'clock exactly. That meant 15 more minutes until Austin would come out of the school doors.
That gave him 15 more minutes to look into those gorgeous eyes.
My eyes shifted to the spot where they had been for the past few minutes, to find them look right in his direction.
Laura's POV
What the hell is he looking at?
Was the first thing to think when I noticed that strange guy, standing against the school fence, looking my way rather often. I'd never seen him before, though I haven't been here quite that much. Jason was usually the one picking Ally up from school, because I worked almost every day.
I liked it here, actually. To be out, in the sun, to see Ally more. Now I hardly have a choice, having seen Jason's note on the kitchen table this morning.
Dear Laura,
I think you may have noticed the tension between us. So it shouldn't be a surprise to you as I say I can't take it anymore. The fights are getting worse and it's not good for my health. Because of this, I decided to take a few days off. I'll be going to the south coast for a few days to clear my mind. Don't contact me.
Jason
I couldn't believe he wrote that. ''It's not good for my health'', ''I can't take it anymore'' what a load of bullshit. While I worked all day, I also had to make sure dinner was ready every night, that Ally did all her homework and Jason had his bear at eight o'clock exactly.
And take a few days off? From WHAT exactly? Did he work? No. Did he take care of the house? No. He didn't do shit all day long and still he's the one needing a break?
Well if I was one thing, I was done. Done with him, done with relationships, done with men in general. That's exactly why I couldn't stand the blonde one staring at me like I was a freaking zoo animal.
That's why I decided to stare back. And not just stare, keep glaring at him with the most deadly look I could give him.
But that didn't scare him off. He just kept looking. But not in a creepy way. Okay maybe a little bit creepy, but mostly it looked like he was curious. I'd never seen anyone look that interested in me before. Feeling a little embarrassed, I looked away, to notice him walking my way.
Ross's POV
Okay, I couldn't get over how cute this girl was. As she kept staring at me, I couldn't keep my eyes off her. And as soon as I noticed her blush when she took her gaze off me, I noticed my legs moving and my body getting closer to her.
Apparently I'm gonna talk to her.
Once I was close enough to notice she had a vanilla kind of scent around her, and saw her eyes being even more beautiful up close, I knew I made the right decision.
She looked straight forward, absently eying the building but I noticed her observing me from the corners of her eyes. Then I said the first thing that came into my mind.
''I like your eyes!'' I blurted out. Shit shit shit shit, Ross what the actual fuck, really? Shitty shit.
I guess my experience with girls really paid of here.
She widened her big brown eyes when she shifted her gaze up to meet mine. Her mouth hang a little bit open, like she wanted to say something, but couldn't find the words to use in this awfully weird situation. Then it changed into a little smile.
Laura's POV
Okay he was pretty cute. When he walked towards her, she noticed he looked very nervous. He didn't look like quite the ladies' man, to be honest. This was not based on his appearance, because that was damn fine.
His hair was dirty blond, that got darker nearer to his hair-line. It swooped over his forehead to the left and looked cutely messy. He wore black Ray Ban sunglasses and his lips formed a shy smile. His dark blue dress shirt matched his dark blue converse. He had blue jeans on and wore a small guitar pick around his neck.
But an expert in flirting? Not so much.
''Thanks! I bet yours are nice too.'' She responded with a giggle. He looked confused until he realized he wore the dark sunglasses which covered his eyes. An awkward moment came when he seemed to debate with himself whether take the sunglasses of, while I kept eying him amusingly.
Eventually he brought his hand to the glasses to swipe them on the top of his head, which caused the hair on his forehead to be taken with. Now I saw his sweet looking brown eyes.
''I was right.'' I said to him while looking up to him. Now that they stood shoulder to shoulder, looking straight forward, she noticed how tall he was. She needed to raise her head quite a bit to look him in the eyes.
She saw him not looking her in the eyes, but his eyes aiming a little lower.
Great, we got a cleavage seeker.
''I like your necklace too.'' He said, still admiring it. His eyes got smaller, focusing on the inscription. How could one be so interested in a necklace?
''Oh, well thanks. Again.'' I laughed, remembering that I couldn't possible have cleavage in this neckline. But then I felt something touching the fabric covering it, and it was not the necklace. My eyes got big and I looked down, to discover him picking up the heat charm from my chest to bring it closer to his face.
Well, that's closer to second base anyone has been for the past few weeks.
''I got it from my boyfriend, Jason.'' I told him a little sadly, looking at the ground when remembering the note.
''Boyfriend? Right, I mean, yeah, I could've guessed that, of course. Why would someone like you…'' He began stuttering while rubbing the back of his neck. He almost looked ashamed. Then his eyes shifted to mine again and it seemed like he was seeing something. I took this opportunity to look back into his eyes and noticed how they kept looking so warm and friendly. Like I knew him for an ethernity.
''Something's not right, is it?'' He concluded, squeezing his eyes.
''What do you mean? I'm fine. Besides, why should I tell someone I don't even know, I mean you could be a weirdo.'' I start rambling, not really in charge of what comes out of my mouth.
I sigh, while looking at him once more, before I start talking.
''Okay, I'm not fine. The point is, we fight a lot and he left me for a few days, which may even become multiple days or forever who really knows. And the asshole left me a note saying how he can't take it and that he needs a break, while I'm the one working day and night and I just wanna see Ally and sleep and cry and not be responsible for anything just for once in my fucking life!''
Ross's POV
And that's when she started opening up to me, telling me everything that was bothering her. And it felt nice, being a person she felt so comfortable with that she'd share this with me.
''Woah, I guess you needed that. You feel better?'' I asked her carefully. She looked so broken and small and I really really wanted to put my arms around her to comfort her, telling her it's okay and that she deserves someone who isn't an asshole. After thinking a little bit about that I decided to take the risk and put one arm around her tiny shoulder.
I immediately felt her tensing up and I almost thought I ruined it, when she relaxed and lightly put her head against the side of my chest. She closed her eyes slightly and smiled.
''I can't believe I just told my relationship problems to a stranger.''
He never told her his name, he realized. ''Don't worry, you're secret's safe with me. My n-''
The bell that told them school was done, cut him off and in a few seconds kids were running all over the playground. He quickly removed his arm from her shoulder and awkwardly did one step away from her, not wanting to create any confusion. She looked up at him and smiled apologetically when she hugged the girl before her.
''How was school, sweetie?'' She asked the little girl, who looked like a younger copy of her mom.
''Fun, we had a music lesson!'' The girl answered happily, before looking at him curiously.
I was about to introduce myself, now to the girl and her mom, when I saw Austin struggling with his backpack on the stairs in front of the big school doors.
''I gotta go, I'll see… maybe I'll see you tomorrow.'' I tell both girls before walking to him.
''Hey little buddy, how are you?'' I asked while kneeling down in front of him.
''I can't close my bag. It has to be close or my homework will fall out!'' Austin said to me with wide eyes. His little fingers failed to close the zipper because of a little piece of fabric. Once I managed to close it, I glanced over my shoulder to look through the crowd of kids and parents. Though, the spot where once the two brown haired girls were, was now empty.
''C'mon little buddy, I got ingredients for making pizza for tonight! Are you up for that?''
''Pizza! Come dad, let's run home!'' And he sprinted away. I followed him with my hands in my pockets, replaying this afternoon in my head.
Awwww don't you love Ross as a dad?
