A/N: I was going to try for two today but I don't know if that will still work out. In any case, here's one.

Enjoy!

Just A Look?

Max knew he was staring but he felt he couldn't help himself.

Tyson was blathering on about something from his left, but Max wasn't listening. He was too busy staring intently at, perhaps, the most gorgeous young woman to ever set foot on Earth.

He gazed awe-struck at the Saint Shields' only female member as she sat on the opposite side of the room talking with her teammates.

He watched her eyes light up with excitement as her lips peeled back into a grin, showing off two straight rows of perfectly white teeth. Still smiling, her mouth opened partly as wind chime laughter flitted its was to his ears. Her laughter doubled as her team joined in. She tossed her head back at just the right angle so that Max could make out tears of joy sparkling in the corners of her eyes as light passed through the crystallized drops.

It pleased him to see her so happy.

The laughter soon died away and as Mariam wiped the creases of her eyes dry, she turned. Be it chance or because she'd felt his gaze, her eyes met his. He could feel his cheeks heat up as she raised an eyebrow at him. He bowed his head in embarrassment but feeling as if he were the one now being watched, he looked up.

Mariam's lips twitched into a small smile.


A/N: I really like this one! Unfortunately, that means it could be a total and complete mess and I wouldn't notice. Thoughts?

Review?
