Chapter 3- A New Feeling
(Chase's POV)
When I first saw her walking off the boat, I felt like my heart stopped for a moment. It was really weird, but she kind of looked like an angel to me. Crap. I was becoming a total sap… but I didn't care. Her long, auburn hair looked as if it was dancing in the gentle breeze, and my first thought was, 'She is so gorgeous...' Then I saw her slip and I ran as fast as possible to catch her. I almost didn't. With one hand, I held her arm, and the other was wrapped around her waist. I held her for a moment and steadied her. She looked up at me with a bewildered, but still kind of gentle expression. Her eyes were like emeralds… so beautiful and mesmerizing. I suddenly got nervous. Before I could stop myself, I said something rude. As usual.
"Be careful. You could have cracked your head open, stupid." I scowled, but it was not directed at her. It was directed at myself. NOT what I had meant to say. Then I realized I still held her arm and waist and I jerked my hands away from her, embarrassed. I'm sure I blushed a bit. It all went down from there though, ending with me calling her 'miss sassy'. CRAP. I am not so good at making good first impressions.
I had headed home at stayed there for a while at first. I sat on my bed thinking about the whole conversation over again. Man I had been such an a**. And she had just gotten here! "Ugh." I grunted. I had also been so distracted by the sound of her voice- it may sound really sappy, but I swear it was like a million beautiful bells, twinkly and beautiful, even when she was talking angrily and sassily. I suddenly felt the urge to hear her talk again.
So, in a way, her coming to my workplace was a real stroke of luck...maybe. I had heard the bell ring as the door opened, and when I turned, there she was. Her radiance and happiness seemed to light up the whole room. My eyes widened a little when I saw her, but when I saw her staring back, they involuntarily went into a quick glare instead. I quickly turned around. I was blushing like crazy. Crap. I never blushed. I almost never showed any emotion. I took pride in it actually. Me? Blushing? Totally out of the question. I hoped she hadn't noticed- talk about embarrassing. But then I saw Kathy, my co-worker/"friend" staring at me with a smirk plastered onto her face. She saw it. She would definitely interrogate me about it later. I have to say, she had this amazing habit of always being able to annoy the crap out of me.
Coryn had left a LONG time ago, and now it was almost midnight, the end of my shift. So, I finished cooking and put away then leftovers, also taking some for myself. I also cleaned quickly, desperately trying to avoid Kathy at all costs. Once I didn't see her in the room/ near the door, I sneakily tried to creep out.
"Hold up a second!" Kathy said, hurriedly running over to block the door with her whole body. "I want to have a little chat with you before you go, if you don't mind." She said. I could tell she would mind if I said no, so I begrudgingly sat down at a table, grunting incessantly. Kathy sat across from me.
"Whattya want, Kathy?" I asked, even though I already knew.
"So what do you think of the new Coryn chick?" Kathy asked.
"What exactly do you mean?" I asked, innocently.
Kathy got right to the point. "Do you like her? Think she's pretty? Wanna date her?" she asked excitedly. She LOVED drama and gossip. I could feel my face getting red.
"Of course not! No way! She's just some stinky farm girl!" I said, acting disgusted. Kathy smiled. She knew I was lying, of course.
"You should invite to go somewhere. Take her somewhere she hasn't been yet since she got here." She suggested.
"I can't do that!" I almost yelled.
"And why not? Are you afraid or something?"Kathy asked angrily.
"Because she probably already thinks I'm an ass. I was so mean to her when we first met." I responded sadly.
"Well, then go apologize and show her the real you! If you don't get a move on, some other guy could get hooked by her. She is very pretty, you know. I bet guys like Owen, and especially Luke, are already fawning over her." She said.
I frowned deeply and thought for a moment. I thought about that airhead Luke getting to have Coryn to himself, or that overly perfect muscular Owen getting her. No way in hell was that ever gonna happen. I wouldn't allow it.
'Fine, I'll ask her." I complied. But I wasn't sure I could keep that promise.
END OF CHAPTER THREE! YAYYYY! HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT. I'LL BE PUTTING UP THE NEXT CHAPTER SOON! THANKS! ~ShermanTheWorm~
