Vivid blue's tangled in webs of gold that caressed her iris. I had never been so blinded to the outside world until i caught a glimpse of her eyes. Under no circumstances could she be considered a passerby, not with the way the world faded around her. I nearly tripped over myself spilling my coke all over the ground. I'm not sure if she noticed my clumsiness or not because she kept walking by as if she hadn't seen me. I couldn't help it and just leave her to her own business I had to meet her; I had to get to know this girl. So I turned around, I ditched my now empty cup and trailed behind her in meek awkwardness. I ran over thousands of topics, and excuses I could use to talk to her but they all sounded sub-par to be used on a goddess such as she. She rounded several corners in the mall and I tracked her every step. I couldn't tell if she was quickening her pace or if I was just slowing down to avoid looking like a stalker. My intentions were honest, and sincere. I just had to meet this girl. She turned sharply and disappeared around a corner. In my haste I may have ignored the responsible part of my mind telling me something about the movement seemed different from her others more panicked. 

I couldn't tell my feet not to move so I let them carry me all the way around the corner blindly.
It wasn't until I found myself face to face with her did I catch my mistake. My body froze and icicles formed around my fingertips, and in my chest, and legs. She stared directly into my soul as if flipping through the files that were my mind. She was reading everything about me from my emotion, to my past, and maybe even my future it was impossible to tell what she was looking at. All I knew was that she was looking right through me and in those several seconds everything I ever was or would be belonged to her. 

What happened next was surprising. She breathed a sigh of relief "Finally." 
She seemed calm and the edges of her mouth twisted into a small smile. Something now was concerning me and I couldn't quite place what it was. Maybe it was the fact that I had been following this girl and she now looked at me like she had been searching for me all day, or maybe it was the fact that seemingly everyone had disappeared from the surrounding area, or maybe it was the way the gold parted and faded from her eyes leaving nothing but a vibrant blue.. I tried to step back, and run but my legs were frozen in place and my feet were ignoring my commands. I stammered and tried to speak but before I could react to her she was caressing my head between her hands and pushing her lips against mine. I couldn't fight the feeling of intoxication that radiated off of her kiss so I gave in and kissed her back. I found myself wrapping my arms around her waste and pulling her closer to me as she dragged her hands down my back. The world was spinning before me and it felt to me like we were dancing still buried in each others arms. She pulled me out of the hallway and into a room; maybe even a storage closet but I couldn't be sure. Then she fell backwards taking me with her. I pushed my arms out the side to keep from falling on her and she leaned up to meet me with a separate kiss.

This one left me more drunk, and disoriented than the last and seemed to carry on longer. Every part of me wanted her, and I laid my body over her as she wrapped her arms around the back of my head gently grabbing my hair. We rolled leaving her on top of me still kissing, The dim lights left no clear view of her other than her hair which cascaded down to either side as she swept it out of the way in a flurry. My body felt numb at this point, and every ounce of energy I had was being thrown at her in a mess of hand movements and reckless kissing. I pulled her waist into me as she let out a small gasp. I couldn't tell who was guiding who anymore. Every time I thought she was in control she would wait for me to make a move and then guide me into the right place, maybe we were just in sync in such a way anyone viewing from the outside might think it was planned. She licked her lips as she leaned in once more. I was hungry for her, I wished to taste her in a way I had never wanted before, and maybe she felt the same because she bypassed my lips completely this time and buried her teeth deep into my shoulder. Before I blacked out from the pain I could have sworn I heard her whisper "Finally."
