My Fragile Heart | [slow updates]

Chapter 1

       He made my heart beat so fast that I wondered if he could hear it.

        His hair was as dark as night. He had tanned skin and his jawline is sharper than any of the knives in my kitchen. Since he works out a lot at the gym, he was so well-built.

       Good Lord in heaven, my life was so over.

Why, you ask?

        Because despite his really good looks, he played with girls as if they were toys but deep inside him, I know that he's a really good person.

       I guess my face wasn't looking as horror-stricken as I felt, seeing as he went on in a chirping tone, "You're welcome."

       "Ummmm.." I muttered absently, looking up at him shyly. I felt a little tense and started sweating a bit.

       Seriously, what the hell was wrong with me? I'm not usually one to go all dumb.

       I saw Daniel and I couldn't come up with anything more intellectual to say to him. As if I wasn't feeling stupid enough.

       "For helping you remember?" he provided at my cluelessness, looking at me in this very weird way - probably thinking I was mad or something.

        "Oh right, thanks!" I said, smacking myself roughly. I gave him a sheepish smile, looking around for some way to get out of this conversation.

        "For an adorable girl like you - any time," Daniel said, bowing mockingly.

          I let out a deep breath and a hint of a smile playing on my lips. "Awww, thank you." I say, Daniel's words sounding like music to my ears.

       He just raised his eyebrow at me like he didn't understand my facial expressions. What made it hard to buy was the fact that there was a small smirk playing on his lips.

        "Forget it," I said with a grunt, waving my hand in dismissal. I didn't want to cause a scene in the middle of the road and I especially didn't want to blow things out of proportion.

        Adding to that fact, I was still trying to find a way out and my mind was coming up with completely nothing. I seriously couldn't believe my brain was out of anything to say when I desperately wanted it to work. I usually had too much to say. I couldn't go two seconds without talking. I met Daniel Sparks and my mind was blank, ziltch, nada, nil, nothing.

       If it wasn't for Aunt Nona's hell of a cat, I wouldn't have been in this mess in the first place. That struck me with an idea.

        "By any chance, you didn't see a cat run past, did you?" I asked him.

        I figured I might as well ask him since I wanted an escape anyway. Plus he'd gone completely missing by the time Daniel had pulled me up. I'd have to look for him anyway.

       "Cat? No," he said, shaking his head and looking around.

          "Now where did that stupid cat go to?" I mumbled to myself, looking around for any sign of Saber. Great! I'd just lost my cat. Aunt Nona was so going to kill me when she learned of this. That woman took her love for her cat more seriously than I did and that was saying something.

Dear God, please help me!

       "Excuse me, did you just call me an idiot?" Daniel asked, his eyes narrowing dangerously in a sexy way.

         I gulped and said, "No Daniel! I called my cat stupid."

Okay, it was more like I cried, throwing my hands up in frustration and all.
