FALLING AROUND YOU ➵ DANIEL SEAVEY ➵ SEQUEL

09 ➵ Unfinished Heart

I shoved a small smile suddenly thinking about the Seavey boy once more. I've been so good at keeping him away from my thoughts during my time with Charlie, but when I thought of my writing, I thought of him. I guess Daniel was just my muse— he was one the that gave me such inspiration.

"Maybe, you just need to find that motivation somewhere else." Charlie grabbed my hand intertwining our fingertips together making me grin.

It wasn't his flirty grins or the sly smile he uses, but a genuine grin. My eyes were pierced on his smile— the beautiful smile that I haven't really seen before. This one was different; it wasn't flirty or bold, but it felt genuine and real. I felt my soul smile through my heart, and my heart was smiling through my eyes.

"I forgot to tell you look really nice today, I mean you look really pretty. I mean, beautiful!" he slurred, "Damn it, I can't speak." his cheeks burned lucidly through the pale night.

"Are you blushing?" my voice was full of delight.

"No," he denied clearing his throat.

"I really got the flirty and bold Charlie Gray to blush," I smiled in amusement, "I could be proud of myself."

I found myself looking back into the large screen, but his apparent stares were still burning my side. I tried to hide the upcoming smile dancing on my lips, but it was too hard as I looked down to hide my expression.

"Staring is very polite," I spoke softly looking back at the Gray boy.

"I can't help it." he winked causing me to roll my eyes once again. Slowly, I noticed his glances aim towards my eyes and to my lips. My heart skipped faster unsure of the next move. I mimicked his actions feeling my body warm up under his stare.

"Sienna," his voice raddled.

"Charlie?"

"I can't stop thinking about you."

Soon, I felt his breathe lip my eyelashes as his face was so close to mine. It was like my own actions weren't mine anymore. I found myself pulling closer towards him as my vision was still reaching from his lips to his eyes. He could tell I was hesitant, so he waited.

His eyes weren't the harsh blues I remembered from Daniel, but more of a soft brown; the more I thought about it, the more I missed those baby blues, but then I realized, Daniel wasn't mine to cherish anymore. I kept on trying to heal myself in the place where I go hurt. I closed my eyes. Sometimes, you have to pull out some weeds for new flowers to grow, and now, Daniel was the toughest bunch to get rid of.

I was going to kiss Charlie.

As I was about to close the gap between us, I felt my phone vibrant from my pocket. I backed away quickly as I realized I was holding my breathe for so long. I didn't even look at my phone before giving Charlie a sad smile and heading out of the car to take the call. I ended up at the food area near the entrance of the drive-in theater.

I didn't even realize my heart was still pumping after the almost kiss that happened between Charlie and I. My chest had risen in continuous patterns as I thought of how stupid it was to try and kiss him so soon. Charlie and I haven't even know each other very long, and this is what's happening? Pulling out my phone, I realized I had gotten two miss calls from the infamous Christina.

"Hey, why'd you call? I told you I was going to see a movie with Charlie. Is everything alright?" I called her back seating myself near the drink dispensers.

"Please don't hate me when I tell you this."

"C, there's nothing you can do that'll make me hate y—"I was cut off.
