Chapter Three: When We Got To Know Each Other

...I walked to the park again, thinking of Xavier....

...I thought about our encounter — at the café....

..."Why do I always think about him?" I thought, what is this weird behavior?...

...I want to see him — but I doubt that it'll ever happen again....

...----------------...

...I reach the bench where I had first met him....

...I sit down and relax as I look up to gaze at the sky....

...I hope for him to appear but I know those chances are slim....

...The sky is clear and pretty — the clouds move slowly as they wave me goodbye....

...----------------...

...I close my eyes and again, my mind is filled with thoughts of Xavier....

...I think of his smile, his hair, his freckles and most importantly — his eyes....

...I don't understand why I always think of him, I could never do myself a favor....

...Yet I don't blame myself, Xavier is so kind to me — a person I simply cannot despise....

...----------------...

...I sigh as I open my eyes, "When will I ever see you?"...

...The breeze dances past me, refreshing but cold....

...My eyes close again and this time, my mind is blank too....

...I can hear the leaves rustling and the wind whistling — a sweet melody that can randomly unfold....

...----------------...

...All tension is soon lost — my relaxation is now evident....

...I fall asleep on the bench, my body as still as a statue....

...The minutes go by and now someone else is present....

...This someone sat beside me, placing my head on his shoulder and all he said was, "It's you."...

...----------------...

...Pressure became my ear's best friend as I woke up, stirring slightly....

...I see a pair of legs — which aren't mine....

...I know I should be startled but the aura embracing me was so lovely....

...I lift my head up and rub my eyes — I look to my left to see whose aura was so divine....

...----------------...

..."Xavier?" said I surprised, I was resting on his shoulder?...

..."Hey." he said with a smile. Looking me straight in the eyes as well....

...It's the third time we've met — this is real, not sympathy or closure....

...I smiled, gazing into his eyes again, "Mismatched beauty." I say, as if it were a secret I wasn't supposed to tell....

...----------------...

...Xavier looks at me astonished, I realize my words and I'm about to apologize....

..."That's — quite nice." He said, easing my worries. "Do my eyes fascinate you that much?"...

...I nod and smile at him, but now there's something I realize....

...I love his eyes — Xavier's eyes, "I've never seen eyes as such — gems."...

...----------------...

...Xavier blushes, clearly flustered, "People don't usually like to look at me," he said, "But you — ever since the day we met, you couldn't stop staring."...

...I'm embarrassed but I'm confident, "It's because your eyes are beautiful — they're an attraction." I replied, "A Hydrangea and a Blue Daisy, gems that I couldn't get you out of my mind."...

...Why would I say this? I barely know this guy, yet his smile makes me feel like we've been around each other for years without even knowing....

..."Thanks." Xavier utters, there's a hint of crimson across his freckled cheeks. Have words this sweet never been uttered to him before? If not — then I'm glad that it was me — the source of the sweet words he could find....

...----------------...

...Now, we're in the same position again — his eyes are locked onto mine....

...This time it wasn't an encounter but a meet up which was sublime....

...His eyes were glistening and glimmering — teal was the color they made....

...I'm in love with the situation I'm in, my feelings feel like a cascade....

...----------------...

...Just like the day we met, we're looking into each other's eyes....

...After the leaves danced, we started having a conversation, our ideas again — intertwine....

...His favorite color is violet and he loves the park and the sky....

...Our closeness is back again, my curiosity turning into incline....

...----------------...

...The sunset arrived again, ending our conversation on cue....

...This time we exchanged numbers because coincidence kept us longing....

...Xavier walked into the sunset — there's that lingering sense of déjà vu....

...Then I walked home, smiling. I have his number now when meeting him was all I was desiring....

...----------------...

...Today, I got to know Xavier and he got to know me....

...Again, I saw his delicate features and his mismatched beauty....

...We talked for hours on end, there's a spark which I hope he can see....

...And, I'm slowly falling in love — with Xavier, who is so lovely....

...----------------...

...Have I talked about him enough? I can't seem to get him out my head....

...I have never been so mesmerized — so fascinated by a guy who I just met....

...Did I mention we talked for hours? I can still remember all the things he said....

...Oh, how it was a shame we had to depart because of the sunset....

...----------------...

...Eyes as beautiful as flowers, eyes which sparkle like gems....

...Eyes I could stare at for hours, lips that smile with content....

...Hair so fluffy and soft, freckles that make you look cute....

...Your voice is a melody I love listening to, and I think I may be in love with you....

...----------------...

...Today was beautiful, Xavier is beautiful....

...I have a sheepish smile painted on my lips that I won't even bother to cover....

...There's a blush on my face and I'm happy — my day was great and thoughtful....

...This is spectacular! This feels immaculate! — who could've known that today would be when we got to know each other....
