I hated walking home in rush hour traffic. Endless
streams of cars honking and people whizzing past me way too fast for
comfort. I stopped at a red light along with a clump of people and I
sighed, wanting to just get home so I could kick off my boots and curl
into bed with the latest crossword puzzles. And then suddenly something
caught my eye. A face, one which stood out in the crowd. A girl. I froze
and looked at her. She was… beautiful. Not in a conventional way, she
had a high forehead and a substantial nose but there was something about
her that made it impossible to avert my gaze from her. Her hair was
long and a golden pale yellow that framed her face and fell in ringlets
down her shoulders before coming to rest on her chest, bracketing the band logo on her shirt. Suddenly,
as if sensing me staring, she turned her head and looked directly at me
and I felt my entire body flash hot and my face blushed, burning, as our
eyes met. Hers were light greenish blue with a darker circle around the
iris and her lashes were black and slightly curved. She smiled and
tossed her hair, the light catching it and sending glints of copper
along the strands. She held my gaze.
Enthralled I moved closer and as I did so she moved towards me as well. My heart was pounding, loud in my ears and hard against my chest as I neared her. As her smile widened she wrinkled her nose and showed a neat row of small teeth and I noticed that she had a small birthmark on her right cheek, like a fleck of dirt on the otherwise so light and fair skin. She was so beautiful. We were now standing close, our toes almost touching, and she leaned forward until our faces were only inches apart.
“My”, she said. “You’re a pretty little thing, aren’t you?”
I blushed even harder and stuttered something unintelligible. She cocked her head to one side and winked at me, obviously pleased with my flustered appearance.
“What’s your name?” I asked, too dumbstruck to think of anything else to say.
“You”, she answered.
“Me, what?” I said, feeling like a moron.
She tossed her head back and laughed.
“My name is You”, she said. “Y-O-U”. She winked again and coquettishly bit her lower lip. “Kiss me”.
She moved closer still and I felt myself leaning in towards her, almost as if someone was pushing me from behind. Our bodies pressed together and a low moan escaped me.
“You’re so beautiful”, I gasped and her face fogged over. I closed my eyes and my lips parted slightly and met the cold glass of the mirror.
