True Love

A Story by Dee O

TRUE LOVE:

His face lingered above the painting, studying every stroke that was made. "He made it for her," he thought to himself as he looked up and saw the rambunctious girl deviously walking through the hallways. Vivican was not like other girls in his mind. She was brave, smart, sweet, outgoing, and quite the party person with the Christian crowd although she didn't look Christian at all. she had beautiful long burgundy hair, light hazel eyes only gods could look into, and the smile of a queen. He dreamed of her from the moment he saw her for the first time in Mrs. Orlerly's class. She had blond hair then but that didn't matter, he saw her spirit. While he was at the morgue with her grieving mother, all he hoped was she thought of him.

The paintbrush took flight as her mind raced with thoughts of worry. She hadn't seen Chris in 2 days. Her heart ached every moment she couldn't feel his glance. She heard his aunt died and was worried he wouldn't come back. She saw the artwork he did everyday in Mr.Rickler's class and only hoped she could work like that too. She looked to her left and saw him looking at her. Without realizing what she was doing she turned to look directly at him and accidentally painted her neighbors hand. "I am so sorry, here I'll go get you some paper towels." she stated as she walked toward the sink that was conveniently next to Chris. Walking over there, her nerves were on end. she fixed her hair and hoped he wouldn't notice the streak of blonde down the front she missed when dying her hair.

"Oh my she's coming this way" he thought as he tried to look better. Even if he was the top drama actor, assistant coach for the speech squad, and considered quite goth, he cared what she thought. he always thought she was into older men who had experience in life. He had one girlfriend back when he was a freshman but that didn't last because his heart belonged to Vivican. when she walked over, grabbed the paper towels, looked at him and started rambling on and on all he could do was chuckle. Her offense didn't make him happy though until he told her his true thoughts. "I've dreamed of you coming up and talking to me and when you did i didn't know how to reply.". The look on her face showed she was relieved.

He laughed when she was trying to tell him she was sorry about his aunts death if it happened. "I suppose my rambling on and on isn't doing anything for your nerves but it's really not doing anything for mind either, I mean i don't know if your aunt actually died or if it is a rumor but that seemed like the perfect thing to say to you while you were sitting here...whats so funny?". Hearing him say he dreamed of talking to her sent Vivican into shock and blacked out. Next thing she knew she saw his closed eyes and felt his hands on the small of her back. It felt so right and yet so odd from the location. "Well, I didn't think you liked me like this, oh the hell with it...kiss me again.." The kiss they shared was electric and made their relationship last so much longer in mind then in reality.
