Thinking back she couldn’t remember the first time she saw him
As much as she tried, it wasn’t something she could place
She did remember the peach blocked hoodie he wore in place of an actual coat
A little big for a man of his stature is what she thought as it enveloped him in warmth as the cold winter air danced outside
He would wink at her and she made nothing of it
He would attempt to flirt with her and she would ignore it
He was as persistent as her ‘no’s’
He seriously asked if he could take her out
To which she giggled at the surprised reaction to those around him
It wasn’t expected
And still she didn’t answer
He went on to hold her against his body
Tight to his chest he asked someone what they thought of them together
He wanted affirmation of how nice he found them to be
But his question was returned with a blank expression
One that didn’t care to answer the question
And she laughed, not because of the question, but because of the stare
Did he notice anything different?
Was he in a bubble while he held her?
Did he avoid the thought that perhaps he shouldn’t have asked?
She didn’t know and didn’t ask
She simply noticed the reactions to his questions when it came to her
But she didn’t think about him
She didn’t know why he asked others and not her
She didn’t understand anything that he may have felt when he saw her
But she still tried to avoid him until one day she didn’t
She tried but that day he won
It was just the two of them and he was close to her
So close that she could feel his chest rise with each breath
She looked at him and he looked at her lips
He leaned in and she didn’t resist
As his lips enclosed over her’s they both pulled away
A reflex she didn’t expect from either one
It happened though
Marking something between the two that would stay forever
Because it was a beginning…
