~Chapter Seven~
“I’ll see you tomorrow, Ms. Mary!” I called to the little old lady as she waved goodbye to me from behind the counter.
The air hit me hard as I stepped outside, the sky was dark and light flurries were swirling around my body like a small, white tornado. I hugged myself, a smile stuck on my face.
It was late, I had spent the majority of the day in the bookstore with the company of David. We had sat in our chairs, discussing different books. After a while, he got up and fixed us two cups of coffee and stuck a peppermint stick in mine.
I turned to the left to head back to my house when I hit a patch of ice in front of the large bay window of the bookshop and landed straight on my butt.
I sat dazed on the sidewalk, my legs sprawled out in front of me, as the jingle from the bell on the door of the bookshop jangled.
“Ohmygod, Della! Are you all right?” I heard David’s voice from behind me.
I turned up to look at him, his face a mixture of concern and laughter. My face was frozen in shock.
“Oh God, okay, let’s get you up.” He reached down to me. I could tell he was holding back laughter. Once I was on my feet once again, I started to realize what had just happened and, yet again, could feel the color rising to my face.
It was really starting to annoy me how often I blushed around David.
He pulled me up, his bare hand in my mittened one, so I was standing, my face next to his.
Our faces were close, too close. I could feel his breath against my cheeks. I lifted my eyes from the patch of ice I stood on to his emerald green eyes. Slowly, his eyes traveled down my face, resting on my lips.
Unconsciously, I parted my lips as my eyes started to go out of focus. I started to drift away from the real world and into a world where only David and his bright green eyes existed.
But instead of feeling his lips brush against mine, I felt myself slipping. I lost my footing and was sliding on the ice patch. I tightened my grip on David’s arm to try to stabilize myself.
Instead of doing the same, he wrapped me up in his arms, my whole body engulfed in his.
I could feel his heart beating through our clothes, my arms pressed up against his chest. He pulled away slowly, his hand tightly gripping mine, and led me to a safe spot on the sidewalk.
“Thanks,” I said, looking down, blushing brightly.
“Will I see you tomorrow?” he said, his hand still holding mine.
I nodded, smiling, unable to produce any words as I looked down at our hands intertwined.
Innocence. That was the only word I could use to describe it. His gentle hand in mine to keep me safe. He cared enough to try to keep me out of harm’s way. He cared enough to put his hand in mine.
To him, it probably meant nothing.
But to me, it meant everything.


Yeah, that's all..
Let me know if you want to be on the Notify List(:
