Away from the city

Chance encounter

My alarm clock went off at five am with a loud beep. I'm not much of a morning person so I take this little time to reflect on how I got this far in life, yes I know that's dramatic of me. After giving my bed a sad goodbye, I got up to take a shower. I happened to get the shower at the right temperature and I'm proud of myself for that. The shower was simply amazing, I washed my hair with my coconut shampoo and conditioner. I matched that with my coconut body wash and lotion.

After drying off I walked into my closet trying to decide what I should wear. After trying on a few outfits I decided that I'm going to wear a gray hoodie, skinny jeans that hugged my curves gracefully, and put on some black converse. I tend to hide my hour glass shape in baggy clothes,. I have dark brown hair that's almost black, my eyes almost resemble a shade that looked like honey, I'm also pretty tall for a girl measuring 5'9. I've always been scared of getting attention from a guy, the most attention I've ever gotten was a kiss at a birthday party that we played spin the bottle at when we were 11. I decided that I'd give my hair some small waves. I applied a small amount of red lipstain to at least make it look like I gave some kind of effort to my looks. I gave myself a once over and decided that I looked pretty good for looking relaxed.

I grabbed my backpack and jogged downstairs where I greeted an overly excited mom. "I see your night went well." I grinned while grabbing an apple and the car keys. The blush on my mom's face indeed confirm that she and dad had a great night. "Honey, grandma and I are going to San Francisco for an appointment we won't be back until Wednesday please take care of your dad and brother!" Mom shouted at me. "Ok mom you can count on me." I hollered back as I was walking out the door.

The drive to school was busy with people going to work, school, or even for early morning surfing. Even though my mom's Toyota camry was nice it wouldn't beat some of these high end cars. I'm not much of a flashy person but this made me even more nervous thinking about what others would say about me. Thankfully parking at the campus of the community College was easy for me, there were a lot of people here. I arrived here with 30 minutes to spare, hoping that I'd be able to find my first class for the day, biology.

Lost in thought with my headphones in listening to a true crime podcast, and munching on my Apple, I failed to see the guy in front of me. I bumped into him which caused me to stumble back and fall flat on my behind. I wasn't expecting what happened next, "I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going." I said shyly. I looked up to find the most perfect guy looking right at me with a hint of curiosity, I think, looking down at me. My words got caught in my throat as this 6'5 delicious God like creature looked at me. He had mossy green eyes that I know if given the chance I'd get lost in, his hair was a light brown color that was styled messy barely reaching his eyes, his skin was kissed by the sun, which made him look like an absolute snack. What had me hooked with the lip piercing he had on his plump lip, and the tattoos that hung out from his shirt that highlighted every muscle that he had. He wore some black pants that had some holes in it, he also had some chains attached to his belt loop that I assumed would be holding onto his wallet. His cologne smelled like blended herbs maybe even cedarwood? Nothing has ever prepared me for this moment right here, I know it's not love at first sight, but my body suddenly wanted to feel his touch.

I guess I should start off by saying I've never really been attracted to anyone I've went to school with, partially because they bullied me. I've always been too wrapped up in school to even want to come out of my shell after sixth grade. That was a blessing and a curse because I think I would've at least not been so turned on by a stranger I just bumped into, I can't help but mentally eye roll at myself. Oh how I wish I would've taken my mom's advice in high school.

"You're new here aren't you?" He asked with a smirk that made my heart speed up. "Um, yeah, that obvious huh?" I couldn't help but blush. 'What's wrong with me, I'm over here acting like I'm meeting someone for the first time ever.' I mentally groaned. He knelt down to get to my eye level and softly grabbed my chin. "No it's not that obvious, I just would've noticed someone as beautiful as you. I'm Raymon by the way." his gaze held such intensity that I had to look away, and if I thought that was the worst of it, boy was I wrong. I turned from a light shade of pink to red, almost like a tomato. "I'm Alex, I'm really sorry for bumping into you, I'm a bit clumsy." I laughed awkwardly. Raymon stood up and offered me his hand which I gladly took. "There's nothing to be sorry about you're the highlight of this day." He said as he tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "I'll catch you later Alex." raymon walked away as if he didn't just make my panties wet with excitement.

I was too wrapped up thinking about my encounter with Adonis that I was almost late for class. I had to ask a few people for directions, but I got here and in a seat right before the professor got there. Which was excellent timing because Ms. Ramirez has a no tardy policy that would hurt me. The whole 45 minute class was torture, I wanted to run to the bathroom to release some tension that was built up just from that five minute encounter.

Raymon wasn't the type of guy I'd want to go out with, I always pictured myself with a nerdy guy who likes all the same stuff as me. Then again, I've also never really pictured myself with any guy because I get caught up in school work. I've never been the type to want to rub one out, it makes me feel like I've just did the worst thing ever, sometimes I feel like everyone around me knows that I did it. I really hope I run into him again, I want to engrave him into my memory.

The next four of my classes went uneventful to say the least. These classes consisted of going over what was expected of us and boring rules. Usually I pay attention to these things but today my head was officially in the clouds for the first time. 'What am I going to do?' I thought to myself as I rubbed my hands over my face.
