When You Least Expect It

I though I'd start off posting a short fic I wrote back in November 2009. Just to whet your appetite *grin*

When You Least Expect It

It always seems to happen when you least expect it. You work so hard that you barely even notice most times. You spend day in and day out together, and time passes and that's okay. In fact, that's just fine by you. And then somewhere between grocery shopping and the dentist, after class and before that next meeting it happens.

She happens.

With her jeans hugging everything just right and a soft smile, she stands there just looking at you with those oh so blue eyes. And you forget to breathe for a minute. The next thing you know she's offering to drive you home and you're still back at the oh so blue eyes. And then she smiles and you smile, wondering what those full lips would taste like. The glint from the ring on your hand catches your eye and you realize that you can't, even though you'd really, really, like to. So you say no, making up an excuse while a part of you wonders, what if?

And then her smile fades and she looks a little sad around the eyes and you know that you did that. She nods her head and looks down before looking back up at you, then waves and wanders back inside where it's warm. And you let that breath out that you've been holding in for what seems like forever. She looks back over her shoulder and smiles one last time before closing the door behind her.

You never know when you'll see her again, you just know that you will. After all she always comes when you least expect it.

Temptation.
