Uncertain Yet

I was watching him from a distance. He was beautiful. His eyes looked as if they could pierce my very soul. His smile made my heart flutter. His movements were shockingly graceful for his size. He was very tall and very, very muscular. He was also star player on the football team, someone I didn't want to get involved with, but then wanted to. I've never seen someone to his equal. No one with the same angular face structure, the same manner in which he walked. He had a slight confidence too him, yet he was shy. Or so it seemed. He wasn't sitting with the cheerleaders or other members of the team. He wasn't sitting with the stoners. He wasn't sitting with anyone. He was sitting at the other side of the cafeteria, at my table. I looked to the right at my friend Daniel. He was staring at the same thing I was. From behind I could hear Courtney, aka head skank around here, and gasped at the same thing that had made me stop in my tracks for at least five minutes. Damien came up behind me and pushed me toward our table. "Come on honey this is your chance. We've all seen you stare at him from a distance. This is a miracle and they only happen once a life time." I side stepped making him trip. "Am I that obvious?" I asked finally finding my voice. Both he and Daniel nodded. "Sorry Kathy." Damien said as he pushed me onward. I side stepped again and punched him. "Don't you ever call me Kathy again! I don't care how much like your girlfriend I look. Cut it the hell out." I said trying to find a way out of sitting with him. "Sorry Danni." He said as he rubbed his arm. I couldn't ignore the inevitable. I had to go sit next to him. I took a step forward and started to fall on my face. I felt a strong arm wrap around my waist and save me from making a complete idiot of myself. The person righted me. I turned around to thank him or her for saving me from humiliation. I had to look up. I mean I'm short, five-foot-2-inches short, but next to him I looked as if I was three feet. I looked into his eyes, those same piercing blue eyes I was staring at just moments earlier when he was across the room. My own hazel eyes widened. "How did you get here so fast?" I asked still shocked. He flashed me a smile and ran his fingers through his dark brown hair. "I was walking up to you already and saw you were about to fall so I ran. Remember star football player." He said as I just stared. Damien coughed. I looked over at him and he was walking to our table. "Oh, uhm thanks for saving me James." He shrugged his shoulders and I started to walk to my table with him right at my heels. I looked at Damien and he was smiling. I shook my head. "Here you go." James said as he pulled my chair out. "Uhm…thanks." I said sheepishly. He sat right next to me. I put my arm around my stomach to keep from accidentally making physical contact with him. I looked at my food and didn't take my eyes off of it. Daniel coughed and Damien elbowed my side. I looked at him with hate in my eyes. "So...James, why did you wanna sit over here and bask in the beauty of Daniela here?" James shrugged his shoulders and replied. "Beautiful as she may be. I came here to ask for her help." I just stared at him like a complete moron. "What do you need her help for?" Damien asked the same question that was running through my head. James looked from Damien to me and held my gaze while he answered. "Top secret stuff." James said in a lowered voice. I continued to look at him until I found my voice. "Well...when do you wanna talk over this "top secret stuff"?" I said. He looked at me like I was the only person in there. "Tonight. I'll pick you up." He got up and left before I could say no. Daniel stifled a laugh and Damien was already going through my entire wardrobe to figure out the perfect outfit for tonight. I just stared at James’s tall, muscular figure walking away. Damien snapped me out of my trance like state. "Girl I'm sooo coming home with you today. I'm fixing you up like oh my God gorgeous!" I shook my head. "Are you sure you're straight?" Daniel laughed and I smirked. Damien looked at me and replied calmly "Honey you of all people know I'm straight, but if people wanna think I'm gay I let them think it...I'm just very metro." I rolled my eyes. Metro was his word for gay playing straight. We hooked up once but it didn't mess up our friendship thank god. I wouldn't want Daniel to have to pick between us. "So James asked you out…Oooh girl you are gonna get some tonight." I slapped him. "Shut up please."
