Dear Someone,
Another short story.. This is from *Jason's perspective* sooo sorry if me writing from guy perspective sucks. I don't do that very much so. Kinda new for me. . . (Also I put that in bold so people would know it was Jason's perspective so they didn't think it was Stella... cause that could be a little awkward..just letting y'all know) Tell me what you think about it ok? Awesome(: Well... Enjoy :D
We both walked out to my car. Stella walking next to me. Our shadows stretched out across the speckled gray cement. The parking lot was half empty, most of the cars already done. We got to my car. A big black car. It use to be my mom's until she got a new car. So I got this one. It's pretty nice and spacious on the inside, I don't feel like I'm driving a clown car.
I pressed the unlock button and walked to the drivers side. I pulled the handle and the door swung open. I slipped my back pack straps off my shoulders and threw my backpack into the back seat. I slid into the fabric covered seat and looked over. Stella had thrown her navy blue backpack into the back seat with mine. Then she tried to step into the car. It looked to me as if she missed the little step to get into the car and ended up just falling onto the seat. Her wavy brown hair falling in front of her face. I laughed, she looked up at me from behind the curtain of hair covering her heart shaped face.
"Oh... hey that was awkward."
She smiled embarrassed to herself then got in the car correctly this time. The door shut behind her. She went to pull her phone out of her back pocket. When she dropped it onto her lap but it slipped off her jeans and onto the floor. She leaned over to pick it up and hit her head on the glove compartment.
"Ow..."
She put her hand up to her forehead, scrunching up her small button nose and placed her phone neatly onto her lap making sure it didn't slip again.
I couldn't help but keep my eyes off her. She was so interesting to watch, the little faces she made. Like when you say something slightly inappropriate she tries to think its not funny but a trying-to-hold-back-the-laughter smile comes to her lips, or the way her cheeks blush when she keeps stumbling over her words. Just the fact that she smiles at the little things. Like when a song comes on that she likes, or when you say the smallest little thing that would mean absolutely nothing to everyone else even though its kind of important to you. Stella gets that stuff. Looks at the small things and sees it's beauty in it.
I turned the keys, the car came to life. I rolled the windows down to get some air into the car, but it was gonna just stay at the same heat until we started to drive.
She pushed her brown wavy hair behind her ears, letting it fall around her shoulders. She glanced over at me.
"What?"
She asked, one of her eye brows up in curiosity, giving me that "Stella Look". Her dark blue eyes met mine. I felt like I was drowning in her sea colored eyes. Unable/unwilling to look away. I did anyway by looking down at my steering wheel then back at her.
"Oh Stella, Stella, Stella." I said, laughter in my voice.
"Oh Jason, Jason, Jason." She copied the way I said it, getting tongue tied towards the end. She stopped then gave her "awkward" Stella smile. I knew she was thinking something like Oh that was a fail... Oh well I'll just sit here and look cute. Or maybe she wasn't. Then she leaned over, setting her elbow on the arm rest, getting closer to me. I smiled.
It would be so easy for me to just lean over and kiss her. I wanted to. really bad for some reason. Something stopped me though. Maybe it was the fact that I didn't know what she thinks of me. Ok, I know she's ok with me, obviously considering she is in my car with me right now hanging out with me. But, like me the way I like her. How would she react if I did that if i just leaned over and POW kissed her, right on the lips? Would she be ok with it... or not?
I looked at her hand that was placed under her chin. My eyes followed her ivory colored arm down to her elbow that was on the armrest. I stopped there.
Thinking of all that. I attempted to throw that kissing idea out of my head. It lasted for oh... a second. It came back the second I looked at her raspberry colored lips.
I backed out of my parking spot looking in the rear view mirror making sure it was all clear. Then i slowly rolled the car out of the parking lot. I made sure to go kinda slow just in case. I didn't want to accidentally run over one of my classmates. How awful would that be?
Once we hit the street and got past at lest 20mph the wind came in through the windows, instantly cooling things off.
"Would you like to listen to some musica?"
"Sí!" Stella smiled back, happy that she could use the one Spanish word she knows.
I pressed the power button onto the stereo. At first there was no sound coming out, then in a second the music BLASTED out of the speakers.
"Whoa!" I quickly turned the volume all the way down.
Stella looked at me with huge eyes, "Ahh..." She said quietly, "That was scary."
I laughed, "Again. Stella. You're so jumpy."
"Well YEAH! That was just like. BLEH!"
She threw her hands into the air showing a throwing action of some sort.
"Yes it was. Now lets fix that."
I turned the volume up. The song playing I didn't like too much. I started to skip through the songs that where on the CD Play list. I was probably going too fast, i could barely tell what song was what.
"WAIT!"
I took my hand off the next button.
"I love that song!" She reached over excitedly and pressed the previous button.
I listened, it took me a second to understand the cord to get it. Yellow by Coldplay. I was surprised that she knew what it was by just hearing split second of the song.
"I like this song too. It's one of my all time favorites."
"Me too!" She shrieked.
We didn't say anything, just listened to the music. Stella started to sing along with the lyrics. She wasn't about to be the next Justin Bieber (yes, 'cause Justin Bieber sounds like a girl. Yet he's extremely popular. Why? I don't know. I think these girls that are obsessed with him are crazy.) But I loved her voice. It was, sweet, very Stella-ish.
I took my eyes off the road for a moment to steal a glance at her. Stella's brown hair going all over, hitting her in the face as if it was trying to smother her. She put her hands up, grabbing all her hair trying to keep it back. She then looked over at me. Catching me looking at her, a faint easy going smile came to her lips.
"What?"
"Nothing. Just your hair is going crazy!"
"Yes. I realised that. Psh, stupid hair." she dropped her hands, letting her hair free again.
She leaned back, placing her head on the head rest looking out the window. The sun streaming in on her, making her skin look so touchable. Her mouth moving to the words of the song. She looked just so beautiful sitting there and not even trying.
Yeah. I felt my self falling for her. There was no way to deny it.
