Have you ever looked at someone you didn't know and instantly become jealous of anyone they talked to? The moment I saw you, when you gave her a hug, I instantly hated her, although she was my best friend.
You saw this and pounced on it, "hello", you said.
That is when I realised I was falling into the dark abyss of your eyes.
You asked me if I was scared of you and I fell deeper; who could be afraid of this sweetheart?
I firmly believe that eyes are the windows to your soul, as cheesy, clichéd and horrible as that saying is. I looked through the window and I saw warmth, like a log fire in the dead of winter, with snow piled up three feet deep outside the door. I saw my bed after a long day of drama, tantrums, trauma and tears. I saw me getting in way too deep.
I should have been repulsed at your response when you asked me my name;
"Shelly, huh? No offense but that sounds like a prostitute's name. I have an idea, how about you be my prostitute?" And you gave me that look with the twinkle in your dark brown eyes.
I saw past your words though, you were trying to see if you could scare me, like the way you walked with a purpose, chest puffed out and back dead straight. You were trying to convince me you were as tough as your appearance; jacket with the sleeves torn off, shaved head, scraggy beard, broken teeth and a scar on your top lip.
I stood there marveling your paradox until my friend interjected; "Back off, she's my prostitute and you can't have her"
I knew what I felt was deeper than that, and when we kissed you shook, and when I pulled away you sighed, but didn't try to pull me back. I knew you were different to my other guys.
I knew I wanted this to carry on forever, I wanted nothing but to hold your hand and interlace our fingers in front of the world, causing every girl to be envious of what we had.
I knew then what it felt like to fall in love.

Ok, so I picked 19 as 27, my birthdate was gone, and 19 is the date of something else significant in my life, oddly enough the title is exactly what happened to me on the 19th.
I know there are some sensual images in this, I hope that's ok, but I'll change them if you want.

great take on the title prompt. I loved this, it kept me captivated throughout and I realized at the end my mouth was slightly hanging open
this is amazing. I loved every word, and I loved how you had little pieces of conversations within this. it made it so great.
in the first paragraph become should be became, I think haha.
goodluck and thanks for entering my contest -

I dunno... I think become is right, cos otherwise it'd be "have you ever became" if you leave out all the words in between.....

Aww this was so deeply beautiful
& touching. So many emotions just
pouring from within, and I can very
much relate, as I have been through
similar situation.
Loved this!!
Best of luck & thanks for entering

OK, I'm finished.
I this almost became a bit sensual.
And I know, I know, it's about himself again, but I hope it's totally different to the others.
