Forbidden Attraction:

"Your hair is so beautiful, why do you always keep it tied up?" She asked me.  I was sitting on the edge of the bed, straight-backed and stiff.  She was sitting behind me, having just untangled the loose bun at the nape of my neck.  

"Because it is such a hassle to care for," I replied.  She gently pulled her fingers through my waist length hair.

"Then why don't you cut it?" I felt as she slowly ran the brush through my hair, taking proper care around any tangles.

I loved it when my hair was being brushed and closed my eyes to let out a sigh of contentment.   I didn't have an answer for her.  As much as my hair annoyed me, it had taken so long to grow this long, and it seemed like a waste to cut it.  My hair grew really slow; it wasn't like I could donate it to Locks of Love and expect that it would grow back within a year or two.  It had taken nearly 10 years to grow.  I shrugged and there was a long moment of silence before she spoke.

"I like it a lot."

I first saw her at the local coffee shop, where I often went for inspiration.  I would order a large white chocolate latte and sit in a large comfy chair in the corner, by a window, with my laptop.  She was one of the regulars that I often observed.  Every morning she would order a vanilla latte and a chocolate chip muffin.  She always sat at the same table, in the opposite corner from me, and would pull out a laptop and a mound of textbooks.  We were both students at the state college.  I had seen her around the campus before; she studied law, while I studied English.  

We met one day in the college library.  I was doing research for a story that I was writing.  She was doing legal research for a mock trial in one of her legal studies courses.   "Is anyone sitting here?" She asked me, nodding to the three empty chairs at the table that I was using.  There were other tables that she could have chosen.  I looked around to discover that at least one person sat at each table and couldn't help but wonder why she decided to sit with me.  She was pretty and surely liked by many guys.  I shook my head in reply and figured that she either had a boyfriend or didn't want to get involved in a relationship at the moment.  She looked like the serious type.  

I found myself observing her that day.  To be honest, I based the main character in my story on her.  Her golden brown hair was styled into a chin-length bob with loose ringlet curls.  By body type, she seemed athletic; I had long since come to the conclusion that she probably owned a gym membership, and she always dressed in smart casual attire.   

She caught me watching her, then, and looked up from her book to smile at me; it was a bright, dazzling smile and I could now see that her eyes were a brilliant blue in color.  I nervously looked away and began to scribble some notes in the notebook for my story.  My heart was racing and I wondered what was wrong with me - I was taken by her, yet I was also a woman.  

"What are you thinking about?" I was brought back to the present by her whisper against my ear; it caused me to shiver.  She had stopped brushing my hair and was now leaning against my back with her arms wrapped around my shoulders.  The feeling of her curves pressed up against me made my heart flutter.

"Mmmm?" I moaned in my distraction.  She repeated herself with a soft chuckle.  "Oh, um… just about h…how we met."  I was still struggling to understand my feelings.  Sure, I had been with another girl before, but that was back when I was in middle school and my friends and I were experimenting; or so I thought.  I was told that being attracted to other girls, like me, was just a phase that I was going through.  I believed that because I had been in successful relationships with guys in high school.  I was attracted to guys, but was it possible that I could also be attracted to girls?  This confused me.

I barely felt her move around me to get up from the bed.  She was now standing in front of me and placed a hand under my chin to lift my face. I found that she was staring at me and averted my eyes, feeling self-conscious.  "You like me, don't you?" her soothing voice asked.

I jolted and shot my gaze back to her face.  "O…of course."

"As more than a friend?"

Blood rushed into my cheeks and I looked away.  My heart was pounding; I was sure that she could hear it.  If I admitted my feelings to her, would she be offended?  I nodded, unable to find my voice.

Her reaction startled me.  "I knew it!" she exclaimed and, before I could react, pounced on me.  I found myself laying on my back with her straddled over me, and suddenly, she was kissing me.  My head reeled with shock; could this possibly be real?  I dared to wrap my arms around her and felt her tongue trace my lips, waiting for an invitation.  I was happy to comply.
Just a short story with original characters. Who are the characters? I don't know, really. I suppose that they could be anyone. I just felt that I had to write it, because I couldn't get the idea out of my head. Maybe now, I can go back to writing the oneshot fanfic that I'm working on.

:jawdrop: Oh...My...GODS! This has been read 200 times in less then 8 hours??? :faint: I can't believe it! :wow: Thanks so much, everyone.

EDIT: I went through and revised this story, correcting some grammer errors. The general content is still the same, though.

I decided to commission :iconmartyz: to draw these characters for me. Doing so also brought me to develop these characters further; giving them names and stats.
