Example:
This story was written by me for Bloodrose. No stealing.
Hello there,
My name is Rosa Blood.
I'm a simple, 22 year old girl that lives in LA. I'm a dancer
Yeah, I'm pretty simple. It doesn't take much to please me.
Kinda like my friend James. He's always happy about something, any little thing.
We like to look for the good in things. Even when it seems like there isn't any.
I'm reffering to my past relationship with Nick. It was a nightmare. I was never really happy. He was never really happy. In fact, he even laughed at me and walked away when I asked him to dance, some relationship right? It was just a downer. He was such a crap*censored*.
But I'm over that now, and happy again. Because James and I are closer now. I'm lucky to have him as a friend. He was always there for me.
He realized when there was something wrong with me. He knew because my dancing became lifeless. I just wasn't getting it anymore. But after I finally broke it off with Nick, my dancing had never been better.
Before long I was top of the cl*censored*! I was James's favorite student. I always listened, and I was always on time.
That's where I was headed right now, down to dancee cl*censored*es. It was almost time for cl*censored* and I was right on time. Meeting James at the door, like usual, getting a hug from him, like usual.
We walked in together, setting our stuff down.
We started stretching together, talking, waiting for the others to get here.
"So, how have you been?"
He asked with a grin.
"I'm doing alright. How about you?"
"Good, good. So, I've been thinking about something lately."
"Oh yeah? Like what?"
"....Well, I know you just broke up with Nick a month ago but, I was thinking since I don't have anything to do tonight, if maybe we could hang out? I mean ya'know, I don't get to see you that much any more."
I felt the blood rushing to my cheeks.
"I don't know James, I was going to do some stuff toni-"
"Please! Oh come on! I know you don't ever have anything to do on friday nights! Don't give me that "your busy" crap. I know you Rosie!"
I laughed at his reaction to my teasing.
"Okay okay! I was just joking. I don't have anything to do tonight."
I rolled my eyes and got up going to get a bottle of water out of my bag.
I took a sip and threw it on the floor, turning around to an expectant looking James.
"Well?"
I cocked an eyebrow at him.
"Well what?"
"Do you wanna hang out tonight?"
I put my finger to my bottom lip and looked up.
"Mmmmm."
His eyes grew wider.
"Ummmmmmm."
Wider and wider with the waiting I was causing him.
"Commme onnnn Rose!"
He whined, making his way over to me on his knees. His hands in the pleading position, his eyes in puppy dog mode, bottom lip quivering.
"Nah, I think I'll stay home all alone and do nothing all night. Boredom sounds fun."
His jaw hit the floor.
"Are you crazy?!"
"It's called sarcasm! I thought you knew me J!?"
Now it was his turn to cock an eyebrow.
"I do!"
He stood up.
"I'll prove it to you!"
"Really? When?"
He thought for a second.
"Tonight!"
"Okay, this'll be fun."
"Just you wait!"
I laughed, rolling my eyes at his confidence.
The rest of the cl*censored* started to get here, they took their positions and got situated.
James took the front of the room as the teacher.
"Alright! This is what we'll be learning today."
He started the music and proceded to do a very intricate dance.
I took in every bit of it, processing it. When it came time to do it, I was hitting it hard and remembered it all.
I enjoyed dancing, it was one of the many ways to convey emotion.
After cl*censored* was over, we all stayed to chat and hang out for a while.
I headed home after that to freshen up.
I got a shower first thing.
Then I picked out a simple but cute outfit. Some plain, dark wash, skinnys, a red camisole, a gray cardigan with the sleeves pulled up, and some black flats.
I brushed through my hair, touched up my make-up, and grabbed my essentials. Consisting of a wallet and my phone.
I heard the doorbell ring.
That was weird, I wasn't expecting anybody.
I rushed to the door and opened it to see a very smiley James.
Holding yellow roses.
I just grinned back at him.
"Your favorite flowers, in your favorite color."
He said knowingly as he handed them over to me.
"Is... this a date?"
He looked puzzled for a second.
"No, it's just friendly gesture."
I gave him a cocked eyebrow but proceded with a smile.
"Nice try, but my favorite color is red."
His smile faded into a look of confusion.
"But...."
"I'll go put these in some water."
I said grabbing the flowers with a smile. I disappeared into the kitchen for a second, finding something to put them in. I walked back to the front door only to see that James was still frowning.
"It's okay. Atleast you got the flowers right."
I locked the door closing it behind me.
"Now, where are we going?"
"How about some ice cream?"
"Okay. Still trying to prove that you know me, huh?"
"I do know you!"
His sly smirk speaking for itself.
He opened the car door for me.
"A gentleman?"
"You know it."
He went around and got in the drivers seat. Starting the car and heading off to the ice cream parlor we always go to.
We pulled up and he rushed around to open my door for me again.
I raised my eyebrows at him but got out.
"You know you do that alot?"
"Do what?"
"Raise your eyebrows at people."
"I do not!"
I said raising my eyebrow again.
"See! You did it again!"
He pointed and laughed.
I rolled my eyes and walked into the building.
Opening the door, I took a deep breath in, savoring the sugary sweet smell. I loved the sudden chill I got when I walked through this door.
It was the local shop my friends and I always come to. I loved the atmosphere. It has light blue walls and cream colored floors, white granite counter tops, the room was filled with little round tables for two, which were also white granite, with white iron chairs, the backs shaped like hearts. It was like something out of a storybook.
James came in right behind me, marching up to the counter.
"Can I help you sir?"
The nice lady behind the counter asked.
"Yes, I'd like two orders of chocolate ice cream in cups."
He turned to me looking like a know-it-all.
"I know you prefer cups over cones."
"True, but my favorite flavor is chocolate chip cookie dough."
"Dangit!!"
He stomped his foot on the floor like a child.
I giggled at his child like behavior.
"It's okay, I like chocolate too."
After we finished our ice cream, we decided to go back to his house and watch a movie, like we always used to.
When we got there I layed out four movies, three being my favorites, the other one, I didn't like.
He looked at them all carefully.
"Now, there's no way you can mess this one up. You have a 3 out of 4 chance."
He looked them over again. The blind side, The fourth kind, The strangers, and The Hangover.
He picked up The Strangers with a confident look on his face.
"Nope. I can't believe you got that one wrong! I mean, seriously!"
His jaw hit the floor. He rubbed his face with his hand, giving a huge sigh.
"I thought I knew a lot about you. I guess not."
I could hear the disappointment in his voice.
"It's okay J. Come on, let's watch The Hangover."
I put an arm around him comfortingly, grabbing the movie and walking to the couch with him.
He put the movie in and sat down next to me as the previews came on.
"I'm sorry Rosie, I really thought I knew so much about you."
"It's OKAY. Besides, that's what people date for isn't it?"
He looked at me with a curious face.
"What do you mean? Are you implying that you would like to go out with me?"
"...Maybe?"
I tried to hide the sly smile on my face.
"So does that mean you like me?"
I turned away again trying to hide my pink cheeks.
"Rosa?....I like you too. I might even..love..you."
I giggled and turned around, only to be met with his lips.
They were warm, and tasted like chocolate ice cream. He pulled me closer, I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed back. When we finally pulled away for air, he stared into my eyes.
"Do you...love..me Rose?"
"I do love you James Stark."
His face lit up like a kid on christmas.
"However, I'm going to have to get over the teacher-student thing..."
"What teacher-student thing?"
"Well, you know, you're my teacher."
"Oh, yeah. Well, I think it's sexy!"
I just stared at him wide eyed.
"If you misbehave I'm gonna have to spank you!"
"JAMES!"
"What?! It's sexy!"
"Oh my gosh J, you're unbelievable."
"I know."
He leaned in and gave me a kiss. We snuggled up on the couch to watch the movie.
Yep, this was what a relationship was supposed to feel like.
Happy, and full of love.
