"We were strange in love,

Her and I.

Too wild to last.

Too rare to break."

"Wait for me." River shouted as Faye barged out of the car, almost running towards the ocean.

"Walk faster, Blake." She laughed, taking a run to the shore.

The night had already approached, making it a cold atmosphere.

Faye smiled, watching her surrounding.

There was no one there, not even the security guard that she would pass at times she visited the beach.

Except for the constant chirrups of those birds returning to their nests, the sound of the water hitting the shore, there was nothing.

She threw her heels in the sand, hugging herself.

"Its so cold in here." He said, pulling his arms closer.

"Its December, what do you expect?" She laughed, dropping near the ocean, a cold air blowing in the surroundings.

She closed her eyes and breathed in.

She had always been enchanted by the waves, the ocean, the sand.

For her, it was a work of beauty.

She was drawing circles in the sand when she felt someone sitting beside her.

"Its really cold Faye." She felt him whisper.

"Um huh." She laid her head in his shoulder, closing her eyes.

After some time, she felt herself being drawn closer, his hand around her shoulder.

She intertwined her fingers with his, giving it a small squeeze.

"I feel warm." She smiled, earning a deep chuckle from him.

They stayed like that for hours, eyes holding each other gazes, smiles that never vanished.

They looked beautiful together.

Real yet having a fairytale awaiting them.

"Let's go to the water." Faye announced all of a sudden, standing up and pulling River with her.

"No way in hell we are going. Faye, you will catch a cold. Come on, let's just sit." River pulled her back, making her chuckle.

"Come on. It doesn't matter if we catch a cold. It will be worth it." And she ran to the water, a big smile on her face.

Just as she dipped her legs in the water, she felt a shiver run down her spine.

The water was cold. And she was sure she could not be there for more than a minute or two. But somehow she started to calm down, the cold water suddenly having no effect on her.

"Come on River, its not that cold." She waved at River to come there as she played with water, a certain spark on her eyes.

And River watched.

He watched as she played with water, whole drenched. Her hair was all wet and the smile in her face revealed how much she was enjoying it.

Shaking his head, he walked towards her.

"Fuck, you liar, this is so fucking cold." He screamed, almost running away.

"Don't be such a party popper!" And Faye threw a handful of water towards him, making him glare at her playfully.

"Oh its so so on Lockwood." And the water fight begun.

With him trying to not make her go all wet and her trying to drench him.

She was doing horrible though.

"Alright alright, I am done. This got me all tired. All because of your stupid stupid height and stupid stupid athletic body." Faye folded her arms together, a pout resting on her lips.

He laughed at that, bending in front of her.

"What?" She asked, giving him a confused look.

"Well, I was giving you a free piggy back ride but, if you don't need it, then-"

"Oi, when did I say that?" And she grabbed his neck, lunging upon him.

"Come on my precious horse, get me to my humble abode."

"Really?" Faye could almost feel his smirk.

"Oh shut up! You were supposed to say, 'your wish on my command, your majesty' or something like that. Don't ruin it." She rolled her eyes, making him chuckle.

"Your wish on my command, your majesty." He said, walking towards the shore, making her head lay on his neck.

She inhaled in his familiar scent, making her go all dizzy. She looked at his head, her mind wandering away.

He stays.

Always laughing at her silly jokes, making her unapologetically happy.

His touch making her feel like stars are dancing across her skin.

He makes her feel things she did not know she was supposed to, he makes her feel things she did not existed.

He makes her feel.

"- and I don't want you to go around saying that its all River's fault I got this headache and a stupid running nose. I mean it will be hilarious but I don't want everyone to blame me... Faye, are you listening?" He stopped walking, making her snap out of her thoughts.

Is he that naive?

Does he feel anything that she is feeling?

Does he feel butterflies when he looks at her?

She looked at him, sighing.

"Faye?"

"Yah?"

"I will get you home. Get in the car." And she did, not saying anything, she walked up to the passenger seat and after closing the car door, she started playing with her bracelet, her thoughts on the certain brown haired boy.

The car ride was silent. None of them said anything, both of them lost in thoughts.

When they reached her house, River walked out of the car, opening the car door for her.

She watched as he held out his hand for her to take.

She did not take it and grumbling under her breath, she started walking towards the gate that was already being opened by the guard.

But before she could walk away, she felt his hand on her wrist that pulled her into him.

"Sunshine, what's wrong?" And she looked at him. She looked at him with affection, pure love, a small smile on her face when she saw his concerned eyes.

She placed a hand on his cheek, making him close his eyes for a second. And then, she whispered in her faint voice, her eyes tracing his every feature, "River, I feel things when I look at you. You make me feel things I- I do not want to feel, River. Whenever I look at you, I feel something weird in my stomach, I feel like there's a whole zoo in there. And I hate it. I hate it so much. I hate it that you don't feel like that. I hate it that I feel something so foreign towards you."

"I feel miserable at times but then I feel like the happiest person. You make me feel happy and sad at the same time. River, I am falling for you and you, you are not... that's where it went wrong. All wrong." And he froze.

He looked at her with something she cannot explain and realization dawned into her.

She shouldn't have said that.

She shouldn't have said that.

She shouldn't have said that.

She ruined everything.

"I-I-" She was going to apologise, trust me, she was, but instead, she felt a warm pair of lips against hers, engulfing her, making her realize that, maybe, just maybe, it wasn't a bad idea after all.
