Wind and Sails

She was just standing there, doing nothing. Nothing at all. She kept burning her hair on the end of her cigarette. I remember because I noted how long it was. I had a thing for long brown hair. I thought about talking to her. I thought about it a lot. My stomach shook so hard I couldn't keep my hands steady. "I'll just ask her for a light," I mumbled to myself. I tried to get a cigarette out of my pack, but I snapped it in half. I was a mess, and she was still doing nothing. The breeze seduced her hair, while the sun warmed her slowly. I couldn't watch, so I blacked it out. I was already walking, but I remember my line. Her eyes followed mine the whole way. She knew. 

"Hi, I'm Alex."

"Hi Alex, I'm Kayla."

"I mean, wait what...?"

"I said hi." And she smiled.
