Waiting on Love [MEGGY!!]

[d o l c e]

Annabelle Roberts walked along the park's gravel and sand mixture path. It was finally summer; she had finally graduated and made it through high school... and safely, too! The sun was beating down on Anna's pale back as she walked along. She had cut her hair after school had been released and she had alos changed her wardrobe a little bit. She was really feeling summerish and felt as though she didn't have the proper clothes to let those feelings out. So, she had gone shopping with her mother for three days, just looking for clothes to wear.

Today, Anna was wearing white capris that hugged her legs and sat right above her knees. She had also thrown on a simple black tank top and black wedges that tied up around her ankles. Her blonde hair with black/brown highlights was tucked neatly behind her ears. The wind was blowing very so slightly, just ruffling the bottom of Anna's shiny, thick hair.

There were several going-ons in the park while Anna walked along path, the small pebbles crunching under her shoes. Her hips swayed back and forth as she moved swiftly along the path, already feeling a sunburn bubbling under her skin. However, she held her head high, excited about what was coming next. Greg Thomas, her cruch and hopefully-soon-to-be boyfriend, was coming back from Maine, where he had been visiting his uncle. Anna and Greg had hit it off instantly when they first had met in school and had stayed close until the end. Then Greg had gon off and Anna had been here in Lakeland, waiting upon his return.

Greg was like no other guy Anna had met. When she thought of him, a smile always came to her face and lifted her spirits. She was grinning right now, thinking of him. She couldn't believe that she had missed him this much; it was amazing that he was finally coming back! It seemed like ages since they had last seen each other. Annabelle took a lighter and happier step, looking around the park to see if she could find Greg. They were supposed to meet in the park today at 1:00pm. Anna bit her lip, trying to keep herself from grinning.

Greg was coming home!

((I actually brought it back so that it was summer again during the same year. But if you want them to be older that's fine with me. Since he is "your char" in a way.))

It felt so good to be walking again after driving for hours on end back from Maine. His parents hadn't really wanted him to drive out there but there was no way he'd get on an airplane. Especially when he was alone and there was nobody there to shove a tranquilizer into him so that he wasn't nervous. He hated airplanes and was glad that his parents had decided that he could drive out there. Even if it meant that he'd end up spending a lot on gas. He was glad that he had though since there had been a lot of different scenery out there that he wouldn't have been able to see if he had been flying. He had fun out in Maine but he was glad to be back home, or at least back in the town. Since he hadn't went home yet he'd run into traffic and didn't want to be late to see Anna again. Everything else could wait, he didn't just want to see her, he needed to see her.

For awhile, a few people had bothered him about being friends with Anna. They apparently thought that him talking to her was just some big joke that he had planned out. Well, they were wrong about that and they only stopped bothering him about her when he yelled at them. Of course, he'd been having a bad day when he'd done that so that could have something to do with the fact of why he got so angry. He liked her, as more than a friend yet he couldn't find the right time to tell her this. Ok, so part him was afraid that she didn't like him back but he knew that sooner or later he'd have to tell her. And he would rather have it be sooner rather than later there was always the chance that some guy might beat him to confessing their feelings. That did scare him a lot and perhaps it would help him tell her how he felt about her.

His green eyes scanned the park for a moment as he looked around trying to find Anna. He hoped that she hadn't dyed her hair or something because then he might walk right by her. Of course, if she had then she probably would have told him that she dyed her hair. He hadn't changed that much since going out to Maine, other than that he'd gotten a little tanner and there were numerous mosquito bites on him. They didn't seem to mind the bug repellent for some reason and for two days straight they had annoyed him. It was then that he spotted Anna and he instantly began running toward her. He just couldn't help it, he was way too excited he just hoped that she didn't think he'd run into her. Although, that was how they had met, he'd been running through the halls and knocked everything out of her arms. So, he'd stopped to help her pick her things up and things had just went from there.

He then literally slid to a stop next to her before smiling. "Do you know how much I missed you? The next time I'm gone for more than a few days you're coming with me." He said and then hugged her for a moment before stepping back to look at her. She looked beautiful and he hoped that he hadn't scared her by running up to her.

[[OOC: Your idea is fine, hehe. I'm just too lazy to change my first post right now. Haha.]]



Anna had been looking in the wrong direction when she heard the sound of feet falling too hard and the crunch of the gravel spinning under those feet too fast. She swung her head around and saw Greg sprinting toward her. She heart jumped and Anna stopped walking, waiting for him to reach her. When he did, Anna jumped up on him. She tightly embraced Greg around his neck and then wrapped her legs around his abdomen. Anna hugged him closely, breathing him in and filling her body up with love. Anna thought back to that day in school and was glad that it had happened.

When Greg released Anna, she stared up at him, grinning like a fool. She laughed at his statement. "I hope so!" she agreed. Anna reached up and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and then dropped her hand, slipping it into Greg's hand. She entwined her fingers with his and then squeezed, smiling at him. Several people passed the two, some walking alone and some walking with a significant or a group of friends. Annabelle barely acknowledged them. The world seemed to stop when she was with Greg and everything vanished. Nothing could harm them and no one could take them away from each other.

Of course, reality hit when a girl knocked into Anna, causing her to bump into Greg. Anna blushed for a moment and avoided Greg's eyes. She instead looked past him and saw a girl from her class whom despised her. But, why ruin such a good day? Anna looked back to Greg and grinned.

Anna tugged on Greg's arm, wanting to led him into her world. She smiled and said, "I wanna show you something. C'mon." With that, she released Greg's hand and began to walk away, hoping that he would follow suit.
