Forgotten Flame...

My head felt like a labyrinth of darkness, confusion and questions, it seemed that no matter which way I turned there was always something brewing in the depths of my brain. Like an abyss hidden within my skull.

I wasn't getting any real source of escape until I was asleep, I knew I was in too deep with all this. But the idea of stepping away, of not being involved gave me an anxiety which I didn't want, I didn't like..

As we sat in the restaurant, around a table for 8, my ears picked up the faint traces of a familiar song. A song which caused me to look towards one corner of the table.

'He's so tall, and handsome as hell..'

A hearty smile broke across his face as he laughed with Bacon, a smile which caused my heart to pick up a pace or two within in my chest.

'He's so bad but he does it so well..'

My eyes cast over his crispy pressed shirt, the faux hawk styled hair, his RayBan prescription glasses which encased his mysterious and addictive coloured eyes, whilst the smell of his cologne invaded my senses even from across the table. When I was near him, it was impossible to think, I was smothered and absorbed by him.

'I can see the end as it begins my one condition is..'

My heart stopped as he looked in my direction, our eyes meeting before the familiar burn on the tips of my ears and across my cheeks began. Busted for ogling him, I tore my eyes back to the menu in hand before my breathing turned ragged. I was hungry, the hunger was strong, pulling at the pit of my belly, stronger than I had ever felt, but for the first time it was a different type of hunger.

One, a menu in a restaurant couldn't satisfy.
