The Time we Met

Her face was red but her beauty didn't leave her. We had stood under the intense heat of the sun waiting for our our names to be called before we were admitted into the exam hall.

She was seated opposite my desk and wore a smile that got me stunned. A gap of teeth and good lips accompanied her perfect face.
I gazed at intervals and looked away immediately whenever she looked my way.

I can remember that it was the fourth time staring at her when she caught my gaze; I looked away immediately but on second thought, I can't be looking away from a girl's gaze, so I looked back immediately and held her gaze for some time before she broke it.

I was about to look away when she turned back and fixed her eyes on me, this time determined as if she was playing a game. I smiled as if I read her thoughts and looked away.

The exam started and yet, I continued to steal glances at her. She was a rare beauty and I wished she was my wife.

If only people can be judged by their physical appearance, lol.
We finished the exam and I left without looking back.
