Orchid
She stood with her head held high amongst the fields of flowers. Her blonde hair danced around her in the wind. Her eyes were closed, her body relaxed. Her purple summer dress flapped wildly in the wind, revealing a pair of beautifully shaped legs. From where I stood, she looked like an angel who was enjoying the last of the day's sunlight.
A pink dot caught my attention. There, tucked behind her ear was a pink orchid, sitting innocently, bringing life to her blonde hair that has been freed from its bonds. She was clearly enjoying her freedom. I watched fascinated as she twirled, her finger tips brushing the flowers beside her as she moved.
Suddenly she stopped and looked up at me. Her blue eyes were deep and full of emotion. She was smiling. In a beat, she skipped over to me, grabbed my hands and pulled me towards her. I stumbled as she turned around and pulled me towards the purple flowers she was dancing with earlier.
She stopped, turned around and wrapped her arms around my neck. She swayed her hips and giggled at my foolishness for simply standing stiff like a board.
"Move, Naruto," she whispered in my ear.
"What am I supposed to do?" I asked.
"Dance, silly," she giggled. Still unsure of what to do, I placed my hands on her hips and started swaying with her. Soon we were holding hands and twirling, laughing and skipping together. I wasn't used to this kind of activity. Especially not with someone as beautiful as her.
"Why?" I found myself asking.
"Why what?" she asked, her eyes closed. She wrapped her arms around my neck again and we slowed down, now swaying together.
"Why me?" I asked.
She laughed softly. "That's a silly question, Naruto. I love you for who you are, not what you are or what you've done."
I smiled and buried my nose in her blonde hair. I could smell the sweet aroma of the orchid in her hair. Never in my life did I ever imagine myself falling in love with her. Never did I think I would find myself in her arms, and she in mine. Life has twisted itself unexpectedly, but in a good way.
Yamanaka Ino really knew how to knock a man off his feet. Let's just hope I'm the only one she has to knock over.
