Thread: Of Mind And Matter (The Vince Experience x Don't_Judge_Me)

Fawn welcomed the rush of cool air as she stepped inside the coffee shop. She had lived in this town her whole life, and was accustomed to the warm summers, but this summer seemed to be warmer than the last. Her cheeks were sun kissed from her last outing to the coffee shop, because it was only a short distance from her house she often walked there, when she had forgotten to put on sunscreen. With her paper pale skin tone, Fawn burned easily. Today she was wearing a white strapless summer dress with a warm colored floral print. Normally her parent would get upset with her wearing something as revealing as a strapless dress, but because of the summer heat they hadn't been too upset when she had sat down for breakfast wearing it that morning. Her caramel brown hair that rested right below her chin was wind blown from her walk, but it was easily fixed when she briefly ran her fingers through a few times. Today was a good day she decided to herself silently. She didn't know why she was in such a upbeat mood and she wondered if it was the summer air. After nine long months of stressful school days with little break in between, she was relived to have three months all to herself. She could go to the beach, maybe catch a movie with some friends, or maybe get herself a boyfriend now when she didn't have to worry over grades so much. Her parents had made it clear to her at a very young age that grades were a serious matter in her household and because she was Asian people tended to assume that she was a smart girl, it wasn't easy having to live up to other people expectations but Fawn had handled it for the first 17 years of her life and she was sure that she could do it for the rest of her life as well. And as long as she kept her grades up when school started up again, she was sure her parents wouldn't mind her having a boyfriend. She needed somebody she could have fun and relax with, somebody other than her best friend that is. After seeing so many of her friends fall so deeply in love, Fawn wanted to experience it for herself. The goodnight kiss, snuggling on the coach together and watching a movie, and the warm embraces! She wanted her heart to ache in the pleasant way her friends had described to her over and over again. She was 17 after all, wasn't it time for her to experience that special kind of love? Fawn smiled when her name was called and she happy paid for her iced coffee. Her dark eyes scanned to room for a place to sit but found something much better instead. An attractive man with dark curly hair, somebody she had yet to meet and in this small town that was a rare thing. There looked go be a age difference between the two of them, but she didn't mind all the men her age still acted as if they were still young boys. She doubted that something like that would be a problem with him. She waved at him quickly, testing the waters. Maybe they could talk while they each enjoyed their drinks? That was innocent enough, she was still new to the flirting business but she had to start somewhere. So while the courage she had built up was still in her system she walked over to his table with a smile. Is it alright if I sit here? She asked him politely.
