The Encounter

The park was filled with sounds, and scents of blossoming flowers. Babies were in their strollers being pushed by their Mommies, and others were walking their dogs. The rest of the people didn't seem to register to me. I mindlessly sat down on the bench and closed me eyes. I titled my face up and let the sun warm my skin. Summer could not have come fast enough. I opened my eyes when birds began to think of me as a statue, and good thing I did because a homeless person had made his way towards me. My heart was light today and I decided to spare him some change but I didn't bother to stay longer and observe him.

I continued to walk down the path, clearing my head of all troubles. I was in deep thought when I slammed into someone. I fell back and hit my head on the concrete pavement. The other person seemed not to have fallen because his shadow was blocking the sun. My vision made duplicates of the person I had just slammed into.

"Owwwww" I cried, and he immediately knelt down and helped me up. He started to move his lips but my hearing had become lost in the fall. He is...no it couldn't be...not possible...but without a doubt this was Taylor Lautner.

"...I'm so sorry, does your head hurt?" he finished saying with those puppy dog eyes.

"My head?...Oh ya, I'll be fine." I tried to force a smile but my head hurt too much. Why didn't I wear my purple dress today? I should have put on some lip gloss before I left the house, "Ummm...." I was about to say something but his hand was on my head and I had gone breathless. "Ya, I definitely feel a bump right here" he examined my head and frowned.

"Why were you running?" I asked, suddenly remembering seeing a person running full speed at me. He looked shocked for a moment and then I saw a flash of recognition in his eyes. He looked back behind him and his stance looked like a runner before a race. He paused for a moment and then replied, "Would you like to run away with me?"

"Yes! I mean sure" I tried to remain calm but my heart was beating so fast that I thought it would fly right out of me.

"Come on" he grinned, and I could recognize that grin off the poster on my wall. Taylor grabbed my hand and we ran past the Mommies and their adorable babies, past the dogs and their owners and all those other people...Oh. All those other people were here for a reason, "Wait" I stopped running and stared at him, "Why are we running?" He looked as if he was struggling with something, "If I tell you, will you promise me that no matter what you will stay with me?"
"Yes, I promise" I didn't even bother to consider it, the words will you stay with me willyoustaywithme... willyoustaywithme kept running through my aching head.

He smiled a devastingly beautiful smile that melted my heart down from it's hyper active state, "First of all I never got your name beautiful"
"Uh..Saba" I stammered, he had made me forget my own name!
"Lovely," he chirped and then he looked right into my eyes "I am Taylor Lautner." I was about to say that I knew but he nodded as he was answering my thoughts. "You know, of course. Well, if you hadn't noticed the park is kind of busy today"

"Yeah, I could barely walk through the trail, that is why I was walking along this path..."
"And I was running away from all those crazy fans and the paparazzi when I ran into you" he concluded.
"So are you filming a new movie here or something?" I couldn't imagine why Taylor Lautner would be here of all places.
"Nah, I just wanted to hang outside today" He said it as if it were the most ordinary thing for him in the world.
"Okay, so now we have to run right? Because everyone wants an autograph or picture?" I smiled knowingly. A short distance away and fast approaching was a mob of people. I nodded in their direction, and Taylor gasped in shock,"Wow, they are fast."
"We can be faster" this time we both grinned, he slipped his hand into mine and we ran towards the sun. The mob was getting faster and faster, yelling "Stop!" and "Who's the girl?" I was out of breath by the time we were on the street. Silently, we made a plan and the next store that came up we ducked into. We waited several minutes then slipped out only to find that our dilemma had not vanished. The mob must have figured that we had gone into a store and they were screaming their way back down.
Taylor laughed and squeezed my hand, "I've got a plan." His laugh was infectous and all I could do was laugh back, "Okay, let's hear it."
"No, I'll show you" he lead me towards a narrow alley, "Being famous, I need to know all the secret routes to get around town." We were going down a broken-up path, I couldn't imagine what his life must be like.

Taylor didn't bother to run anymore, he walked at a slow pace and every so often he'd look back and make sure no one was following us. He asked me about my life and the school I went to, he seemed interested and that was all I needed to know. He shared some secrets with me, that I will never tell. The sun had begun to dim and I was shocked when I realized how long we had been walking. "Voila" he said; there in front of us was a Mercedes-Benz SLK300. I started to doubt my sanity, was I imagining Taylor and all of this?
"There they are!" a thousand and one voices cried, I looked to my left- the mob.
"Not again," Taylor sighed and then flashed me a smile, "Hop in gorgeous." I did as I was told, and hopped into the convertible. Before I knew it, the car was in drive, and Taylor shyly said, "Now that the mob is gone, can I finally kiss you?"
"Only if you promise me that no matter what you will stay with me" I said.
"Forever, if you will have me" he said softly, and then he leaned in and kissed me.
We drove towards the sunset, head ache and the mob all gone. All there was Taylor and me- forever just like he promised.

You know you can't see me,
