I am planning to post an excerpt I made on a site where a lot of readers go. My problem is, my brain doesn't seem to work on constructing a title. So I'm going to post it here and please comment your suggestion. If you're title catches my attention, I'll dedicate my work to you. (:

She
leaned back, her spine pressed on the wooden cabinet, arms crossed on her chest
and grumbled. It has not been long since James dropped her home. But it was not
for that reason that her mood went sour. Her whole day was of bliss not until
her fairy godfather started talking.
She told
him about her date with the guy she always like; the reason why the fairy is
with her. At first, their conversation went smoothly but went out of line. He
mocked the guy, bringing a frown to her face.
“What’s
good about it anyway?” he said with a smirk. His eyes, the color of almond,
showed arrogance. With a finely chiseled face like his, its hard not to drool but
somehow she succeeded. “He just takes you to dates but did he ever talk about
having a relationship?”
“What do
you know about relationships, Snyde?” she snapped. “Or have you ever been in
one to talk like that.”
The
fairy did not respond instead he shrugged. He turned his back on her and began
fumbling her pile of stuff animals. Even in normal human clothes, he managed to
make it look beyond average. His caramel-colored hair was in a mess but he
still pulled it off as if it’s meant to be that way. Silence enveloped them and
took a while before she spoke again.
“Have
you?”
Snyde
pivoted and stared confused at Beige. She was just gazing at him, silent,
waiting for his response, that is, if he would. He knows the answer actually,
but he chose to keep his mouth shut. She raised a brow when he did not speak.
“Have
you been in love?” He refused to reply and look away from her. Beige blinked a
few times before a smile crept her face. Never had he stayed silent in any argument like this, he always win. “You are now, aren’t you? Who is she?”
“Why do
you care anyway?”
“Well,”
she said pouting, “you know a lot about my magical love life yet I know nothing
about yours. You might want to share. Just a little about the girl will do.”
He sat
on the window seat, eyes fixated at nothingness. “Fairies aren’t allowed to
fall for a human. No one dared to at least.” He looked up at Beige and her
eagerness to hear about this made him smirk. “We’ll be banned from our world
and won’t be able to use any more magic.”
“Why are
you telling me that?” It took some time before realization dawned to her. “You’re
in love with a human! Do I know her?”
“Of
course you do.”
But the
pleased look on Beige’s face faded away. What he told her sunk in and she felt
sorry. She didn’t say anything about it though. Snyde doesn’t want to be
pitied. If she’d show even the slightest of it, he’d begin ranting about things
she doesn’t understand.
“She
doesn’t know, does she?” she asked.
“She
doesn’t have to.”
Beige
shook her head in disagreement, her bangs falling to her eyes. Despite the fact
that they are not allowed to love any human, he should tell her his feelings.
Let her know that she’s lucky enough to be liked by someone.
“Does it
really matter?”
“Of course it does. She might feel the same way
about you.”
“She’s
stupid and won’t get it.”
She
threw him a dirty look and placed her hands on her hips. “You’re saying you
love her but you just called her stupid. If you don’t want to, might as well
forget about her. Then you can try looking for a beautiful fairy.”
“Won’t
do.” He sauntered close to her. His nearness didn't bother Beige; she’s been
immune to his taunting. He stroked her hair and she knew he’s going to talk
nonsense like he always does. But he did not. He then gently touched her
cheeks, sending a shiver down her spine. His touch was so light she could
barely feel it. He fondled her lips with his thumb which surprised her but she
didn't make any attempt to stop him. She likes the sensation of his touch. Her
eyes were fixed on him while he continued touching her. Feeling her.
He leaned,
closing the gap between them, eyes staring intently at her lips. He glanced at
her and when she didn't move, planted his lips on hers. His kiss was soft yet
expressive and as he pressed on, she kissed back. Emotions exploded inside her:
confusion, astonishment and rapture.
