I knew there was always something about her. From the way she dressed to the way she walked. I wanted to know her.

She was of average height and build. Her hair the common brown with loose curls falling gently to her fragile shoulders. The color of her skin was slightly golden, obviously from hours of natural tanning. A sea of freckles dotted the tender flesh on her cheeks and swam over the bridge of her nose. A deep brown shone bright from behind the transparent lens of her glasses. Her torso was short, legs long, and breasts small. She wore a simple pair of faded blue jeans, a tight blue t-shirt under a gray zip-up jacket, and a worn pair of plain white tennis shoes that were covered in a soft coat of dirt. She was no different from any other girl that walked the halls of the school.

That was what I thought until I caught a glimpse of her smile.

Her pale pink lips parted to show a strip of straight porcelain white teeth. The joy in this gesture carried through her entire being. Even her eyes seemed as if they were dancing with amusement. It was the most breath-taking scene I had ever witnessed in my sixteen years. At that very moment was when I acknowledged her as beautiful.

From that day forward, I wanted to be the reason she smiled.

well, a man should fall in love personality of the women and not lust over her, but that the point. boys dont think thay fall for what they see and its easyer to do that then anything. yes that how it starts out simple and thats how every love story starts out and what makes your story diffrent then any other person on this site. you could do something diffrent then any other as a writer you should push your limites. does the feeling you muster in your words reach the full effect of me the reading. yes i like what you did and the possability of him looking at her and lusting over her is good,  but theirs more to the girl then her smile. I know she more then that like your are more then your smile im guessing.

well yes, but that was obvious lust, this is simple attraction to a soft smile and happiness. what a man should really love about a woman and not her looks.

i think you may be reading too far into it. I didn't say anything about her hips.  lust comes from talking about sensual parts or actions, which i have not included.

i don't quite understand where the lust is in here...so could you point it out. That's the point. Everything can be longer, but the point is to stop it so the audiance will want more. You can't give them everything. Make them deman more. and there WILL be a sequel
