With fair skin, a charming beauty mark by her left eye, and a delicate straight nose, she possessed a captivating allure that didn't quite fit my usual preferences. Despite that, there was something undeniably magnetic about her. My voice, husky with surprise, asked hesitantly, "How old are you?" All I could imagine was the gentle play of my lips against hers, tracing her pale brown lips, and the forbidden desire to kiss her. "Seventeen," she answered, exhaling softly after what felt like a moment of hesitation. As she tugged her hoodie away from her hair, I was greeted with the intricate pattern of her cornrows – a breathtaking sight. This girl... oh, how she took my breath away.

"You must know me as Octavia, since I recognize you as Eliakim," she said, lifting her gaze back up to mine. "It's an unusual name, one I've never heard before, but it suits you." In those intense moments, I found myself growing fond of it, craving for our eyes to remain locked. "And so is yours," I replied, feeling the depth of my attraction intensify despite my better judgment.
