He was lightning and thunder, frightening, but so magnificent.

I was a hurricane, lost and in search of purpose.

When we met it was like a collision of two catastrophes.

But who knew chaos could be so beautiful, so addicting.

I woke up groggily from a dreamless sleep. As soon as my eyes opened they met with a pair of dark grey ones peering down at me.

I screamed and nearly toppled off the bed in fright.

Sebastian blinked at me in confusion.

/"Then why were you leaning over the bed staring at me!/" I snapped, my heart still thudding wildly.

/"You were asleep. I didn't want to wake you./" He said with a casual shrug.

I narrowed my eyes and pursed my lips, biting back the retort I wanted to give.

/"So, what are you doing here?/" I said instead.

His lips curled up into a small smile, those beautiful dimples of his flashed, momentarily distracting me.

/"I have a surprise for you./" His smile widened making my breath hitch.
