I hope that this doesn't confuse anyone too much. I'm reposting the prologue and chapters 1 and 2 under a new penname (this one) and all further updates will be under this name, too.
Prologue
Buffy Summers sat at her computer, typing furiously. Her straight, blond hair was pulled up in a clip; her face was scrubbed clean and her green eyes blazed. She was on a mission. Having overslept that morning, the 22-year-old journalist had only two hours until deadline. She absolutely had to finish this article, immediately.
In the background, the commercials played on the radio. Her dog whined, wanting attention. The phone rang. She kept typing. It could wait. Everything could wait.
Suddenly, the soft strains of a song on the radio permeated her consciousness. A strong, deep voice began:
I turn around and see you standing there
Sexy dress, painted lips, dark hair…
Then I jump back in surprise
I’ve just seen your green eyes…
I glance up; you’re waiting for me
Cheerful grin, neat ponytail, in a hurry
Then I jump back in surprise
I’ve just seen your green eyes…
They’re unmistakable
Unforgettable
I can’t seem to remember when I saw them last
So unmistakable
Unforgettable
Then time goes rushing past
You’re unmistakable,
Unforgettable
God knows it’s been awhile…
I look around and see you wearing pearls
Business suit, professional smile, blond curls
Then I jump back in surprise
I’ve just seen your green eyes…
They’re unmistakable
Unforgettable
I can’t seem to remember when I saw them last
So unmistakable
Unforgettable
Then time goes rushing past
You’re unmistakable,
Unforgettable
God knows it’s been awhile…
Since I’ve seen that perfect smile
Since I’ve held you in my arms
I’ve been waiting far too long to say ‘I love you’
I miss our happy times
Back before the lies
But most of all, I miss your eyes
They’re unmistakable
Unforgettable
I can’t forget when I saw them last
So unmistakable
Unforgettable
Time is rushing past
You’re unmistakable,
Unforgettable
God knows it’s been too long
Without you.
"And there you have it folks, the new single from Love's Bitch, Unmistakable! Catch them this weekend at their sold out concert!" As the DJ rambled on, the tears that had developed during the song threatened to spill over and her delicate features crumpled. Buffy pushed herself away from the computer, burying her face in her hands. Memories washed over her. The article could wait.
a/n- Thanks so much to Kar for inspiring me to write this and to Kirsty and Starchild_295 for being such great betas!
