Song Suggestions: Wildest Dreams (Taylor's Version) by Taylor Swift

You two clicked immediately. It was strange, you were both so opposite. I guess that's what made it work. What he lacked you made up for and reversed. Not many other people knew much about your personal life except for him. Your favourite thing about him was his words. Everytime he rambled about the most random times you could listen forever.

Whenever he looked at you, you melted. When he smiled your face burned from blushing. And whenever he talked you just wanted to kiss him. But you had no clue if he felt the same. For a genius he was quite oblivious to your flirting and comments. If he liked you he definitely had a good way of hiding it.

There was only one issue.

***

The movie was about halfway through and you made sure to turn the couch into a bed, Spencer had come over to watch it with you. If someone asked you tomorrow morning what the movie was about you wouldn't be able to say, he'd been talking the whole time.

"...That actually isn't correct," He started, moving his hands around for emphasis. "In the wild, there are two formally recognised lion subspecies. The African lion is found in Africa, south of the Sahara desert. The Asiatic lion exists in one small population around Gir Forest National Park in western India. Wild lions in the west and central Africa are more closely related to these Asiatic lions in India than to those found in southern and east Africa. So realistically the characters would be..."

Listening to him talk was like heaven, but at the same time it was hell. He just looked so huggable.

No, kissable. The butterflies in your stomach made you giggle, he paused and frowned. Looking like a lost puppy.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Stumbling over the words as he spoke, you stopped laughing and grabbed his hands while smiling.

"No, no you didn't. It was just…cute." You muttered.

"Thank you?" A confused look on his face when he responded. Your heart shattered a little, that was obvious wasn't it? Did his feelings not reciprocate? "Oh! Also, manes on male lions tell a story. Male lions grow impressive manes the older they get. These manes grow up to 16 cm long and are a sign of dominance. The older they get, the darker their manes go. As well as attracting females, their manes may also protect…"

His words trailed off again and he stared at you. "You keep being weird. You're all red. Did I say something wrong? I know that sometimes I speak for too long and I go on and on, which annoys people-" He sighed, "And I'm doing it now. I'm sorry."

"No, please. I love when you talk. It's calming." Grinning, you continued, "So what about protection?"

"Oh, um…manes can also protect their neck and head from injuries during a fight." He slowed down his speaking, like he was a little self-conscious about his words now. When he stopped talking everything was silent, except for the sound of the movie quietly playing on the TV in front of you.

"Spence? What's wrong?" Tilting your head and looking at him, he was staring at the TV but he didn't seem to be watching it. Just thinking, his eyebrows furrowed like they normally did while he was deep in thought. "What are you thinking about?"

"Have you been flirting with me?" He blurted out, looking back up and at you. You almost jumped, not expecting that question.

"What?" Still in shock it took you a minute to respond. Letting the silence fill the air again, he didn't speak. He just stared, waiting for an answer. "I-What would you think if I was?"

"I would've wished I'd noticed sooner." He sighed, making that puppy-dog face you loved. Neither of you really knew what to do and sat there for what you would believe could've been hours.

"Fuck it." You breathed out and as if he knew what you were thinking as well he leaned in at the same time as you, kissing you softly. After a couple seconds you felt his hands wrap around your face, holding it as he kissed more.

Your hands didn't know where to go, after a couple more seconds they finally found their place, one around the back of his neck and the other tucked around his waist. Pulling you closer to him.

A couple seconds later you both moved away from each other, only long enough to catch your breaths and muttering random words. Before you knew it the both of you were back to kissing, to make up for how long you guys spent not kissing.

The longer it went the closer to each other you got, his one hand started to slide down your neck and then your waist when suddenly your hand hit a button and the movie that was still playing turned up to full volume.

Both scrambling for the remote he managed to shut the TV off, surrounding you both in the darkness of the night.

The two of you continued to kiss every once in a while but it didn't take long for the darkness to make you both sleepy and you ended up just cuddling. You fell asleep with your head on his chest, listening to his heart beat. He had one hand holding you close to him, as if someone was coming to steal you away. The other hand tracing up and down your back until he too, drifted off to sleep.

“Rosalie Duthè, the first person known as a dumb blonde” p. 67. I selected this quote from the readings because i found it quite funny that there is a first person that was known as a dumb blonde. I always assumed the saying wasn’t directly applied to a specific person more just an overall group.

1. I chose to draw a lion because for as long as i can remember this has been my favorite animal. When i was younger my parents showed me the Lion King and i was immediately hooked on lions, they simply took over. I had too many lion stuffed animals and obsession with owning a lion for when i got older. A fact i learned about lions is that nearly all wild lions live in Africa, while a small population lives around the Gir Forest National Park in western India.

2. My favorite music to listen to during fall is more melodic because i feel it captures how my brain processes the changing of the seasons. My favorite fall/halloween movie is the Halloweentown series on disney. Growing up i would always watch those whenever halloween came around it is like a tradition at this point.

3. In the year i was born in 2002, Japan won the FIFA World Cup defeating South Korea. Sports have always been a staple in my family growing up whether we were watching them together as a family or my siblings and i were playing in various sports.

4. The song i chose is “It Never Rains” by Tony! Toni! Tonè! I chose this song because whenever we were driving long distances when i was younger, I would always fall asleep through the drive and I would wake up and my father would be blasting some R&B song and the one i always remember vividly would be this song. I know the song has another meaning behind it’s lyrics but to me it’s just plain and simple as they say it, “it never rains in Southern California”. My dad grew up in Southern California listening to R&B and other genres of music so through these nightly car rides it greatly influenced my taste in music.

World Lion /day

World Lion Day is celebrated every year on August 10 to raise awareness about the conservation of lions and their habitats.

It was first established in 2013 by Big Cat Rescue, the world’s largest accredited sanctuary dedicated to lions.

Recent studies have revealed that lions were once present in the Arabian Peninsula, significantly influencing Arab culture.

It is noted that Arabic dialects and literature contain an extensive array of almost 700 distinct names or expressions referring to the lion.

Research reveals that lions occupied a vast and diverse range spanning the Arabian Peninsula, North Africa, Eurasia, and parts of India.

The lion’s habitat extended from latitudes as far south as 15°N (Yemen) to 18°N (Mali, Chad) and as far north as 45-48°N (Bulgaria, Ukraine, Hungary).

It is noteworthy that lions thrived in various environments, including deserts, steppes, and maritime coasts.

They are social animals and live in groups called prides. A pride typically consists of multiple females, their offspring, and a few adult males.

Distribution and Habitat:

Lions are found in sub-Saharan Africa and a small population exists in the Gir Forest National Park in the Indian state of Gujarat.

Protection Status:

IUCN Red List: African Lion: Vulnerable

(Globally) Asiatic Lion: Endangered.

CITES: Appendix I for populations of India, all other populations are included in Appendix II.

Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972: Schedule I
