I was sitting on the front porch of my parents’ split-level ranch house, my
hands shielding my eyes from the sun, waiting for… I reached into my
jacket pocket and pulled out the folded piece of paper.
Nolan.
His family had just moved to Paris, Ohio, and our parents insisted that we
become friends. Mostly my parents, since I was something of a loner.
They wanted to see me out and about doing normal things… but, I wasn’t
normal, and they didn’t seem to want to accept it.
I sighed as I shoved the paper back into my pocket and leaned back in my
chair, closing my eyes.
Although I didn’t like the sun’s rays blinding me, I didn’t mind the feel of its
warmth against my face. I didn’t realize I had fallen asleep, until I felt
someone shaking me gently.
“Huh?” I asked, startled.
“You fell asleep, Starr,” my mother said gently.
“Oh. Sorry,” I mumbled, shifting in my chair and running my hands through
my mahogany-colored bob. I wasn’t proud of anything on my body, but I
especially loved and took care of my hair; to me it was the only pretty thing
I had to show off. “Did Nolan show up?”
“Yes,” a semi-deep, smooth voice replied.
I looked at my mother in confusion.
The smile on her face and the wander of her eyes to the left, led me to look
around her to who had answered.
While I managed to keep an uninterested look on my face, my heart felt
like it was going to beat out of my chest. He had to be the hottest thing
walking planet Earth, and he was sitting on my porch. Big, emerald-green
eyes, shaggy light-brown hair, and a half-smile that if I saw enough times,
I’m sure would command me to get up and walk again.
“I’m going to go inside. You kids have fun today,” my mother said as she
walked back into the house.
I groaned inwardly.
I wasn’t a kid. My twenty-first birthday was in three and a half weeks, and
she still treated me like I was a baby.
I heard Nolan’s good-natured laughter and forced myself to smile. It was
obvious that he wasn’t a kid either. Not with a strong face like his, not with
those arms, not with the way that shirt was hugging his chest…
I sighed and folded my hands on my lap.
No reason to daydream about things that can’t happen, Starr.
“So, how long was I out?” I asked with a nervous laugh.
“About ten minutes. At least that’s how long I’ve been sitting here,” he
replied with that half-smile. Did he have dimples? Of course he did.
“Sorry.”
“No, it’s okay. I didn’t mind. You looked so peaceful that I almost fell asleep
just from watching you,” he said with a chuckle.
I smiled and felt a small blush starting to creep across my face, so I cleared
my throat and looked away. I turned slightly in my chair when I heard the
blinds move, and rolled my eyes when I saw my little brother and sister
sitting in the window, watching us with big, goofy grins.
“We should probably go,” I said loudly.
