interested.
He told me I was the
most beautiful girl he had ever seen. .
He kissed me
This is one of those
times where I really I again resented my parents, if they had allowed me to
date boys growing up I wouldn’t have been dumb enough to start crushing on the
first man who paid attention to me. If they had let me be normal I wouldn’t
feel like I was going to throw up and cry at the very same time.
I’m just an idiot.
The brunette walks by
me out the front door, smiling at me as she passes by, I watch her walk out.
She’s perfect. She’s
tall, she has really big boobs and she doesn’t have an ounce of fat on her. Of
course he would be with someone like her.
I look back at Dean’s
door quickly, noticing that he still standing there.
He hadn’t realized I
was standing there just yet. When the girl had walked by, he had still been on
the other side of the door.
He wasn’t wearing a
shirt, he looked like he had just been in the shower, his hair was wet and
droplets of water were running town his torso.
He had tattoos all
over, more than what I had seen the first day we met, when his sleeveless top
had covered all but his arms.
When he finally notices
me standing there staring at him outside of my door, he stiffens, a look of
shock and a brief moment of disappointment crossed his features.
“Hey Olivia.” He says
in a tight voice
I wave “Hey Dean.”
I look down, reaching
into my purse for my keys to my car. Or a distraction from standing there and
feeling his gaze.
“How have you been?” He
asks
I look up “great,
everything is finally unpacked, huge relief” I laugh
He smiles, but it seems
off. Not the same as it was the day we were together last.
I stand for another
moment, shifting from one leg to another. Nerves are starting to scream ‘move’
He clears his throat “I
was um, wondering…” he drifted off
He looks down at his
feet and then back to me “if you wanted to hang out sometime this week. We
could order a movie and some pizza or something?”
He was asking me to
hang out?
I look back up to him
his expression seems hopeful
I suddenly look back
towards the front door where his date just left. He just had another girl with
him, I didn’t like the feeling I had when I realized that he was seeing someone
else. I didn’t have expectations, but I did feel a little sad that the hope I
had felt all week was dashed just moments before at the site of them together.
Dean picks up on my
issue “I didn’t realize you saw her.” His voice low
I cut him off before he
could say anything else “I don’t know what I am doing this week Dean, I will
probably be really busy but I’ll let you know or something.”
I open the front door
and walk out. I hear him call my name, asking me to wait but there really was
no point was there? I mean Dean wasn’t a single guy and clearly I had way too
many emotions to be spending time with a guy like him.
The only person who was
having issues here was me. I had to get over those.
Chapter Seven
When I get to Jaxon’s I
am so excited to see Joss. I haven’t even turned off the engine, before she
comes barreling out the front door wearing a princess dress, with a wand in
hand waving around
“Auntie Joss, Auntie
Joss I missed you so much.”
I reach down and pick
her up “I missed you too baby, how Florida was?”
“It was fun, Grammy
bought me a new princess dwess.” She beams
“Well it’s the most
beautiful dress yet J, your other dresses are going to get jealous.” I laugh,
carrying her into the house to see my brother
Jaxon is on the phone
when I walked through the door. I grab my mail that is sitting on the counter
like always. I had filled out a mail change form with the post office, but some
things clearly didn’t transfer over.
Josslyn runs into her
room to find another new toy to show me. When Jaxon gets off the phone he throws
a grape at me to get my attention
“What’s up with you
Liv?” he asks
I bite the bullet
