-Thursday June 10th,2010

Calleigh breathed out a sigh of relief as she plopped down on her bed and gazed around her room, finally realizing that THIS is the way she wanted her new room to be arranged, as she had been working on her room all week long.

Calleigh, the blonde southern beauty and her father had just moved from Baton Rouge, Louisiana to Miami, Florida. Her father had been offered a better job, but Calleigh knew that he was really trying to run from her crazy ass bitch of a mother. When Calleigh found out that her parents were divorcing, she was given the option of living with her mother or father. She opted to stay with her father, although if living by herself had been a choice, she would've chosen that.

Calleigh thought she heard a knock downstairs, but she didn't move from her spot on her bed. First of all, who would be knocking on the door, they just moved there and didn't know anyone. Second, she was way too comfortable to do anything, if someone was knocking, her father would answer the door, just as long as he wasn't passed out drunk anywhere.

"Ughhhh" she whined as she heard the knock again. She got up from her comfy spot on the bed and began walking down the steps, to the door. She opened the door.

"Hello."

The woman behind the door said to Cal. She was a cute Spanish woman who looked to be in her mid-30's.

"My name is Analía (Analee) Delko, and this is my son Eric Delko." He flashed her a smile and said hi .

Wow, she's beautiful!

Hello. Calleigh said to him.

We saw that you were moving in and we just wanted to welcome you into the neighborhood. We live about 7 minutes down the street.

Well, I don't think my father is home right now, and our living room is still a little messy, but it's presentable enough for you 2 to come in and sit down . She opened the door wider and moved to the side and invited them into her house.

Sheeeeesssshhh , he looks pretty damn good .

She walked them to the living room where the mother and son sat down on the suede couch.

Oh, by the way my name is Calleigh Duquesne and my father's name is Kenwall Duquesne, he must've stepped out for a minute or something.

Here you go Eric said offering Calleigh a dish of something.

"What's this?"

"It's called arroz con lecche" he told her.

Ohhh, rice pudding thank you for making it .

Wow, she's freaking beautiful and she speaks Spanish.

Here, I'll go put it in the kitchen.

No, just point me in the direction and I can sit it in there for you Calleigh.

My God, the way he says my name.

Calleigh giggled. If you insist, c'mon I'll show you where it's at. When they got to the kitchen she opened the refrigerator door, and he sat the dish on a random shelf. When he stood straight up, the two teens just looked at each other dead in the eyes. Calleigh offered a little smirk, and Eric cleared his throat and laughed awkwardly.

I guess we oughtta head back to the living room huh?

Yeah, we don't wanna leave your mother lonely. The pair walks back to the living room and Eric sits next to his mother on the sectional couch, and Calleigh sits on the other side of it, so they're all facing each other.

So, Calleigh, how old are you and what grade will you be in?

I'm 16 and I'll be a senior.

Oh, you'll be in the same school as Eric.

Oh really, how old are you Eric? Calleigh asked him.

I'm 17 and I'll be a senior as well.

Calleigh, do you play any sports or anything like that? Analia asked Calleigh.

Only for fun, not for a team or anything like that.

Where did you move here from? Eric asked now noticing her sweet southern country like accent.

I was born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, but my dad got a really good job offer here, so we packed up and moved down here.

Have you met anyone else from around the neighborhood yet? He asked her.

Nahh, actually I haven't really gone out since I got here.

Well, y'know I'm off from work tomorrow and I could give you a little tour of the city if you want.

Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes . Eric silently hoped.

Ohh, that'd be great Eric.

Thank You Lord!

I'll come and get you around noon, and then we'll be on our way.

Well Calleigh it's really nice talking to you sweetheart, but I have to finish dinner for when Eric's dad comes home.

No problem , I think that it was really sweet of you to come over just to say hi to me and I really appreciate it.

Oh, you're welcome sweetie. Eric and his mother got up to leave, when Calleigh interrupted…

Eric wait here, she handed him her phone. Put your number in, she suggested.

Oh, here you too, he gave her his phone, and they exchanged numbers.

I'm going to text you later Cal, he said and flashed her another smile.

And I'll text you back. When she said that, it felt as if his heart leapt out of his chest and onto cloud 9.

Thank you for the arroz con lecche and, I'll see you guys later . As soon as she spoke in spanish , Eric's pants grew a little tighter.

Thank God for baggy pants.

He tried to picture his dad naked to rid himself of his little problem, before it got any worse. His little method worked, and when he snapped back into reality, it was time to say goodbye to the little beauty that stood before him.

See you sweetheart. Goodbye Cal.

With that she shut the door, and ran to the kitchen window to watch her new friends get in the car. Eric got in the driver's seat and Mrs. Delko in the passenger's seat and then they were off. Calleigh smiled to herself as she thought about Eric.

-On Their Way Home—

Analia Delko is smiling at her son while he's driving.

Ma, why you keep looking at me like that?

You like Calleigh don't you.

…yeah, as a friend.

Eric, I'm your mom you can't lie to me, it's impossible.

Alright ma, I like her a little, but I barely know her and I don't think I'm her type.

Oh Eric, have some faith in yourself baby. You're a great kid and don't forget to text her.

Thanks Ma, I love you and as I'm gunna text her when we get home.

Daddy, can you bring me a slice of pepperoni? Calleigh asked her father

Yeah, lambchop. Here you go, he handed her a plate with a slice of pepperoni pizza on it, both of them were sitting on the couch watching TV and eating their pizza.

While you were gone today, a lady and her son from the down the street came to welcome us into the neighborhood, her name was Analia and his was Eric, they even made us some rice pudding, it's in the fridge.

That was pretty nice of them, I'll have to thank them later and apologize for not being home. Where do they live?

She said a couple of minutes down the street but I'm not sure where exactly. But Eric and I were planning on going out tomorrow afternoon so he could show me around town, so I'll probably find out where they live then.

And, where exactly is this Eric kid taking you? Her father asked.

"I don't know Daddy, he's taking me around town, he's a nice kid, and he's my only friend in the entire state of Florida." She told him

"That's not true lambchop, you have a couple of cousins that live down here in Florida."

Calleigh rolled her eyes at her father and in her head, she had already decided that she was going out with Eric tomorrow with or without her father's approval.

Alright lambchop you can go with him, but remember tomorrow is my first official day at work so I won't be home until about 7 I'm guessing, but I'll leave you some money on the kitchen table before I leave for work in the morning.

Thank you Daddy. She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and then collected their plates and took them into the kitchen to wash them. As she was washing the dishes her phone vibrated and she saw that she had received a text message. She opened it up to see who it was from and when she read that it was from Eric, her entire face lit up.

( Text Convo )

-Hey Cal. Wht's up?

-Nm , washing dishes ):

Hbu?

-lol, awe poor baby. I'm watchin a movie w/ my fam.

-lucky you.

-We still on for tomrrow, right?

-Yeah.

Please don't cancel on me

-Good cuz I just figured some cool places we can go to.

-sounds like fun, I can't wait.

-Me neither Cal.

-Well, I'm about to fall asleep sooooo, Goodnight Eric. (:

-Goodnight Calleigh sleep tight & get all the rest you can, because you're gunna need the energy tomorrow.

Calleigh laid in her bed facing the ceiling making a prayer to God for Eric NOT to be too good to be true, but to actually be as good as he seemed. She laid on her side and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Eric laid awake in his bed on his side, praying to the man upstairs that he would not screw up tomorrow with Calleigh. For some unexplainable reason, as soon as he looked into her green eyes, she made all his worries and doubts melt away. How is this even possible, he thought I've only known for barely a day, and I feel like I'm in love…..

Next chapter is Eric and Calleigh's little outing, it's not technically a date. Go ahead and review , give me some constructive critism if youu can .
