The first time I saw him. I was thirteen at my Grandma Helen's condo pool. My sister and I were doing laps to entrain grandma, when some old lady walked in with her blonde haired curled out at the ends grandson. Then it hit me hard, it felt like being kicked in the gut. We ignored each other but we both looking at one and other. Amy and I were playing volleyball in the water, grandma suggested that the three of us play monkey in the middle. We looked each other in eyes and locked in a stare. Amy threw the ball at me and hit the water beside me so I was splash. We threw it back and forth. Before we all left I overheard grandma and his grandma talking about the tension when he and I were locked in a stare. The next morning, they invited us to the Coaldale corn maze, grandma said yes.
So here I am sitting in a 1979 mini van, wearing a pair of black board shorts with red Hibiscus flowers on the sides, and a white shirt with some lace that goes around your neck. I was sitting in the back with Aaron and Amy in front of us sleeping. It's 8:00 pm we just finished the maze. The sun was setting with areas of open land and bit of cloud in the sky with reds, yellows, and pinks, around the sun. I felt myself falling as sleep, I felt my head fall into a crook of someone's neck. It was warm, comfortable, and hard and felt like I belong there. I slipped into blackness.
"Dam it." someone yelled waking everyone up.
I rubbed my dark brown eyes looking around. The van stopped, I found myself on top of Aaron and his even tanned muscle arms wrapped around my waist.
"What's wrong?" Amy asked tired
Aaron woke up, releasing me; we climbed out of the van
"The van broke down!" grandma paused "Where are we going to stay for the night?" grandma asked
"There!" Amy pointed to the brown with green motel behind her.
"Good." Both grandmas answered.
We rented 1 room for the night. We walked up the outside green stairs. Down the hall to room 001, grandma unlocked the door. The walls were white with flowers. The room had two twins, 1 double. We let the grandmas have the twins and the three of us have the double. We felt so tired we decide just to go to bed. I felt myself being moved on top of someone again but I was too tired to care. I woke up facing Aaron with his arms around me. He loosed his grip and I carefully slipped away. I walked though a door to a TV and an orange leather loveseat and the matching couch, the carpet was cream and the walls were white. Grandma and Aaron's grandma Annasophia and Amy were on the couch watching the morning news.
"Morning bears how was your night?" Grandma asked with a knowing smile and giggles all round
"Good, what do you guys know that I don't?" I asked confused
They looked at each other and back at me. Amy grabbed my lime green razor cell phone with a camera and flipped it open to a picture of me in my boy boxers and a tee with Aaron in his boxers and perfect muscular chest. The covers were off, his arms around my waist and my arms around his neck, we were facing each other, head to head, hand in hand it seamed perfect like we belong.
"I have some others on my phone!" Amy blurted out
"Thanks." I snapped
"Nice pic, can I see?" asked a familiar voice.
I looked behind me to see a half-naked Aaron; you could see his 6 packs and his muscle. Amy gives him my cell.
"Why did you take these?" Aaron asked
"Blackmail, and so I have a picture of the cute couple to show at the wedding!" Amy answered happily
Sensing the tension Annasophia stood up.
"Time to go." Annasophia said
We pilled into her fixed van and traveled home. We turned into the condo, down the ramp, though the door and the stole 403, and we pilled out of the van.
"Hey Miley come here!" Aaron shouted from across the way. I walked over
"Hey, sup?" I asked
"Um… I'm sorry…about last night" Aaron paused looking for the right words, looking at the ground. I put my hands on his cheek making him look at me.
"No problem, don't think about it okay? I said looking in his eyes.
"Okay" He said putting his hand on my. "They are watching us." He laughed softly
I started laughing too.
" Here, e-mail, call between 4:30 pm to5: 30 pm on week days, and noon to 6:30 pm on weekends, I have msn too." He told me slipping a piece of paper in my free hand. He leaned in and kissed my cheek and hoped into a car with his parents and older brother and his bros wife to go home. I waved bye. I walked to my family, sliding the paper in my pant pocket.
