As Andy stood outside waiting for Jo, he was leaning casually against his old red Ford pick up truck. Andy had two other cars besides this one that were way more "flashy" and "cool" but occasionally he liked to take his Ford out for a ride, give her some "exercise" as Andy liked to put it. It was the first car he ever owned. He was 17 when his father gave it to him as a birthday present and he liked to keep it for sentimental reasons. Today had to be no less than 90 degrees but what else could be expected from California weather. Andy, Johnathan, and even Sabrina were all born and raised in Homer, Alaska and though they were happy there, after Sabrina had threatend to leave Andy he decided a move to somewhere completely different would symbolize a fresh start for them. San Diego, California seemed like the place to be. Johnathan Hillstrand new his brother was having a hard time with such a drastic move and being away from his family and within two and a half months Johnathan moved out to California only 15 minutes from his brother. Though Andy was thrilled about it, he knew his brother's move wasn't only for his benefit. Johnathan was not getting on very well without his little brother either. As Andy leaned against his truck dazed, he was suddenly pulled from his thoughts when he heard the front door open.

Jo stepped out in a white short sleeved v-cut shirt, khaki cargo shorts, and white uptown Nike sneakers. She wore a gold chain with a gold anchor hanging from it and gold hoop earrings. Since Jo had just stepped out the shower her long brown hair hung in small wet curls. Andy knew though, that as the day went on Jo's hair would dry and the curls would turn big and her hair would become almost wild. Andy often thought of Jo as having wild, jungle lady, amazon hair. Not that he thought it looked bad on her, it was just that most girls, especially in Homer, ever had their hair like that. The girls who he grew up with, and even Sabrina, had straight or slightly wavy hair but never wild like Jo's. As he watched Jo make her way down to his pick up he took the initiative to really look at her for the first time. Jo was not a skinny or petite girl by any means, but she wasn't fat either. Jo had thick, full legs, wide hips and she had to be atleast a big C or small D. Though Jo had a bigger frame than most girls Andy dated or grew up with, she took care of herself very well. Jo was 5'7 , had a tight, flat stomach, toned and muscular legs and though she was a full figured girl she still had a decently slim waist which complimented her curves and womanly figure. Growing up around the girls Andy did, he had the concept that skinny was the epitome of beauty and alot of times the bigger girls got made fun of and didnt get dates. Jo was showing him that, for lack of a better term, "big was beautiful". Again it wasn't that she was fat, she was just filled out in all the right places and Andy didn't mind this new point of view.

Andy tore his gaze away from her body and found himself staring into her face. Jo had slightly chubby cheeks, almost like the cheeks of a bunny. He worked his gaze up towards her naturally, straight white teeth which were slightly hidden beneath her full, pink lips. Above her lips was her nose, which was small and sat just under her big brown eyes and her eyes seemed honest. And of course there was that crazy amazon hair of hers. Her body was the color of caramel. Jo was half puerto rican, from her mother's side and half black, from her father's side. Andy figured the combination of the two races was the reason for her wild hair and for a minute he found himself admiring Jo for having such confidence in her hair and body, when most people he knew or had been around would not have found her to be a beauty queen for those reasons exactly. But she was...She really was.

Andy had just finished up his assessments on Jo just as she arrived at the pick up. "Im ready" Jo said opening the passenger side door, hopping in and closing it without another word. Andy looked to the sky and sighed before making his way around the Ford and getting in. As he shut the door he glanced over at Jo who was stairing straight ahead. "Should put on yout seat belt." Andy said as he started the engine. Jo shrugged saying "You too." Andy also shrugged but he did put on his seat belt. As he backed out the driveway and headed down the street for the 20 minute drive to Johnathans favorite SuperMarket, he saw that Jo had put her seatbelt on as well. For the entire ride, they rode in silence with nothing but the radio playing softly in the background.
