Chapter 2- The Walk Around the River
It was very bright in Dana's room. She tried to pull the sheets above her head but ended up only getting hotter. She was tossing and turning until she thought of Fox.
"Oh no, he's going to be here any minute now!" She moaned to herself.
She jumped out of bed grabbed a pair of jeans and a cute tight fitting red shirt. She hoped he like her outfit. She thought to herself. She then jumped in the shower, dried off then got dressed. She let her hair air dry so it turned out a bit wavy. Then she proceeded to do her make-up. As she was adding some last touch ups the door-bell rang.
"I'll get it!" She yelled.
She ran down the stairs and almost tripped over Charlie's shoes but made it safely in one piece to open the door.
"Hi Dana" Fox said.
"Uh..hi" She hoped that he hadn't seen her blush. "Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah just let me get my car all cleaned a bit" he laughed sheepishly. She giggled a bit. He might have a big chance with her, he thought.
"Ok just let me tell my parents" With that she went in the kitchen and he heard her say "Mom, daddy I'm going to go down to the river with Fox, you know our neighbor."
"Alright sweetheart just be careful and don't be gone too long. Have fun" Her mother told her.
"Have fun Starbuck." Her father pecked her on the cheek.
She walked out the door to go follow Fox to the car. He let her in then jumped in his side and off they were. It was pretty much a quite ride for most of the trip, mostly because they were both embarrassed. It was quit until halfway there when Fox broke the silence.
"Do you want to go get something to eat before we get there? I noticed you didn't have breakfast well at least I don't think you did." He blushed a bit.
"No I didn't eat anything and yes id love to get something to eat." She blushed as her stomach gave a loud noise.
They drove to a small little place near the river. It looked a bit old but as they were eating she noticed how good the food was.
"Wow" She said threw a mouth full of breakfast burrito. "This is delicious!" "I know that's why I come here a lot." He swallowed his piece of burrito he was chewing on. "Well, why don't we take the rest of this to the river.
"Sure anything's fine with me"
"Great, let's get going then"
So off they went back on the trip to the river. Dana thought this would be a long trip but it wasn't at all, only a half hour or so all together. Then she saw it the glimmer of the water told her all she needed to know, that it was beautiful.
"Wow, this truly is beautiful."
"I know me and my sister used to come here a lot before..." He trailed off looking distant.
"Before what?" She pressed
"It's nothing" he sighed then added "no it is something. My sister was taken when she was 8 years old. It was at night and we were playing Stratego when she was taken they came and I couldn't move, I was stiff and frozen." He added quietly.
"Oh my god, who took her?"
"I.. I don't know." He didn't want to tell her it was aliens and make her think he was weird so he kept quiet. "I just know we have never been about to find her after that."
"I'm so sorry" She said as she laid her hand on his. "If that were me I'd be very upset. Do you want to talk about something else?"
"Sure were here anyways." He said glad to get off a very hard topic.
They got out of the car, walked around a bit, talked, then ate some fruit Fox brought in his car. Before they new it they had been here for 5 hours! It was around 5:30 P.M. now.
"Wow it's getting late do you want to sit by the water before we start heading in?" Dana asked as she had a certain glint in her eyes that Fox couldn't detect.
".sure.." He said slowly as his lips curved into a smile.
As they got closer to the water Dana grabbed his hand and jumped into the water bringing him with her. "Hahaha!!" she laughed
"Dana! Where did that come from?" he asked while wiping water out of his eyes.
"I just wanted to go for a swim" she couldn't stop giggling. "Come on, the water doesn't bite you know. I love the water you know ever since I was little I loved it. Maybe it's because my father is a Navy captain and I go on the water all the time either way the water is a calming factor for me." She told him.
Smiling he said, "Well maybe we could go swimming here more often we just have to be dressed in our swimming trunks or we could go skinny dipping for the fun of it." He teased.
"Well I guess it is getting late why don't we start to dry off?" She chose to ignore his remark even though what he said made her blush but she hoped he would think it was the water that made her cheeks red. She got out of the water and then started to ring herself off. He followed after her and started to do the same.
"I had real fun with you Dana I would really like to hang out with you more. You make me feel happy and actually want to do something."
"Thank you Fox I..I don't know what to say I mean your really great also and I'd love to hang out with you and I think living here can really have its kicks especially with you as my neighbor hehehe." She went to go grab his hand and take it and continued talking "Do you want to just sit here and watch the moon or something?" she hoped he would say yes.
"I'd love to." He winked at her.
They sat there for another couple of hours just sitting and talking, until Dana fell asleep on Fox's lap. He maneuvered himself around so he could fall asleep also. When he did he fell asleep listening to her soft breathing. When they finally awoken it was around 9 o'clock .
"Wow we must have really been tired. Do you want to start heading home now?" She asked.
"Yeah"
By the time the finally got home he walked her to her house and turned to face her. He looked straight into her eyes and leaned forward. Dana couldn't wait anymore so she just grabbed him by his neck and kissed him. It was a sweet thank you kiss but it meant more to them then they thought. They could have both sworn they saw fireworks until her door flew open and there stood her older brother Bill Jr. fuming.
************************************That was a long chapter!! What will happen now that Bill Jr. is at the door? Comments anyone? Anything I should add?
