Part 8:
A small chill ran down my spine and my hair stood on edge, it was getting cold.
I sat there and I began to involuntary shake a little bit. It was a normal October night after the sunset.
There was a slight breeze and no warmth was there from the sun since it had already gone down.
"Are you cold?" Leo asked looking over at me
"No." I smiled holding onto my knees. This was a dream come true for me, I wasn't going to let me getting cold ruin it.
"Are you sure otherwise we can go into the truck and I can start it up."
I shook my head " No I'm really ok." Please believe me... I prayed
"Ok then...."Leo sighed relundictally
I shook once again and curled up a little bit more pulling my knees in closer and holding them tight.
Leo stood up and ran back to his truck. He came up behind me and put a thick flannel jacket around my shoulders wrapping me up tight.
"I knew that you were cold." Leo smiled as he sat back down next to me
"Yeah...I still am." I finally admitted
"You still are." Leo joked as he pulled me into his arms and held me tight.
He held me like he did when we hugged and I rested my head on his chest.
If the rest of my life consisted of this, him and I watching the sunset and him holding me I would be absolutely happy and would not ask for more.
I closed my eyes and breathed in his after shave. I was so comfortable and he pulled me in just a little bit closer. He smelt of soap and old spice.
Sweet bliss consisted of this. I opened up my eyes and tried to glance up at Leo, his eyes were closed too and his hands were still holding me tight.
I smiled and closed my eyes once more just wishing that the world would freeze so I could live this moment forever.
But it was too late. Leo's cellphone rang and I jumped at the unexpected noise. He just laughed as he let go of me and with his right hand and fished for his cellphone.
"Hello?" He asked as he adjusted his cellphone between his shoulder and his ear pulling me in tight again.
He smiled at me and shook his head. " No...I can't right now...I'm a little busy." I sat there and chuckled a little, did this mean he didn't want to leave me?
I couldn't get my hopes up...we were just friends.....for now. My thoughts were interrupted again by Leo.
"Brandan...I'm sorry..I know..I can't help you..No, I can't come over...can't you get someone else to do it...your only putting a two inch lift onto your truck...call Russell or something...I gotta go...If I can I'll try to stop by later."
He looked down at me ending the call and apologized.
"I'm sorry...that was my cousin Brandan....he wanted help on putting a lift on his truck." Leo sighed.
"It's ok...if you need to go you can drop me off at the manor and help him." I offered. My head was being logical and understanding....if he needed to go...he needed to go it was as simple as that, now only if my heart would agree.
"Well...if your up to it I could take you with me over there." Leo offered
" Sure I'd really like to see how that's done." I smiled as we got up and walked to the truck.
