Son Ange- He isn't suppose to be the most pleasant person, but thank you for noticing.
LoneWolf2005- Yay! New reader! Kuddos to you!
Maluruloki- Thank you for the kuddos! The other person (I didn't say it was his guardian) came in through a side door... the garage door, but I didn't mention that he had a garage, so I guess it's good that you asked!
Chapter 12- A Date With Josh
Annie waited outside the auditorium for Josh, who had to stay after to discuss something with Mr. Reyser. Jayden passed by her, without saying a word. She waved, and yelled a goodbye, but he acted as if she didn't even exist. She tried to shrug it off, but found she worried about him too much.
The door opened and Josh came out of the theater, throwing on his backpack as he walked. He spotted her and walked over. "You ready?" He asked.
"Absolutely." she said, smiling.
"Mademoiselle?" Josh said, offering her his arm. She giggled and linked his upper arm with hers hand and grabbed his bicep with her other hand. He escorted her out to his car where he opened the door for her as she slid into the front seat.
They drove out past the theaters to an old drive in movie, where he parked and they proceeded to the snack bar. After buying more sweets than they could handle they went back to the car and the movie started, which they ignored.
"So tell me about your family." Annie said, sipping her coke.
"I live with my father and my two brothers. I'm the middle child. My older brother is away at college right now and my younger brother is a freshman at our high school this year."
"That's nice."
"Tell me about your family." Josh requested.
"I'm an only child, but I live with my grandparents. My mother died in a car wreck when I was three months old and my father died three years ago of cancer. My aunt, Genevieve lives with us with her son, Ron, who is a year older than me."
"I'm sorry about your parents. I knew your father." Josh smiled at her, affectionately. "He was a good man."
Annie smiled back at him. "How did you know my father?"
"He used to play at a country club that my father belongs to. I think I met you once there."
Annie concentrated. "Oh, yes I remember now." She giggled. "You were the little boy who slipped on the ice and fell on top of me."
Josh blushed. "Yeah… I had forgotten about that."
They laughed together. Annie's burger lay in the bag untouched. "Is there something wrong with your burger?" Josh asked, truly concerned.
Annie looked down at it. "No." she said. "I just forgot it was there." It was her turn to blush.
"You know," He said, "You have the cutest cheeks." She looked at him, strangely. "I mean that you have these perfect high cheek bones, and this beautiful pink rose color in them." She blushed again. He put his hand to her cheek, pulling her close to him. "It's amazing…" He said, and she pressed her lips to his.
Jayden slammed his hands down on the steering wheel of his car. "Damn him!" He raged aloud. He watched through the window, as she pulled him closer to her and kissed him again. "Damn you both!" He raved the engine and drove off.
Oooooo... what is Jayden going to do!
Seriously, if you figure it out, let me know!
