As I was helping Aunt Esther and Sarah with the dishes someone knocked on the door and David went to answer it. "Sarah, Jack's here," David called from the living room. Sarah pulled me with her, "come on, I want you to meet him," she smiled.
"Jack," Sarah hugged him and he kissed her cheek. "I want you to meet my cousin. Jack this is Joyce, Joyce this is Jack," Sarah introduced. Suddenly I found the floor very interesting. Hmm, it was a nice shade of brown, not to dirty, it could use some...I was bolted out of my thoughts to feel Jack kiss my hand. I quickly pulled my hand away, my face turning a deep shade of red.
He smiled genuinely. "It's nice to meet you Joyce."
"Joy. Please call me Joy," I finally found my voice.
Jack stayed an hour or so, and then said he had to leave since it was getting late. I was still a little nervous being around him, but he was so nice, asking me things about my life back home, that I was starting to feel relaxed.
It was almost 10pm and Sarah, David and I were the only ones up, and decided we better get some shut eye. As I lay in bed thinking of my first day here, it really wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. I met my relatives, who treated me as if I were one of their own children, my cousins were great, and then there was Jack. I hadn't been in any relationships, so I wasn't an expert in the field, but I know I felt something. It felt like maybe he was another cousin to me, or perhaps a new brother. It was that kind of love that I was already beginning to feel for him and I think he had felt it to.
