Beverleyd: Yeah I kind of wanted them to have a connection the first time they met. In this chapter, it kind of shows that connection a little more. Trust me they will know each other before, any "LOVING" will be going on. In the next chapter, they will start to be come friends, but, it will be a couple of chapters before they realize that they like each other. Thank you for the review and hopefully it will be good in the next couple of chapters too.
Yeah this chapter was kind of slow, but I wanted to get Amy meeting the rest of the family out of the way. Enjoy, and don't forget to review. I have to know if this story is good enough to continue.
Looking at her reflection, Amy pulled her hair back into a pony tail. Everyone had been so nice to her so far, and she still had to meet four more people. Sighing, she went and sat on the bed. Pulling open her suite case, Amy started putting away her clothes. Amy couldn't help but think how nice Bradin was being for letting her have his room for the summer. He was pretty cute, she guessed, but he reminded her of all those pretty boys she saw back home. The ones who were into the really tall, skinny blondes. Setting the rest of his clothes in the draw, she turned back to the mirror. Turning sideways, Amy put her hand on her stomach. So she wasn't skin thin, but, who cared? Shaking her head Amy turned back to her suite case. No, Amy wasn't into eating light to be light, and she wasn't going to start now. Closing her suite case, she placed it beside the bed. Slowly she walked to the door. If she was going to do it, she better do it now. Amy was about to open the door when someone knocked. A little scared, Amy slowly opened the door.
·······································
"Aunt Ava can I please go get her?" Nikki Westerly was begging her aunt to go get Amy. So, yeah, she may sound a little childish, but, this was the first time Nikki had had someone close to her age in the house. So, she was following her aunt around the kitchen while she was setting the table, begging.
"Nikki, I know you're excited about Amy being here, but we don't want to scare the poor girl." Nikki finally gave up following her aunt and leaned on the fridge.
"What better way to make her welcome then by her meeting someone her own age?" Nikki smiled, as Bradin walked into the kitchen.
"Aunt Ava, jus let Nikki go. I'm sure Amy want mind it." Nikki looked at her aunt pleadingly, and smiled when she nodded her head. Quickly making her way out of the kitchen, she accidentally bumped into Johnny.
"Whoa kiddo, slow down there." Johnny said.
"Sorry Johnny." Nikki yelled from behind her shoulder as she made her way to Bradin's room. Stopping in front of the door, Nikki took a deep breath, and then knocked. Waiting patiently as the door opened, Nikki was greeted by a girl of about her height. Smiling, Nikki took Amy's hand and in a friendly hand shake.
"Hi you must be Amy. I'm Bradin's sister Nikki." Nikki could tell Amy was a little taken a back, but she smiled friendly and returned the hand shake.
"Nikki, it's very nice to meet you." Smiling, Nikki lead Amy into the kitchen.
·······································
Amy was a little shocked that Nikki had actually came and greeted her like that. Amy had to admit, it was kind of nice. Amy had been introduced to the rest of the, well family, and they were all sitting around the table eating. Every once in a while she would glance up to study the people around her. It was weird, but Amy could tell how all these people fit together. They were different of course, but that's what made them each perfect for each other. It hit Amy, that this was how her family use to eat dinner, all laughing and smiling. Amy was kind of glad that there were families that still sat around a dinner table like this. Smiling, Amy turned her attention back to the conversation.
"So Cameron and I were sitting at a booth in the Pizza Palace, and a man tripped and spilled a half a coke into Cameron's lap. It was so funny!" Amy joined in with the rest laughing, and felt herself having a really good time.
"So, Amy where are you from?" The question came from Jay, and Amy was shocked she still remembered his name.
"I live currently in Arkansas, but who knows where we could end up leaving next. My dad moves us around a lot because he gets really good job offerings from customers." Amy replied. Looking back down at her plate, Amy felt a set of eyes on her. Looking up, she was met with Bradin's gaze. For a moment they just sat there looking at each other, and it made Amy uncomfortable. But, somehow it made her feel different. Not knowing what to do, she looked back down at her plate. That's when Bradin asked her another question.
"So is Arkansas your favorite place so far?" Looking back up, Amy met his eyes.
"Yeah I think it is. The thing about Arkansas is the way it makes me feel. The trees are as tall as giants, and the rivers and creeks are so cool in the summer. I really like the people, who always seem to be able to give you a smile. If I could I wouldn't move again, but who knows what my father will do." Shaking her shoulders, she glanced around the table. She caught Nikki smiling at her, and Ava nodding her head. Jay was also smiling at her, and Susanna was the first one to speak up.
"That was very well said Amy, very well said." The conversation continued around the table, but Amy felt herself not being able to focus on it. Every now and then, she would look up and catch Bradin watching her.
