Sorry this took so long but I was super busy with the holidays and then I totally forgot about the story but then this morning I got a review telling me to post and it hit me. OMG I HAVEN'T POSTED IN FOREVER! So thanks to Sue () here is another chapter. Cheers!
Madeline sighed, she sat on her bed in the Inn and sorted through her clothes. She had nothing to wear, Shawn was supposed to pick her up in less then an hour and she wasn't even dressed. She had decorated the suite's floor with clothes that were rejected. She debated over her last resort. Staring at the phone she listened to the war going on in her head. I can't just ask for clothes. But she wouldn't mind. I know and so it would be way too easy, I'd have nothing to repay her with. Her debate was interupted by a knock on the door. She went over and opened the door, of course, it was Katie. Somehow Madeline was sure that Katie had sensed Madeline's need for her. "Hi," Madeline sighed.
"Don't sound so happy to see me." Katie teased and walked inside. "So...exicited?" Katie asked smiling. She wasn't positive if she was so confident in Shawn dating her friend. He hadn't shown the best behavior with girls and had a tendence to break hearts.
"I don't know." Madeline flopped back onto the bed and sighed openly. "I have absolutely nothing to wear." she complained and heard a racket outside, she went over to the window and saw a group of rich fansy teenagers driving by in a cute sports car. Madeline rolled her eyes and moaned. "I hate rich people, they are so stuck up and rude." Madeline said closing the window's even though it was extremely hot and humid. Katie sat there quietly and said nothing. Madeline looked over at Katie, "You ok?" She asked. Katie nodded.
"You know you could borrow something of mine." Katie offered. Madeline giggled at the timing and fact that Katie had practically read her wishful mind. "I'll go pick something cute out." Katie said left for just a moment. Returning only minutes later, Katie had an armsful of shirts and bottoms. Together they sorted through the pile, finally settling on darkwash denim capris and a tight gray collered 3/4 sleeved botton-up shirt with a blue cami under it. Madeline pulled her straightened hair up in a high ponytail and added light make-up. By 7 Madeline was standing infront of the mirror smiling.
Madeline went to the bathroom to primp and was brushing her teeth when there was a knock heard on the door. Madeline looked at the clock. "It's only 7:05, who could that be?" She called out to where Katie was sitting. Katie rolled her eyes.
"My brother duh, isn't he supposed to pick you up at 7?" She said.
"Yeah, what kind of date actually comes on time. We really need to teach that boy how to date a girl like me." Madeline said and came back out of the bathroom, slipping on a wet towel and falling on her butt. "Damn." She muttered as she got up and went to open the door. She smiled as she saw Shawn standing there in the hallway looking nervous. Madeline waved goodbye to Katie who sat on Madelines bed drawling and Shawn took her hand and they left. Madeline and Shawn walked out of the inn and it wasn't until they were away from their families when Madeline struck up a conversation. "So what are we going to do tonight?" she asked looking up at him.
"Well, I thought we could have a picnic. By the lake." He answered as he raised the picnic basket in his other hand.
"There's a lake?" She asked not being local.
"Yup, I love it. It's the best place in town." He said and smiled.
"That must be hard to beat, in this exciting southern town in Georgia." Madeline said sarcastically.
"Hey, it's not much of a town, but it's home." He said. "And it's a really pretty view." He added.
"Your trying really hard aren't you." Madeline said.
"Oh yeah, I'm not going to mess this up." He assured her.
"Why? I'm not that big of a deal, I'm just a 13 year old girl from Maryland." She said.
"So?" He asked.
"So? So, why are you so into me." She wanted to know.
"Your pretty and funny." He said not looking at her. "Is that so surprising that I'm into you. Your cute."
"I wasn't digging for compliments. I just wanted to let you know I'm not that great." She said blushing.
"We're here." He said and then walked forward to where a clearing was made in the wooded area and a clear lake was shimmering in the moon light. Shawn smiled and held out his arms, showing the great sight. "Welcome to my little corner of the world. Heaven." He said with a smile. He set up a blanket and dinner was served.
An hour later, both Madeline and Shawn were gazing up at the star filled sky laying on their backs. Shawn yawned and stretched his arm around her. Madeline laughed and turned to face him. "Wow, smooth one Romeo." she said through a giggle but didn't resist his arm.
"Sorry." He said shyly and blushed. She giggled at his embarrassment and he pulled his arm away.
"You don't have to move." She said and scooted closer to him. He smiled and they gazed up at the sky.
"Your blue eyes sure do put these Georgia stars to shame." He said.
Madeline laughed. "Wow, Um, isn't that from a song?" She said and laughed. "And...Shawn, my eyes are green." She added. He blushed.
"Sorry, I was um, trying to hard I guess." He said and got shy acting again.
"You know what I don't get?" She asked and didn't wait for his answer. "You acted so confident before and now, you aren't acting like that anymore. Your so much more shy." She said. "Why?"
"I don't know." He said. "I guess, it's just that now that you actually seem to like me, it makes me a bit nervous." He said and blushed. Madeline smiled.
"That's really sweet, that I can make you nervous." She said and leaned over to where he was laying, she placed a hand on his cheek and kissed him softly on the lips. Pulling away they both smiled.
