According to Her- Chapter 2
(Sorry for the note, but please review the story. Thanx! )
It took fifteen minutes to drive her silver Ford into the Appleby Mall. She saw Chad's red sports car one lane over. She walked over to where he was. Chad was a very handsome seventeen year old guy. He had shaggy, black hair cascading over his almond colored eyes. He also had the brightest smile Lindsey had ever seen. Tonight, Chad was wearing his sneakers, jeans, and Rolling Stones long-sleeved shirt. She smiled warmly as they walked hand in hand into the Appleby Mall.
Lindsey smiled as she took it all in. She and Chad had just finished shopping. She had bought a cute pink hat and a pair of white sunglasses, both of which would come in handy for the sweltering summer sun. Chad had gotten a New York Yankees, his favorite baseball team, cap. Now, they were at McDonald's. Lindsey ordered a cheeseburger, fry, and a medium coke. Chad ordered the same. They got their food and sat down. There weren't many people in there tonight, maybe a few. Lindsey was starving and the food smelled delicious.
"So how was your day?" Chad asked her.
"Pretty good so far", Lindsey smiled up at him.
"Well, it's about to get better", Chad flirted with her, and took her hand. Then, they shared a kiss which lasted about fifteen seconds.
"I love you", he whispered softly in her ear.
"I love you, too", Lindsey whispered back. The two quickly devoured their food and walked to Chad's sports car. They kissed once again. They returned to the mall in about ten minutes. Lindsey said goodbye and climbed into her truck.
"Hi, dad!" Lindsey said when she walked in.
"Hi, baby." Richard said back, "Your friend called a few minutes ago, and said she was coming over."
"Okay", Lindsey said. As soon as she said that, Lindsey's friend, Michelle, burst in.
"Hi!" Michelle exclaimed as she came in. Michelle had fiery, red hair and deep, dark brown eyes. Tonight, she had on a pink tank top and black Capri's.
"Hey, what's up?" Lindsey asked curiously. She knew something was going on when Michelle forgot to ring the doorbell.
"Um, I just wanted to ask your dad if I could spend the night." Michelle looked at Richard. Richard smiled at her, and answered yes.
"Thanks." Michelle returned the smile. Richard liked Michelle. He thought she was a good example for Lindsey. Michelle made excellent grades like Lindsey. The two grabbed a Twinkie and hurried upstairs to Lindsey's bedroom, the usual spot where they hung out.
"I absolutely love your room!" Michelle gushed, as she stepped into Lindsey's room. Lindsey had to admit, it was pretty cool. The walls were a dull, lime green. She had dark, green curtains hung on her windows. Her bed had white sheets on it with an Aerosmith comforter on it. The windows were open slightly, and a cool, summer night breeze softly drifted in, making the curtains billow faintly.
Lindsey gently pushed the door closed, and sat on her bed. "So what did you want to talk about?" Lindsey asked. Michelle knew that Lindsey knew something was going on.
"Oh yeah, I wanted to tell you I met this guy today at the surf shack…" Michelle started, "He's really cute and junk. He has the curly blond hair and blue eyes." Michelle took a bite of her Twinkie.
"That's nice; I hope he treats you nice." Lindsey smiled half-heartedly. Deep down though, she wanted to meet him.
"What are you talking about?" Michelle frowned, "I don't go out with him, and he wants to talk to you."
"Really?" Lindsey asked, shocked, "Does he know me?"
"Yes!" Michelle replied, "Sorry, but I forgot his name."
Lindsey stared up at the ceiling that night looking for designs. This was something she and her dad used to do when Lindsey was five in order to get her to go to sleep. They would depict out dogs, flowers, even monkeys. Now, Lindsey was busy picking out a rabbit. She couldn't fall asleep right now; a thought lay heavily on her brain. On the floor, she could hear Michelle breathing softly in her sleep.
Lindsey couldn't decide what to do. She really wanted to meet this guy Michelle was describing, but yet, she was still falling for Chad. She finally decided to go see this guy tomorrow at the Surf Shack, just to say hello. With a sigh, Lindsey rolled over and went to sleep.
