I am so sorry for te long hiatus! (spelling?) I have been so busy with softball and life in general that everytime I sat down to write all I came up with is major writers block. I also went back and read one of my favorite series on FF called Timeless1-18 by jakesgirl1001. Sadly she is no longer posting stories that is to my knowledge. They are truely amazing stories. but thats enough about me :D Enjoy R&R!

Chapter 19

Ross and I walked around the fair together. It was awkward at first because I don't think we knew what to say to each other. I didn't want to bring up anything that went on in the past couple days, especially the shirt thing. Then I thought of something.

"I thought you weren't supposed to be babysitting us HARP girls," I teased, hoping he could see the humor in my eyes.

I saw it reflected in his eyes. "Just so happens, I like babysitting."

I was shocked at that statement. "Well then it's too bad I'm not really a baby."

He snorted and smiled. "You asked me to come with you."

"I didn't think you'd say yes, but I'm glad you did," I said blushing and looking away from him.

"I'm happy I did too," He murmured, but loud enough so I could hear. This answer shocked me completely and I had to catch my breath due to my increased heart rate.

I froze and stood there for what seemed like forever trying to control my thoughts. "Oh," was all I could say at the moment. There was something in his eyes that was difficult to understand. I had never seen that emotion before in anyone's eyes before this moment.

Could it be…love? No I didn't think so, I mean he couldn't, could he? I knew I felt so immensely for him but did I love him too? I had never felt this way before either.

I hadn't realized I was gazing into his eyes until he blushed. I smiled and blushed too looking down and my feet and rubbing the tip of my shoe in the dirt.

"Ross, you did a really nice job fixin' the truck," I said gazing up at him.

He blushed and I smiled at him.

"I'm tellin' you the truth. It purrs like a kitten now," I said trying to change the subject.

"Nothin'," he said.

"It is not nothin'. I wish I could do that like not have to worry about getting stuck in the middle of nowhere," but one thought crossed my mind as I said that sentence.

Unless you were stuck somewhere with him.

Shut up sub-conscience voice in my head. I do not.

Do too.

Do not.

Yeah hu.

Not uh.

Fine then just admit you like him.

Okay but that's all I will admit to.

Shhhh he's talking again.

"I could teach you the basics," he said. "It's not that hard."

"Yeah? Well I guess if you were there it wouldn't be that hard. But maybe next time I'm…," That's when some guy bumped into me spilling his drink all over my shirt.

"Sorry, I didn't see you there," I said to him trying to be polite.

But he talked over me, "Aye, looky here boys. We found the winner of the wet T-shirt contest," he slurred as he and his friends ogled me.

Why is it that where ever I go some guy just has to come in and ruin it? I let the pain show in my eyes for only a second then blanking out my expression and smiling. Ross moved to step in front of me but I stopped him.

"Oh thanks," I said, "but I thought you would have won. I mean, you have bigger boobs than I do." I flashed him and innocent smile and slowly grabbed his friends drink and poured it all over his head. "See I was right. What are you a 38d?" as it dripped down is shirt.

Ross quickly pulled me away, putting on the speed as we made our get away. Once a safe distance away Ross whispered into my ear, "Moobs."

I looked at him dumbfounded, "What?"

"What you call man boobs. Moobs."

I burst out laughing! "You're kidding right?"

He chuckled and smiled his brilliant smile. "Nah. But do you, uh, want my shirt?"

I looked down at my shirt and saw that you could see my bright green bra. "Oh. What you don't like it?" I said with a smirk.

He blushed and took a look down at my shirt and blushed darker. Was it me or did it seem like it was getting hotter by the second?

He took off his own shirt and handed it to me. "Here. Go change."

"Thanks." His white undershirt hugged his chest and his arms bulged as he handed me his shirt. My eyes lingered on his chest, imagining them around me.

"Bathrooms that way," he said pointing around the corner and pulling me out of my trance.

"Oh right, thanks," I said not making eye contact.

I walked away from Ross and changed into his shirt. It was way too big for me but I liked it anyway. It was a red button up.

I got out of the bathroom and tried to find my way back to Ross. I wandered around and passed the Ferris wheel and a bunch of games that I knew I wanted to try with Ross if I could ever find him. How could a guy so tall get lost in a sea of people?

Finally I found him. But the only reason I recognized him was because I saw was the profile of his chiseled jaw line and cheek bones, tan from work in the sun. I maneuvered my way to him from behind and that's when I saw his behind and his hard thighs. I had to stop thinking of him this way it wouldn't work, it couldn't. I would be leaving in a few days and there's just no way.

I made my way to him and he smiled at me.

I returned the favor. "It's a little big," I said looking down at my shirt.

"Looks better on you anyway," he said as he led me toward the rides.

My eyes traveled toward the Ferris wheel.

"Will you go on that with me?" he said pointing to it.

"Sure," I smiled up at him and brushed my hand against his as we strode to it.

Moobs. lol My new favorite word well actually that and craphole because I called a friend that once because he was being mad annoying. Fun fact of the day to day is that I might have a hearing problem because one time a friend was taking about an author named H.P. Lovecraft and I thought she had said H.P. Buttcrack whoops on my part loll well anyway Please dont forget to review! It helps me write faster and it doesnt even have to be an actuall review it can be a comment on my lack of hearing abilities or concern or a question you have to ask. But i leave you with this riddle to ponder on "What can go up a chimney down but cant go down a chimney up?" think about it and get back to me. I will post it until someone getts it right. :D R&R
