In the Mind of Misty by Lisa Powell Page A

comfortable that’s all,” and Mark saw her glance at Vince.
    “ Don’t worry about him. Many want, but few get,” Mark laughed.
    Misty just rolled her eyes . “Quit just quit. I am going home.”
    “ Suit yourself, old maid.” Kimmy replied.
    “ Funny, funny,” Misty replied. She turned and left. She got to the car then she heard
    “ Misty?” She turned around slowly and it was Vince. She almost had a heart attack.
    “ Leaving so soon?”
    Misty could hardly speak . “Um yeah not much of a party person,” she let out a nervous laugh. She saw top of a scar on his chest. And she started to freak out even more.
    “ To bad I would like to get to know you better,” he smiled and walked up closer.
    Misty backed up until she hit the car. “Maybe another time,” she quickly said and got in.
    “ Another time then,” he smiled. Remembering her from last night and the way she looked. He wanted to get to no her. He asked around for her name but no one really knew. When he saw her come in tonight, his heart started to race. She was so beautiful. He asked Mark to introduce them. Mark was more than glad to. And now she is running away.
    Misty started the car and left. Her heart was pounding so fast it almost came out her chest. When she got home the first thing she done was threw that dress away. She wanted nothing to do with her fantasy or with Vince. When Kimmy got home first thing she done was woke up Misty.
    “ You won’t believe it Misty you won’t believe it.” She sounded excited.
    “ Believe what Kimmy,” Misty said sleepily.
    “ Vince, he was asking about you!” Kimmy looked at her.
    Misty ’s jaw dropped. “I, I want nothing to do with him,” she looked at Kimmy.
    “ Come on Misty he is every girls dream.”
    “ In my dream he tried to kill me!” Misty cried.
    “ Come on you know what I mean Misty.” Kimmy looked at her.
    “ I know exactly what you mean Kimmy. And I dreamt that for a reason. Stay away from him or you will get hurt. And I tend to do that. So leave me alone Kimmy.” Misty started getting upset with Kimmy.
    “ Well he is coming over here tomorrow with Mark to see you.” Kimmy looked at her.
    Misty gasps . “How could you Kimmy! How could you after what I told you and the dream I had! How could you do this to me!” she shouted.
    The two girls started to argue and they woke up their parents. Soon everyone was awake and did they get into trouble. Misty ’s parents told her it was time she found her own place. She had a good job now and they knew she had plenty saved up for one.
    Misty was going crazy. Her dream was happen ing but only in different ways. Misty started looking for places but they either were too big or too far out. She was getting discussed. But she kept looking. She still was working a lot and Kimmy would tell her Vince asked about her a couple of times. But Misty acted like she didn’t care. But when she saw him her heart started to flutter. She would see him on the street or with Mark but she never stopped to say anything. Mark told Kimmy that Misty was acting stuck up and wanted to know what her problem was. Kimmy said she would talk to her.
    Kimmy told Mark Misty was sorry. She didn ’t mean to act stuck up, she just had a lot on her mind. So to make things up to prove Misty wasn’t stuck up Kimmy talked Misty into going to another party. Misty wore button down shirt and jeans. Kimmy just shook her head. “Can’t you find something better than that?”
    “ Want me to go or not?” Misty snapped.
    “ Okay, okay Misty suit yourself.”
    They got to the party and Misty relaxed a little when she didn ’t see Vince. He was there. He was outside. He saw Misty and he watched her. She didn’t look too happy. She didn’t seem like she was having fun. He watched her step out the back to get some fresh air and he went to find her. He saw her leaning up against the corner of the building.
    He walked up to her quietly . “Misty,” he said softly.
    She jumped
