the door and walk outside. I take a deep breath. My head is spinning, I look around. What does this guy see in me? I mean I see so many good qualities about him, but I just don’t get why he is trying to start a relationship with me, I'm so average compared to him. Then I remember that he told me he is just trying to be a normal guy. I smile at the thought.
“Don’t worry Em, I will handle it, I don’t mind.” He walks out on the porch behind me. I turn and face him and lean back against the railing. The sun is shining on him and I just admire the view. He is so good looking. I would love to kiss him. That reminds me of what he said in the living room. Why didn’t he kiss me? Is he really scared I will get mad at him? He laughs, “Sure I will see if I can get you and Andy tickets to the game.” He looks at me and smiles. “Listen Em, I have to go I will give you a call later. Love you.” He hangs up, “Sorry, my sister.”
“I figured,” I smile.
“I'm actually surprised she is the only one that has called me. This crap with my dad has everyone pissed off right now. My oldest brother John is down there with my lawyer trying to get it figured out.”
“If you have family stuff to figure out I can leave,” I say without thinking about it.
“Do you want to leave?” He looks at me.
“Only if you have things to take care of, that is all I meant. It sounds like this is a big issue.”
“That is what I pay my lawyer for; he will take care of it. I have faith that once the company hears what he has to say they will get the issue figured out.”
“So what does the rest of your family do?”
He laughs, “You want to talk about my family?”
“Well you seem to care a lot about them, and I am curious.”
He walks up to me and moves a piece of hair out of my face, and looks at me, “why don’t we talk about you? We spent all lunch talking about me.”
“You know about my family, I only have one brother, and he owns a restaurant. You met my mom, who is, well interesting.”
“What about your dad?”
I look up at him, “oh yeah, um I have a step dad, his name is John.”
“Step dad?”
“Yeah, my real dad is kind of a douche bag. I haven’t seen him since I was twelve. He never was a part of my life really. Came around when it was convenient for him. My mom and he got divorced when I was two.”
“I'm sorry,” he rubs my arm. It sends those butterflies in my stomach soaring again. And there it is, that blush. DAMMIT! He smiles a little at me, “I really am sorry about that, I wasn’t trying to, I promise.”
I look up and him and see that gorgeous smile and can’t help but want him to kiss me. “Kiss me,” I say without even thinking.
He looks shocked, “Really?”
I don’t answer but nod my head. I feel his hand move from my arm to the back of my head and he leans down and kisses me. It is like and electric shock goes through me. I put my hands up to his cheeks and kiss him back. It is almost like I needed this to make me realize how much I really do like him.
He backs away and leans his forehead against mine but doesn’t let go of me. I put my hands on the railing behind me to support myself because I feel like I am going to collapse. “Wow!” is all I hear him say as he just stands there.
“Ditto,” I giggle.
He picks his head up and smiles, but this time it is a different smile. A younger smile. And even cuter then his heart stopping one. “This is crazy, isn’t it?”
“What is?” I ask sort of panic as he moves out from in front of me and to the railing. I turn sideway so that I can still see him.
“This,” he points his finger back and forth between him and I.
“It could be, but then again maybe it happened for a reason. I mean they always say things happen for a reason. Maybe Annie had a sixth sense,” I cringe at the thought of that, because I never believe in that kind
