close my eyes as I relax a bit more under his arm. Oh if he only knew what happened under the water.
Brennan
“Hey Jems, we’re running to the store, the fridge is empty, you want to come with?” Matt asks me when he grabs his wallet and keys from the box sitting by the front door in the living room.
“No. Thanks anyways. I’m going to try to get some of these boxes taken down today.” I answer unexcitedly. I’ve put this chore on hold for too long. They have been sitting in the corner of the living room for over two months now.
“K. I’ll pick up some of your favorite stuff for you okay?” He says with a smile.
I smile in return and decide to follow him out to the car. He gets in, closes the door and rolls down the window. “You can do me one favor though.” I say leaning against the door.
“Yeah, sure anything you need.” Matt replies.
Leaning on the door, I look over to Gabe who’s still pouting about losing his phone from last month. He got it back, but it did get slightly damaged in the water. “I need you to go to the phone store and pick up our new phones.” Gabe turns his neck to look me in the eyes.
“You’re serious?” his eyes gleam with excitement as he asks. I just smile and wink before pushing off the car and walking back. “Jenna!” I continue walking towards the house when suddenly I hear a door slam behind me. Gabe comes running up to me. “Was that a sick joke?”
I cock my head to the side, place my hands on my hips and raise my eyebrows. “Did it look like a sick joke to you?” He raises one side of his mouth up trying to hide his smile he usually saves for my eyes only. I bite my bottom lip. That smile always draws me in and he knows it.
“You did that on purpose that night didn’t you?” I simply shrug. “Why didn’t you tell anyone?”
“I mentioned it. I wanted a fresh start. No one listened” I smile up at him. He’s grinning from ear to ear. “Everyone’s phone is already pre-programmed with all the numbers that were in the old ones, except for mine.” I close my eyes shut. “I’m simply fulfilling another promise Will made me make. New house, new life, no old contacts. Well, except you guys and a few of my old girlfriends. No dealers, no guys, just us.” By this time, he has his arm resting at the base of my neck pulling me in for a hug.
“Don’t know how you do it Angel.” He kisses my forehead. “Tell you what. When I get home, I want you to help me delete the contacts on mine okay? Only family, and a few friends are all I need. A fresh start for all of us.” He says. I look up at him in surprise. I just can’t believe he would do that for me. He leans down when Matt honks the horn, kisses me on the cheek. “Thank you!” Coming back up, he smiles and winks before running back to the car.
As I unpack some boxes that we have marked “living room”, I come across a box of old pictures. Setting the albums new and old on the table in front of me I grab the one on the top and set it on my lap. I run my hand over the fabric covering the album and smile. I remember when Brennan and I collected pictures from the house we grew up in and kept them hidden so Dad wouldn't burn them. We turned it into a game of sorts, kind of like keep away. We had them hidden in the second to top step of the stairs until dad decided that he was going to fix the creak. Brennan had looked at me and I looked at him, then suddenly we were on our feet running towards the stairs to find a new spot. I tore open the back of the couch and slid them under there for a while. That didn’t last very long. One day Brennan and Matt were wrestling in the living room and Matt had body slammed Brennan onto the couch and out they slid. Instantly, I crawled behind to retrieve them all before taking them upstairs to my room and hid them between the bed and the box springs. We held them there for about a year until Brennan and dad came home with a new bedroom set for my tenth birthday.
