He had a gray shirt on that set off the green in his eyes and he just looked handsome as ever. I still wondered how it was going to go once he was in school with tons of gorgeous girls swarming him. But he didn’t seem to react to the ones who were here in the church, so I had some hope.
I sat there as we ate lunch and my heart did a double jump as I realized once again that I had agreed to go with him and Troy and Josie to some kind of plantation. I saw Troy giving Josie eyes, but I didn’t know whether or not I had just agreed to a double date or was it just a group of friends. I wasn’t going to assume either way. Besides, school started tomorrow and I needed to focus on that. Getting good grades and trying to get into college or something were my first priorities.
We got home and I was tired and Aunt Brenda went to her room to t ake a nap. I decided to lie in the hammock that I saw last week when I was mowing the grass. I bal anced myself on the edge, sat down and then tried to ste althily lie down and swu ng my legs up at the same time. Once I was settled in I folded my arms across my chest and let myself dream.
I woke up later to the phone ringing. I had brought the cordless phone out with me with every intention of calling my mom, but I had forgotten. I answered with a scratchy ‘Hello’
A quiet voice answered me back. ‘Remi, it’s Josie.”
I sat up and near ly busted my rear end as I sat up and there was almost a meeting between my face and the grass .
“Hey Josie, what’s up?”
“I was wondering if you’d want to come over and watch a movie about six. It’s our last day of summer!”
“Yeah, ok, where do you live?”
“You know where Cooper’s Dad lives?” she asked.
“Maybe.” That made her go into a giggle fit.
“Yeah well I live across the street in t he brick house with the LSU flag outside.”
“I have no idea where he lives Josie!”
She giggled some more. “ Yeah, ok, s o you at six.” And then she hung up.
I got up and stretched and walked back into the house and change d into some jeans and a tank top. All of the sudden I was worried about what I wore and how my hair looked . Oh, what had become of me?
I wore my hair down, slipped on some flops and told Aunt Brenda where I was going. She gave me her cell phone before I left and told me to call if I needed her. She said she was going to call her cell phone company tomorrow about getting me a phone for myself. I argued, but lost as usual.
I put the phone in my back pocket and started towards Cooper…um…Josie’s house. I walked down the street and crossed the street t o the other side before I made my way down towar ds her house. I did not want to walk directly in fron t of his house and then cross, no way .
I got almost to her house and I looked over and saw Cooper and Troy as they played basketball…shirtless. Cooper wasn’t very good at it from what I saw . He wasn’t chiseled by any stretch but dang the boy was fine and his basketball shorts were right at his hip s and those muscles above them were showing and what a sight they were . I made myself look towards Josie’s house trying to play cool.
I was hit in the mout h before I knew what was coming but I could hear the bouncing of the basketball after the impact. Then as I touched my lip, I winced and my fingers came back with a little blood on them.
