Don’t tell
Kaleb or Felix I said anything. I think Felix is a little sore on the subject,”
Demona said.
    “My
lips are sealed. Now we need to find shoes.” Hannah said.
    They
made their way to the shoe aisle and Hannah grabbed a pair of dark brown cowboy
boots. “These will look perfect with that dress!”
    “Okay,
I’ll try them on.”
    “So,
you must have really liked him.”
    Demona
slid her feet into the boots. “Yeah, it was strange. From the moment I saw him
and every moment since he has been on my mind… You are right. These boots are
cute!” It’s nice having a friend who
actually asks me questions, for once.
    “It
sounds intense. I mean you have only known him for like two days,” Hannah said.
    “I
know! I can’t remember ever feeling this way. But, I’m nervous for so many
reasons too. I’m really afraid to open up to him. It’s all way too scary!”
Demona said.
    “Well,
I hope it all works out. Felix seems like a really nice guy. I know you need a
good guy by your side. You have always been alone since I have known you. It’s
nice to see you smile for once.”
    “It’s
a nice change. And he seems really nice. How’s Kaleb?”
    “Actually,
he called me last night after he got in from dropping us off. We talked for
about two hours. He said he’d call me again tonight.   Now, I just need to wait until he asks me out
again.”
    “I’m
sure he’ll ask you when you talk tonight!” Demona went to the cash register to
pay for her items.

    Demona
was so excited that she waited outside the building for Felix to show up. His
car pulled into the parking lot and he exited the car. As he walked towards her
Demona thought she noticed a skip in his step. He smiled at her and she could
not help but return one as well.
    “Hello,”
Felix said.
    “Hey,”
Demona said.
    “You
look amazing.”
    Demona
looked at her feet. “Thanks. So do you.”
    “Should
we walk?”
    “Sure,
this way.”
    Demona
directed them toward the path which led away from the apartment building. They
walked along the winding dirt trail. A gentle breeze tugged at Demona’s long
flowing hair and the scent of spring engulfed her as they made their way
through the park. The trees shone in the sunlight and blossoms popped with
color against the green backdrop.
    “What’s
your favorite band?” Felix asked.
    “So,
we’re doing this?”
    “Doing
what?”
    “The
normal date chitchat.” Demona giggled. “Hmmm…I would have to say, Muse.”
    “They
are pretty good.”
    “How
about yours?”
    “You
are going to laugh,” Felix said, “Iron Maiden.”
    “A
metal head, huh?”
    Felix
held up the metal sign and did a fake head bang. “Yeah!”
    Demona
giggled. “Well, at least we both know that good music comes from England.” She
watched a group of joggers ran past them in the opposite direction. “What about
hobbies? We can’t forget about those.”
    “I’m
actually a musician,” Felix said, “I play guitar.”
    “Really!
That’s awesome,” Demona said.
    “My
sister, Rowena, she’s pretty cool. She lets me live with her while I attempt to
pursue the rock star dream. I don’t know what I would do without her.”
    “It
sounds like you have a great relationship.”
    “We
do. My parents are great too. I miss them, being so far from them is hard
sometimes. But Rowena is like a second Mom.”
    Demona
gripped her arm as she listened to Felix talk about his family. “You’re lucky.”
    “Yeah,
I am.
    They
continued walking through the park. The nicely manicured park held many
variations of flowers. The spring day was revitalizing.
    “I
wish I knew my family,” Demona said.
    “I’m
sorry. I didn’t think. It must be hard,” Felix said.
    “I
think the hardest part is not knowing anything about my parents. And I don’t
have many memories of the foster homes. I guess most of it was forgetful.”
    “It
couldn’t have been easy going through that.”
    “Yeah.
Some families were okay, but we
