to go in for the kill, I really did, but the
better part of me convinced myself otherwise. "Are you gonna answer?"
I whispered.
Her
expression turned solemn and I almost regretted asking her, but then she
started to speak. "I'm gonna be here for quite some time. You know it's
getting pretty late, I think maybe I should start heading back."
My heart
dropped. I didn't want our time together to end. It was nice hanging out with
somebody. Especially someone who didn't expect anything from you, or who just
wanted to sleep with you. It was refreshing. She was refreshing.
"I'm
sorry, KJ. I didn't mean to pry."
"No,
it's okay. I'm just starting to get real tired. I had to take some pain
medicine earlier and it's starting to kick my ass. I had fun though. It was
real nice gettin' to know ya, Madison."
"Well
at least you left out the disdain this time when you said my name." I
smiled down at her and then stood. I brushed my hands on my pants just before
reaching out to take her hand and help her up. She stared at me questioningly,
but reached for my hands. When I pulled her up, she stumbled forward, catching
herself as she placed her hands against my chest. I watched, as her eyes grew
large once she saw the closeness of our bodies to one another.
I
wrapped my calloused hands around hers and gently pushed her back a little bit.
I could feel her body humming, just as mine was, but I couldn't do anything
about it. I wanted this girl, in more ways than one, but I didn't want to be
another person in her life to disappoint her when I left. I'm pretty sure this
girl has had enough disappointment to last her for quite awhile.
"Where
did your name come from?" Her voice was heavenly and when she spoke in a
low tone like that, it was all I could hear.
"It
was my mother's maiden name. They thought they were having a girl, but kept it
even when they found out I was a boy."
We
smiled at one another out there in the middle of an open grass field, the
tension building between us. I couldn't tear my eyes away from hers and when I
knew I needed to let her go, I needed a promise of tomorrow. I knew it was
selfish of me, but if I only had two days left being this close to her, I
wanted to take full advantage of it.
"Do
you need me to walk you down the hill?" I asked.
"No,
I think I'll be okay. Will I get to see you again?"
I wasn't
expecting her to ask, let alone actually spend time with her, but it was
definitely a good surprise. "Sure. What are you doin' tomorrow around
noon?" I let a sly smile touch my lips, wondering if she would remember my
favorite time of day.
"Noon
should work. Whatcha wanna do at your favorite time of day?"
"Let's
meet up here again and we can pick up where we are leavin' it for
tonight?"
"That's
sounds good. I'll see you tomorrow Madison Raine." She stood on her tiptoes
and gently pressed her moist lips to my cheek. I let my eyes flutter shut as
the need to touch her grew to epic proportions. When she pulled away, my eyes
were glossed over in a daze. I smiled and turned to walk away. If I didn't walk
away now, I knew I wasn't ever going to be able to.
"Tomorrow."
I shouted.
I slowly
started walking backwards as I watched her perfect figure disappear into the
night. When I could no longer see her, I turned and ran all the way back to the
house. And I thought the next two days were going to be some of the most boring
days of my life. Boy, was I wrong.
When I
reached the unlit porch, I remained quiet as to not wake my grandparents. All
the lights were off inside the house and out, so I assumed I was good as gold.
When the
front porch light flipped on, I almost had a heart attack as I caught sight of
my grandfather's half asleep pajama covered body sitting in the chair at the
end of the porch.
"Sir,
I-"
"I
thought I made myself clear when I said to stay out of that family's business.
Did I not?"
"No
Sir, you did."
"So
ya mind explainin' to me what the heck you were thinkin', or is that just it,
you weren't?"
I
better part of me convinced myself otherwise. "Are you gonna answer?"
I whispered.

expression turned solemn and I almost regretted asking her, but then she
