The American Boy

“See you tomorrow!” - I said after finishing my shift for the day. As I’m heading out thinking what to do next, I see my best mate waiting outside with a big smile on his face, but wondering what brings him here today, he was supposed to be with his family.

“Hey Tom, what brings you here?” - I put my head down to light up my cigarette.. “Day off so thought we could go to the park and enjoy the weather with others, Abby and the rest is there so are you down?”

I really wanted to head home but my life is boring as it is so, I guess I could go out maybe they got beers, I am definitely in the mood for a drink. We are almost there, for the whole journey he was talking about this girl he met recently online, I got a bad feeling about her but I will let him decide on his own.

“They sitting at the back near the benches” - Tom said as I snapped out of my deep thoughts about this boy.. the boy everyone is talking about, the boy that raises your heartbeat when you see him, and your eyes get lost in his beaut..

“Are you listening?!” - he shouts as I’m in my little world again “I’m sorry just thinking..” - I replied as we getting closer to everyone. It’s a beautiful weather, families are playing near the lake, birds are singing and all you can hear is people laughing and enjoying themselves but there is this one group of people that caught my eye, could that be?

“Hey babe! Long time, I’m glad you could make it” - Abby gives me a hug and hands me a cup of brandy with coke. “You exactly know what I need right now” - I smile while looking at the group I noticed earlier on, I try to see if I can see someone I know but they are too far so I gave up.

Two hours pass by and we still in the same place, I am really feeling this alcohol now especially when the weather is so hot. While everyone is talking about travelling and what places they would like to go, I noticed the group from earlier is walking towards us, and I think i spotted the boy.. yes the boy with beautifully tanned skin, eyes so dark you would never see his pupils, tall at least 6′5 feet and his hair was short but nice trimmed, and..

“Yo guys!” - one of the boys from the group shouted as we had loud music playing from the speaker. My eyes looked at everyone’s faces but only stopped on one person and that was him, the american boy everyone was talking about. My heart beats faster the longer i look at him, he noticed me looking at him but not knowing why there was something about him that made me want him and get to know him, but would he ever go for a girl like me? 5′7, blonde hair, blue eyes and well how can i say it, i got love handles and definitely not the girl with the perfect figure you see on instagram.

“Hello guys! come on, join in we got enough seats for everybody”- Abby said moving up to give some space, well i was right at the end and before i had a chance to move he sits by my side and gives a cheeky smile.

“I hope you don’t mind, I’m Star what’s your name shawty?” - he said while leaning back and licking his lips. So that is his name.. pretty unique but i like it, and the look on his face definitely made me feel some kind of way.

“My name is Quinn, its nice to meet you” - I say nervously while bouncing my leg, he looks down and places his hand on my thigh, my leg stopped shaking as soon as his touch met my upper thigh which led to butterflies in my abdominal.

“Don’t be nervous baby girl” - he smiled before taking his hand off my thigh,well that was really unexpected and left me speechless but in a way it felt so good, his hand was warm and seeing veins all up on his arm made me bite my lip and i think he noticed it.

“Quinn take your drink, i made you another one” - Abby leans over to pass me the cup then i take a sip before somebody’s phone starts ringing, Star goes to his pocket and pulls out a small phone.. is he involved in drug dealing? i knew he’s trouble.

“Hello?! What’s going on? Where you bro?” - he shouts out while getting up so quick my cup fell on the ground, I glanced at him but he seemed angry and not bothered about what just has happened.

I decided to ignore it and reached to my bag for a cigarette, he was still on the phone trying to get the persons location while everyone was quiet just looking at him nervously.

“I am on my way!” - he puts his phone back in the pocket and tells his group that they have to leave right now, he looked back at me and drew his lower lip between his teeth before running towards the entrance with others.

The rest of the day went quick, I kept thinking about what happened and why they had to run, was someone in danger? but who? he is full of secrets. I decided to call my taxi as it was getting dark and i had house work to do at home. Living on my own is hard but i have to take care of my responsibilities.

I left my taxi and headed out to my garden entrance, tonight is beautiful the moon is full and bright. As i am about to entrance my back door i felt someones hands gripping onto my waist.

"Let go!" - I screamed just to look back and see Star, his eyes were like glass just shining in the blask of the moon, my eyes widened and my mouth slightly opened in surprise.

"What are you doing here?" - I asked scared. "I never said goodbye, I'm sorry something come up but everything is settled now" - he says before taking step closer just to find him inches away from my face, his lips look soft and sweet, his breath meets mine as i am speechless of the situation.

"How do you know where i live?" - I ask in suspicion.

"I know more than you think, but how about if you let me in? I am feeling thirsty could i get a glass of water? - he smiles with his pearl white teeth and looks on my lips. Should i let him in? I barely know him i don't know if i can trust him.

He licks and bites his bottom lip which in return made me want to bite mine and all i see is his face getting closer to mine, as i'm getting in the moment my stomach has butterflies and heart beats twice faster, I close my eyes and lean towards his face for a kiss then suddenly i open my eyes to find him smiling and shaking his head.

"You really went for that kiss quick, but can I come inside?" - he laughed cheeky. I felt so embarrassed, how easy was it for him to get me like this?

"Only for a glass of water" - I replied turning my back to him to open the door. As i turned the key I felt him getting closer to my back and maybe i'm wrong but i'm sure i felt something.. ignoring what just happened i open the door and let him in.

"Thank you, Quinn" - he look me up and down and follows me inside. Did i just make a mistake?
