The First Touch
Itâs a Friday summer night in the middle of July, and your light brown nearly blonde curled hair rests on the silky sleeveless red dress you had in the back of your closet, it goes about five inches above your knees, your wearing an yellow and orange eye-shadow combo with the yellow on your inner eyelid and the orange on your outer eyelid, you have on a little bit of blush that has faded throughout the night and your wearing a tiny bit of eyeliner with a small wing so you didnât overdo your makeup, your carrying your black heels, you just got home from a family get together so you decide to go out for a walk on the beach an nearly perfect stranger approaches you and taps you on the shoulder, heâs wearing an unbuttoned over shirt that rests perfectly over his tan muscular body, revealing his perfect abs, heâs tall with dark brown hair, it looks nearly black, he has beautiful blue eyes, with an perfectly straight smile, he looks like a model.
You smile and blush just looking at him you think to yourself âhe is breathtaking.â you shyly look up and say
âh-hiâ and he looks down at you and hands you one of your heels and says
âyou dropped thisâ his voice is deep. You look down and see your only holding one heel then look back up at him and spoke
âI didnât realize I dropped it, Iâd lose my head if it wasnât attachedâ he chuckles and asks
âare you from around here?â and you explain
âyeah I live right up the road from hereâ he looks a little shocked and asks flirtatiously
âdo you come here often? Because thereâs no way I wouldnât notice a gorgeous girl like youâ you blush and get butterflies by hearing him say that and you reply
âI come here almost every day, thereâs no way I havenât noticed you yetâ he smiles and says
âIâm the lifeguard here, but I like to go on walks during the nightâ you then smirk and say
âwe should go grab a few drinks and talk, my sister owns the cafeâ he smiles and responds
âIâd love to.â
You lead the way and nervously grab his hands and get butterflies when you realize how small your hands are compared to his and he chuckles saying
âtiny hands!â You act angry and demand
âthey are not tiny!â He laughs then compares his hands to yours then you admit
âokay maybe a little but thatâs not the point!â
You guys make it to your sisterâs cafe and you see your sister and she walks up to you and calls to you
âAna!â The stranger giggles
âI never got to introduce myself.â
He reaches out his hand to give you a handshake and says
âIâm Josiah Smith, you can call me Josh or Jayâ you smile while shaking his hand you respond saying
âI go by Ana, short for Ana-belle, and if I call you anything other than Josiah itâs Joshâ
Your sister looks completely shocked and a little offended, she belts teasingly
âis this your lover boy, you never told me you had a boyfriendâ I blush and smile and say
âJohanne! We just met!!â She smiles while saying
âlooks like you guys are on a date to meâ then she looks at Josh and sneers
âif you hurt her I will have you fired and I mean itâ he smiles and looks at me while saying
âMiss. Davis I have zero intentions of hurting herâ she smiles and adds
âYou may call me Johanneâ she pauses for a second pondering and remarks âI think Ana would love it if youâd attend dinner tomorrow night, I would say tonight but she just ate at our family get together.â
He looks you up and down and reports
âthat explains why youâre dressed upâ you smile and giggle saying
âI wanted to look cuteâ then do a tiny little twirl and state
âdonât I look cute?â He chuckles and says
âI donât care how dressed up you are in my eyes youâll always be cuteâ
you smile and look deeply into his eyes while your heart beats rapidly you can hear it in your ears and feel it in your throat, but itâs not in a bad way like it is when your anxious, itâs the heartbeat that makes you smile and feel warm inside, heâs staring back and he puts his hands on your hips and you look up and think
âheâs going to kiss meâ but of course your sister Johanne ruins the moment and clears her throat asking
âare you guys going to sit somewhere or just stand there like idiots?â You giggle nervously when he turns to Johanne removing one of his hands from your hip and he pulls you closer to his side by your waist resting his hand there and he smiles nervously saying
âright I forgotâ then leads you to a table for two that has a singular rose and states
âweâll sit hereâ you smile and sit then respond saying
âI would like a vanilla shake to pleaseâ and Josh smiles and adds
âIâll have the same.â
You rest your arms on the table while looking at him, then suddenly your phone goes off, so you check your phone and itâs a text from your mom and it says
âwhere are you?â You look at the time and itâs 12:30! You text her and say
âI ran into a cute boy, weâre on a date at Johannes cafe Iâll call when Iâm on my way home!â Josh looks confused and asks
âwho was that?â You reply
âit was my mom, sheâs always worrying about me but Iâm 17, Iâm going to be an adult soonâ he looks at you and states
âmy parents always check on me and I have my own house and Iâm 20!â You add
âparents are so overprotective at times, but letâs not let my mom ruin our night.âYou guys finish your drinks and you ask
âhow does star gazing sound?â He smiles and responds
âIâve never star-gazed with anyone beforeâ
Before I get to say anything slow and romantic music starts playing and Josh stands up and grabs your hand and asks
âwould you like to dance with me?â I look up at him and my face turns bright red and I say
âwow your tallâ he chuckles and says
âno youâre just shortâ you roll your eyes giggling and you stand up and say
âmaybe but weâre just going to say youâre just tallâ
he smiles and you both start to slow dance, he holds you close by your waist and you guys slow dance and you rest your head on his chest you can hear his heartbeat increase and you smile and blush. He looks down at you and says
âeven though we just met today it feels like Iâve known you my entire lifeâ you smile and blush while saying
âI feel safe hereâ he looks confused and asks
âwhat do you mean?â You smile and blush and say
âin your arms dummyâ he smiles and says
âthatâs cute.â
You get a call from your mom and you see the time, and itâs almost 1! You frown and look at Josh and say
âI think my mom wants me home Iâm so sorryâ he asks
âare you gonna answer that?â So you answer it and your mom says
âAna where are you?!â She was so loud Josh could hear her and you say
âIâm so sorry I lost track of time!â Your mom says
âyou have until 1:15 to get homeâ you say
âyes maâamâ
You look like your about to cry and she hangs up
Josh hugs you tightly and says âitâs gonna be an alright princessâ you smile at him after he says that and you say
âcan you walk me home?â He says
âof courseâ
and picks you up carrying you like a princess and you smile softly and tell him where you live and he walks with you as you guys are walking to your house and heâs carrying you. He acts like heâs gonna drop you and you say
âJosh no!!â He giggles and says
âI would never drop youâ
He smiles and puts you down to hand you his phone and says, âhere put your number in it and text your numberâ then he picks you back up and you say,
âyou donât have to carry me the entire wayâ
He smirks and says
âyouâre small so itâs okayâ
you guys arrive at your house and itâs 1:14, you had left at 1:00. He frowns and puts you down then says âmay I meet your parents?â You smile and say,
âof course you canâ he smiles and puts his hand in yours with his fingers in between your fingers.
You think to yourself âIâve never felt like this holding someone elseâs hand, Iâve never felt the way I do with him before, Iâve had similar feelings but not this.â
He smirks and says âlead the wayâ you walk him to the door and grab your key out of your pocket and unlock the door then take a breath in and open the door and you say,
âIâm homeâ your mom walks downstairs, and he looks around and says,
âwow you have a beautiful houseâ you smile and your mom says,
âthank you young man, but where is your shirt?â You smile
âmom I met him at the beach, of course, heâs only wearing the overshirt, Iâm surprised heâs wearing anything besides shortsâ
She rolls her eyes and says âwhatâs your name young man?â
He smiles and says âmy name is Josiah, but I go by Josh or Jayâ she smiles and says,
âthatâs a wonderful nameâ then turns to me âAna, is he staying the night?â
You smile and say âJosh, do you want to stay the night?â He smiles and nods his head, your step-dad walks in and says,
âNo funny business, youâll be staying in the living room we have a fold-out bedâ he nods and your little five-year-old sister walks in and yells âsissy!â
You giggle and say âsissy itâs time for bedâ
She frowns and says âwill you tuck me in?â You nod and grab Joshâs hand and you both go and tuck her in, then you lead Josh to the living room that has a fireplace with a tv attached to the wall above it then across the room from it is the couch and a coffee table in front of it, the toys that belong to youâre five-year-old sister grace and youâre six-year-old brother James are scattered out in front of the toy box in the corner, youâre step-dad is setting up the bed and youâre older brother Alex brings you and Josh some blankets and pillows, youâre exhausted so you go to the bathroom and Josh says,
âwhat are you doing?â
You say âI have to wash my makeup offâ he says,
âoh yeah I forgotâ he walks into the bathroom with you and he smiles and waits for you to be done doing your makeup, and after about five minutes you completely clean your face off and he looks at you and smiles and you playfully say,
âwhat?â
While still smiling he says âyouâre gorgeous is allâ he leaves the room for you to change, you change into an oversized shirt and sweatpants and then you sit on the counter and say,
âIâm dressedâ he comes back in and you look at him while heâs still standing, he looks at you and says,
âmovie?â
You smile and say âhorror or romance? Or both?â
He looks at you and can tell youâre a horror fan so he says âhow about bothâ
Then picks you up and you wrap your arms and legs around him smiling while your heart is beating rapidly, you and Josh lay down on the couch and you set up a horror and romance movie called âOur houseâ you cuddled up to Josh while watching the movie, you fell asleep over halfway through the movie sleeping on Joshâs chest with one hand on his chest and the other resting in his hair from you playing with it, he continues to play with your hair and hold you asyou sleep, he falls asleep towards the end of the movie, you forgot to tell him you have night terrors and you wake up crying at 5:30 in the morning and he wakes up and says,
âare you okay?â And he holds you tightly while saying,
âitâs okay princess Iâm right hereâ you start to calm down and look at him and say,
âIâm sorry for waking you upâ and he says,
âno itâs okay, Iâm just glad I was hereâ you completely stop crying and calm down and you say,
âI had a nightmareâ he says,
âitâs okay babyâ and you get butterflies as soon as he says âbabyâ he smiles because you started blushing, and he says âdid that make you happy?â You nod and then suddenly someoneâs bangs on the door, your sister looks at the camera and runs downstairs.
She says âAna call the cops heâs backâ you start calling the cops and try not to panic, and Josh gets up and says,
âwhoâs back?â Johanne grabs the baseball bat that rested against the corner by the door and says,
âher ex-boyfriend the reason Ana wakes up in panic attacksâ Josh clenches his fists and looks pissed when Johanne says that, Anaâs ex gets through the door and says creepily,
âoh Ana Iâm homeâ and Anaâs stepdad walks down the stairs and says,
âJacob what are you doing here?â Josh is furious, and Jacob tries to walk towards Ana then Josh gets ready to hit Jacob in the face and Jacob says,
âoh come on you wouldnât punch your best friend now, would you?â Josh starts getting angrier and says,
âIâm not your friend anymore Jacobâ and Jacob smirks and says,
âwhat about the money we made together Joshâ and Josh goes to punch Jacob but the police arrive before Josh hits Jacob and they arrest Jacob for violation of a restraining order, Josh sits on the bed and calms down then sees Ana still having a panic attack so he quickly gets up and walks to Ana and hugs her tightly and says,
âare you alright?â
She says âyea I was scared he was gonna hurt me againâ
Josh says âI will never let that happenâ
You smile and say âIâm exhaustedâ he picks you up and carries you to the bed and you and him fall back asleep cuddling and you lay on him with your head rested on his chest, you wake up the next morning and your parents are arguing but Josh is in the kitchen making you and him breakfast, so you get up and brush your hair then put it in a messy bun, then you walk into the kitchen smiling and say âthatâs my favorite foodâ the delicious pancakes and eggs and bacon and sausage smells wonderful, you say âI donât normally have both sausage and bacon but theyâre both goodâ
He smirks and says âI had to ask your sister what foods you like for breakfastâ you smile and giggle, he puts two pancakes on a plate and hands you peanut butter and syrup then puts sausage bacon and scrambled eggs on a plate then sets both plates in front of you, he hands you ketchup as well, he then makes his plate of sausage bacon and eggs with another plate of two pancakes, you spread the peanut butter on your pancakes and put syrup over the top, and you eat your food, you put ketchup on your eggs and dipped your bacon and sausage in syrup. He eats his about the same but he isnât a huge fan of peanut butter so he doesnât have peanut butter on his pancakes, you smile and say,
âGreat minds think alikeâ when he dips his bacon and sausage in the syrup, he made enough for everyone in your house but of course your parents are still arguing so nobody leaves their room.
Josh says âis it always like this?â
You say âpretty much, I wish my dad was still around but he left 10 years agoâ he looks at you sympathetically and you say âdonât, if he wanted to be here he would be, the last thing he said to me was that he hates me and wishes he never screwed my mom, I have at least 6 other sisters and 3 other brothers, theyâre half brothers and sisters and Iâve never met them.â He still looks at you with sympathy and you say âIâm used to him being goneâ and your about to cry and he says,
âbabe you shouldnât have to beâ you start to cry and put your head in your arms, he gets up and lifts you up to stand up and youâre balling at this point and he wraps his arms around you tightly and says âitâll be okay I promiseâ you sob while saying,
âI just wish he was here I wish he loved meâ and then suddenly as if someone heard you say that you get a call Josh looks at your phone and says,
âmay I answer it?â You nod your head and he answers the call and puts it on speaker and the person says,
âhello, Ana? Itâs your fatherâ you start to cry even more while he holds you, he says,
âthis is her boyfriend, may I help you?â
Your father says âyes, may I speak to Ana?â You say while tears run down your face
âHello?â
Your father says âAna dear Iâm so sorry, Iâm homeâ then thereâs a knock at the door and you open the door knowing itâs your father and you donât hug him because you donât know if you hate him or love him, he says âAna Iâm so sorry, I didnât mean those things I saidâ and you say,
âif you were actually sorry you wouldnât have waited ten years to finally apologize, why would you tell a 7-year-old little girl you hate her and wish you never screwed her mom? Those words have been carved into my brain, Iâve seen several therapists and none of them have helped because all I ever think of is how I wasnât good enough for my father to loveâ
your father looks shocked, and you never dreamed of the first time seeing your father in 10 years to be like this, Josh holds you close to him and your father says âIâm sorry, do you not get that?â
Johanne comes down stairs, and says âwhat are you doing here?â
You turn away from everyoneâs holding Joshâs hand and grab your phone and start walking to the beach, you call your mom and say âmom Iâm going to stay with Josh until dad either leaves or realizes what he actually has doneâ
she says âI called him, heâs not leaving.â
You hang up on her and look at Josh and say âso I have two questionsâ he says
âgo for itâ
you smile and say âare we dating now, and can I stay with you for awhile?â
He smiles and says âyes of course you can baby and yesâ you smile calmly and seem at peace even after what seemed to be an complete disaster, you guys walk to the beach and he says âIâll drive us there weâre not walking the entire wayâ
you smile and say âthatâd be niceâ you and Josh make it to his car and you and him drive to his house, you text your sister and say âI need a lot of clothes and all of my beauty stuff pleaseâ Your sister agreed to bring you your stuff and Josh says while driving,
âyou have a rough lifeâ
you say âIâd rather me than someone who wouldnât emotionally be able to take this, I have a lot of emotional issuesâ
he smiles and says âand Iâll love every last one of them because theyâre a part of you, the only reason I didnât go off on your dad or punch him in the face back there is because heâs your fatherâ
you say âI could care less about him, hey! We should get some food Iâm starvingâ
he chuckles and says âwhatâs your favorite food?â
You say âChinese of courseâ
he smiles and says âmine tooâ then starts heading to his favorite Chinese restaurant.
you say âwe have a lot in common, you know?â He nods while smiling, they make it to the Chinese place and you immediately know what you want and you say âI would like an order of general Tsi chicken with dr. pepper pleaseâ and he says,
âIâll have the shrimp and noodles with a water please and thank youâ they tell you what your total is and give you a seat, you sit next to each other in a booth and hold hands and talk about your hobbies and favorite things. Then the food makes it to the table and you and Josh are laughing about the stupidest reasons you guys have been dumped for and your father texts you but before you read it you hand it to Josh for him to reply, after he sends his text he says âyour father said Ana Iâm so sorry, so I replied with she will not see your message until later because as of right now sheâs happy and Iâm not letting this ruin itâ
you then say âokay, I kind of want to know what my mother means by heâs not leavingâ he looks confused and says
âthatâs kind of odd for her to say about her ex-husbandâ you frown and say
âex-fling, they wanted her to get pregnant but they never ended up datingâ
he hugs you tightly and says âweâll get through this togetherâ you smile at him saying that and feel as if a weight has been lifted off your shoulders, he squeezed your hand smiling and you looked at him and playfully said âare you making fun of my small handsâ he grinned and said âof course, I canât help it that youâre just a tiny personâ
you giggle and say âyouâre just a bigger person than me, I canât help it Iâm 5â5â
he smiles and says âIâm 6â4â your eyes widen and your face is bright red and you think to yourself âwow this man is perfect but boy is he tallâł
He playfully nudges you and says âwhyâs your face so red?â Youâre food finally makes it to the table and you and him eat it, you donât eat it a special way this time but after a couple of pieces of chicken you say,
âthis is spicyâ
he giggles and says âlet me tryâ
you say âonly if I can try yoursâ so you give him a bite of your general Tsi chicken and he gives you a bite of his shrimp and noodles and he says âwow this is pretty spicyâ you then say,
âitâs the way I like it though, yours is pretty good I do have to sayâ
he smiles and says âof course.â
As if your day couldnât get any worse, your sister calls you and sheâs crying and you say âhey, is everything alright?â
She responds with âno I caught my girlfriend sleeping with my best friendâ
so you say âitâs gonna be alright Iâm so sorryâ
your sister then says âcan you take over my shift? Iâll count those hours as yoursâ
you sigh and say âyes I can, Iâll be there in a few, I love you byeâ then you hang up and Josh says,
âso you have to go to work?â You nod with a frown on your face and he says,
âIâll be right there with you if you need any helpâ you then say,
âthank you it means a lotâ instead of saying anything he hugs you and you say,
âcan we go back to my house so I can get readyâ
you sigh âI didnât want to go back while father is there but I guess I have to.â
He hugs you and says âIâll be right by your sideâ he holds your hand as he pays for the food and leaves a tip, he continues to hold your hand as you go to the car and when you get in he looks you deeply in your eyes and say âyou have pretty blue eyes, and youâre just absolutely gorgeousâ you smile as your stomach fills with butterflies and he cups his hand on your cheek and he starts to lean in and as he leans in your heart is beating and your nervous and your face turns bright red as he leans in, as he leans in he rests the other hand on your thigh and when your lips are nearly touching you close your eyes and both of you lean in and he kisses you passionately for a few seconds and then softly pulls away and you shyly say,
âh-hiâ your smiling the biggest smile you can smile, your smiling with your teeth, which is something you donât do often because you donât like your braces, your braces have blue bands, but your butterflies donât leave for awhile and he starts the car and you and him head towards your house and after a few minutes he says,
âdid you like that kiss?â You smile not expecting him to ask and you say,
âY-yesâ
he giggles and says âsomebodyâs nervousâ
you smile and nod and say âjust a little after I get off work do you wanna swim and hang out for a while?â He smiles and nods, you make it to your house and you go in already for anything, you hear your step father screaming at your siblings and you see your parents making out, you say to Josh,
âI didnât mean for that wish to come trueâ
he nods and says âI didnât know it wouldâ you hold Joshâs hand and you both go to your room, heâs packing your stuff for you to stay for awhile and your in the bathroom getting ready for work, you put on your work uniform which of course your sister made it cute, itâs a black tank top under a denim shorts overall with only one side buttoned and on the tank top in white writing it says âJohannes cafeâ itâs written in cursive and under it, it says âweâre always in the mood for coffeeâ she doesnât only serve coffee though, she serves all kinds of things, the coffee is just the main thing you put on a red and orange combo of eyeshadow with the orange in the center, you do a small eyeliner wing and put on a little bit of blush and highlighter, then you leave the bathroom and walk into your room, and Josh immediately looks you up and down so you do a little twirl and say,
âwhat do you think?â
He smiles and says âwow, I donât know what to say, you look absolutely gorgeous, but you always look gorgeousâ he smiles and you see almost everything is in your suitcase you use when you travel, you go back to the bathroom and grab a toothbrush and your makeup bag and come back to your room and hand him those things, he puts them in your suitcase and he says âIâll go to the store before my shift, okay?â You smile and nod, then your father knocks on the door and says,
âare you still my little Ana bug?â
You say âdad Iâm not five, the only person I want to speak to right now is the only one who was there for me for those Ten years of my life that you werenât, so please go away, and no Iâm not talking about mom Iâm mad at her.â Your father walks away and you say to Josh âam I being too harshâ
Josh says âyou have every right to be angry at himâ you nod and continue packing, you pack your drawing book and journal, and you also grab the picture of you and your father and pack it, you look at Josh and say âmaybe heâs always been this wayâ
your step father knocks on the door and says âAnnie itâs meâ heâs the only one you let call you Annie because it was special, your nana called you Bella-bug because it was unique, you open the door and hug him and say,
âIâm so sorry I have to leave, whatâs going on between you and mom?â
He frowns and says âAnnie Iâm afraid your mom has been seeing your father behind my back, but Iâm not leaving your life like he did, Iâve been around since you were three as your moms best friend and when you were 7 and a half I became your father figureâ you smile knowing he would never leave you like your father left you. Your stepfather says âyou look prettyâ you smile and say âthank youâ he nods and he helps you pack some things you forgot, you hug him goodbye and say,
âIâll call youâ Josh carries your things so you donât have to and you and him get in the car and you say,
âat least my father left me alone for a whileâ
he laughs and says âyeah, do you want to go to the store together after you get off?â You smile and say,
âIâd like thatâ he nods and you and him continue driving towards the beach, itâs not far away but the road on the way is lonely, you and him live on country like roads and in opposite directions from the beach, thereâs a circular area of forest between the two of you and behind your houses are forests, but itâs nice and peaceful so it doesnât bother you much, itâs calming, it would be at least if you could have a calm and peaceful house. You and him make it to the beach and get out of the car, he walks you in the cafe then goes and starts his shift you and him work from noon to 8 and you go to the beach when the next person comes in for their shift, you have to close the shop later but you go to the lifeguard changing room because Josh let you go in there.
You change into a black two piece the top barely fits because you have a bigger bust than most females, your bottoms has little tie ups on the side and your butt sticks out a tiny bit, you look at yourself in the mirror no smile then try to fix the bottoms, and you succeeded but it wonât stay fixed forever, you walk out to Josh and see him kissing another girl, your eyes fill with tears and your devastated you walk up to him and hear him say
âget off of me I have a girlfriendâ but you think he said it because he saw you because this has happened to you before, and you look at him while crying and he tries to hug you and you say,
âI donât need a hug, what the heck was that?â
He says âthat was my ex-girlfriend she just did that out of nowhereâ
his coworkers nod their head and one says âheâs telling the truth, he was watching the water and suddenly she kisses himâ
your still crying and donât know if heâs telling the truth but you hug him tightly anyways and say
âIâm scaredâ
he says âI know princess, but I would never do that to you, I promiseâ you smile a little but youâre still sad about it because you thought he was trying to kiss her, you wait for him on the steps to finish his shift.
Your father texts you and says âdo you want to meet your siblings?â You ignore it and Josh comes back but you donât see him so he comes up behind you and picks you up to scare you at first you scream then he turns you around and you giggle and hug him, you and him walk to the water together and you splash him with the water immediately and he yells,
âcold!â
You laugh and say âI knowâ he smiles and you can tell heâs about to pick you up so you run and he runs after you and after a few minutes he catches up to you and picks you up and says,
âcan you swim?â You nod and plug your nose and hold your breath, he dunked you! You smile and hop on his back and say,
ârude! Itâs coldâ
he smiles devilishly and says âI knowâ you smile and think âugh heâs such a teaseâ he pretends heâs gonna drop you and as he does you scream because youâre almost an entire foot higher than you normally are and you say,
âput me down!!â
He laughs and says âmake meâ you smile and climb off his back and youâre absolutely petrified but relieved when you get down, he smiles and says âthat was funâ
you smile and say âno it was notâ
he smiles and says âdonât make me pick you up againâ
you smile and laugh while you say âdonât you dareâ he smiles and pretends like heâs gonna pick you up and you try to tackle him into the water but instead he tackles you into the water he smiles and kisses you softly then pulls away and says âhahaâ you smile and try to get up and he laughs because you canât get up, after a few minutes he lets you up you giggle and he takes your hand and helps you up he smiles because his brother was standing by them getting a fire ready for sâmores and his brother also had a guitar with him, you look over at what heâs smiling at and say,
âwhoâs thatâ
Josh says âheâs my brotherâ
you say âwhyâs he holding a guitar?â
Josh smiles and says âyouâll see, I met your parents and brothers and sisters so I decided to contact mine, he was the first to get hereâ
you smile and say âcan we go to him now?â He nods and holds your hand while walking to his brother Josh says,
âMichael this is my girlfriendâ
Michael smiles and says âyour pretty lucky Joshâ and you recognize the name but you donât know where you recognize the name from you brush it off and hope itâs nothing. Michael smiles and says âcome on you donât remember me? That little boy youâd always hangout with in middle schoolâ
the mention of middle school disgusts you, you say âMichael if you do know me from that time you know middle school wasnât a good time for meâ
Michael then says âah I forgotâ
Josh asks âwhat about Middle school, is this the girl you saved from that bad situation?â
Michael nods and you look away while saying âthis isnât a good subject please stop talking about itâ
Josh holds you close and kisses your forehead then says âIâm sorry baby girlâ you smile and say,
âso sâmores?â Josh smiles and gets out the graham crackers while you get out the chocolate and Michael gets the marshmallows, before you get to open any of the stuff Joshâs parents and other siblings arrive, you holds Joshâs hand smiling and Joshâs mom says,
âyou canât have sâmores before dinner and Josh smiles while walking with you to his mom, he lets go of your hand to hug her he says ,
âIâm glad you and pa could make itâ she smiles and says âof course, we wanted to meet this girl you wonât stop talking aboutâ
you smile and shyly say âhi Iâm Ana-belleâ Josh smiles after he lets go of his mom and says,
âshe goes by Anaâ he holds your hand while smiling and says âthis is my girlfriend maâ she smiles and says,
âshe is absolutely gorgeousâ you smile hearing that and say âthank you so much maâamâ
Michael says âso pa whatâs for dinnerâ
theyâre father says âletâs eat at that cafeâ you smile and say,
âmy sisters cafe?â
His father says âyour Johannes sister?â You smile and nod, he looks shocked but doesnât say anything, and you and Josh and everyone else besides Michael walk to the cafe to get food, everyone orders and take their food back to the fire, Josh orders Michael the same thing he gets, you get a burger and fries with a salad and Josh and Michael both get the same, you walk back to the fire with your food and you see a few people you donât know along with your father and mother waiting at the campfire.
