Forgive Me, Darling

Chp 1- Kissing Booth

Brinley ~

The first day of summer, I volunteered with my best friend Lacey for the kissing booth at the state fair just on the border of California. It's not that I have never kissed a boy before, it's more the matter that I'm kissing a stranger. My mom practically forced me to sign up for something at the state fair.

I rubbed my light pink gloss on my lips and touched my soft curls lightly through my hair. I blew on the wet nail polish on my fingernails and examined my features in the mirror. My golden brown eyes were surrounded by heaps of mascara. I had on a hot pink swim suit hidden by my high waisted Jean shorts. The top was covered by a white muscle tank showing my body through the sides. I had on some strappy sandals showing my nicely tanned feet.

My phone buzzed and flashed on the screen, a text from Lacey.

Lacey- hey Brinley :) guess who's gonna be at the fair?

Me- Bryce?!

Bryce was the guy I've liked for a long time. He was the hottest football jock in the grade. He wasn't the "jerky" type. He didn't hang around all the cheerleaders and he didn't have a bad reputation. His parents are super rich.

Lacey- YES!! You have to kiss him today! ;)

Looking at the time I quickly grabbed my beach bag. "Bye mom I'm leaving for the fair!" I yelled while opening the door. I shoved a piece of toast in my mouth and opened our red wooden door. Our house was a couple blocks down from the beach which the fair was set up on. We lived in a large neighborhood that almost the whole town had a house in. We lived almost on the beach. The lookout from my room was a beautiful ocean and the smell of the sea. Living in California was natural for me because I've been in the same place ever since I can remember.

I reached my hand for the lock while putting on my new heart shades, and locked the door behind me. The air was crisp and clear while grits of sand blew around. The sunset was just coming up making it the most beautiful time to go to the beach. Very few people were setting up for the fair. I had first shift at the booth, so early attendance was required. I pulled out my headphone and shuffled some songs on my phone. "Thinking out loud" by Ed Sheeran played on full blast in my ears. I mouthed the words carefully not to hum the melody. I took out my bottle of sunscreen and soaked myself in it. My tan line showed through my bathing suit.

I was about a hour early before I had to work my shift so I took off my top and shorts and took a dip in my swim suit.

hey guys! I'm so sorry about this short boring chapter! The introductions are always the worst! The story will get 10 times better when she works at the kissing booth ;) I hope your enjoying the story, and adding it to your library!
