Strangers At First Sight

The Strangest Thing...

Liberty was awoken by a knock on her front door. "Ugh who even wakes up at nine on a Saturday!" Liberty rolled out of bed to see who was knocking on the front door. She nearly tripped walking dowstairs. She unlocked the door and saw Dallas on her porch steps. "Dallas?" Liberty's mouth almost dropped. "That's my name!" Dallas smirked. Liberty tightened the robe around her body. "What...how...why?" Dallas smiled. "You look great!" Liberty blushed. "I...uhhh I...." Dallas looked at his clarks and shoved his hands in his leather jacket. "I think the words you'rr looking for are thank you, Liberty!" Dallas' breath was visible because of the cold air. "This is so strange." Liberty avoided eye contact. "Can I come in, it's cold out here." Dallas asked. Liberty hesitated for a moment but let Dallas in. "Nice place." Dallas smiled. Liberty nodded. "Why am I the only one talking?" Dallas asked. Liberty seemed confused for a second. "Umm, not to be rude but umm why exactly are you here and how did you find me?" Dallas ran a hand through his hair. "Are you home alone?" Liberty crossed her arms over her chest. "Don't change the subject." Liberty replied. "Don't you want to change first?" Dallas looked over Liberty's body. He stared at her feet and went up over her body and up to her eyes. Liberty blushed at Dallas. "Fine, just don't move." Liberty ran upstairs almost tripping for the second time. "Where am I going to go?" Dallas shouted for Liberty to hear.

Liberty came down moments later wearing jeans and a hoodie; Dallas was still sat on the same spot of her couch. "So are you home alone?" Dallas asked curiously. Liberty took a seat next to him. "Yeah, my dad left for work last night." Dallas bit his lip. "So, it's only you and your dad?" Dallas asked again. Liberty cleared her throat. "Umm, how did you find me and why exactly are you here?" Liberty asked. Dallas smiled showing off his perfect white teeth. "You were right, most people don't know you...I asked everyone I knew, and trust me I know a lot of people, and not one knows who you are. You were very difficult to find." Dallas said coming off a little creepy. Liberty shifted herself on the couch. "So you asked about me?" Liberty asked. Dallas gulped forcefully. "I...well...I just want get to know you." Dallas responded. "Trust me when I tell you this but, I'm not very interesting." Liberty spoke softly. Dallas looked into Liberty's eyes. "Well you might not find yourself interesting, but other people might, you just have to give them a chance."

"Okay well it was nice chatting with you Dallas but you should really get going." Liberty stood up off the couch and opened the front door, notifing Dallas to leave. Dallas stood up and walked over to Liberty. "You might have built a barrier around yourself and other people, but trust me when I say this, I will break it and we will become friends!" Dallas mocked whispering into Liberty's ears. Liberty's whole body went numb. "I...umm...I have no clue what you are talking about." Liberty stuttered out. "My friend Jake is having a party tonight. You should come." Dallas smiled. "I won't exactly fit in..." Liberty started. "Of course you won't...you will stand out!!" Dallas smiled in a charming way. Liberty scruntched her nose. "As I was saying I don't do party's they are not my thing." Liberty protested. "What isn't your thing? Having fun?!" Dallas smirked with a twinkle in his eyes. Liberty gave him a pity annoyed expression. "Listen Liberty I'm not asking you to go drink, smoke weed and wake up next to a naked guy and have a huge hangover the next day, all I'm asking you is if you want to come with me, so that way we can get to know eachother." Dallas leaned against Liberty's cold house. Liberty crossed her arms. "No you listen Dallas, I don't know who you are but I don't need some random guy who I barley know showing up at my door and asking me to go to his friend's party, I don't care how hot you are." Liberty covered her mouth after those last few words slipped past her lips.

"I should really control what comes out of my mouth." Liberty blushed. Dallas smiled from ear to ear. "Well great I will pick you up at eight!" Dallas said shoving his hands in his pockets. Liberty rolled her eyes. "You are relentless arn't you?" He nodded his head. "Fine, whatever but this isn't a date, because I know a few things about guys and them not keeping their shit in their pants." Liberty pointed all over Dallas' body. Dallas laughed "Oh do you now, well I would love to hear about it sometime!" Liberty blushed once more "Yeah, well see you later Dallas" Liberty said shutting the door before she could embarrass herself even more if that's even possible. "Bye Forde." Dallas smirked. Dallas smiled as he walked down her porch steps. "Oh no he knows my last name? Is he a spy?" Liberty spoke to herself as she slid down the door. "What on earth is happening to me?" She placed her head on her knees while she hugged her legs.

Liberty was staring at all her clothes in her closet while sipping on her mug of green tea. Her father had called earlier telling Liberty that he wouldn't be home till Monday night because of his job; The firestation was his second home. Liberty looked at her clock despertely as it neared eight o'clock. She went to her bathroom and fishtail braided her hair over her right shoulder. Her braid fell slightly passed her boob, some peices of hair fell out of her braid and nicely framed her face. Her thin lips made her eyes appear huge and awake.

Dallas knocked on Liberty's house door at exactly eight o'clock. Liberty's footstep were heard from outside her house as she walked downstairs with a quick pace. The sun had already went down past Liberty's house. It's is a nicely sized two story house, it's plain white with a brown roof. It's quite small compared to other houses but it's large enough for her and her dad.

Liberty unlocked the door and opened it, cold air entered her living room. "Come in, it's so cold" Liberty said pulling Dallas into the warmth of her home. "Ready to go?" Dallas took his hands out of his pockets. "Do you want anything to drink?" Liberty quickly changed the subject and picked at her nails nervously. "No, that's okay. I'm pretty sure they have drinks at the party." Dallas smiled. Liberty looked up at Dallas then back down. "Yeah, umm about that...I'm not in a mood to go." Liberty said looking into Dallas's eyes. Dallas smiled and wrinkles formed around his eyes. "You're already dressed." Dallas checked Liberty out. She was in black jeans with a colorful turtle neck sweater. Liberty squirmed around at the sight of Dallas's eyes on her body. "Yeah, but I already know I am not going to have fun." Liberty said. "You should just go on without me."

Dallas smiled. "We both know that that's not going to happen, so just come you might actually have fun." Liberty thought for a few seconds. "Fine." She gave in grabbing her poofy black jacket. Dallas chuckled at Liberty. "What?" Liberty stopped what she was doing. "You're not fooling me are you?" Dallas smile diminshed but then came back. "No, of course not your just....adorable." Liberty blushed. "Okay let's go to hell." Liberty quickly said. "You will have fun I promise." Dallas went out the door followed by Liberty.
