A Summer To Temember

Chapter 2

~Christine~

Sitting in my room, wasting away another day off from work. When living in LA, the summer isn't that much different than any other time of the year.
I walk over to my window seat and look outside. There is a moving truck next door, and why is Luke walking over to that house. Please be someone cute.

A moment later, the most attractive guy I have ever laid eyes on, walks out of the trailer. Oh man, he better be moving in to that house. I need to get to know whoever that is.

"Chris come down and help with dinner please" I hear my mom call out. "I'm busy watching the sexy guy next door" I say to myself "yup" I call out to her.

You'd think as a 25 year old, I wouldn't have to help with so many chores around my parents house. One day I'll find my own place to live, it's just so expensive to rent around here.

"Who was that?" I ask Luke as he walks in the front door. "That's Cameron, he just moved in, we are getting together for drinks tomorrow" he says. Luke is my 21 year old brother. He's in the same boat as me, too expensive to live alone. But I think him and his friends are gonna rent a big house together soon.

"I'm going for a run, be back in an hour" I call out to whoever is listening while I tie my shoes at the front door. "Bye sweetie" I hear my dad say and I walk outside.

Running is something I do to clear my mind. Being in your mid twenties and living with you parents can be stressful!

After about 40 minutes I run into the new guy from next door. I think his name is Cameron.

I wave and say "hey" as he runs passed me in the opposite direction. "Hi" he says and keeps running. He probably has no idea who I am, as I was watching him through my window and he couldn't see me.

I get back to my house and sit on the front porch steps. A few minutes later, Cameron runs by.

"Hey beautiful" he calls out. Really a cat-call from the new guy. "Hi" I say back waving to him.

He walks up the path and sits down next to me. "I'm Cameron, I live next door" "I'm Christine, and I live here" I say laughing and gesturing towards the house I'm currently sitting in front of.

"So that guy that came out and helped me move earlier, that must be your boyfriend then?" He asks. I instantly start laughing "that's my brother" "oh, oops" he says. "You live at home still?" He asks "yea, just so expensive around here" I say. "Well I've got a spare room if you want" he says then gets this look on his face like 'did I really just say that out loud?'

"Umme, well we just met, so maybe wait a little while before moving in together" I say laughing. "Yea, and I meant it more in a roommate kind of way" he says "what other way could you have meant it?" I ask with a confused look on my face "oh I don't know" he says back to me.
