Deklan was the splitting image of Max. He had a deep jawline with stubble dots making the shadows of his cheek bones deeper. He had handsome blue eyes the looked like a clear ocean. His hair was shaggy blond, a beautiful color of gold. His shirt which was a deep forest green hugged him close, showing a six pack and biceps in crystal clear form. His ripped jeans showed of some leg muscle but not much. He was handsome, but he had some catching up to do with his brother.
He was staring at me. No not me. Through me. His eyes were set in stone on Lucia. How could they not be? Max cleared his throat.
"So are going to stand out here all day or what?" Deklan giggled, blushing a crimson color. Lucia stared at him with an amused look.
I closed my eyes and smiled. I breathed and opened my eyes. "No. Unless we want to get stuck under this rain. If you guys want to get wet, you go right ahead, but I'm all for some hot chocolate in a warm and dry environment."
Rest of the group looked up at the frighteningly dark sky. The smell of rain had replaced the reek of Deklan's car, which I hadn't noticed stank until the scent hadn't been there. Lucia laughed and butted in front of me, bending her knees and putting back her arms.
I laughed and jumped on her back, putting my legs in the crooks of her arms. I looped my arms around her neck gently and put my chin atop of her red head.
She picked me up and beelined towards our house, running in circles in the front yard. Max gave a deep laugh as Lucia plopped down with ZERO warning and dropped me. "God Veronica. Wear some lighter clothes." She groaned. Everyone came over to the lawn. Lucia and I ran inside to get some food and blankets. The group had a picnic. Later they went out back and sat around the fire pit. They shared scary stories and jokes. Soon my parents came home and provided the group with some chili. It was a great night. Veronica shared a blanket with Max and Deklan. Lucia sat on a different blanket with her friends. But I didn't feel out of place for a second. It was just a great night. I wished it would never end.
