Second Choice

Chpt 2 - Stranger...?

After he dropped me off at home, I just kinda went to my room and got ready to shower. Today was fun. I kinda have to admit, today when we went swimming Andrew has a pretty nice body, his abs are just wow. And his biceps are amazing. I didn't expect it but soon I started to draw what he looked like in an old sketchbook. I had drawn a few other things in my sketchbook, mostly flowers and some clothes designs which I knew I would never finish.

I heard a knock on my window and i was confused, our house wasn't that big but we still had 2 stories, it scared me so i texted andrew saying

Hey dude someone just knocked on my bedroom window

...

I waited a minute or two before I saw him reply and I went to open my window..

Ya loser it's me open up im gonna fall if i keep hanging on with one hand.

... and it's gonna hurt

He climbed in, his parents didn't really care when he was home, they were not strict, they were calm and understanding. I almost forgot to close my sketchbook before he saw it but I was a little too late . He had already sat down on my bed beside the book with the open drawing of him. He picked up the book before I could stop him, I felt my face start to burn and a wave of embarrassment washed over me. He smiled a small amount before he laughed.

He stared at me with a smile making me second guess what he's thinking. I was going to ask him why he was just staring at me smiling like a weirdo, but I didn't want to ruin it.  As you can guess I didn't ruin the silence he did. But i didn't mind it was getting kind of awkward.

"Wow, I knew you could draw but damn, that's good, '' he said smiling. "You ok? You're quiet"

His smile quickly went away, he got up and started to walk towards me. I didn't know why but I just kind of stood there not really caring, but he cupped my face slightly and tilted my face up to look at him. "Marcia? Are you ok? You're worrying me now" he questioned

"Huh, oh yea I'm fine don't worry about it" i smiled "zoned out is all"

He said ok and then started to pull me into a hg because he thinks when I zone out it's his fault, that he's too boring or something, but that was never the case. I never cared if he was boring. I always tried to pay attention. Plus most of the time he told stories and they were rather fun to listen to unless it was about tennis. 

he eventually left and i was just sitting there questioning what to do tomorrow, i figured we might just go out to get some lunch and cause some trouble together. i figured he would agree if he wasnt doing anything. I doubt he had any plans unless he was planning on hanging out with that one dude. I think his name was Jose, I never could remember he hadn't liked me much since he thought I was 'annoying' and' weird' . I never cared.

Fast forward to tomorrow, he was busy, so i went out by myself and i ran into that girl Andrew saved, we never did get her name so i asked her what it was. But I wanted to see if she was at least good for Andrew. He deserved the best. And I had to make sure that she was good for him.

"Hey you're that girl that my friend saved" i said to her "we never got your name"

"Isabelle" she started "isabelle perez, it nice to meet you" she held out her hand

"Nice to meet you too, im Marcia" i shook her hand "wanna get some lunch with me? Get to know each other"

"Sure why not i have nothing better to do" she said

Her name was isabelle perez, one thing down now i just had to figure out what she does as hobbies and if she would a good match personality wise and mentally available to fit his needs sometimes.Andrew sometimes could be a bit much but it's because of the amount certain things just hit him. And they hit him rather hard but he just needs someone to be there to let his feelings out. After an hour we had to leave.

"Well bye isabelle, i'll see ya some other time" i said before walking away

"Bye Marcia, see ya later stranger" she said smiling and turning to walk away.

Stranger hmm i guess that's one way to say see ya later, but it worked it went nicely together.
