Puppy Love

Chapter 1: Church's and Cars

"Oh come on Danny, we all know Fords are better than Chevrolets." Blaine says to me.

"Maybe if you like to walk alot." I laugh in return.

He rolls his eyes, then turns kind of serious.

"So what went down with you and Tyler?"

I roll my eyes, "we had religious differences. He thought he was God. I didnt." I say nonchalantly.

He lets out a bark of laughter, "Danielle, please tell me you didn't tell him that when you broke up."

I shrug, "he deserves to know the truth."

Blaine let's out a sigh, "I'll never get you married off."

I laugh in return, "probably not, plus you would just be jealous anyway."

He rolls his eyes, "honestly I wish someone would take you off my hands for awhile." He gives me small smile, a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

"Oh sure, then who would take care of you? You big man baby." I roll my eyes with a smile.

I take a sip of the sweet tea I was holding, nothing like a cool glass of sweet tea on a warm summer day. We were at the church, preparing for another service with a fellowship dinner afterwords, the hallway crowded with people.

I felt someone bump into me harshly, causing me to stumble and spill my tea on my dress.

"Oh my Gosh, I'm so so sorry. Here, let me get you some napkins." A very tall and very attractive guy says to me as he scrambles to grab some napkins from a nearby table.

"Thank you." I say as I wipe as much of the tea off my dress as possible.

"I'm so sorry." He apologizes again.

"It's no big deal, accidents happen." I give him a small smile, "I have some clothes in my vehicle anyway."

I turn to walk out to my truck, slipping out the front door and into the parking lot. I go out and grab the clothes from my truck before going back in and into the bathroom to change.

I slip on the bootcut jeans and black v-neck tshirt, sliding my boots back on. I straighten my hair back down and reapply some lipgloss that I had in my wrangler purse.

I grab my dress from the floor and exit the bathroom, taking my dress and tossing it into the truck for me to deal with later, nothing a little stain remover won't cure.

"Wow, I'm not sure I've ever seen a girl who can pull off a dress, a dress covered in tea, AND jeans." A hear someone chuckle from behind me.

I turn around to see the guy who had bumped into me. He was very tall and muscular, his tan skin and dark hair making his blue eyes even more vibrant.

"Thank you." I smile at him.

"So are you from around here?" He asks, his eyes grazing me up and down.

"Yeah, I would ask you the same thing but I know you're not."

He scoffs, "How so?"

"Well for one, it's a small town, everybody knows everybody, and well, for two, you can tell you aren't very comfortable in those brand news boots." I laugh.

His eyes widen, "it looks stupid doesn't it?"

I smile with a shake of my head, "No, it doesn't. Those wranglers sure do wonders for your butt, though."

He blushes slightly, making him even more attractive, "thanks."

I nod my head, "So what brings you to this part of the world?"
