How She Gave Her Heart Away

The Talk...

 "Run, Brooklyn, run. This sidewalk will not run itself, keep going,"  Eric's  casing me in the car as I am jogging to FERGALISIOUS BY FERGIE.

    "Hey, why are you following me," I smile and take my earbuds out.

"No, I was about to stop by your house to see if you want to go to a movie or dinner but your are jogging. And by the way you look HOT in a sports bra with your hair up with yoga pants", Eric grins.

I laugh and look down, "Maybe, But I have to go shower and its already, um, 5:30. Do you just want to wait to wait until tomorrow?"

"No, Lets go when you get out the shower and get all "pretty" we can go to the movies and see a late showing movie or something."

"I don't know, I got a test to study for tomorrow."

"Well, you can get dressed and we can go some where and study. Please this is me trying to ask you out on a date. So please, can you go?"

"Yeah, I guess so .  Give me about 20 minutes.  you can come in if you want or sit in the car for twenty minutes."

"I will come in and watch T.V  in your room if that's okay."

"Yeah.'

I finish my jog back to my house and go inside to my room. As I am looking for my clothes I hear Eric coming up stairs so I quickly run in my bathroom, start the shower and quickly get in. Then I hear the T.V turn on.

 20 minutes pass by and I am all dressed and getting my books ready, "Want to study at the park? Because I can bring a blanket?"

Eric turns off the T.V , "Sure if that is what you want to do? But I am starving?"

I look at him and smile, " McDonalds?"

"Eww , you know I hate that place. What about Dairy Queen?"

"Yeah, I know. Dairy Queen sounds good. You're driving though, right?"

"Yeah, sure babe. Ready?"

I nod and exit my room and walk downstairs, my dad's girlfriend is in the kitchen.

"UM, what are you doing in my house?" I look at her with a bitchy smirk.

"Well, your dad gave me a key last week so I can clean out some room for my son to have, he didn't tell you I was moving in?"

I am furious because (1) He tells me everything and (2) I freaking hate her and her stupid ass son with a passion.

"So you just walk in unannounced or invited, you know what I don't even care. Goodbye Marcie."

I slam the door behind me and walk to Eric's truck.

"What is so wrong with her," Eric says as we get in the car, " I mean, she doesn't look all that bad."

I roll my eyes, "Really, everything. She is changing my dad's attitude and personality."

I sit quiety and just listen to the music that's playing in the car. We pull in the drive way of Dairy Queen I tell Eric my order and wait patiently for the food.

Then Eric breaks the silence with one of those, "Look baby, I understand what I said was stupid. Could you talk to me now?"

I can not help to smile. But now I am starting to feel guilty because I have to talk to him about California.

"See, there is that beautiful smile I have been waiting on. Speaking of waiting on, where is our food?"

"I don't know they usually take forever. "

Just as I say this, the person comes to the window with our food, finally. We start to head to the park.

                                                            >___>___>___>

We get to the park and find our spot. 20 minutes later, we are almost done studying.

"Eric I need to tell you something."
