Love At First Sight

Chapter 3

Chapter 3- LAFS

I can always count on Darin. He's been there since the start. His dad is officer Miller and I've known him since birth. My dad says that we were probably best friends pre birth they way we are joined at the hip.

But, lately me and Darin have been drifting apart. A couple months ago he confessed that he had a kinda crush on me. He needed time to convince himself that he didn't have those feelings for me. We're all good now, though, because during that 3 weeks of self-rehab, he came back gay. Or confused. Point is, he likes boys.

In my opinion, every girl needs a gay best friend. They are so carefree. Like no one in the world can mess with them. Ya know, expect for the fact that they are deeply criticized by practically the whole world.

After I left Oh-Yo, I drove back over to the station. I wanted to shake more out of that boy. I couldn't stop thinking about him. He's just....his beautiful face was haunting me. I can't quite describe the feeling.

When I got to the station, Officer Miller greeted me excitedly. "Finally! Our secret weapon has arrived!"

"I would've come earlier but I had a yogurt craving. Is there something wrong?"

"You better believe there's something wrong. He won't talk! The only thing he said was, 'When is that hot babe gonna be here?'"

"Really?" I said, not hiding my excitement very well, "He said that about me?"

Officer Miller raised his eyebrow. "Kaysie...You can't like this boy. He's a criminal. A delinquent. You'd be better off with Darin. And he's gay!"

"Yes, sir. But how can you not love him? His face...his eyes.. Oh man. Officer have you SEEN his eyes?!"

He chuckled and shook his head. As he walked away he waved me to walk with him and I guessed we were going to the break down room.

I was right, of course, and I braced myself. Louis was sitting there, like he didn't have a care in the world and I wanted to kick him where it hurts. Does he realize how much trouble I'm going through right now because of him? I'm practically DEAD. I can't think straight, I couldn't sleep last night, and the worst part is...when I actually did fall asleep, I had sexual fantasy dreams about him.

His smirk made my heart race. I hoped he couldn't hear that meaty drum inside my chest. I walked in a circle around his chair. He nodded his head towards Officer Miller. I cleared my throat.

"David?" I asked, "Louis would feel much more comfortable If you exited the room". I don't know what it is about people in this town and raising eyebrows because that's what Officer Miller did. But he left anyways.

"So," Louis said, "Miss me?"

"Not at all" I lied, "Now Louis, we need to talk."

"You can call me Lou...if you want."

I nodded, "Thanks, but no thanks. This is strictly a business conversation. Now Louis. Tell me more about your family"

"What's there to say?"

"What are your parent's names? Your siblings names? Your hobbies?"

"Whatever. Umm, my dad's name is Troy, but I never really knew him. My step dad is Mark and my mom is Johanna."

"Mmm hmm"

"My sister's are Charlotte, Félicité, Daisy and Phoebe."

"Wow. Large family."

"Yeah...what about you, little miss perfect?"

"Psh. I'm far from that title."

"Prove it."

"What?"

"Prove you're not a perfect daddy's little girl."

And that's when I kissed him.
