Kevin's pov:
Kelly comes running across the street into my front lawn.
"What can I do?" She asks.
"Here, take this box up to my room. It's the first door on the left at the top of the stairs." I say, handing her a box.
"Woah this is heavy." She laughs. "What's in here?"
"My baseball trophies." I explain.
"I guess you win a lot." She jokes.
"Yeah well, I always get what I want." I give her a small wink and I see her blush, she tried to hide it, but I saw it.
I don't know, there's just something about this girl. I can tell that she's been through a lot, yet she's still able to crack a smile and joke around. She's strong. She's not like most other girls, and I want her to be mine.
Kelly walks away and brings the box into my house. I grab some other boxes and follow her inside.
I reach my room and find Kelly admiring the photos I already put up.
"Is this your little brother?" She asks, pointing to a picture of me and Riley.
"Yeah, his name's Riley." I say, putting down the boxes still in my hands.
"How old is he?"
"7, but he turns 8 in a week." I tell her.
"Awww are you having a party?" She asks, sitting down on my bed.
"I think so. Why?" I ask, sitting down next to her.
"I don't know. I wanna meet the little cutie." She admits.
I laugh a little and she smiles.
"I'm sure my parents will let you come." I say.
"I'd like that." She smiles. "Well I think it's sweet you put up a picture of you two. Are you guys close?"
"I guess. I mean, he's my little bro, and I love him." I say honestly.
Kelly gushes. "That's so adorable!"
I laugh and take this moment to look at her. Like really look at her. I want to memorize this face. This beautiful face. I want to get lost in her eyes. Her big blue eyes. I want her to be mine. All mine.
And she will be, soon. I mean, of course once Braden is out of the picture.
It becomes quiet and Kelly clears her throat. I think she noticed my staring, shoot.
"So where is your family now?" She questions, breaking the awkward silence.
"My parents are setting up in their room and Riley should be in his room too." I get up from my bed and walk down the hall, motioning for Kelly to follow.
I knock on his bedroom door, and he answers right away.
"Riley, this is Kelly, our new neighbor and my new friend." I tell him.
"Hi Riley!" Kelly exclaims, giving a small wave to my little brother.
"Nice to meet you." Riley smiles and gives Kelly a hug.
"Awww well aren't you just the cutest thing!" Kelly yells.
"You're pretty." Riley says. "Wanna be my girlfriend?"
I almost choke on my spit.
Little bro going in for the kill.
"Sorry Riley, but I think I'm too old for you." Kelly tries to explain.
