ACE
Opening my eyes to the first morning light is how my day started. Now the ending. Let me tell you. Was not as pleasant as the morning. How about I tell hat happened. It was a normal day like it should have been. Although I did get a little stalkerish maybe? No I don't think it was stalkerish. A little weird yeah possibly. OK that's besides the point. Morning time. That's where I'll start.
Opening my eyes shades of bright pinks, oranges and purples stand out. Rolling over I stretch my arms above my head until I hear the pop. Laying there for a minuet I breath in and to convince myself to get out of the bed. You know how comfy this bed is. The best comfy so soft and warm. After a while I sit up let's see shower first or eat first? Eh whatever shower first. There will come a day where I eat then shower. Just you watch.
Walking into the bathroom I go to the sink and turn the faucet on. Cupping my hands together I let them get wet and collect water. The coldness bring me to a sudden awakeness. Yes I did just say awakeness.
Getting a towel I dry my face a little and put the towel down. Walking over the the toilet I handle my business. What. You don't have to handle your business in the morning. If you don't you know you are not being honest here. Oh well. Getting my business done I get undress and hope in the shower quickly.
After drying off I went into my closet and looked for some jeans and a t-shirt. I'm done getting myself ready and head downstairs towards the kitchen. Hmm, what should I make. I'm in the mood for some waffles. Ooooh and some fruit. Ha. Yes, going towards the cabinet I get the waffle mix and start to look for a bowl. Getting the mix in side I blend it together. This is going to be sooooo good. After putting the mix into the waffle maker I get the fruit ready.
15 Minuets Later
After eating and cleaning up breakfast I walk back upstairs and around the corner to my art room. I had set the canvas up by the window so I could get a view of the land. Did you know there was a lake and meadow. The scene is beautiful. Grabbing the red, white, pink and green paint I set aside some water. I decided I was going to paint the meadow starting with the flowers rather than the lake. Breathing in and out I prepare myself. Time to get to work.
3 hours later
Being so concentrated on the painting I barley say her. Looking out the window I saw here clearly now. Remember when I said I felt stalkerish at some point in my day. Remember that. Yeah this was it. The moment in my day. Although I don't think looking at someone with their horse walking back to their home is stalkerish. I think it's one step to getting to know your neighbors right. I mean let's be honest here now I know she has a horse and maybe likes the outdoors. It's not like I could have a conversation with her and just ask. I mean I could but that would require me to actually go say hi. I did once and that was when she gave me that wonderfully made pie. That pie was sooo goo...
I didn't thank her properly for it. WOW! Way to go Ace the jerk. Probably what she thinks of me now. Maybe I should go say thank you. Yeah. Yeah I'll use that as an excuse to talk to her.
Putting down the paint brush I go to grab one of my paint towels and clean off my hands. Heading down the stairs I walk out the front door and towards her home. Ok what am I going to say.
"Hey Ivy thank you for the pie"
No that sounds to eh
"Hey Ivy. You make the best pie in the world thank you for letting me enjoy it"
Ugh. No that was toooo just no.
Looking up I see I was almost walking around to the side of her house. Hmmm, looks like I beat her to the door. Maybe she
"AHHH!"
"AHHH"
"Why are we yelling" I screamed out
Wait? I was screaming. She puts her hand to her chest and breathes.
"You scared me, that my first instinct"
"Oh, um sorry" Chuckling I put my head down
"Wait why did you scream"
Looking up I look away
"You..um..you screamed and sooo...um..I..yeah." Total silence. That's what happened after. Yep great job Ace
"Ace" She laughs. Well silence broken
"Sorry" I laughed
"It's ok I just wasn't expecting um anyone."
Well there goes my thank you for the pie. She must be busy.
"Sorry, I can go if you're busy"
"No, um it's all good I was just going to do some more unpacking and cleaning. Was there something you needed."
Yes, just a thank you and how you look so beautiful and have really amazing eyes. See I would say that last part but I don't think it would be good. So I stick to this instead.
"Oh um no I was just coming over to um say you make some really good pie." Putting my hand to my neck I rub it softly. Goodness gracious i'm awkward.
Laughing. She laughs. "You came over to tell me about my pie"
"Yes, It was...I just wanted to again say thank you and that it was heaven."
Wow! Just keep making a fool of yourself. Yep that's good.
Smiling she turns around and heads to the front, "There's more if you'd like some."
There's more! Oh yes! Score. Or not. "I wouldn't want to intrude...I.."
Laughing she looks at me like I need help. Oh believe me I do. I know it and now so does she.
"Oh come on in and have a bite, besides between you and me it's lunch time anyway so I could make do with some food and pie. Wouldn't you."
"That would be nice, thank you Ivy"
Oh it would be nice. Look at her. So kind. I would not share that heavenly pie with anyone.
Smiling we walk towards the front door, but she pauses a little to speak. "I should warn you Max is a little protective."
Annnnnnd, just take your butt home and forget about the pie and the girl. I don't want to see her and some guy. Nope i'm good. "Oh if your boyfriend is home we don't have to do this"
"Ace"
"Yes"
"Max is a dog, Huskey to be exact"
"Oh" A dog. I was about to leave because of a dog. HA! Aint that funny. I love dogs.
"Yes oh, Come on in"
Walking to the door she turns again, "Seriously I meant it"
"Lord help me then right" I chuckle nervously. Just a little, because i'm tough. Oh come on the dog can't be that bad. She doesn't have to be that serious.
When she opens the door I lied. I was not tough in this moment. I screech and when I say screech it was not manly either.
"Lord have Mercy!"
Well hello to you to Max.
