when we reached the run down barn just behind the house we looked at each other and laughed like Jessie and i did.. uncontrollably. Daniella's laugh was like her voice sweet and soft i could listen to her laugh over and over like replaying my favorite song on the country station. i watched as she walked with her orange hair trailing behind her. i looked out from the barn.
"bad luck" i felt Daniella come to stand beside me as she leaned over to whisper softly in my ear.
"its not bad, it was perfect" she pulled her lips away from my ear when i turned me head to face her she took my hand in hers.
"Dance with me Chance" i hated dancing but she sounded so happy i couldn't say no.
"ok" she smiled and led me to the middle of the barn, her waist long hair sending rain drops into the air as she spun back to face me. gently taking her into my arms i watched as her eyes continued reflecting the blue color.
"now what?" she just giggled.
"Chance have you never danced before" i was once again embarrassed.
"no i haven't" she blushed.
"well what are we ever going to do with you" she glanced at her boots then back at me i thought of something to say that wouldn't embarrass myself even more then i had, the two words just slipped out.
"teach me" her giggle turned to a light chuckle
"okay well we have to get closer" she pulled me closer putting her arms gently around my neck and i was speachless.
"like this then you just start to sway back and forth like this" she seemed pleased, i on the other hand tried not to laugh at the thought of me dancing. a few minuets past as we danced there in the barn. when we stopped she looked out at the rain.
"look the rain is stopping" she took her arms off me and mine fell from her small waist.
"we should go before my mom thinks we eloped or somethin" she looked at me with a smile
"yea we wouldn't want that" we walked hand in hand back to the house.
when mom seen us standing there dripping wet she laughed and came over.
"well i guess you guys got caught in the rain" i let go of Daniellas hand and looked at my clothing then to my mom.
"yea just a little" we all laughed and my mom started walking up to her room as she turned to look at us.
"i think i have some old shorts that will fit you Daniella, Chance don't stand there like a deer in the headlights go get the young lady a sweater or shirt she can change into and change well your at it" her voice was mocking but i did as she asked.
"yes Mam"
after changeing i grabbed a warm sweater for Daniella, when i went back down to give it to her, i seen mom had given her track pants instead of shorts and a small tank top. Daniella was sitting on the floor while mom brushed her wet orange hair. even in baggy clothes she was beautiful, i walked over and handed her the sweater as i sat on the love seat across the room. when mom had finished with her hair she came and sat beside me.
"hmm" she looked at me smiling.
"cartoons??" i laughed.
"yes we can watch cartoons" she snuggled into my side as i kissed the top of her head and turned on loony tunes.
acouple hours had past when i noticed the time i turned to Daniella.
"its almost diner" her eyes widened and she jumped off the love seat.
