1925, Alabama
Viola
I walked into church early noon for choir practice. I had my nice rag dress on and a bow
See I usually would be singing solo but I got caught sleeping at church and pastor said that I wasn't condoning myself in a godly manner.
I honestly have no clue in the world what that means. I took my seat in the front row of the church.
I was caught gawking at Willie, Sr.Marie Lou's son. He is 19 tall and built strong.
He is light but not fair he has the cutest dimples ever. He has this thing he does where he rolls up his sleeves to show his veins in his arm.
Or when he undoes his shirt after working in the fields, I watch as his sweat drips down his body in awe.
I believe he is creole but I never asked. At church he would constantly turn around and smile at me or wink.
He was around 20 I believe and I am only 15. Nothing unusual it's just the fact that he's technically a bachelor now and that he will be married off soon.
I was the prettiest girl Open Springs had to offer I have a nice dark smooth skin and a big white smile.
I sat in the row twiddling my fingers feeling Willies eyes on me.
Oh he was so handsome and kind, and just everything. Thank God mercy my best friend walked over to sit next to me.
She saved me from the thoughts of lust.
