Whispers In Nature

Chapter 4

We are at Faye's home, but I was surprised that she lives 3 blocks away from my home. I signed and voiced, "Hey Faye, that white have a little black triangle on a front with number 250 and that's my house."

Faye spoke, "You don't have to walk with me to my home."

"Why not?" I signed and voiced.

"Okay, um, do you want to come in and have a drink or hang out?"

I was unexpecting that she invited me in. "Sure."

"Come on, we go to my room and get know each other, but first, we get some drink and bring it upstairs." She saw her mom is in the kitchen. She said, "Hello, mom! I want to introduce my new friend. This is Eliz Byrd, she is deaf that can read lips and here is my mom."

Her mom said, "Hello, please call me Susan."

I nodded. I signed and voiced, "Nice meeting to you, Susan. Nice house what you have." I was shy and get it together. I shook my head and I hope not Faye noticed it.

Faye noticed, but I don't mind at all and whoa! Do I feel weird around her? How can I feel about her? She isn't act like 17 years old. Faye spoke, "Mom, we go to my room and hang out. Is that okay with you?"

Susan spoke, "Sure. Do you want me to make food and bring to your room?"

She said, "No, mom. Thank you for asking. Come on, Eliz."

I voiced, "Bye, Susan." I followed her to her room.

Faye spoke, "Sorry about my mom. Can I ask you a question?"

Oh, no! I hope she didn't notice what I did recently. I voiced, "Sure."

She spoke, "Are you okay?"

I mystery. I voiced, "Yes, why?"

"I want to make sure that you are okay because you felt shy around me even you met my mom."

I scratched my neck and I voiced, "You noticed? Oh, boy... I am sorry if I did that?"

"Yes, I did notice it and don't be sorry. It's okay, really."

I signed and soft-voiced, "Thanks."

Faye shocked from that so soft voice from her lips as sweet. Stop, Faye! Slow down, you haven't known her yet.

I waved on her face to make her wake from daydreaming. Hope she is okay...

I signed and voiced, "Finally, are you okay? What are you thinking about? Hope it's not bad." I chuckled.

She said,"Yes, I am okay. Sorry, it wasn't bad and can't talk about it." I liked her laughs and smiles. Oh, my gosh! I really like her and I do have boyfriend. I didn't talk about him with her and I don't know what I say to her.

I spoke softly, "Goody. Oh, okay and take your time. Remember, I am your friend if you want me to be. You know, you are the only one willing to be a friend with me." My head shook down and don't know what she will say.
