prologue

april 17 1986

rose's pov

"hi mom and dad, hi brent," amanda smiled as she sauntered over to her family as her skirt bounced up and down and her tennis racket swung back and forth in her left hand.

"hello sunshine!" her mother rose from her seat, removing her shades to show her gleaming hazel eyes and scatted freckles.

amanda gave her mother a hug then smiled a huge smile and waved, "hi daddy!"

"hey mandy! come give your old dad a hug!" he held his arms out as he leaned back in his chair, waiting for amanda to walk towards him.

after amanda pulled away from the hug she ruffled her brother's hair and bopped his nose, "hi brent!"

her brother pushed her hand away and patted his already gelled hair, "hey 'manda. who's your friend?"

"oh!" amanda turned to see me awkwardly standing as i played with the grip of the tennis racket. "this is my girlfriend! family meet rose, rose meet family!"

"hello," i quietly said as i did a half wave to her family, walking closer towards them.

"hello, i'm mrs. irwin, amanda's mom but you already knew that. you can call me beth if you would like though." beth held out her hand to me and i shook it, i then looked past her shoulder to see amanda's father smiling at me.

"hello rose," her father's deep, husky voice rung through my ears, down my spine and made it's way to my knees where i felt them buckle. "i'm amanda's father, mr. irwin, or ashton."

my mouth fell slightly ajar as i stared up at the attractive man in front of me, his hair was quiet curly but seemed to be slicked back with gel. his freshly iron white golf pants fit him perfectly and his blue polo tucked into place in his pants. his smile perfect and his views prominent on the hand that was held out for me to shake.

i shook my head and pushed my hair behind my ear, "i'm sorry, hello."
