Call You Mine

First encounter

Tuesday // August 1st // 1989

A couple days prior to now I'd noticed a purple and blue moving van across the street from my house.
A light blue car had parked itself just outside the neatly trimmed grass of the house witch had been filling up with worn furniture for the last four or so days.

I slightly pushed the curtain to the side just enough to satisfy my curiosity. Out from the car stepped a middle aged man and woman who looked about as complimentary as ice cream and ketchup. They both walked around the car to the trunk and took out one brown box each. They disappeared into the house but left the door open.

Seconds later a boy also came out of the car. He slammed the door shut and leaned against against it, staring at what I'm assuming to be his new home, and boy I'm hoping it is. He wore a loose white top tucked into a pair of acid wash jeans and wore a pair of high top converse. He must have fallen asleep in the car or something because his hair was messy and his body language was groggy.

He slipped his hands in his pockets and walked around the car as he looked at the scene in front of him. He stopped as he was facing my house and leaned back on the car again with his hands behind him. I wandered what he was doing as he studied my house from the plants on the lawn to the tiles on the roof. He looked at me through my window with a how-long-have-you-been-looking-at-me-for kind of look. I gasped as I realised how creepy I must have looked just staring at him through my window. I bent down so he couldn't see me anymore then after about ten seconds I shot back up to make sure he was gone.

Nope.
Still there.

A smug smile was plastered across his face as he took one of his hands out from behind him and gave me a small wave. All the blood from my body rushed to my face and I was frozen in my socks. I was trying to move but couldn't. Trying to walk away. Trying oh so hard.

He chuckled as he lowered his head and heaved himself off the car walking into the house. As he walked he scraped the back of his neck and stretched a little. The door closed behind him and I really didn't know how to feel.

Did I just fall in love with a stranger?

God, I need to stop doing this.

I planted myself on my bed and sat criss-cross as I started scanning through my magazine. Nothing I hadn't seen before though.

'Look at this famous person! Look what they're wearing! But look! Another famous person! Wearing the same thing! Embarrassing! Who wore it better?'

After folding down the corners of the pages I wanted to cut out, I headed down the stairs for my picturesque 5 course meal with the queen.

Jk I toasted a pop tart and ate it while I watched an episode of Full House.

I was trying to concentrate on the story line but that boy from earlier on really seemed to have had an impact on me because he was all I could think about. If I'm being honest here he really was something. He must have been from out of town because the boys around here sure don't look like that. Well, most of them. I can count a few hot boys from around here but there wouldn't be more than 4.

After deciding a pop tart was in fact not a sufficient meal, I grabbed my dirty white converse and a couple dollars, and headed down to the store to see what I could get for $5.67. It wasn't an extremely long walk, but it wasn't exactly a short dander. Once I reached it, I noticed something. Something I wished I hadn't.

The same blue car that was parked across the street. In the driveway.
Of
The
Store.

Great, if that boy is in there I better just get back in my cage because I look like a wild animal. And I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be a very good first impression.

I grabbed my money in one hand and walked right into the store. So far so good, no sign of blue car boy. I walked to the isle that had some decent foods and decided on a cup of noodles, tin of coke and a packet of oreos. Yep, that'll do. I paid for the oreos and noodles but forgot about the coke.

So I walked over to the fridge where the coke was. And where the boy was. And I couldn't help but notice where he was standing. Right in front of the coke. I made my way over to him.
Shit. Shit. Shit.

"Um.. Excuse me.."

"Hey, window girl! How ya doin" he said and held out his hand. Great I've only gone and earned myself the name 'window girl'. I shook his hand and nodded slightly.

'You got a name?' He said letting go of my hand. 'Yeah it's Calla. Calla Fox. Got a name yourself mister?' I asked mirroring his quirky personality. 'William Wheaton, but just call me Wil, with one 'l'' he said. 'Okay Wil with one 'l' mind if I squeeze past you?' I asked as I pointed to the cans of coke. 'I got it.' He said as he grabbed two tins of coke. Instead of handing me one he walked right to the cash register. I trailed behind him as the man behind the counter muttered, 'that'll be one ninety eight son.' Wil reached into his pocket and grabbed a two dollar bill and laid it on the counter. He grabbed the cans and handed me one. 'You really didn't have to do that' I said, feeling honestly so guilty. 'Don't sweat it. Hey, you want a ride back? It looks like it's gonna rain hard.' He said opening his can and taking a sip. 'No thanks' I carefully declined. 'Are you sure, I mean I do live across the street from you so it's not like I'm going out of my way to drive you home.' He said, though I still couldn't accept. He could totally drive off into the woods and tie me naked to a tree by my hair upside down. 'It's okay, thanks for the offer.. And the coke!' I said as I already started to walk down the path. I waved and turned around to carry on on my journey.

Wil was right, it did start to rain. Just a tiny bit. Then a tad bit heavier. And heavier, until it felt like heaven was draining it's pools on us. I heard a car beeb beside me and for the third time today, that blue car came into my sight. He rolled his window down and chuckled, looking at my completely soaked form.

'So, how about that ride?'
