Nathan and Genevieve [Completed]

Chapter 3: One week of happiness

I took the whole week off to spend time with Genevieve. The next day, I sat down with Genevieve at the kitchen table. There was an awkward moment of silence when we sat down.

I asked her, "What's your favorite food?" "Well it's pizza and this is really awkward." She said squeezing her teddy bear tighter.

"Yeah, your right. I continued, do you always carry that teddy bear around? I mean how old are you?"

"If you must know yes and I'm eleven. Now tell me about yourself."

I said, "Well, I'm thirty years old, I'm a math teacher, my favorite color is orange, and don't laugh but my middle name is Burb."

Before I could say anything she busted out laughed. "Ha-ha, Burb?! Is that even a name?"

"Yeah, well what kind of name is Zenaida Zalia Genevieve?" I asked offended.

"It's much better than Burb!"

The rest of the week was awesome. On Monday we went to the Statue of Liberty. Tuesday, we went horseback riding. Wednesday went to laser tag. Thursday we went camping......inside. Friday was a super day of fun. It was her last day with me and I wanted to special. We went to the carnival that was in town that weekend.

"Hey, Will, you get on that one with me?" She asked me.

I said, "Heck no, that's terrifying."

"Come on, it's not even that scary." She said.

"OH..." I groan. "Come on." She said pulling towards the ride.
