I get dressed the following morning to match the weather. It is hot outside. I straighten to hair and put the necklace my dad gave me two weeks before he died. I walk downstairs after missing my necklace when Paul shows up.
I open the door and his eyes immediately lock with mine. My eye practically melt in his deep brown eyes. He smiles and he asks if I'm ready when he breaks the state. I blush, my freckles popping out in the red, and I nod. He opens my door for me and I climb into his truck.
"I like the fact you drive." I smile. "Will you be my new driver?"
He smirks. "Sure thing, gorgeous."
He pulls up to a nice looking cabin. He walks me inside and a man pats Paul's shoulder.
"Hi, I'm Sam, welcome to my home." He smiles. "Emily, come meet Paul's friend!"
A beautiful woman with a long claw scar on her jaw walks in. "I'm Emily."
"Hi, Emily, hi Sam." I greet them both. "I'm Miranda."
Emily smiles at me and asks, "wanna help with lunch?"
"If I can cook." I smile.
She nods and we make way to the kitchen. I am cooking homemade chili when I hear a bunch of male voices fill the small cabin. Emily sighs and she goes to greet the visitors.
I met all of Paul's friends and they all fell in love with my cooking. Emily even compliments my cooking. I thank her, of course. I am sitting on the couch with Jared and his girlfriend, Kim.
"Miranda, would you like to go shopping with me tomorrow?" Kim asks. "I'll have Paul drive you here to meet up."
"That sounds fun." I smile. "Paul?" I bat my brown eyes at him.
He glares into my eyes and his eyes soften. "Fine."
I kiss his cheek and I run out to his truck, ready to go home. Paul comes out after ten minutes and he drives back to his hose. I walk across the street to my house. Mama has made it home from her morning shift.
"How was your day?" She asks.
"Amazing; I'm going with my new friend, Kim, tomorrow. Paul is driving me to Sam's to meet her. Sam is a new friend also. Heck, I am friends with a whole group of people. All guys, but Kim."
Mama smiles. "That's great , baby. I have been moved to night shift. I go in tomorrow night."
I nod. "Well, be careful and have fun."
I go upstairs and I enter my room. I lock the door behind me and I change. I am full off the chili I made at Sam and Emily's. I climb into my bed and I face my wall. I close my eyes and I drift off to sleep.
