Kerri Sanchez has a crush on her best friend's father, Mr. Leto, and soon learns he's quite interested in her as well. Her instincts lead...
This chapter was inspired by the song "I Put a Spell On You" by Annie Lennox. I highly suggest you listen as you read. Enjoy!
We turned in part one of our project and now we had the weekend to finish it. Allegra thought it'd be best to wait until then, so we could really focus. Not sure how much focusing I can handle, memories of Mr. Leto from Monday night were still swarming in my mind like hornets in a nest. Nevertheless, she's decided to spend the night at my house this time because her dad has to go to his routine real estate convention once every other month. Like that's what I need, a break from Mr. Leto.
Saturday couldn't come any sooner. The week absolutely dragged. It felt like an eternity since I'd seen Mr. Leto, not to mention, it's getting harder to look Allegra in the eye at times.
But this Saturday was particularly special; it was our Fall Festival. Every year, our neighborhood throws this big bash in the evening to celebrate fall with a parade, hayrides, magic acts, singers, candy apples, you name it! My mom, my brother, Allegra and I plan to go once her dad drops her off.
I looked at my outfit in the mirror; I had on a cream-colored mid-drift, some earth green slouch pants and a green checkered-pattern shirt.
*Ding Dong*
"Coming!" I yelled. I put my last finishing touches on my messy bun and skipped to the door.
Mr. Leto greeted me holding Allegra's overnight bag. Forget my outfit, he emulated rugged hot: faded blue jeans hung from his waist, a fitted white t-shirt snug around his abs and an open unbuttoned plaid shirt hung from shoulders, interlaced with brown, red and tan stripes. He looked at me through obscure, aviator shades.

"Hey, Kerri. Wow, look at you..." he said huskily as he gave me the elevator eyes, taking me in. The grit in his voice roused my senses.
"What was that dad?" Allegra asked as she ran up to the house and swung her book bag over her shoulder.
"I was just saying that I didn't know a rock star lived here!" his voice boomed as he recovered quickly and stepped into the house. The whiff of his cologne tickled my nose as he passed me. He was absolutely intoxicating.
"Yeah, Kerri, you look so hot. Any special reason?" curiosity rang in her voice. I knew she was alluding to Derek. I tried my best not to make eye contact with Mr. Leto.
"It's the fall festival. I gotta look good!" I placed my hand behind my head and fashioned a pose.
We burst into laughter instantly.
My mom came around the corner and waved Mr. Leto in the kitchen. Their conversation became murmurs as I got Allegra's bags settled in the living room.
