Radiate [ON HOLD]

4

Today is a half day for work, because it is Saturday so I won't work at the children center and only have to work 3 hours at the berry fields.

As I walk I see Haden emerge from his building in long dark jeans and a tight fitting green tee shirt. His muscles popping out like popcorn.

"Good morning." He says coming up behind me.

"Morning." I say calmly.

"Ready for work?" He asks cheery.

"Yea, I guess. I mean I wouldn't be here for fun." I complain.

"I think picking berries are fun. Do you maybe want to hang out after work?" He asks politely.

"Sure." I say my heart racing, I mean he just asked if he could hang out with me.

"Awesome, we can meet at my place and you can choose where to hang." He says giving me a smile.

"Ok, we're here so I'll see ya later?" I say.

"Bye." He says and continues his way to his patch.

As I bolt home, hopefully making enough time for myself to get ready for my hang out with Haden. I wear my favorite tee shirt and some jeans. I put my hair down and let the natural waves fall down my back, and I apply my homemade lip balm.

I slip on a pair of my flip flops and leave the apartment.

---

We meet outside his building and I decide to take him to the shoreline. We walk in silence to the shoreline until we start to swish our feet around in the water.

"So.." He starts. "How was your day?"

"Fine."

---

After awhile talking and asking stuff he says he starts to trust me.

"I have my entire left leg missing. I have a prosthetic made of metal and copper, that my dad made for me before I was shipped out here." He confesses.

"How were you not shipped out here like the others?" I ask.

"That's another story for another time." He says.

"Ok." I say.
