Star Nights Gaze

Romance within tragity

~At the public library ~

" All right, lift up your shirt. Don't worry no one's here or got back here for that matter."

This is probably the closes I'll ever get to guys touching me in a sexual way. Damn, I get that your patching me up, but your hands are FREEZING.

"You do whatever. I need to check out something."

' Were have I heard the voice?"

' Stop... it's book time.'

I search and search for the book I'm looking for, but I can't seem to find it. Thanks to the people that checked it out - or to the people that don't put things back where there supposed to go. I finally let out a sigh of defeat and just let it be instead of continuing  searching.

"Not there?"

Don't get me wrong I don't normally get scared, but when it's dead silent, and someone's behind you and spoke out of nowhere... it spooks you.

"Don't do that. I don't like that, unless I'm the one doing it." Yes I'm one of THOSE people.

"Noted. Hey! I've been meaning to ask you something."

"Same. You first."

"Have we met before? I've been getting deja vu."

"Not that I know of, but I swear I've heard your voice before."

"Maybe we have, and we just don't know it." Is it possible to state and question something at the same time?

"That would be ironic. My name's Isabel." There's a high demand for introductions for a reason.

"Ronny."

' Did I make a friend? And if I did is he going to stick around? '

We strayed from human contact again, but this time for chitchat. While we did, I took glances at him. I don't even know why I did. I just did.

Dirty blond hair, slightly tanned, brown eyes and a dog tag. I'm not going to be impolite and try to read it...besides it's probably personal and on the "don't touch" list.

"This was fun. We should do this again." He looks so much better smiling.  

"Not unless it's a date next time." Why are his eyebrows doing a wave motion? Wait... can I do that?

"Try asking again later. Can you take me home?" I ask. It's dark and I'm worse for ware. Even the damn yawns wont leave me alone.

"If you fall asleep here I'll carry you to the car like a bride." Does he even got the strength?

"Nah. I want my bed."

"Fair enough."

"Here... so we can stay in touch." He smiled as he gave me his number in return. How many people wanted his number and didn't get it? I need to stop thinking when I'm tired.

~After the drive ~

I was about to go inside, when I felt Ronny suddenly take me by the hand.

" I want to take you somewhere, and it has to be tonight...well, maybe not tonight, but another night." Is that hesitation I hear?

"Sure. Sounds good. See ya' around?" A smile and a wave, and I was back inside.

" Just in time for dinner."

"Sorry, I'm l-late-"

" It's okay. When I was your age, I did the same thing. Grab ya' a plate and sit at the table."

I was passing the salt to mom, when Ryan asked me:

" So... where were you?"

' Not now Ryan. ' I pleaded in my head.

" I bet she was with a boy~"

"Andrew-" Thanks mom for letting me finish what I was GOING to say.

"Clean up, on Friday we're going to visit the cemetery. Be on your best behavior."

"We always are." I state to her, not needing my bros to say anything.
