Boy on right is Kyle
The sun was shinning like it should be. There was a gentle breaze blowing throught my hair. This is summer, I thought to myself. I could get use to this. "Pers come on. Lets get moving, there'll be plenty of sun and wind at the top of that hill." I grinned at Shawna. "This is so beautiful. I love seeing all the life like this." I paused, "So alive"
I closed my eyes and listened. I heard Shawna move on without me.
I love the feeling of being alive. The wind snatched my hair and started playing with it. I smiled and watched as a few strands of my hair danced in front of my face.
it felt so good to just be alive and heathy. I started to follow Shawna up the hill. On the way down I'm so rolling! I thought to myself.
Finally i reached the top. first i saw shawna, then Derek (shawna's current boy toy) and jesse. Jesse's light brownish blond hair gleemed in the sunlight. He glance over then seeing me broke out into a huge grin. "Tiffiny!!!!!!!" he screamed like a little kid. I looked behind me to see Tiffiny, Jesse's girlfriend picking her way to the top of the hill. " Jesse!" she smiled.
I felt a pair of arms then latch onto my middle. I was picked up and spun around. My spinning attcker placed me down. I turn to be faced with a button down black shrit. I looked up and up and up into a pair of light green eyes. I smiled at Kyle, he was my best friend, dont ever tell shawna but if i was having a bad day only kyle couod cheer me up. I wrapped my arms around him to give him the best hug i could. Kyle was a good looking bear of a cowboy. he had huge hands, big arms, tall, and a nice deep voice. He face was almost always settled in a deep frown. But when with me he lost the frown and exchanged it for a smile that lit up his face. It took me forever to get him to talk but now we talk all the time. Hes the greatest guy ever.
He bent down and gave me bear hug. "Oh Pers I've missed you so much!" his whispered in my neck. I felt shivers go down my back. It felt like it had been years since I seen him. He got a new horse to train, so all of his free time with the new horse.
"Pers, Kyle come on! I'm hungry!" Shawna screamed at us. I felt Kyle's chest rumble with a chuckle. He let me go but kept his arm around my waist. He guided me towards the blanket laying wait for us. He sat down and pulled me into his lap and wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his head where my neck and shoulder met. I could feel every breath he took. I felt the hair on the back of my neck rise when his breath tickled my neck softly.
"You smell good." he whispered. I smiled and thanked him quietly. He turned me so that I was sitting on his lap side ways, and tightened his hold on my waist. I heard someone clear their throat. I looked over to see Shawna and everyone else watching us. I scrambled off his lap and stood up. He stood up and grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the food. He handed me a plate and started dishing up him a plate.
I dished me up a plate and went to go sit with Shawna and Derek when i felt someone put their arm around my shoulder and lead me to the very top of the hill. away from everyone else. I didn't mind everyone was being loud and Jesse looked like he might start a food fight soon. As we got farther away from the crowd Kyle's arm slide down from my shoulders to the protective place of my lower back. His big hand rested on the hip that was farthest from him, he pulled me close to him.
We reached a tree that stood proud at the top of the hill. Kyle let go of my hip and grabbed my food from me, he sat it so that it was beside him as he settled down he grabbed my now free with his and pulled me gently back onto his lap, i moved so i was sitting sideways and grabbed my food. I picked up a strawberry and was about to take a bite when Kyle stole the strawberry and took a big bite of it. He smiled like he was daring me to scold him. He knew i couldn't ever yell at him. I glared and grabbed another strawberry and took a bite. he wasn't getting this one.
Kyle smile and leaned close to whisper in my ear, " Did i mention that you look great?" i looked down at my dress. i forgot that i was in such a strange outfit. i felt my cheeks pool with blood.
