TIMOTHÉE
july 8th 17:38pm
— somewhere in southern france
"dépêche-toi timmy la famille arrive!" my father yelled up to me through my open bedroom window with his broad french accent.
"oui! je serai dans un instant" i grabbed the nearest shirt, a sky blue polo, and jogged out to the front yard.
it was summertime and summer here was hot. i was sweating my balls off.
i squinted up at my father, the sun shining in my eyes. "fils. c'est la famille Kelly. ils restent avec nous pour l'été."
my dad would always do this thing where he would rent out some spare rooms in the house - just for extra cash and something for us to do in the summer.
i looked over at the family standing a few feet away and smiled at the mother who instantly gleamed back at me with her pearly white teeth.
my gaze then moved along past the father (who was standing tall yet still looked approachable) before stopping on a young girl.
she looked around my age; 17.
i tried my best not to stare at the girl, but she was gorgeous with her dark brown curls and now rosey cheeks.
"our son sadly won't be joining us. he's currently on a last minute business trip" the mother informed my own. scottish. her accent. they're scottish.
i cleared my throat and stuck my hand out to the tall man who had just arrived. "i'm timothée" i beamed at him, trying my best to make a good first impression. he shook my hand in a friendly yet strong grip.
"nice to meet you, timothée. i'm martin" i nodded, pursing my lips before moving along to the mother.
i placed my hand in hers before kissing either side of her face. "michelle" she smiled at me. "lovely to meet you, michelle" i smiled back before letting go of her hand, squeezing my eyes shut as i moved past my father who was mid conversation with the man.
my feet stopped in front of the petite girl. she looked up at me with her full green eyes and smiled slightly, showing no teeth, only with her plump pink lips. i smiled back and kept eye contact as i lifted my hand to the back of her neck
"and you are?" "thalia" she stated. beautiful name.
i nodded and kissed her left cheek gently before moving to the right. she took my lead and did the same, making me smile to myself as we pulled away. "pleasure to meet you, thalia." i grinned at the girl. "pleasures all mine, timothée."
