The Summer Time Heart

Claras P.O.V

I woke up and grabbed a banana off the counter then went to my room. I walked into my closet and figured out what I was gonna wear. I pulled out my black and white varsity jacket that had a C on it. I threw on a white tank, some black ripped skinnys and my Converse.The phone rang and u picked it up.

"Why hello gorgeous. What're your plans?" My brother asked.

Jake is 24, he has a wife and a baby on the way. He has green eyes and dark brown hair.

"Nothing today bro, wanna come pick me up and do something?"

"Sure, what do you wanna do princess?"

"You sound like you're in a good mood today, what happened?"

"Just found out Leah is having a girl and were going to name her Kylie."

"Awe. Congrats big bro! How about we go to a movie and go to grab some smoothies at Jamba Juice."

"Sounds great. I'll be there in an hour."

"See you then. Love you. Bye."

"Bye"

I hadn't seen my brother in about a year. Not too long but when I have the house to myself, it's quiet without him. Today this outfit just wasn't going to do. I need something better.

Clara ran up the stairs to her bedroom and there Andrew was laying on the bed reading a magazine.

"What the heck are you doing here Drew? You 'bout scared the living crap out of me."

"Oh I'm sorry love. Did I do that?"

"Yes. You did." She said calmly. "Jake is picking me up in an hour and if he finds out there was a boy in this house without mom knowing he's go all crazy and be all defensive. I am his only sister after all."

"Oh no. I'm so scared." he said in a sarcastic tone.

"You should be. What should I wear?"

"A dress."

"Ha. In your dreams."

I picked out my sweater that had thick cream, beige and dark blue strips, a light blue pair of skinny jeans, my beige scarf, my beige pumps, and a gold watch my mom got for my 15th birthday. I looked hot.

"Whoa babe. You look good. I mean you always do but why are you dressing up. its just Jake."

"I haven't seen him in a while and I can't look like a scruff in public with him. He's on the richer side."

"True." He said looking down. "The heels?"

"Don't worry I'm bringing flats too."

"Okay, did you want to bring your cream colored purse?"

"Yeah, I'll be right back." I head to the bathroom to straighten my hair and put on some neutral makeup and spray some Victoria Secret Dream perfume on me. I painted my nails dark blue and walked out of the bathroom.

"Babe, if anyone hits on you I will hit them."

"But you're not going."

"I might just have to stalk you and make sure no one does." He said while looking serious.

"Oh shush. I'll be fine. Plus, who would hit on me with my brother right beside me."

"Uh. Me."

I start laughing. "That's because you knows brother and me. A stranger won't dare to do that."

"Well stop looking so damn beautiful."

"Okay, Dad." He pulled my hand into his.

"Baby, look I'm just looking out for you."

"I know."

-----------------------------

"Wow, little sister has got some sass now."

"Yeah, yeah. Teachers call it attitude I call it treating others how they treat me."

We went to go see Ride Along with Ice Cube and Kevin Hart. It was absolutely hilarious. After that we went to go get some Jamba Juice. We sat at a table that wasn't too far from the counter.

"So, what's my little sister been up to?"

"School and just hanging out around the house. I've been seeing Andrew a lot more. And well..." I said cautiously. Should I tell him?

"Well what?"

"Andrew and I are dating."

"We all knew that would happen one day, we just didn't know when. You aren't having sex are you? If you are i'll-"

"We aren't and I'd tell you if we where. I promise."

"You better. I'll kick both of your butts. I'm not kidding."

"Okay, I understand. So how's Leah doing?"

"She's doing good. Our last appointment she wouldn't stop moving. She was punching and kicking around inside. She has me wrapped around her little pinkie that's for sure."

"Awe. Have you guys set up the nursery yet?"

"No, I wanted to know if you wanted to help me. I'm a guy. I don't know what I'm doing with a girls room. Help me?"

"Sure. Come by and grab me when you get the chance. I'll gladly help."

"You're the best." He said smiling "Hey I gotta take you back home. I've got work here soon. Sorry girlie. We'll hang out another time."

"Okay."

We got in the car and drove back home only to find Andrew on the porch with blue and purple orchids that where beautiful.

"I'll leave the two of you alone. Call me some time Clare. I need help with the nursery. Don't forget."

"Okay, love you."

"And I you."

A unlocked the door for Drew and I and walked in. He set the orchids in the counter and pushed me up against the wall by the stairs. He wrapped my face in his hands and kissed me with every thing he had.

"I've been waiting to do that since the day I met you."

I stood there speechless. Did he really just kiss me? His lips against mine, our bodies intertwined. It was amazing. I grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him in for another kiss. This one lasted until we couldn't breathe. He was an amazing kisser and the first guy to ever kiss me.

"Why did you kiss me right now?" I asked.

"Because I couldn't hold back my feelings. I know the love is just a shout in the void and that in the end were all doomed. The fact my love for you will burn brighter with every day I get to see your precious face. You're beautiful though you think you aren't. I'm in love with you. Even though the world may burn to dust and leave us without a soul I will love you to the very end."

I was speechless. I pulled him into another kiss and he pushed me against the wall and picked me up to where my legs are around his waist. He knew exactly what he was doing. He was amazing. It seemed like forever until we stopped.

He brought me into the basement and there was a spaghetti dinner for two with candles all around us. I put my hands up against my mouth and just thanked him. He grabbed the chair and pulled it out for me to sit. I do. He sat down across the table from me and he began eating. I did the same. Later that night we went up stairs and we watched Electra and War of The Worlds.We fell asleep intertwined in each others arms and it was beyond perfect. I never imagined myself falling in love with Andrew. He's the one I want to spend the rest of my life with.
