A Forbidden Lover

Chapter 1

I opened up the car door; closed my eyes and stretched taking in all of the fresh air. "It feels good to be back home Mom." I tell her as she works her way on getting my two siblings out.

My younger sister Julia walked over to me after excitedly hopping out of the car. "You mean this is the place where mom lived with dad and you" she twirled around on the green grass the home had on it.

"Yeah though the area has changed a lot since I was little, but that precious air I can remember is still here." I smiled at her.

"So when is daddy going to join us." My mom didn't say a word just continued to grab out belongs we brought. Though my sister was almost ten and sorta knew what a divorce was and I mean sorta she does understand that this is what is happening. "Alright then... I'll just help out with the bags. Mommy can I have mine please." I turned around to the back of my seat and opened the door looking at my baby brother. "Alright little goat let's get you out of that stuffy car seat." I reached in to unbuckle his seat, so I could pick him up. Turning around with him in my arms "Look Carter this is the area big sister grew up in when we I was your age. He just laughed his little laugh. "Oh and what do you find so funny" though the answers soon came to my nose. "Hey mom where's the person with our keys Carter needs a changing."

"They'll be here any minute Veronica just change him in the car with his changing pad." Mom spoke up as she placed the last of our belongs on the ground. I grabbed Carter's diper bag and grabbed his changing pad out of it. Once he had a clean diaper and I wiped my hands with some disinfectant wipes I threw it in the neighbors trash can hoping they wouldn't mind. Then a blue working truck pulled up next to our house and a guy about 5'8-6'0 with brown poofy hair, a fairly built body, and peach skin hopped out of it. The guy walked over to my mother and she gave smiled.

"Jason it been such a long time since I saw you, but where is your uncle I thought he would deliver the keys to us." My mom questioned with concern.

"Oh well ever since Aunt Belladonna died he has really been him self lately he asked me to drop the keys off to the new residents I didn't know it would be you Mrs. Gemstone"

"I'm so sorry that Bell passed away she must have been so young...Oh and it Miss Gemstone now I've divorced Peterson. It actually the reason we moved here. But I am so happy to see you again you had been so small the last time we met." She gave a small smile and gave Jason a gentle hug. At this point I had walked over to mom confused at who this handsome man was I mean I can't deny it he's handsome. But how does mom know him. My mom looked over to me and introduced me "Ahh this young lady is my daughter Veronica Heartly Gemstone you two never actually meet but when you came with your Aunt and Uncle I use to talk about her a lot."

Why was my middle name used... Jason looked over and me a gave a kind smile and stuck his hand out. Being the sweet loving person I am I took his hand and shook it. "Hello there my name is Jason Hatterson it's nice to see you again." I gave a confused look and he took his had away and put it behind his head embarrassed but jokingly replied "Let me tell you what I meant basically your mom and dad use to talk about you a lot so it felt like I had met you just not in real life." I laughed understanding what he meant and looked up to see his face again.

Though this gave me a better look at his face his eyes were a pretty sea blue and right by the corner of his eyes luckily it missed his pretty eye or he could have been blind in it. The scar looked like that of a scratch from a cat or a dog. The rest of his facial features were quite nice as well. I must have dazed out because Jason seemed to have touched my shoulder causing a zap to go threw me. "Ouch! You zapped me."

"Guess that means we have a connection" he playfully teased. Which made me laugh a little. "Did my face put you in a trance?" I took his hand off my shoulder with his flirty remark.

"No sir I was entranced by the scar on your face is it real?" He smiled and agreed. Wow... My little sister interrupted the conversation we had and stood in front of me.

"Why hello there sir aren't you quite handsome person." She did a light hair flip with a strand of her natural blonde balayage hair. "As you can see a very pretty girl know as Julia age nine and a half is standing right before you asking for you to take her hand in marriage." Julia had put her hand out to Jason and he gave a small chuckle reaching over he placed something in her hand and gave he a wink. When he removed his hands laying in Julia's was the keys to house. "Mommy look I got the key!!!"

She showed our mom them and she took them gentle from her smiling. Jason got back in his truck and waved bye to us before he left. "I think he likes you Veronica." I laugh at my mom's comment,but before I said any thing Julia cut in.

"No way mom don't lie to her he likes me." She proudly stated continuing " He even gave me the house keys." I sighed and gave her a glimpse of hope.

"Yeah your probably right Julia he did give the keys that's really like giving his heart to you." She happily skipped up to the door as mom opened it and we walked inside with our stuff. "I go choose a room mom okay!" My mom gave the okay as she held Carter and showed him around. So I headed up stairs though Julia raced me up to pick first dibs that's just like her... The top floor 4 rooms plus an open room while the bottom had the kitchen, the winning room, the bathroom, a door to the backyard, and a living room.

I skipped the first room since I heard Julia cheering about getting a "boyfriend" as she put it. Poor Jason... After picking between two rooms as the master bed room belonged to mom of course I choose the last one since it would let me help mom take care of Carter. When I walked in the room I was amazed since we had it furnished the room had a twin bed but near the window it had a window seat where the bottom aloud me to place books and other stuff if I wanted. Julia wanted the biggest room which was the first I guess meaning that my room wasn't super big but good enough for me I could fit my desk in here, my dresser and the closet was nice as well. I may not have that stuff yet but it will soon be here. I stretch my arms out and fall on to my best new friend my bed. "I guess Carter will sleep with mom till his crib and stuff gets here." Tomorrow me and Julia have to start school I sighed and gentle drift off to sleep.
