it's been a week since hurricane zachary. it's been a week since I poured my heart out to sloan. since I fell asleep on her as she stroked my hair. her fingertips like a gently breeze. she's still here, still I believe falling for me. as we get closer and closer everything fades. all my anxiety, all my thoughts fade, she a focal point and i'm the photographer. I have been photographing us way too often. we took a small small pause she had something to do this weekend.

I write this in my journal to say I am growing with her, for her, growing for myself. it's refreshing the idea of wanting to just be alive. to feel the grass between fingertips, to hug a tree, to smell a flower. to soak in the sun that is shining on us always.

the gods did something right.

i stop writing i place my pen on my desk and walk to my bed. it's friday i have no plans so now i need a nap.

i close my eyes and fall into a slumber that lasts for two hours.

     ❏

awaken by a knock on my door and my phone pinging like crazy. i go open the door to see my father. 'ward cameron' the prominent real estate owner, the richest kook in kook land 'technically'. practically owns everyone.

"son, sorry to wake you your dinner is in the kitchen, you missed our once a week dinners. i called you at least five times. i need you on sunday bright and early we are taking the boat out to go fish" he pats my on the shoulder with a light squeeze.

"sunday it is dad, and thank you i'll go freshen up and eat now. also no need for an apology if it wasn't for you i might've slept until tomorrow"

he smiles at me then walks away. i race to my phone missed texts from kelce, topper, and sloan.

i text sloan back first, then topper, then kelce. i get no immediate responses so i go freshen up.

wheezie walks into my bathroom "so are you ever going to introduce sloan to dad and rose?"

"i will, soon. we've only had eight definite dates"

"i like you guys better than topper and sarah"

"why? and topper is my friend i am hoping he's treating sarah right but who knows"

"no offense to them but you guys look better together, sarah is too pretty for topper, and sloan is really cool"

"i agree, did you finish the movie?" i smile at her

she nods and shows me final destination 5 the last one. she also has one of my favorite movies in her hand eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.

looking towards my door she says, "sarah wants to talk to you about something, she's coming in"

i turn my attention to sarah she's got her hair down, she's in a blue dress, she has her hair and make up done. "does this look like something topper would like?" i'm assuming her dress.
