Chapter 2 1/2

My momma finally let me go out after i finished my homework. I just decided to go to the park, i didn't feel like getting ran over again by someone. I sit on the swing, swinging gently back and forth. Letting the breeze go through my sandals.

This park isn't crowded, it has a field and a skate park that i sometimes go to.  "hey pretty girl" somebody tugs on my curls. It's that boy from yesterday. "hey" i say watching him sit in the swing next to me. "what was all that about yesterday"? referring to the girls chasing him. "oh, it's just something i have to go through on a daily" he rolled his eyes, "for real"? i ask him concerned. "yeah, it's real tiring".

I gently swing back and forth on the swing, "you live in the neighborhood"? i ask him. "no, me and my brothers are here on tour" he smiled at me. "oh, and sorry for pushing you yesterday, did i bruise you bad"? he rubbed my thigh, just right below my shorts. "yeah, you did but i'm ok" i blush. "hey, you wanna go somewhere"? he stood up in front of me.

"sure, where"? He grabbed my hand pulling me up to my feet, "just follow me" he pulled me by my hand down the hill. "where are you taking me"? i complained after awhile. He takes me all the way down the hill, into a place with willow trees and a little pond with ducks in it. "how'd you know this was back here"? i cross my arms.

Me and my parents come here and have picnics. We even built a little swing. "i came back here a couple days ago, when i was running from joseph". "who's joesph"? i sit on the little swing, hanging from the big willow tree. "he's my father" he sits next to me on the ground. "he's my father, he isn't very nice" he frowns. "well if your ever feeling sad, you can always come here" i try cheering him up.

"thanks" he smiles at me. I love coming back here. It's so calming, and quiet. I like watching the ducks too. "hey let me try something" he pulls me from the swing again. He walked me to the pond sitting me down on the bench right in front of the pond. My feet are gently swinging above the clear pond water. He took sandals of and placed them next to me. "what are you doing"? i giggled as he gently rubbed my foot. He cupped a handful of water and poured it down on my feet. Rubbing them at a nice pace that feels all to good.

"that tickles"! i say as he washed the bottom of my feet. He kissed the padding of my foot, starting from my heels to my toes, and all the way up to the top part of my foot. Then down my leg, all the way up to my thigh. "ok, stop" i say as he gets a little to close to my....yeah. "you got some sweet feet" he kissed my foot again, then put my shoes back on.

He put a little pink and white flower in my hair, tucking it into my headband that holds back my curls. I checked my watch which said 7:39 pm. I've been outside for awhile now. "i should be getting back now, it's late and i have to go in for dinner" i blush at him staring at me. Though i didn't want it to end, i really like spending time with him.

"ok" he smiled at me. For the rest of the day we walked home holding hands and talking about anything just to savor the moment. "wait" marlon pulled my hand back. "can i take you on a date tomorrow"? Me? On a date? "um, yeah, what time"?

"how about, after practice? at 9:30"? he cringed. "ok, 9:30 tomorrow" i smiled at him giving him a tight hug, he smelt so good. He watched me as i crossed the street. I gave him one more wave, before he walked off down the street.
