Design of the Heart

After we got it all unpacked I looked at the time and it was 2:00 in the afternoon.

"Oh my, we worked through lunch it's already 2:00.", I yelled from my bedroom

"Dang, no wonder I'm so hungry", she laughed and shouted back from the living room.

"Yeah...", I said walking into the living room. "Do you want something to eat?"

"Like what? I thought you didn't want to leave your place."

"I don't, but I can cook us something. My parents called ahead and made sure that one of our employees drove down and filled up the fridge.", I said walking into the kitchen to see what was there.

"Of course you did, I'm kind of surprised you can even cook considering I know you guys have your own chef because it's been published in magazines before."

"Just because we have a chef doesn't mean we can't cook. Just like because we have maids and butlers doesn't mean we can't clean. We just have help that others don't. Also just a little FYI I love to cook thank you very much", I stated.

"Oh yeah, what's your favorite thing to cook?", she asked leaning over the island.

"I love cooking Italian food, but I'm kind of in the mood for tacos right now because they are quick and easy and I'm tired from all of this unpacking we've been doing.", I said reaching into the fridge to get out some hamburger.

"I love tacos", Jossilyn said walking over to the fridge.

"Well, would you like to eat tacos with me then", I asked grabbing a pan and turning on the stove.

"Sure, I'll even cut up the lettuce and tomatoes for the top if you want me to", she said opening the fridge.

"Oh you don't have to if you don't want to. I mean you did come over and help me unpack my stuff so the least I can do is feed you."

"True, you do owe me for that, but I don't want to cash in that favor just yet. Plus I like to cook as well so it's not a big deal."

"I... owe you?", I questioned.

"Yes, you do", she said cutting the lettuce and tomatoes.

"And what is it that you want", I asked.

"I don't know I'll let you know when I think of it", she winked.

We ate lunch and then she helped me clean up, even though I told her I could do it myself.

"So, now what", I asked as we finished up the dishes.

"Well it is after 3:00 and I told my parents I wouldn'tbe gone all day so hypothetically I should probably go home.", she said.

"Oh, ok well thanks for coming and-", but she cut me off before I could finish.

"I said hypothetically.  I did not say that I was going to or that I wanted to.", she said.

"Umm ok so what are you going or wanting to do?", I asked.

"Well, you are renting the house with the best part of the beach behind it, so we could go down by the water if you want.", she offered.

"Ok, but did you bring a suit or do you want to borrow one of mine", I asked walking to my room.

"I wore mine under my clothes", she said as she started taking off her shirt and shorts.  

I stood there in awe.  She was so beautiful.  The way her long blonde hair fell over her tan shoulders.  Her bikini bottoms hugged her hips just perfectly.

"Are you going to change or just stand there and stare?", she asked catching me off guard.

"Oh, uhh... yeah... sorry", I said turning and going to my room.

We spent the next few hours down by the water.  As the sun was setting we were sitting in the sand on a blanket.  She looked so beautiful I wanted to kiss her right there, but I didn't know how she felt, and I didn't want to push her and make her hate me so I just set there.

"I had a good time today", she said bringing me back to reality.

"Yeah, me too", I said.

"I should really go home though", she laughed and stood up.

"Yeah", I said still mesmerized by how the setting sun was bouncing off her perfectly making it look like she was glowing.

"Ok, well I guess I'll see you around or something then.", she said turning to walk away.

All I could do was think about how much I wanted to kiss her, or at leaast hug her.  "Wait!", I yelled.

"Yes?", she said, and I thought I saw a glimmer of what looked like hope for more in her eyes.

But I panicked, "Uh... I just wanted to say thanks for helping me unpack."

"Oh", she said sadly.

"Yeah", I said awkwardly.

"You didn't need anything else?", she asked.

"No", I was too nervous to say or do what I actually wanted to so instead I just stood there while she walked away.

I went back up to the house and realized that not only did I forget to give her my number or snapchat, but also that she had left her clothes at my house.  I was kind of happy that she did because that meant that she had to come back another time.
