Meeting You

Chapter 12

" What do you want to know?" I asked shyly drying a cup with the dish rag and placing it back in the cabinet. Whenever I feel awkward or shy I tend to look down at the ground or away from the person who is talking to me. You can say that I have a little issue of keeping eye contact, it not that I'm afraid or anything... Well maybe a little. I'm honestly trying to get better like Hannah said " breaking out of my shell" it's not that I'm not listening to you or anything, but if I don't know you that well or if I like you, because I have no clue what your thinking of when I talk to you.
" I want to know Avery." Dylan chuckled poking my dimpled on my right cheek.

" You trust him Avery, it's ok he'll understand just like your friends."

After I cleaned the final plate I went into the living room, and sat down on the couch. Dylan sat right next to me waiting for an answer. He almost looked like a child from his silly actions.

" Here goes nothing." You sighed and took a piece of curly hair behind my ear.

" I've grew up here my whole life... It was an actual peaceful quiet town until the more I got older people became a little bit annoying and more rude. I'm 17 and will be 18 in the spring time, I'm obviously a shy girl but tensed to show her true colors when she's comfortable with people, I maybe quiet but I can be crazy and outgoing if I really wanted to. Another fact about me is that.... Well I'm adopted."

I could feel tears forming in my eyes but I wanted to hold them back, I couldn't let Dylan see me cry just yet. I wanted to prove to myself that I could be strong no matter how much talking about this hurt.

"It's ok, keep going." Dylan had a look of complete shock but at the same time he was calm.

" Nicole isn't my mother... She is my aunt. When I was little my real mother Renee, was a troubled woman. All I can say is that she may not have been the perfect parent but she was my best friend. My dad died from lung cancer when I was 5 so I don't really remember him. But my mom was the only person me and my big brother had. By the time I was eight I found out that she was really sick, I didn't understand what cancer was at the time so I decided to visit her everyday."

I'm holding my necklace again trying hard to hold them in. It's not going to well Dylan looks concerned.

" But that all changed when one day I came home from school.... Greg and a strange woman though she seemed nice looked at me, Greg's eyes were blood shot and held me close. Tears were forming into my eyes as well and I was heart broken. I've lost someone I loved from something terrible, and I couldn't bare with it. We've went through so many foster home after foster home until finally Nicole found us and then adopted us. I was happy when I first saw her because she looked exactly like my mom.. After they were sisters. After a while Greg wanted to go to the military and so he did, he still rights to me but I miss him so much. It's alright now b-because I have the best people in the world to watch out over me."

I've finally cracked tears were flowing down my hot face. I don't like sounding selfish but I had a horrible childhood. I was the kind of kid that was afraid of their own shadow until I found a group of special people that brought some light into me, and I thank them so much for that.

Warm built arms wrapped around me and I was brought closer. Dylan place his head above mine, from the way he was shaking I believed he was crying too. I wasn't happy that I made him upset, but I was glad that he understands me. That I could open up to him even though I was afraid. My heart was beating really fast, he actually cares about me. I wanted to stay like this but Dylan pulled away and lifted up my chin.

" You know your never alone right? Because you have me, and you have everyone else with you. Your an amazing girl Ave, and I don't want you to ever think nothing less. You are also strong and I like that about you,it actually touched my heart because I know you are more than just a shy and socially awkward girl like myself. Not that I'm a girl"

I could tell he was getting a little bit nervous but I ended up giggling a little.

" You have a very beautiful smile Avery, and I don't want to ever see you like that ok." Still holding my chin he wiped away a tear and began rubbing my cheek with his thumb. I think I'm.... Falling for him.

" Ok. -Thank you so much" I said closing my eyes while managing a small grin. I was just about to lift myself up from the comfy yet sinking couch when my face was pulled and crashed into soft yet slightly chapped lips.

The first thing I could think of was OH MY GOD! HOLY SHIT!! Then I was also thinking to myself " Avery what are you doing kiss him back, this is your chance do it, idiot he likes you."
I began kissing him back I even moved closer, could this be it for me? I have I found someone special to me?

I couldn't really breath so I finally pulled away, and stood up. My lips were tingling of pure bliss and I couldn't stop turning red, I looked at Dylan and he has this achieved look on his face. Was he planning this.

" I should get going, I'll see you sometime ok." He says winking at me.

" O-Ok yea, bye I said." Shutting the door behind me.

I couldn't comprehend what just happened but.... I kind of like it. I opened up my silver locket and looked at the picture of my beautiful mom.

" I guess you were right mom, waiting does have it perks." I say and closed it.

I wanted to scream and shout, and just go off the walls but I decided to let it all sink in with a goodnights rest. Though I'm probably not gonna sleep since I keep touching my lips!

Oh my god Hannah and the others are going to flip.

After I took my nice relaxing shower and changed into a tank top and gym shorts, I went under the covers and began slipping away. Sadly I kept tossing and turning since all of these emotions were running around through my head. They were going from Sad to bashful, to happy, to excited. All of these were flowing throughout my entire body and I couldn't even get sleep.

I'm in for it now.
