as he touched her face, running his finger gently across her cheek, sending a longing for more through her body. “What do you like to do, for fun?” He ask again.
“Actually a lot of things, I guess, I just never do them” she studied the ground as she talked, she wanted this boy, but, the feeling of guilt, and fear of her family. Send alarms off in her head. But on the other hand, she had a longing, deep in her heart and soul for Billy. She was confused, but somehow followed the conversation.
“Why not” he questioned her.
“Your full of questions aren’t you” she looked at him. She liked the handsome features of his face.
“I just never see you out anywhere” he answered her and rubbed his chin. He’s quite the playboy she thought, at least that’s what she had heard.
“I get invited to a lot of parties and out to do things with my friends, but I don’t go, this town, it’s so full of rumors and gossip, I just don’t want to be a part of It.” she finally answered him.
“I can definitely understand that” he smiled a sheepish grin at her “We will just have to see what we can change about that, give you a little adventure Emily Canton.” the grin always on his face. She had some decisions to make about him, but in her heart she knew she would see him again.
Emily’s phone vibrated in her pocket, she looked down at the message from Joe.
“I have to go now Billy, I promised Joe I would go fishing with him, today” she stood up to leave although now, she really didn’t want to go, and thought about texting Joe back and cancelling.
“How about we go, tomorrow. Fishing, I mean, you and me.” he held his arms out, like why not.
“Not tomorrow, we have church,” She had to think about this, give herself a day or so, she knew she wanted to see him again, but should she pursue this relationship. Relationship is this a relationship she ask herself.
“Monday” he looked disappointed.
“Monday, we got a date” she said and punched him in the shoulder.
“A date hum, I finally got a date with you, can I kiss you” Her heart fluttered.
“You mean now,” he leaned in and gave her a kiss on the cheek. “Monday” Billy winked at her.
She walked back through the woods, her emotions in turmoil, the kiss on the cheek was sweet, but she knew from her dreams, the kiss she might someday let him give her on the lips, would send passion through her soul. She went to the shed and grabbed her fishing pole and ran to toward the pond, where Joe was already waiting on her.
“Were have you been all morning?” Joe ask as she sit down beside him, ran up out of breath and set down beside him.
“Reading by the creek” She answered him as she baited her hook then cast her line the water. Splat the water shouted.
“Figured you would be here waiting on me” He told her.
“Thought about it, but you know how much I love the woods.” Her thoughts were still on Billy and the morning she had spent with him, what am, I doing, with him, Billy, what, what her soul screamed.
“You just missed that fish Emily, didn’t you see the bobber go under?” Joe laughed hysterically as he reeled in a nice size bream. “You got any plans for this summer,” he ask, as he through the fish back in.
“No, not really” Emily was getting tired of that question, and wished she could talk to Joe about Billy, but knew that wouldn’t go over well. She thought for a minute and decided to check out, his feelings on the subject. “Have you ever talked with any of the Johnson boys, without fighting with them I mean?”
He stared at her for a minute “What, are you crazy, what kind of question is that?”
She laughed, “Just a question Joe, don’t get your boxers in a wad”
“How do you know I’m wearing boxers?” He looked at her with widened eyes.
“You’re so crazy Joe, you know your my favorite brother don’t you” hitting him in the shoulder. He laughed with her, shaking his head, “Only because, I
