I entered the kitchen with a drag in my steps. Couldn’t Maverick understand where I was coming from? Couldn’t he understand that I was processing everything as best that I can, and I can’t skirt around certain topics because he simply doesn’t want to hear it.“He will be fine once he’s cooled off sweetheart” Levi grabbed my attention, he was sat in the same spot only instead of shovelling a sandwich into his mouth he was happily crunching away on an apple. “I promise I tried not to listen in, but it was kind of hard with the hearing that I have” he chuckled, his light amusement was his way of trying to lighten the dampness that Mav and I’s drama had caused.“Am I wrong?” I found myself asking as I dragged my feet across the kitchen in order to plug my phone and charger into a socket.“There is no right and wrong, this is new to both of you.” he answered, and I turned to face him.“Do you agree with Maverick? That what I said was bullshit?” I shot another question his way, I don’t know
I was tired! No scrap that I was absolutely drained from the longest travel I had ever had to endure in my entire seventeen years of living on this planet. At least the car ride was smooth, unlike the excruciatingly long plane journey I had suffered through less than two hours ago.My ass was numb, my knees cramped, and my back ached. I wanted nothing more than to be able to hop out of this car and take a walk or better yet take a walk directly up a set of stairs to a bedroom preferably one with a large soft and warm bed for me to lay in.I lazily dragged my eyes across the scenery as we drove, it was far from the city I had known my entire life. It was spacious, buildings small not like the towers that loomed over me in my home city in England. The sun was setting causing the most beautiful pink and red sky I had ever seen to glow around us.“Are you hungry? We can stop at the diner” Uncle Jesse asked.I shook my head motioning my an
With the first step over the threshold, you could feel the cool air of the house, it was an odd feeling a home colder than the air outside. But it felt nice considering I had been sweating and stuffy for hours on end.“Have a nose around, mi casa es su casa” he said his hands going to his hips.I didn’t reply just grazed my eyes around me, the décor was modern not what I was expecting from a cowboy town. Dark oak floors and crisp white walls, a large mirror hung upon the wall to the right of the hall way. It was definitely not what I had expected the home of a thirty odd year-old single man would look like. “How old are you?” I asked earning a raised brow and a soft chuckle.“Twenty-nine” he corrected my thoughts.“Huh, nice digs” I complemented as I peeked around the door that I now knew lead to a living room, or sitting room I believe the Ameri
“Kid” “Kid?”I groggily sat up to the sound of knuckles to wood as Uncle Jesse knocked against the door.“Huh?” I squinted at the light that seeped through the window.“I know it’s a Sunday an all but its after lunch and I thought you would like to take a walk around town, go pick up that carpet and anything else you may need?” he shot through the closed door, at least he was respectful of my privacy.“Err sure, I’ll be down once I’ve showered” I reached for my phone to see the time was almost two in the afternoon. Damn I really slept for that long?“I will be downstairs when you’re ready” he announced before silence replaced his loud awakening.I pulled myself off the bed, my body was aching a little, but nothing compared to how it was last night. I dragged my feet towards the door whe
Samsonville never had much of an option for me to buy many clothes, I mean sure they had clothes stores, but I just couldn’t find much that I would want to wear. It wasn’t a surprise Mum used to say that I had my own style “child I cannot keep up with you, one minute its a cute summer dress the next flared jeans and a floor length fur coat” she always encouraged me to dress how I wanted though, and I loved her for it. God how I missed her, Things like this make it near impossible for me to block out the fact that she was really gone. It has been two weeks since her funeral, three weeks since she had passed and it was easier for me to not think about her or else I would break, something I was yet to do. I know with time it would get easier, it did when dad died.“I was thinking we could head to dinner at the bar and grill? What do you say?” Uncle Jesse cut into my thoughts.“huh” I hummed his que
“Nina this is, Arnie, Marie and their son Lucas. Kids this is Nina”“Pshht kids, I wish I still had youth” Arnie commented, and I couldn’t help but laugh a little. They seemed to be easy going and a bright bunch.“It’s nice to finally meet you sweetie” Marie smiled over at me “here” she rose to her feet “take a seat, take a seat” she waved me into the seat beside her son before sliding herself into the seat beside Uncle Jesse across from me.“Wow you look just like your mother, doesn’t she boys” she smiled adoringly at me as if she was fascinated to see me.“She sure does” Uncle Jesse smiled widely.“You knew my mum?” I asked surprised at the information.“of course, I did honey, Elizabeth was a beauty let me tell you your father was hooked on her t
I was one hundred percent freaking out right now. I had showered, washed and dried my hair only to be sat by my suitcase for near enough thirty minutes having no clue on what I was supposed to wear for my first day of school. I wasn’t usually the kind of girl to spend a fathomable time on such a thing but as Lucas had called it my ‘first day jitters’ were wiping the floor with me. What did American’s wear to high school? I had asked Uncle Jesse but all I got was a shrug of his shoulders and a quick “beats me, kid”. I huffed with frustration because this was not me, yeah I am shy to a certain extent but since when did I care if people would deem my sense of style unfit for their standards? The answer was never, I never ever gave a crap before, so why was it bothering me so much now? I grabbed my black ripped skinny jeans and my short sleeve white v neck crop top. If I paired this outfit with my black strappy peep toe wedges and a smile upon my lips, I would look pretty cute. That’s the
A horn sounded from outside indicating that Lucas had arrived to take me to school and if I was to be honest with you I didn’t feel eager to leave. “That’s my ride” I announced swiftly making my leave for the front door before I could chicken out, run back upstairs and tuck myself back into my bed. “Your ride?” he asked in utter surprised confusion as he trailed behind me. “Yeah, Lucas offered me a ride, that’s ok with you? right?” I asked swinging the front door open as I headed out. “Err, I guess” he seemed unsure if he was supposed to agree to such a thing. “I’ll be fine uncle Jesse” I laughed, having a teenager in his life was a huge learning curve for him, I’m sure. “Alright, do you need me to pick you up after school?” he yelled after me as I made my way towards Lucas’s car. “Nah, ill figure it out. later uncle Jesse” I waved, swinging the door open and climbing into the passenger side of Lucas’s blue ford car. “Is this a ford mustang?” I asked shoving my backpack by my f
