people’s faces. I did not want to spit food at Trevor but so far so good I had managed to keep all my food in my mouth.
We were finishing our meal when he asked, "Where to now? We could go sit at the park around the corner if you want. We can walk there, save gas." He winked and tried to be all suave but I saw right through that act.
"Sure, we can do that. We can drive though I doubt it wastes that much gas to go around the corner." I stifled a laugh to lighten my comment. Gary didn’t need to see my car around; I wasn’t ready for the consequences that were bound to come with it. This was only lunch but I wasn’t looking to open something I wasn’t ready for.
"What can I say; I just want to hold your hand Macy. You blame me for trying?" He attempted to sound serious then he starting laughing. "Come on let’s take a walk."
Reluctantly I got up and he grabbed my hand and we began our walk. I swore silently I would kill him if my car was spotted. There was not a single cloud in the sky. Just the sun shining in the perfect blue sky. The birds were flying and I even saw an airplane pass. The temperature was perfect for a little stroll. The humidity wasn’t that bad either so honestly I didn’t mind walking. That was always a plus down here. The humidity usually sucked and as a result there were many bad hair days, and well really hot air. On those hot days I’d rather stay inside than risk going outside and suffocating. We passed several families with children, I watched as they walked hand in hand laughing and carrying on. The children were excited to go feed the ducks and were pulling on their parents’ arms as they got closer and closer. They took turns tossing pieces of bread into the water and laughed as the ducks swam up to eat it. It was the cutest thing I’d ever seen and I couldn’t help but smile and at the same time be upset that I had all that stolen from me. Every happy memory I had from my childhood I had pushed far in the back of my mind. Some I’d even forgotten by this point in my life. Maybe one day if I stopped being so stubborn I could have all that again with someone of my own. Oh well, you live and you learn and I wasn’t going to let old memories take away the little bit of happiness that had entered my life in the form of Trevor.
We walked to an empty bench and sat down. He never let go of my hand. Inside I was dying to know why he chose me, but I was unsure of how to bring up that conversation. My self-esteem was alright but I always seemed to have that little bit of doubt that stuck around. That was a conversation we could have later if something grew between us. My mind suddenly raced to my Uncle Gary. He has been the rock I've leaned on these past 3 years and I had no idea how to break this to him if something did indeed happen? Would he feel betrayed? I hope not. I couldn't stand to upset him in any way. Would he shut me out of his life and leave me all alone? My brain reentered reality and Trevor was looking at me with a rather amused look about him. "You ok Macy? You seemed like you were out in space."
"I'm so sorry about that. I get that way when I'm thinking."
"Don't be sorry. What are you thinking about?" Now he wanted to be nosy? He could have pried at any other time and I most likely would have started spilling my guts. Not this time, not like this in a park with other ears around.
"Nothing really. Listen thanks for inviting me to lunch, I had a great time."
"You're welcome. I've been waiting for a chance to do something like this with you. I’m just glad we finally have the chance." He had sincerity in his eyes that I could not deny. I studied his facial expression then he began speaking again, "I know your uncle has a rule about you and me staying away from each other but I just couldn't stay away any longer."
What was this a blush-a-thon? He'd made me blush so many times today it was crazy. He also knew how to make a girls heart soar with the simplest words. "You,
