mother’s.” She answered my thought.
“Oh Gran, thank you so much.” I gave her a big hug, squeezing her tight.
“It has a clasp on it so you can hang it on a necklace if you want to.” She looked at Kellen when she said that. I nodded to them both. I took the other gift from Gran and opened it too. Inside was a pair of car keys. Yes!
“Gran, where?” I asked excitedly.
She looked at Gramps. He nodded. “Out front.”
I sprang for the front door and opened it. Parked in front of the house was a baby blue 1963 Volkswagen Beetle. The interior was cream colored, chrome details and accents glistened on the exterior, and a sun roof was open on top. Gramps had fully restored it for me. It had a huge red bow on the hood.
I jumped up and down in excitement. It was perfect. I loved old cars.
“Gran, Gramps, thank you so much!” I gave them both a big hug.
Emily and Mariah were at my side chattering excitedly. We all started jumping up and down together.
“I want to take it for a quick spin, ok?” I asked Gran. She waved me on.
“Get in,” I told Emily and Mariah. I looked at Kellen. “Coming?” I asked.
He grinned and hopped in the back behind the driver’s seat. Emily climbed in next to him and Mariah took shotgun, not giving anyone else a chance. I jumped in and started the engine. It roared to life. I put the gear in drive and we took off down the street screaming in excitement.
As I drove we found a station on the radio, rolled down the windows and sang loudly together. I glanced in the rearview and saw Kellen watching me with a contented expression on his face. We were having the time of our lives and I was extremely happy.
We returned to the party where I blushed while everyone sang happy birthday to me and we ate strawberry cake, my favorite. The loud radio had everyone dancing, even Gran and Gramps. They made me smile. I hoped one day I fell in love as deeply as they did.
Kellen spun me around the room, our laughter mixing with the music. His eyes were bright and happy as I looked at him. A shimmer to the green that made my breath catch in my throat. His left hand lingered at my waist while the right intertwined with my fingers and squeezed. Our eyes remained locked, oblivious to the song ending and another beginning.
Slowly, people started to leave. Kellen was the last one to go. Was that on purpose? I walked out onto the front porch stopping to slip the heels off my feet. I let them drop to the ground. It was late. We walked to the bottom of the front porch stairs, pausing to say good night. Kellen stood in front of me with his hands shoved in his front pockets.
“Thank you for coming tonight,” I told him as I reached up on my tiptoes and placed a quick kiss on his cheek. “And thank you for the necklace. I love it.”
“Sure, you’re welcome…um Rhiannon?” He paused briefly. “Would you like to go the basketball game with me on Friday night?”
My eyes widened. Did he just ask me on a date? “Um yeah, Kellen,” I answered. I’m scoring points with my articulation tonight , I thought sarcastically.
“How about I pick you up at six? We could get some pizza before the game,” he suggested.
“Sounds good. See you at school tomorrow,” I responded cheerfully.
I was standing only a few inches from him. He looked down at me and smiled, his eyes warm and affectionate. Kellen moved closer until we were only inches apart. He lifted his hand and let his fingers slowly caress the side of my face. I leaned my cheek slightly into his hand and watched as his eyes closed briefly. When he opened them again, they glowed with intensity.
“You’re very beautiful tonight Rhiannon.” He slowly dropped his hand to my shoulder. “Goodnight, happy birthday.”
“Goodnight Kellen,” I told him softly.
He placed a soft kiss on my forehead and took a step back. “Pleasant dreams.”
I watched him walk over to the Hummer and drive away. My heart was full, my thoughts simple, and my mind
