Cookie Cutter Love
           Chapter 2

Once Evie reached the end of the pier, she took a seat & began swinging her legs over the edge, looking out over the bay. She turned her head & looked up at Byran, patting the space next to her.
Byran sat quietly next to the mesmerizing girl.
" So Byran, tell me about yourself." she kept her eyes out in the water, trying to stay calm & collected.
" Ugh..Well.. what stuff about me?" he asks, not sure where to start.
" Well, how about your intrests & stuff. I don't know." she shrugs, still looking out.
" I like cookies." he chuckles. " & the color blue." Evie raised an eyebrow.
" Interesting." she giggles.
" My lucky number is 22, & uh, Football is my favorite sport."
Evie smiles to herself.
" Now I have to hear four things about you." he smiles at Evie, noticing she wasn't looking at him. Was she okay?
" I like cookies as well," she laughs, slightly turning her head enough to catch his eyes studying her evry ove. She blushed & quickly turned her head." But. my favorite color is green, & my lucky number is 15." she sticks her tongue out at him , childishly. " & Lacrosse is my favorite sport."
Evie faced him again. Looking down at his uniform. Byran caught sight of two scars on her face. What were they from? He wasn't going to ask, that would be rude & make her feel insecure. He couldn't do that to someone who was being so kind.
" When do you leave?" she asks him.
" I actually just got home." Byran answers, turning his beautfiul eyes to the water.
" Shouldn't you be with your family?" She asks, taking her chance to look him all over, as he wasn't looking.
" I doubt they want to see me." he says in a whsiper, so low Evie almost couldn't hear.
" Well, soldier, I thank you for serving our country." she brightly smiles at him. That got him to look back at her. He gave her a smile he hadn't felt in a while. When he talked to Evie, he felt.. better. Not so alone.

They sat in silence for a few moments , until Evie grew annoyed. She hated quiet.
" Do you have a place to stay?" she turns her whole body towards him , folding her legs into a pretzel shape.
Byran slowly shook his head, confirming a ' No'.
" Then you can stay with me. I'm sure my brother wouldn't mind helpng a service man." she stands, whiping anything any dirt off of her butt.
Byran also stood & followed Evie back to the restaraunt to get her car.
" You really don't have to be so nice." Byran tells her, as they climbed in the car.
" Yes I do." she says simply. buckling her seatbelt.
& then they were off...
