summer nights
chapter eighteen
Chace stands up, and puts his hand out. I put my hand in his,
and he helps me up. We walk back to the house. "You
stayin' for dinner?" I ask him.
"Your dad invited me to." He opens the door for me.
My dad is finishing up supper. I put some plates on the
table, and pour some lemonade into my cup.
Chace puts his cup infront of me. "Please?" I look
to him, he gives me a puppy dog face, and so I pour him
some.
"So, Meg," My dad starts eating. "I'd like
you to see the barn Chase and I are workin' on." He
looks to Chace. Chace smiles, and nods. I shrug my shoulders,
and finish eating rather quickly. I sit out on the porch. I
sit on the swing by the open kitchen window.I hear them
cleaning up, but only my dad comes outside. "Meg,"
He sits down. "What's wrong?"
"Blake thinks I like his brother."
"Well...Do ya?" I look at him, surpised he just
asked.
"I don't know, maybe..." I sigh. "I just
feel bad for Blake."
"You can't control who you like, hun. I have to go
shower though, I'm sorry, jus' let things fall into
place." I half smile, and watch him go inside. I look
over to the barn, my vision gets blurry from my eyes starting
to flood with tears.
"You wanna go see the barn?" Chace comes outside, I
nod, and wipe my tears. He helps me down. We walk down,
through the grass. I walk into the old barn, my stomach
instantly fills with butterflies, and I smile, my eyes still
filled with tears.
"This is beautiful." I look around, there's two
square hay-bails covered by a blanket. The barn is lit up by
candles in old mason jars.
"It's for you..." Chace says. "Not from
me...Blake did it earlier."
"Oh." I sit on one of the hay-bails.
"But, I don't think he's gonna show up."
Chace looks at me, I shrug my shoulders.
"Everything felt so right with him, but then it felt so,
wrong."
"Maybe," Chace sits next to me. "You
weren't meant to be?"
"Maybe you're right." I sigh. "Maybe he
was right?"
"About what?"
"Me liking you..." I stand up. I turn on the old
radio that my dad uses when he works out here. 'She
kissed me, like she meant forever,' a Luke Bryan
song plays. I hold my hand out. "Dance with me?" I
smile. He nods, and puts my hand into his. 'We were
too d*mn young to know any better.' I push myself
closer to Chace, the song ends, and Chace leans in to kiss
me.
