Past Skin Deep
-Chapter 5
I honestly
had no clue what I was to do. I just stared at his smile and
finally I brought up the strength to smile back.
He turned around to leave but I stopped him. I couldn't let
him go now.
"Hey!" I said tapping his shoulder.
He turned around and looked at me, waiting for me to say
something. He had an amused smile at me as I fumbled over my
thoughts.
What is wrong with me? Say something you idiot!
I took a deep breath and put on my best Ashlee Fritsch smile.
"My name is Ashlee." I said sticking out my hand.
He shoke it and said, "my name is Damon."
"Nice to meet you, are you new here?"
He looked around him then back at me, "how about we go some
where we can hear eachother."
I smiled and nodded and followed him to a place down near the
water where there were less people.
The sound of the waves crashing onto the shore was so peaceful
and relaxing.
I decided to be confident, I can't act like this over guys.
Guys act this way over me not the other way around.
"So, where are you from? I don't think I've ever
seen you." I asked casually taking a sip from my drink.
"No I just moved here from up north to live with my
uncle."
"Oh cool!" I smile at the fact that he said he moved
here, meaning he was staying. "So how old are you,
Damon?" I liked the way his name rolled off my tongue. It
was a mysterious name for a myterious guy.
"Nineteen, and yourself?"
I couldn't help but feel upset, that probably meant he was
out of high school.
"I just turned eighteen in July. Senior year of high
school." I said a little embarrassed.
He laughed. We carried on small talk about where he came from and
slowly got to the topic of my life.
Apparently though, he lived Colerado most of his life where his
parents were high class buisness people and made stacks of cash.
One thing we had in common was that neither of us seen much of
our parents because of their work.
I also learned he had an older brother who was older by 2 years
but no other siblings.
However, Damon had decided that he wanted to change a little of
his life and moved in with his uncle.
I couldn't help but feel something while I was around him,
what was this feeling?
I have been in love before but never had a feeling like this.
What am I saying, I just met the guy I wasn't in love with
him that was ridiculous.
We were really having a great time sharing some laughs and
getting to know eachother, I had completely forgot about
everything and everyone else I came with.
That is until I heard my name being called.
I spun around, I swear I just heard it.
I scanned the crowds of people to see who it was that was calling
my name.
When suddently I froze.
"What is it Ashlee?" I heard Damon ask behind me.
It was Mason, I recognized his voice now. What was I going to
do?
I looked at the crowds again and saw him walking through the mess
of people looking for me.
He was closer then I thought and if he turned his head this way
he would see me.
A sharp pang of guilt errupted in the core of my stomach and I
turned around to face Damon.
I heard my name being called again from behind, closer than
before.
"Ashlee?" His face was filled with concern, as if he
thought I was going to throw up at any moment.
I looked at him not knowing what to say, or do for that
matter.
There was my name again, closer.
I don't know what came over me, maybe it was remembering what
I was supposed to do and the time and place, but the next thing I
knew I had thrown myself at Damon.
And I kissed him.
