Do You Believe in Love at First Sight?

Did I Really Just Ask That?

After a couple of hours later Branden and Quinn left, Jepha went back inside, which left me sitting outside alone. Drawing. I love to draw and sitting outside gives me inspiration.

"What cha doing?"
"Oh My Gosh!"
"Sorry." Jepha sat down next to me on the grass.
"It's ok. And I'm drawing."
"Ooh! Let me see!" Jepha quickly ripped my sketch book out of my hand.

"No. Jepha. Give me that!"
"These. Are."
"Are what?" I asked, scared of his reply.
"Really. Really good."
"Thank you." I could feel my cheeks slowly getting red. Jepha finished looking through the book, and gently placed back into my hands. Our hands touched for a second. But I quickly pulled my hand out of his.

"Um. Yeah. I think I'll go inside. And see if it's safe." Jepha whispered the last part, making me smile. As he started to walk away I remembered the Bar- BQ. "Oh Jepha?"

He quickly turned around. "Yes?"
"Um. Are you doing anything next weekend?"
"I don't think so. Why?"
"Well. My family has this cook out. A bunch of friends come over and hang out. Anyways, I was wondering if you wanted to come?" I sort of asked.

"I'd love to come." Jeph smiled.
"Great. Um. I'll let my parents know."
"Ok. Uh. I should go anyway. Bye Jess."
"Bye Jepha." Jeph walked inside as I ran around the house watching him drive down the road.
