What stunned me so much was how much of her I took in in just a few seconds, after parking my car my brother hit me hard over the arm; "Your it shitface!" he laughed childishly it took me back to all those times we used to wrestle, and box just for fun, though we'd always win it was really fun, I was rubbing my arm as he jumped out of the car pouting; "Why are you so boring these days?" he asked as he shut the door closed he kept on talking but I tuned him out as my my hands landed on the steering wheel again I hadn't let my eyes close on anything, in terror of loosing the sight of her eyes in my mind, my kind are way to easily distracted when it comes to everything, mostly cause nothing is surprising to us any more, I remember well when the mobile phone came, a huge thing in a suitcase looking back, which you opened then twirl on some stuff and then you where ringing, that was cool, now this new iphone, thing ain't so cool any more, What was i thinking about?
See easily distracted, I turn my head to the side just a little, when i see a ford mustang in perfect condition I haven't seen one in years, I get out of my car, still ignoring my brother whom is still talking about something incoherent. I know he is following me was I stop in front of the black ford mustang, its leather interior is perfect, the whole car is flawless, something made me open the glove department, and a neat stack of cd's was hidden inside, with my excitement to see that the mix of cd's where a few of my own, The Smiths, Morrissey, Ella Fitzpatrick, Mumford and sons; "This car, This car is my heaven!" I say to my brother whom chuckles; "I bet you can buy it off the owner or something!" he says i can hear the smirk on his lips; "In all my days I haven't been surprised two times in one day for at least fifth teen years if not more, was it 86 last time?" I ask my brother; "Yeah I think so!" he answer quickly as he pats my back hard; "Lets get going!" he adds when i stroke my hand along the black polish on, I end up straightening as we walk off the parking lot and in to the small street that's call the main town; "ridiculous!" I mumble as we walk up the street slowly, the few stores we pass are an old antique store, a small book store, a very small whole food store, on the other side are more restaurants, like a pizza place, a hamburger shack and that cafĂ© the beautiful girl ran in to, Shawn hit me over the arm once again; "Dude, fucking stop with that shit, when you hit me it actually hurt!" I growl at him as he smirks; "Amelia wanted a new book, how about we buy her a new one?" he asks as he points at the book store that's called Monica´s. "A Book store called Monica´s cant really be taken serious?" I say looking at my brother that shrugs; "No it really cant!" I voice from behind us says, as we both turn around where the girl from before where standing but, as I look her over she has to have changed alot, cause her hair was dark brown, long almost down to her waist, the top of her hair was hidden under a straw hat, and her legs are bare, her cut off jeans short are pretty much hot pants, but in a good looking kind of way and an old out washed Bruce Springsteen t-shirt with small holes everywhere with a pair of navy converse, why does they all seem so fashionable in this town?
though this girl, had very strong freckles on her nose, though she was standing closer to us than the other girl had done, is it the same one? I'm so confused, Surprise vs. me 3 -0 today; "I am Mandy!" she says extending her hand, my brothers hand shoot out like a lightning and takes it smiling as he shakes her hand, after they are done shaking he hold on to Mandy's hand a bit longer then normal, so i nudge him hard and he lets go; "Sorry about that, my idiot brother seem to have lost all marbles today and don't know how to act among people, I am Joshua, and this is my brother Shawn!" Mandy giggles as we shake hands and smiles; "Nice to meet ya'll!" she says with an typical south dialect and then she starts to laugh; "I am so sorry, Summer camp in Texas!" she explain and we all laugh; "so fresh meat!" she says; "Want a tour of the town or something?" She asks and smiles widely; "Naww its fine, though very nice to meet ya!" I say and wink at her; "But I was wondering one thing as I have you right here, or maybe two, first one do you have a sister maybe? and why cant you take this store serious?" I ask quickly, she laugh; "well first of all, Monica's has gone under alot of names all the kids call it the whore-book-store, both Monica and her daughter go through the men in this town and the towns around like they are a daily news paper, so watch out for Rosalynn, she's eviiiiil!" she said laughing a bit low; "But that is all of a rumour, but cause of it, the business is slow and the store barley go round!" she says and it kind of sounds like it bothers her; "And I take it as you have met Morgan!" she says after a while, and then she smiles; "She's my twin sister!" she says; "You seem very kind!" we both look at shawn cause until now he hasn't said a word, and now he was blushing-ish. Her smile widens; "I guess I am, I mean i love this book store, and I hate what the rumour is doing to this store, I mean Monica is really nice, thought i cant stand Rosalynn, Monica has been a great person, and have helped my father and me she is also very kind!" she smiled at us; "Oh crap!" she says as she pulls her iphone out of her pocket and smiles appetizingly to us; "I really have to take this, but tonight there is a beach party, by the old lake, drive past the school and straight about 20 minutes and you'll come to a hidden path, and drive in there and you'll find it easily!" she says as starts to walk pass us; "bye nice to meet you, hope to see you all tonight.." and she puts the phone to hear ear and and starts to speak and walks away; "What's wrong with you?" I ask Shawn that watches her go; "What? he asks dumbfounded.
"What the hell happened to you? you never shut up normally around girls, now you said like four words "you seem very kind!" I mimic him and he hits me on the arm; "I don't know what happened okay!" he says sourly and walks in to the store and I quickly follow.
I stood I front of my car with my mug in my hand; "Some one has touched my car!" I yell in to the phone which is pressed against my ear as I speak to my sister; "Who would touch it?" she asks me; "Do you think I know?" I reply quickly, I am utterly pissed, but she was right who would, I get in to my car after wiping the hand print of the black polish, I pull out my MGMT cd and put it in to the cd player as I drive out of the parking lot, all I could focus on was the stuff I had to buy for the dinner tonight, and the annoying boy that nearly had run me over; "moron!" I mutter as i drive through the town only to see him come out from Monica's; "Of course!" I add quickly and drive to the supermarket on the other side of the town.'
