Chapter 1:
Sometimes love finds you when you least expect it
(and thus are not properly dressed)
Claire's POV:
I took out my head phones and tossed them on the mountain of romance novels smothering my gueen bed. I loved reading romance novels. I wasn't sure if I beleived in love though. I hadn't had the greatest relationship experience. I always ended up getting hurt. Maybe love was really out there, I just hadn't found it.....
I ran my delicate fingers through my light blonde hair as I walked into my bathroom. The heated tile floor warmed my body almost immediately. I fixed my eyes on the mirror. My bright blue eyes glistened, making them seem like glass. I think the way my skin was so tan really brought them out. People were always asking how I managed the beach-babe look in the middle of Texas. I then had to expliain that I used to live in Cali and my mom made me move here against my will. I guess I couldn't complain, living in a six bedroom brick house with an inground pool and hot tub. You know, one of those fansy estates in a gated neighborhood. It was just me and my mom. Well, kinda, my mom always had guys over. Me, not so much. Mom wasn't the greatest person but, I loved her anyway. When she sat on the couch watching romance movies and eating fudge like there was no tomorrow, and crying her eyes out after a breakup, I was there. I luckily, was never in that posistion. You could say I was afraid of falling in love. Not the falling part of course, just that there would be no one to catch me.
I wasn't like my friends. With their weekly boyfriends,manicures, shopping sprees and celebrity gossip. It just wasn't me. I wasn't a nerd though. Not in the least bit. In the eyes of my friends and most guys I was well, hot. I was really skinney, but not to skinney and I guess my C cups aren't all that bad. I spent my days reading, writing, blogging, singing, and listening to my iPod. I was mature for my age. I was eighteen. I was like my mom's mom. She lived the life I should be living. She was a party animal. I was very down to earth. Yea, not your typical teenage girl.
I walked back into my room, Rihanna's Disturbia blasting on my flatscreen TV. Glancing at my cell, I realized I had a missed call. KellyRose, A.K.A. my sould sister A.K.A. my neighbor. I speed dialed three and it started ringing. "Hey Claire!" Her voice echoed. "Hey Kellers, you called earlier?" I asked twirling a strand of hair on my pinky. "Ya! Someone bought the place next to you! Your mom is talking to em' now." I pulled back my silk curtain and sure enough my mom was chatting with a curly haired woman and a short a chubby man with glasses. They looked like someone I has seen in a magazine recentley. "Later Kell." I shut the phone before she could speak.
I finger combed my hair and walked outside to our front yard. "Oh here she is, my lovely daughter Claire!" My mom said Claire like Kuh-laire. I shook the womans hand, her name was Denise and her husbands name was Kevin. That sound unquestionably familiar. Denise asked how I old I was and explained her son was my age too. "Ahah, isn't everyone coming in right on que today?" She sand as a tan, muscular boy about 5'8 walked over. His dark curls peeped out from under his hat and tumbled over his glasses. He was quite attractive. "I'm Joe." He removed his glasses and extended his hand. "Claire." I shook his hand. My eyes met his and I noticed they were a tint lighter then his hair making them quite astonishing. I looked down from his glare. How timid of you, Claire, don't be shy, I mentally scolded myself. I then realized I was in my pjs. Smooth Claire, smooth.
Joe's POV:
Maybe moving wasn't so terrible. Claire was gorgeus. She has natural beauty, something you rarely find. I noticed she was wearing ugg boots, baby blue shorts, and a light pink tank, slightly pushing up her cleavage, which I took a few seconds to glance at. I wondered if she knew she was in her pjs. I smiled. "Claire don't be rude! Show Joe around our house." A lady who looked like an older version of Claire spoke. I assumed it was her mom. Claire smiled and motioned for me to follor her inside. I proceeded.
