Dear Future Husband

part 1

    Keightlynn was never the girl whom anyone would look at and think "She is beautiful", in fact she received the opposite quite often. She was always told she would never be pretty enough for a boyfriend. her looks were curious. her oval face and strong jaw bone made her seem more masculine than feminine, and she couldn't help what she looks like. Her short hair fell in ringlets and framed her cheeks. Her eyes sparkled like the predawn blue of the sky reflecting off the ocean, which gave off a faint grey hue. Her lips hung in her signature pout, and made her face seem to soften rather than tighten and show her flawed features. She often disliked her body, which was considered a pear shape. Her chest was two sizes smaller than her hips, and she had a noticeable rear. What she disliked most was her stomach. No matter how much she tried she still wears a size 16 pants in womens. She was eighteen years old. 

    James was nineteen, and he noticed Keightlynn about three weeks after she had moved to the countryside from the city of Atlanta, GA. Immediately, his thoughts fogged and the only word that seemed clear was "beautiful". Her profile was goddess-like and it made him render speechless. Her body was thin, and it accentuated her hips, and her shoulders and legs. She was wearing beige shorts that went halfway down her thighs, and a sky blue blouse that cinched around her waist. It had pretty dark blue ribbons on the sleeves, which were off the shoulder, and revealed her pale, freckled skin.She had reddish blonde hair which framed her beautiful and puzzling face in ringlets. He couldnt stop staring at her no matter how hard he tried.

    "Hey dipshit, can we go and you stop staring at my friend? its weird." Colson, James' brother said when he got in the car from school.

    "I wasn't staring!" he said, instantly turning bright red in embarrassment because he known he had been.

    "Sure you weren't. That's why she is looking back at you, curious as to why my brother is checking her out."

    James whipped his head around to look at her again before he moved the car "Is she really?" He was disappointed and humiliated now. How could he trust his younger brother when he knows better himself.

    "My point exactly."

    James didn't wait to see who was picking Keightlynn up from the school. He had learned that she was a senior in highschool, and getting ready to graduate. The doubted thought came to his mind that he shouldn't ask her out, not only because he was nervous, but because he wouldn't be here long to enjoy her. 

    "Shes single." James turned to find Colson standing in his doorway, looking curious. "Just thought you should know, that she is single. But, she probably doesn't plan on dating someone who is going to be away for 8 months." Colson pointed out

   "What makes you think i wanted to ask her out. i don't even know anything about her, much less know who she is, and even if i did, what makes you think i would?" James retorted, obvious to the fact he'd been    caught stargazing about Keightlynn.

    "Oh, nothing. except the fact you were bugging about her earlier in the car pool."

    "I wasn't-"

   "Save it," Colson stopped him. "You know as well as i do you like her. I thought i would help you out."

    James contemplated his brothers offer, and thought of how strange it was that his own brother would  have the decency to even think of such a proposal. Without another moment of hesitation, he accepted.     "Deal."

    Keightlynn sat in her bathtub, processing the guy who stared at her in school today. He was gorgeous. But, she knew that any fantasies she might dream up about other boys would result in total humiliation. She assured herself that he only stared at her so he can tease her the next day. Then she remembered he was poised at the drivers door when she and her friend, Colson, were waiting for car pool. She hadn't gotten her license yet, so it was only a matter of time before she do so.Emerging from her refreshing bath, she dried off and wrapped her cotton towel tightly around her bust. then covered herself with a silk grey robe, and retreated to her room for the night. On her nightstand, her phone rang, and assuming it was her mother calling to gloat about an amazing trip that she and Keightlynn's father had to the bahama's or Dublin Ireland, she found it was Colson.

    "Hello?" she answered.

    "Keight? Hi. I wanted to apologize for my idiotic brother, he was staring at you earlier today during carpool, and i should have smacked him, i didn't. so im sorry." He spouted.

    "Oh, that was your brother? I didn't notice, and if i had noticed i probably wouldn't have minded." What was she talking about? She needed details on him. "So, um. Why was he staring?"

    "Uh, he kinda likes you. I don't know how you feel,, but he wants to see you, quite frankly, so do I"

    Keightlynn was of course, shocked at this new information, and she wasn't quite sure how to process this newly acquired information.

    "How about you both come over to my place saturday?" she said

    "Count on it girl. see you tomorrow."

With that, Keightlynn hung up the phone, changed into her gown, and fell asleep in her soft and warm covers of her bed.
