Blinded Love

Birthday Boy

Will is twenty-two years old, his life revolves around work, hunting, and ridding country back roads. His brother was turning twenty years old and beged Will to come to his birthday party. Normally Will would have told him no, but he needed to fix up his feeders and deer stands, having to go to town he decided to why not.

Will " hey Byron, why don't you just ride with me to help get my stuff."

Byron "okay but I need to meet up with a couple of friends while we are there.

Will " Never mind, I'll just stay home."

Byron " NO, it won't take long, they both have to go to work soon so...

Will cut him off, " okay fine, but let's head out. It takes forty-five minutes to get there, where are we meeting them?"

smiling to himself, Byron replied "Walmart parking lot. "

Not much was said between the two brothers as they drove to town.

When they arrive , two young women were waiting excitedly to wish Wills brother a HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Will rolled his eyes knowing that Byron was being his w*****g self.

He pulled up to a parking spot not far from the two womens car. Will noticed they looked alike. Thinking to himself, they must be sisters. Listening to his brother jump out and watching the sisters reaction to him, he saw they ran up to him to give him a huge hug to where his brother picked them both up and spun them around. Will mentally rolled his eyes.

Will didn't pay much more attention to them knowing his brother was probably with them both.

He honked his horn and made the girls jump, made him chuckle under his breath. He rolled down the passenger window speaking to Byron, "hurry up i want to get back to the woods before your party starts.

Byron was about to speak when the two women climbed into the truck, shocking and annoying Will, the older but smaller sister introduced themselves.

Byron shakes his head and jumps into the passenger seat smiling.

There was no music on the radio and nobody was talking. The younger sister, Taylor, sat up in the back seat and reached in-between the two brothers and turned on the radio. Byron turned it up and started singing alone off key.

Taylor started laughing and singing as well.

This made Will look in the review mirror and do a double take. Hearing her little giggle made him want to know her. she didn't seem shy at all, but hadn't really spoke. She had long silky brown hair and beautiful doe brown eyes. He kept stilling looks at her as he drove down the road to home depo.

Ashley her older sister was talking almost the whole time. what about, Will couldn't tell you. He couldn't even tell you what song was playing on the radio. Being distracted by the beauty in the back seat that would occasionally lean forward to look for a new station.

Byron was obvious about what he was thinking, due to him always being the quiet and social awkward. His brother was just dancing around in his seat enjoying life as always.

Will was studying the behavior of their group. He noticed his brother wasn't holding hands with either sister and yet seemed to be on his best behavior. He was having a hard time figuring out if his brother was with one or both of the sisters or just friends. Will prayed they were just friends.

Byron when he was usually "dating" a woman, they would be all over each other. He didn't who or what they were around if he wanted her he would have her. He had never seen his brother at this way around women. He had no idea what to think.

As they approached the store, Taylor finally spoke. She spoke to him. He was caught off guard being in his own thoughts.

Byron looked at him waiting onhim to he guessed answer or reply back to whatever she had said. Will looked around for help but no body spoke. Taylor leaned to the front again and turned the radio off. She slowly turned her head back to Will and asked for the second time "what is it you are needing in there?" and started smiling.

Will looked over to Byron and back to the beautiful doe brown eyes and spoke softly "wood and nails." This made Taylor look at him funny.

He was trying to figure out why she started laughing but then got distracted by his thoughts. wishing he could make her laugh everyday for the rest of his life. Not knowing where that came from he shook his head and cleared his throat. She stopped laughing and looked over atByron and asked "what did he just say and does he always mumble? " Laughing again she looked over to him before giving Byron time to answer. Taylor said to Will "use your voice, what is it you are looking for?" He wanted to reply YOU, but shook his head and said clear and voluminous he was looking for wood and nails.

They stared at each other for a brief moment and she said "okay, what side wood, how many, had what size nails?" This left him speechless.

As he pulled into a parking spot he was thinking what kinda woman knows there are different kinds and sizes of woods and nails? Who is this woman? Is my brother with her? If not is she single? Where did she come from? Why does she have the most adorable southern draw?

Finally he puts the truck into park. They get out of the red Ford pickup truck and head in.
