Prologue
Olivia
Winterville is a small town in Michigan. We spent the day on the lake and as dusk approached Brent and I settled on the bench that sat between our houses facing the water. I wanted to savor the moment. We spent the afternoon kayaking around the lake talking and joking. Fall was fast approaching and I wanted to take full advantage of the warm weather.
As the sun began to set my anxiety rose before tomorrow is my first day of high school. Brent was sitting next to me the tips of his sun bleached hair looked white in the moonlight. Reaching a hand up I gave into the temptation to see if his hair was as soft as it looked. I buried my fingers in the thick silky hair at he nape of his neck. The action took Brent by surprise and he quickly turned to me causing me to tug the hair I instinctively tightened my grip on. Brent's eyes widened in suprise as they met mine. I immediately released my grip on his hair and let my arm fall to my side. I could feel the heat rising into my cheeks and dropped my eyes in embarrassment. "Sorry.. I..I..I"
I stuttered out just as Brent asked "what was that for?"
I could feel him looking at me and tried to build up the courage to raise my eyes to his.
"Hey, It's okay. You just surprised me. Don't get upset" Brent said as he put a comforting hand on my shoulder. "you know you can tell me anything" he said in a gentle voice.
Thinking back over our friendship I wondered how he'd react if I told him I liked him. Like really like liked him. we moved in next door when I was 5 and he was 7. Brent was disappointed I didn't have a brother but we ended up being fast friends as the only elementary kids on the block. I don't think he ever really thought of me as a girl. I took a deep breath and slowly let it out before meeting his gaze. "I was touching your hair...I umm just wanted to feel it." I finished in a rush.
Brent looked a bit confused at first but tipped his head forward and took my hand in his and placed it back on his head. I seemed to be frozen in place, my shocked eyes met his for a moment and glanced off.
"Go ahead feel away" he chuckled. His words seemed to release me from some spell and my fingers relaxed and I started brushing them through his hair. "It's even softer than it looks" I breathed out as I raked my nails down and tangled them at the nape of his neck.
A sound rumbled up from Brent's chest drawing my attention back to his face. There was something in his eyes I've never seen before and my heartbeat sped up and I felt like I couldn't breathe. He reached up and took my glasses off and I blinked to focus in on his face. "wha...." I never got a chance to finish my thought because he tipped my chin up and lowered his lips until they met mine. I was too shocked to react at first his lips were so soft and warm. I felt the tip of his tongue tasting my lips and took a shocked breath. "relax" He murmured as he took my head in his hands and deepened the kiss. Our tongues met and retreated in a dance as old as time. The night seemed to stand still as Brent slid his hands down to smooth them over my back before tightening his arms bringing by breasts into contact with his chest. I felt my n*****s harden and my most private places became hot and damp.
"Livy..."
"Livy ... Olivia time to come inside school starts tomorrow" at the sound of my dad's shout Brent and I sprang apart. I struggled to slow my heartbeat and looked up into Brent's eyes, they seemed darker than usual. He cupped my cheek with his hand and gave me a quick peck on the lips and said "you'd better get home".
"I'll talk to you tomorrow?" It was a tentative question I was starting my freshman year and he was going to be a junior and played on the varsity football team.
"Definitely" he answered with a wink as we split ways and went to our respective houses.
