The Gypsy Boy

chapter 1 Lauren

 I live in a small town in southern Kansas. It is about a good thirty minute drive from the closest town. I am 5'8 blonde hair blue eyes I cant tan to save my life and I don't have a perfect body I am pretty muscular for a girl. I am a head lifeguard at the Y. It is the first day of summer. At work we have to train newbies. I walk into where they are all lined up. I am wearing my one piece with my sweats hanging off my hips. My hair is up in a messy bun and the whispies are sticking out at all angles mostly because I woke up three minutes before I had to be on the road.

"Morning Y'all my name is Lauren. I am one of the head lifeguards you will be working with. Liam and I are the head lifeguards. You report to us. Since there are only six of you non of you will have to share one of us. Who you are paired up with will be your partner for the rest of the course. If you will not be here you need to let us know. If you break one of the rules more then three times we have no choice but to kick you out of the class and you will not receive your certificate. Rule 1- You are to be in the pool area ready to start five minutes prior to the class. Rule 2- No cameras are allowed in the locker room. This is for yours and others privacy. Rule 3- Most of you here will end up working here. You will need to be a decent human being. You are representing this company. Rule 4- You can only have two unexcused absences and three excused. I am a pretty easy person to get along with as are most of us but we will not take any shit from any of you. Any questions?¨

"Who will we be paired with?" asked a girl named lily

"You are with Damion. Matt is with lacy, Connie is with Brittney, Rose is with Asher, Liam and Chris, and Montana is with me. Pair up and start".

I put my clipboard down and as I look up a tall, tan, boy about my age. He has eyes like emeralds, abs like a washboard, and biceps in comparison to a small cantaloupe. It is so hard not to stare. "Are you Montana Boswell"?

"Yes but you can call me Heath" 

"Okay".He is a gypsy from Tennessee.  He is five months older than me. We talk as we train and find out that our family's are similar. We also live very close to each other, his family bought the farm just down the road. We finish training and walk out together. I answer my phone and it is my best friend Will. He was suppose to pick me up but got called into work. I hang up and have a very annoyed look on my face.

"What's wrong?" 

"My friend can't pick me up he got called into work early."  

"Do you need a ride home?" he asked.

"Umm...", as I bite my lip.

"I don't bite and I promise to keep my hands to myself."

"Sure."

We get into his truck. It is pretty clean for a country boy's truck. As we drive we talk. I find out that he has two siblings. His sister (Destiny) is twenty and has two kids. Clementine "Lemon" who is two and Blair who is six months. He also who has a brother (Dylan) that is sixteen. He even mentioned something about just getting out of a very serious relationship right before he moved. They were engaged and were going to be married at the end of the month. He broke it off due to her cheating and being unchaste.(Female Gypsy's are suppose to be chaste until marriage. Chaste is another word for virgin.)

"Would you like to meet my nieces? My sister has work and I'm babysitting."

"Why not they sound adorable."

"Good they should like you."

"Should?"

"You won me over at just one look. It shouldn't be hard for them to fall in love with you."
