Lydia POV
I sighed as I sat in the ice cream parlor with my best friend, Jane.
I swear I don't know what in the world I would do without her.
Jane has always been there for me when I've needed a shoulder to cry on or even
advice about my crazy life.
"What's wrong, girl? You look a litte unhappy." Jane asked me.
"Well, I guess I am a little depressed." I said.
"Awwww don't be depressed, girl." Jans said, cheerfully. "My brother is having a party tomorrow. Why don't you come?"
"I don't know. I might not feel like it." I said. I was honestly teasing. I would do anything for Jane.
I just love seeing what her reaction is going to be.
Jane's face dropped.
Here it comes.
"What?????? Lydia, I can NOT believe you. You are coming! Even if I have drag you there myself." Jane exclaimed.
I could not help but smile.
"Of course I am going to come, Jane. I just wanted to get a rise out of you." I said, with a smile.
Jane smiled. "I should have known. But anyway, I'm glad you are coming."
"Me too." I said, with a smile.
"Anyway, my brother is inviting a bunch of guys from the team to the party too." Jane said, giving me a wink.
All of a sudden, I started to feel nervous.
I guess I should explain why.
So here it is.
Jane's brother is Clay Matthews, linebacker for the Green Bay Packers.
And why am I nervous you ask?
Well, I honestly have a crush on Aaron Rodgers, quarterback for the Packers.
And Jane knows this. She has threatened several times to set us up but I have always
managed to stop her from going any further.
I mean, I honestly would love for something to happen but I would prefer for it to happen without
assistance from anyone.
That might be crazy but that is honestly how I feel.
I looked at Jane and smiled."W-Well, I guess I need to figure out what I am going to wear."
Jane smiled. "Make sure it's something sexy."
I smiled and rolled my eyes as we finished our ice cream, paid for it, and then walked to my car.
I can honestly say that I am nervously looking forward to the party tomorrow night.
The next evening, I showed up at the party still feeling a tad nervous.
However, the minute I walked into the party, I was grabbed by Jane.
"Lydia! There you are! I did not think you were coming!" Jane said, as she pulled me close to her.
"I'm not late am I?" I asked.
"I have no idea." Jane said, laughing a little.
I swear she is crazy.
Anyway, I enjoyed the party for a while but then I started to get somewhat of a headache from all of
the loud music.
Luckily, by this time it was time for the bonfire.
I guess I forgot to mention that Jane's family has a house overlooking the beach.
I had a seat on the sand alone.
A minute later, I heard a voice of someone standing beside of me.
"Anyone sitting here?"
I looked up and noticed that it was Aaron Rodgers.
Oh my God. I'm pretty sure that my heart stopped beating for a second.
However, I was able to pull it together and said. "N-No not at all."
Aaron gave me a smile and sat down beside of me.
He then began to talk. "Are you ok? I could not help but notice you left and came outside a few minutes ago."
"Um, yeah. I'm ok. I just wanted some fresh air."
He smiled again."I understand. Sometimes loud music gets to me."
I smiled. So we have something in common.
Aaron then said. "So, you're friends with Jane?"
"Y-Yeah, she's my best friend." I said.
Wow!
I must have had a certain look on my face because Aaron pretty much read my mind when he said,
"Yeah, I asked Clay about you when I first noticed you."
"Really?" I asked, still in shock.
"Yes ma'am. " He said, with a wink. "Of course I would ask about such a beautiful lady."
I am pretty sure my heart stopped this time.
I could feel myself blushing.
"But there is one thing" He said, with a wink. "Clay never did tell me your name."
"Ummm, my name is Lydia." I said, with a smile.
"I see." Aaron said. "Beautiful name for a beautiful girl."
I smiled wide. It's still hard to believe that the guy I have been crushing on for so long is talking to
me like this.
We continued to talk for a while longer while sitting out at the bonfire and we seemed to hit it off
really well.
Aaron is so easy going and reserved, just like I imagined he would be.
"So, Lydia, since things are going so well, would you consider going out with me?" He asked.
Pinch me, am I dreaming?
I was going to assume for a moment that I am not and said, "Sure".
"Awesome" Aaron said, with a wink. "So, how about tomorrow night?"
"Sounds great."
Then, the next thing I knew Aaron gave me a small peck on my lips.
I know I was blushing but smiling widely at the same time.
To think I was a little nervous about coming to this party/bonfire.
I must say now that I am VERY glad that I did.
:):) hope you like it :)
