Pine (part 4)

(Continued from yesterday. Click here to go back to the beginning.)

Jace tensed and his heart beat faster.

Jennifer swallowed. “This is really good.”

“Thanks.”

The page after that was a collage of Jennifer. She was cute, sophisticated, sexy, humble, studious, and numerous other qualities for which there are no words.

Jace panicked. “Sorry.” He fumbled with words. “I didn’t, uh, mean to, um, stalk you– or anything.”

Jennifer didn’t look angry or scared as she looked him in the eye. She took a breath. “Will you kiss me?”

Jace froze, like a deer mesmerized by a pair of headlights.

As if in a dream he touched his lips to hers, soft and full. She smelled good. He put his arm around her, and his hand passed over the strap of her bra. Her body was warm and there. She put her hand on his leg.

A moment later, he counted her eyelashes. He touched his thumb to her eyebrow and traced it around, and Jennifer snuggled her cheek into Jace’s palm. Her skin was soft. It was smooth. And she looked happy.

“I like you, Jace,” she managed. Then, with a lost smile, “I wish I wasn’t moving.”

“You’re moving?”

“Yes, to Seattle.”

“That’s pretty far,” he said.

“Yes, it is.”

“It sure is.”

“Can you sit with me for a little while?”

The next day, Jace had to walk on the grass as he passed by the house, because the green and white moving van was taking up the whole sidewalk. He hoped to catch a glimpse of Jennifer, but she was nowhere to be seen.

Now when Jace walks by the house, he sometimes sees two young children playing in the yard. Jace has Jennifer’s new address, and they’ve exchanged one or two letters. But he doesn’t know whether he’ll ever see her again. He figures, even if you’re an artist, sometimes you draw dead. Still he imagines he sees Jennifer sitting under the pines, reading or humming softly a tune Jace doesn’t know.

(The end.)

    Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog.

    Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal
    but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to begin.
    Do you have any points or suggestions? With
    thanks

    You could definitely see your skills within the work you write.
    The arena hopes for even more passionate writers such as you
    who aren’t afraid to say how they believe. All the
    time follow your heart.

    Такая тут вкусная цена была недавно на фтор.И продукт офигенский.А теперь цену подняли до всеобщего уровня.И я не вижу уже причин заказать именно здесь а не где-то ещё.Так-то с отправкой всё ровно будет,но цена… купить мефедрон все скоро будут всем довольны, а те кто ждал и не паниковал будут вдвойне довольны!

    I think that what you published was very reasonable.
    However, what about this? what if you wrote a catchier post title?

    I am not suggesting your content isn’t good, but suppose
    you added a title that makes people desire more?

    I mean Pine (part 4) is kinda boring. You should peek at Yahoo’s front page and
    note how they create article headlines to
    grab people to click. You might add a video or a related
    pic or two to grab readers interested about what you’ve got to say.
    Just my opinion, it could bring your blog a little bit more interesting.

    Hi there, I think your web site may be having browser compatibility issues.

    Whenever I look at your website in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in IE, it’s
    got some overlapping issues. I simply wanted to provide you with a quick heads up!
    Aside from that, great site!
