I never liked summer vacation. Besides the fact that people come back to school in the Fall looking different. It was something about the summer heat and the shirtless brown-eyed boys playing volleyball always spelled trouble for me. I guess that’s why I finally got my cut of summer trouble. It was summer vacation. I was 17 and he was 20. I was poor and he was rich. I was black and he was white. We were only human. I remember the first time I met Leon Smith like it was yesterday. I was visiting my mother who worked for a wealthy family that was spending time in their summer vacation in their summer home. Their estate was beautiful! They had an old fashioned antebellum mansion with a few modern touches. Their lawn seemed to have stretched as far as the eyes can see and their old blooming trees seemed to be flirting with the summer breeze. I could see why momma was so anxious on taking the job to work for the Smith’s, they seemed like a family that everything.
As I reached the tall brown front door, I anxiously rang the doorbell wondering if it would be momma answering the door. Suddenly I began feeling out of place. My hair was messy, my sneakers were worn out, and my clothes looked untidy. Then there he was, Leon, answering the door. His dark brown hair and warm sky blue eyes pierced through my soul the moment he laid eyes on me. His tall perfectly built frame, showing clear as day under his white T-shirt and denim jeans, made my heart skip two beats. Looking at him made goose bumps all over my skin.
“May I help you little lady?” He said, as his eyes slowly looked me up and down with a smile spreading across his face. I don’t know why, but I couldn’t answer. My lips were glued shut.
“ I….I ….I’m looking for my momma.”
“Oh, you must be Jodonna’s little girl, Sophia. She talks a lot about you. Well come on in.” He said, leading me into his abundantly furnished living room. “Wait here while I go get her.” He said, putting his hand on my shoulder before leaving the living room.
Sorry another REPOST. What do u think of my new draft so far?
