Clarisse’s hand spasmed in mine as her cheeks again got pink, her eyes got round and not in a pissed off way and her perfect, full lips parted endearingly.įinally, she visibly and audibly forced out an, “Uh…thanks.” I squeezed her hand and said right out, “I’m into your Dad so you gotta know I want you to like me but I’m not blowing sunshine when I say you’re the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen.” She looked at it then at me, took my hand and murmured, “Hey.” “Hey, honey,” I said softly and put my hand out. I stopped looking at No and turned my gaze to Clarisse. “Right, that’s No and this is my daughter, Clarisse,” Mike carried on. Yeah, the high school girls creamed their pants for this kid. His easy, lazy grin turned into a bright, easy, lazy smile. He was using that word in two ways and No’s playful gaze went unrepentantly to his Dad then to me. I was certain the daggers were imaginary because her brother wasn’t felled instantly.Īt the same time I heard Rhonda gasp and Kirby and Finley chuckle. Then daggers formed in her eyes as she glared at her brother. Then he let my hand go, looked to his sister and declared, “Told you Dad would nail a hot babe.”Ĭlarisse’s eyes got big and her face flushed in a way that was so becoming I felt the desire to find a camera immediately and capture it on film. “Yeah, you too,” he replied, grinning an easy but lazy grin that I was certain the high school girls all creamed their pants over. I took it, squeezed and smiled up at him. He likes to be called No,” Mike started to introduce, I pulled my eyes from the beautiful Clarisse and looked up at No who was offering a hand to me.
