Chapter Five

Grace

I’m dying for Sunday to arrive. After practice, Ryan and I leave our confessions as something to pray over and the days following are long. Every bone in my body wants to go next door and give myself to him, but I resist temptation. And it bites me in the ass.

Friday afternoon, I’m sitting at the bench in the breakfast nook. Ive walks out to get the mail. He likes me. He really likes me. I can’t wait for our first kiss. I lean an elbow on the window sill and sigh deeply. Ryan waves to someone on the street. I turn to see my dad walking down the sidewalk to him. Noooooooo!

The two men in my life spend a few moments. At first I notice Ryan’s jovial in his stance, even ribs my dad and laughs. Then he crosses his arms and looks serious. My dad turns to the house. Then turns back, nods his head, and shakes his finger at Ryan. My thoughts immediately go to the worse possible scenario. He’s told my dad everything. Why? Dad said no. He doesn’t approve. Why would he?

“What did he say?” I ask, impatiently before dad shuts the front door all the way.

“Small talk and he asked about you,” Dad says matter of factly.

Asked? As in marriage? Have all my dreams come true? We haven’t even kissed. It’s far fetched, but I quickly let my hopes about Ryan stray to the extreme. “What did you say to him?” I follow dad into the kitchen where he’s dropped the mail off on the countertop.

“He’s picking you up at six in the morning for the baseball game.” Dad sternly points his finger at me. “Be ready and on the porch. I told Pastor Ryan and I’m telling you. Don’t wake your mother up that early.”

“Yes, sir,” I squeal, turning and running up the stairs. We’re going on a date. And it’s out of town. This has to be a date date. I have to go plan my outfit. Take a shower. Shave. Condition my hair. So much to do. I get to spend the whole day with him tomorrow!
