Sixteen

There’s always a first time…

After dinner, they all headed back into the living room. She poured herself and Julie another glass of wine as they made themselves comfortable in front of the fire.

“My god,” Julie said, relaxing back and putting her socked feet up. “That meal was worth the long drive up here. Like I’ve always said, you could go into the culinary arts and make a lot of people happy.”

Rose chuckled.

“I’m going to let the dogs out,” Sawyer said before sitting down. She moved to get up, but he stopped her. “I’ve got this. Stay, enjoy some time with your friend. I’ll probably head up and get some rest. I’m feeling tired and wonderfully full now.”

“Thank you.” She set Tsuna down on the floor. The little dog rushed after Ozzy and Sawyer.

Julie turned to her once they heard the back door open and close. “Okay, dish.”

She smiled. “He’s just a friend.”

“Right, girl.” Julie sighed. “I wish I had a friend that looked at me like that man looks at you.”

“How does he look at me?” she asked.

“Like Rhett Butler looked at Scarlet.”

Rose laughed. “You can do better than that,” she joked.

Julie thought about it for a moment, then added. “He looked at you like Noah looked at Allie in The Notebook.” Julie frowned.

Rose tilted her head and raised her eyebrows.

Julie thought about it for a second. “He looks at you like he’s Christian Grey and he wants to drag you to the red room.” Her friend’s smile turned wicked.

Rose laughed. “I like that one.” She thought about doing all the things with Sawyer that the book had described and giggled.

“Girl, you need to lock that in.” They grew silent when the back door opened, and they could hear Sawyer talking softly to the dogs. Then she listened as he took the back stairs up to his room. She was sure that both dogs followed him up to bed.

“Tell me, at least, that you’ve kissed that man?” Julie asked.

“What is this? High school?” Rose laughed.

“No, but if I drink enough wine, we can pretend and braid each other’s hair.” Julie held up her wineglass.

“I’m so happy you’re here.” She picked up the bottle and poured more wine for the both of them.

Half an hour later, after filling Julie in about everything that had been happening to her over the last few weeks, they emptied the bottle of wine.

“How about some more wine?” Julie asked.

Rose’s eyes turned to the basement door. “Come downstairs with me?”

“Of course. I want to see those footprints and that wall myself.” Her friend tugged her up from the sofa.

Once again, she had to take a deep breath before reaching for the door handle. Her friend placed her hand over hers and together they turned the knob.

“Brrr.” Julie shivered. “Is it always this cold?”

“Until they put in the glass doors, it’s as cold inside here as it is outside,” Rose answered.

Julie took her arm and they made their way down the stairs together. This time when the lights flickered, they both jumped, then giggled.
