Part 7

"What do you mean when Grant gets into town?" Skeet asked
"Grant is coming to town to help us with Joan. He thinks it's not her." Shawnie told him
"So we have to stay here and not go anywhere at all, but here." Skeet asked.
"What are you complaning about you two have the whole house to yourselves. That is a bad thing why?" Shawnie explained to him.
Drea and Skeet's eyes brightened up and said "Okay see you later. Call me when he get to town."
Shawnie and Josh started laughing and left. When they got back to Josh's house, he carried her bag into the house and put it in his bedroom. Shawnie stayed in the kitchen. She was staring out the window when he came in the room. He walked up behind her and said "What are you thinking about?"
"Oh nothing. I was just looking."
She turned around and said "What do you want for lunch?"
"How about I cook this time?" he asked.
"I can do it. I don't mind." she said.
"You go and put your things away and I will cook us lunch." he told her,
Shawnie kissed him and went to his bedroom. She looked at his closet and saw that there was room for her clothes. She could tell that he had moved his things so she could have room. She smiled at that. When she was finished putting away her clothes she went back to the kitchen. He had everything almost done. He put his hand up for her to stay away. She started laughing.    She leaned up against the wall watching him. He was finished putting everything on the table and looked at her and said "You may now enter."
He pulled out a chair, so she could sit down. She sat down and he pushed in the chair and put the napkin in her lap.   He walked over to his side and said "Now I hope you like it."
She looked down at her plate and said "How did you learn to cook?"
"My mom taught me. Well taste it and tell me how you like it." he asked.
Shawnie tasted it and said "Oh my gosh this is delicious. What is it?"
"It's chicken breasts sauted in red wine. Mashed potatoes and country gravy and green beans, and I almost forgot rolls." he said to her.
"You made so much that I won't be hungry for dinner, or is that your point." she asked him.
Josh started laughing and said "Well that is my intentions."
Shawnie started laughing. They started eating. Josh got up and got them drinks. He handed Shawnie a wine glass with red wine. She looked at it and said "I can't drink. I am in training."
"Just try it, it will help bring out the taste in the chicken. One glass won't hurt you." he told her.
Shawnie took the glass and took a sip. She looked at him and said "This is grape juice."
"I know, I know you can't like to drink." he said to her.
She started laughing. When they finished their meal Shawnie started cleaning up the table. Josh stopped her and said "I will clean up."
"No, you cooked I clean." she said to him.
"Okay we will do it together." he said smiling.
When they finished the dishes he asked her if she wanted to watch a movie.
"No, I think I want to do something else. I want to dance, for some reason." she said.
"Come here then." he said.
He took her into the den and turned on the stereo. He turned on slow songs and said "I hope you want to slow dance."
"That is excatly what I want to do." she said.
They started slow dancing. He pulled her closer to him. She could feel every part of his body against hers. She laid her head on his chest. He bent down so she could put her head on his shoulder. She was already on her tip toes.
He started laughing and said "Do you want me to get you a stool to stand on?"
"No, it's not easy when you are five two. and you are like six feet tall." she said.
He just laughed some more. They were dancing through eight songs when he pulled her away and looked her in the eyes and kissed her.    When they broke from the kiss she looked at him and said "Josh, I don't want to sound like a hypocrite or anything but I want you bad. I mean I want you really bad. I am ready but I'm not ready. Do you know what I'm saying?"
"Yes, I know what you are saying. I don't want to rush you. Take your time. I will still want you no matter what?" he said to her/
"Thank you. I love you so much." she said with out knowing what she had said.
Josh looked at her and said "What?"
Shawnie looked at him and then looked at the floor.
"What did you say?" he asked.
"You heard me." she said.
"I want to hear you say it again." he said.
"I said I love you. Is that a crime?" she told him.
Josh started laughing and said "No, I have loved you since I was fifteen."
He could tell that she was uncomfortable, so he tilted her head up and kissed her forehead. Shawnie smiled and said "I don't want to dance anymore."
"Okay what do you want to do then?" he asked.
"I want to go swimming. Do you have a pool here?" she said.
"Oh yes, we have a pool." he told her.
He grabbed her hand. He took her to the back of the house and said "We have an indoor pool. The swimming suits are over in the club house. Go and pick one out?"
Shawnie went to the club house and started going through the suits when Josh came in behind her. He picked up on that was very very skimpy and said "This one will do."
"I don't think so." she said to him.
"Why you won't have it on for very long?" he said with a smile.
"Oh I won't will I. What are you wearing?" she asked.
"I don't wear one. I go bare." he told her.
She started laughing and picked one out that wasn't quiet so skimpy. She went behind a door to put it on. When she came out Josh looked her up and down and said. "Wow. You look beautiful."
"Thank you." she said.
He grabbed her hand and ran to the pool. He jumps in and she stayed on the side. He comes up and said "Aren't you coming in?"
"Yes, I just have to get the feel of the water. I know I'm weird but I have been doing this my whole life." she said.
He started laughing and dove back under. She diove in and swam to the middle of the pool still under the water. He watched with amazment. When she came up for air he said to "How did you do that? This is an olympic size pool. You had to hold your breath for at least a hundred yards."
"I'm on the swim team. I have to hold breath that long. Hello"
"You're on the swim team, I didn't know that." he said to her.
"Oh my gosh I have been on the swim team forever. Are you feeling okay?" she asked.
He started laughing and said "I don't know. How long have you been on the swim team?"
