Product Of A Murderer

I take a deep breath, and wash my hands.

"I am going to do this. I’ll be alright."
I walk back to the table, and I see a man sitting across from Nikki. His back is turned to me.
"This is it" I mumble quietly under my breath

“Scout! You’re back.” Nikki says

“Yeah. I was only in the bathroom.” I laugh.
I can't see her brother’s face. But something about him, reminds me of someone.

“Oh!” She says “This is my brother”
He stood up from his seat, and turned toward me.

“HOLY SHIT.” I say “You never told me your brother was Austin Carlile.”

Austin smiles “So you know me?”

“Yeah.” I say blankly and completely unaware that my face is blood red.

‘BREATH FUCKTARD!’

“I mean… I don’t know you. I know of you.” I laugh.

“Oh don’t lie. YOU LOVE OM&M!” Nikki says.

"Well yeah." I casually laugh
I am nervous. How could I not put two and two together?
Nicole Carlile, youngest of two siblings. Her mother died a few years back, her brother always traveling for work. She grew up on the corner of Second and Sebring....

"What's on your mind love?" Austin asks pulling me out if my thoughts.
I feel my face grow flush and beet red, but I try to act casual, "Oh just trying to figure out why I never put the clues together. Haha..."

"Yeah, why didn't you?" Nikki laughed

I roll my eyes and laugh "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I thought you would figure it out eventually. Boy was I wrong." She laughs

I just stare at her.

"Are you just gonna stand there?"

"Oh haha no."

I reach for my soda when Austin scoots over, "You can sit next to me," he pauses "If you like"

I blush "Sure" I laugh "I would love too."
I sit next to him, his tall body next to my petite one.

His big brown eyes staring into my hazel ones. I smile. I never realized how beautiful he really is.
We just look at eachother and smile. Not realizing that Nikki left to talk to Scott the waiter.

"So where you from?" He asks me

"San Diego" I giggle

"Nice. Warm"

"Yeah" I can't help but be infatuated with him. Don't get me wrong I have always thought, ' Austin Carlile, the front man of Of Mice&Men' is cute, but Austin the brother of my best friend, the guy who makes me smile and my heart race, he's perfect. In a non perfect sort of unexpected way. I guess you can say I'm smitten.
