The
searing sunrays that beat down with a fierce heat, cast a dark shadow
from Lucy, in her white summer dress and wide belt onto the high
wall.
Lucy
wore only a hint of makeup, and her long blond hair hung loose and
slightly bedraggled as the heat made it appear greasy. Although aged
eighteen, she sometimes had to show her ID for proof of admittance
into clubs, due to her being mistaken for someone younger.Maybe
that was why Brad had never looked upon her as anything more than a
good friend. And while Lucy respected this, she would rather have
meant so much more to him.
Lucy pressed her slender body right against the bricks, their coolness being a welcome feeling against her. She wished,however, that she could hear what
was going on the other side, but the wall denied her that privilege.
There was one noise however. A sudden high pitched shriek sounded,
and as Lucy tried to distinguish in her mind it meant, she got her
answer.
She
turned her head, just as Brad walked around the corner, arm in arm
with her sister. The unmistakable glint of a diamond ring came from
her left hand.
Gutted.
Excellent tease
