♥ Forbidden Love ♥
Emmy Rose slowly rose up from the white sheets that covered her bed and yawned. She kicked her legs over the side of her bed and headed to her closet where she threw on a floral summer dress and a white knit cap over her wavy blonde hair, grabbed her journal then headed downstairs where she could smell breakfast cooking.
Emmy spotted her mother in the kitchen cooking what smelled like bacon. Her father sat at the table reading a newspaper as he waited for breakfast. Harleigh, Emmaline's little sister was nowhere to be seen. Emmy sighed and quietly slipped out the front door of their little house.
The Hayes' house was what some would call a "perfect american family" house. It was large but not a sprawling mansion. The lawn was a lush green and it was surrounded by a white picket fence. Emmy always enjoyed simple things so their little house did well to please her. There was one flaw however. The neighbors.
Emmy looked towards the Stark's house and frowned slightly. She saw Shia Stark, her least favorite Stark, mowing the lawn. She rolled her eyes and sat down on the little tire swing the Hayes girls had had since the age of eight.
Emmy opened up to a fresh new page of her journal and started writing. Emmy was quite a poet. She loved making poems for they came naturally to Emmy.
"Emmaline, Harleigh!" Came the voice of Cindy Hayes, Emmaline and Harleigh's mother. Emmy hopped off the swing and gently set her journal by the tree, wedged between a rock before heading inside. Emmy sat at the dining table in their kitchen and smiled. A large plate piled with scrambled eggs and toast sat in front of her. Emmy smiled and poured herself a glass of orange juice as she waited for everyone else in the family to be seated.
"It's the third Saturday of the month. It's your turn to mow." Shia groaned and reluctantly pulled the sneakers on before trudging outside. He opened up the shed and pulled out a rusty old lawn mower.What Shia didn't understand is why their family had so much money yet they never bothered to buy a new lawnmower. Or preferably, a landscaper.
Shia removed his tank top and draped it around his neck as he started the lawn mower.
About twenty minutes into his work, the lawn mower stopped working. Shia growled and walked around the side of the thing. He kicked the lawn mower, hard, the machine sputtered then died.
"Damn it!" Shia growled dragging the machine back to the shed where he found the old fashioned lawn mowers. He let out a groan then got to work in the blazing Florida summer heat.
