We'll just be a minute at Pete's and then we can go home and crash." Thinking I was sighing at his statement, Denny added, "I know you're tired, Kiera. I sighed and hoped they got over this college thing quickly. Having loved being in the States for a year back in high school, it didn't take him long to decide to transfer to Ohio U, which to my parents, up until he had swept me away that is, made him the ideal candidate for my affections.
Denny, being the sweetheart that he is, had decided to come with her, and help her get settled. Luckily for me, Denny had an Aunt who, three years ago, had been offered a position at Ohio University and moved over here. It never ceased to bring me some small sliver of joy, as weird as that was. Not too much longer now, maybe a couple of hours." The way his accent slid over his words was curiously intoxicating to me. His eyes were warm and a deep, dark brown and were currently turned in my direction to sparkle at me. His hair was a dark, dark brown and he liked to have it lightly styled into chunky, but orderly pieces, which I loved to do for him and he adoringly let me, sighing and complaining the whole while that he was just going to shave it off one day. He wasn't overly tall for a guy, but he was taller than me, even when I wore heels, and that was enough. No, a more natural, proportioned, athletic way.
He was originally from a small town in Queensland, Australia, and a lifetime spent in the water at that exotic locale had left him tan and muscular, but not in a beefy kind of way. I know, it's not the manliest way to describe a guy, but in my head, it was the adjective I used most often and it fit him to a tee. The reason for my transfer was sitting beside me, driving us away in his beat-up Honda. Family gatherings were going to be.colorful from now on. I had landed a pretty nice scholarship though, and that had definitely helped to sway my parents. What had shocked them even more, if that were possible, was the fact that I was transferring nearly twenty-five hundred miles away to Washington, more specifically, the University of Washington in Seattle. Therefore, it had been a terrible family tragedy, when a few months ago, during my second year there, I'd made plans to transfer out in the fall.
It was never discussed among our little foursome, but it was a known-from-birth fact, that my sister and I would be attending and graduating Ohio University. I had been born and raised there, along with every other member of my family. My boyfriend and I were driving away from Athens, Ohio. I'm assuming that's if you're super human and never need a pit stop, of course. According to MapQuest, it was roughly thirty-seven hours and eleven minutes long. Still, by anyone's standards the drive was absurdly long. That really wasn't saying a whole lot, since I had never driven more than sixty miles away from my home town. It was the longest drive I had ever been on.
