Chapter 8 The Windtalkers

Grace walks out of the preschool that afternoon to the fresh air and blue sky left after the storm passed through. She can't help smiling despite her fear. It is such a beautiful day and the man she loves waits for her.

" Love" the word terrifies her. The only love she really trusts is the love she feels for her mom and brother and the agape love of God's. But she can't stop or change what she feels for Daniel. She takes comfort in the knowledge that this love, the intensity of it, had to come from God.

" Grace," his face lights up when he sees her. She can't help smiling back. She walks over and he takes her bag and then her hands.

" Are you ready for this?" he asks her.

" I don't know." Is she ready to meet his family? Will she like them? Would they like her?

" They will adore you." he reassures her reading the questions on her face.

" Okay. Do I look okay?" She had dressed very carefully this morning. She wears dress pants and a sweater instead of jeans and a sweatshirt. She has her hair in a ponytail for work but plans on pulling it down and brushing it out when they get to his parents house.

" Beyond okay. You are beautiful Grace."

" Thanks."

He slips the helmet on her head and the jacket on her. She climbs up on the motorcycle. He squeezes her hands reassuringly, kickstarts the bike and they are off.

It isn't long before they pull up in front of a brick house. Mums line the flower bed in front. The lawn is well maintained and the driveway looks freshly sweeped. There are no sign of the leaves that fill the lawns and driveways they had drove past. When they park, Daniel helps her off and stores their helmets and jackets as Grace brushs their hair out.

" Okay. I am ready," she strives to inject some confidence in her voice.

" Yes you are. It will be fine."

She reachs for his hand and they walk towards the front door. It opens before they reach it. A gorgeous young girl stands before them. Her hair is silky black and hangs in twin braids on either side of her face. Her eyes are bright green like her brothers.

" Hi Rachael," Daniel greets her," this is Grace. Grace my sister Rachael."

" Hi Grace. So excited to see you." she says putting her hand out.

" Very nice to meet you Rachael," Grace shakes her offered hand. She keeps a hold of it pulling Grace into the house.

" She's pretty." she attempts to whisper to her brother.

" I know," he says following them with a smile.

" Hey guys, they are here." Rachael loudly announces as they enter the living room.

The room is large and panelled in tan colored wood. It contains two full couches and several chairs. Indian weavings cover the floor. An American flag hangs prominently on one wall. A Navy flag on another. Family pictures cover the other two. The couchs are full of people. The oldest gentleman, Daniel's papa stands when they enter. His mom sits holding a baby with a toddler seating against her. The other little boy sits on the other couch where his papa had been seating.

" Papa, meet my girlfriend Grace. Grace, my papa Paul."

" Grace we are so pleased to meet you." Paul takes her hand.

" Thank you. I am very pleased to meet you too." Grace shakes his long russet hand. Paul Windtalker is all native American. He has the russet skin, broad features, dark eyes, and long silky hair that she expects.

His mom rises from the couch, handing baby Levi to her husband as she comes up to greet her.

" Mom meet my Grace. Grace my mom Tammy."

Tammy Windtalker is the opposite of her husband. She is as pale as he is dark. Her hair is blond and, of course, her eyes are green. She is short. Grace shakes her hand.

" Ah Grace, so pleased that Daniel is finally bringing someone to meet us."

" Well, uh, I am happy to be here."

" This is our youngest Levi and this is Rose," she touches the top of her children's heads as she introduces them." And this is Abe."

He had came running over and stops before Grace. Her grins up at her and she grins back.

" Nice to meet cha'" he says shaking her hand.

" Nice to meet you Abe."

" You have beautiful children," she tells Paul and Tammy.

" Thank you Grace," Paul replies.

They find seats. Rachael sits beside Grace and talks excitedly.

" Were you born with those curls? Man, I wish I had curlse like that. My friend Missy has curls. She is so pretty. You are pretty too Grace."

" Rachael, let poor Grace get a word in." her mom says.

" Yes Rachael. I was born with the curls. I love your hair. When I was your age I wanted hair like yours. I learned to appreciate the curles as I got older. You will feel the same about your hair too. I am sure your friend Missy is beautiful. But so are you." Rachael sits beaming beside her.

" Do you have a bunch of btothers and sisters too?" Abe asks her.

" No. Just one brother, Luke. He is your age."

" Wow, I bet it is quiet at your house."

" Yes, pretty much."

" Daniel tells us you are going to college and leaning towards nursing or social work." Tammy comments.

" Yes ma'am."

" That is wonderful. I was in nursing classes myself before the children started coming."

" Well, you can always go back."

" Yes. We have actually discussed it. After Levi is school age."

" You should. All this caregiving experience will make you an excellent nurse."

" Why thank you Grace."

Over the course of the evening, Grace hears stories about Paul's time in the Navy.. He had served in Desert Storm.

" Though I have never got as far as Daniel here." His pride for his son bleeds through every word.

She gets to hold baby Levi. He is a carbon copy of his dad. He lays heavy and sleepy against his chest. She holds Rose on her lap for awhile. Rose looks more like her sister Rachael and her brother Daniel.. She is a sweet shy girl.

She plays Candyland© with Abe. He wins but if he cheats, like Daniel thinks, she can't catch him.

She and Daniel eat supper with the family. It's a fun, chaotic meal. They talk over each other as they laugh and joke. Grace wbo has never sat at such a large table, is fascinated. Daniel, seeing her expression says,

" And remember we are not all here. David, June, and Becky are absent." Daniel's brother David is on a carrier somewhere in the Indian Ocean. June and Becky serve as a police officer and a fireman in Savannah.

" That's true."

" They will all be here for Christmas next month. You can meet them then." Paul says.

" Well maybe not David." Daniel reminds him.

" They like you." Daniel tells her before putting her helmet on.

" I like them too."

" Good."

He bends down to kiss her forehead but she lifts her head so he meets her lips instead. It is unexpected so Daniel isn't prepared. Despite this, it is a sweet kiss, tender and gentle. It is witness, sight unseen by Grace and Daniel, by Rachael who stands at the door with a huge smile on her face.

" Stop spying on your brother," Tammy says pulling her back in the house and firmly shutting the door.

" Wow. My first kiss," Grace whispers when Daniel reluctantly steps back.

" Wow! Really." This startles Daniel.

" Yes. My first romantic one anyway."

" If I would have known that, I would have done a better job."

" I am not sure you could have."

" Well thank you."

" Thank you too. For a great evening and an awesome first kiss."

" You are quite welcome Grace. Now let's get you home."

" Okay. I love you Daniel."

" I love you too Grace."

1. Only Angel

(first ever story!!!! sorry if it isnt good im open for constructive criticism and suggestions) —saints "EVEN MY PHONE MISSES YOUR CALL BY THE WAY!!" we sang on our way to see the guy that helped me through my tough times the only person who could make me a puddle of softness in a matter of seconds. "i still cant believe we're seeing him like we are legit seeing him" said Y/F/N while staring at the road wide eyed gripping the stirring wheel like her life depends on it. "i know it seems so surreal to me. But like dont you feel proud we earned those tickets we worked two shifts for almost a month for this" you said smiling like a damn fool. "I cant believe i sacrificed a month just so he can fall in love with me the moment he walks on stage" says Y/GF/N while fixing his make up for the third time. "you know he's straight right?" Y/F/N said through the rear view mirror "you dont know that" Y/GF/N said while shrugging and dropping a wink at her at the rear view mirror. while you roll your eyes at your two bestfriends. — This is actually it im actually seeing him. My seat was 10 feet away from the stage which for me was the perfect distance to watch him but ofcourse my bestfriends did try to convince more like forced me to get seats closer to him but i told them i wont move the seats and here we are with the most perfect view of the stage. You were shaking i mean how wouldn't you ? This is the guy who saved your life and keeped you afloat. "Hey y/n you okay girly? You dont look so good" y/f/n said while rubbing your arm. "Im F-fine .. uh i just um i uh ive seen him before but never this close im just very overwhelmed" whispering the last part. y/f/n hugged me and told me that i should be happy im Actually seeing him not just his hair like the last 1D concert i went to basically all i saw was harry's curlse flopping around. The lights suddenly deemed then a flash of red light was seen on stage i can hear scream heck i know im screaming its like i dont have control anymore im all his. Then there it was,there HE was standing in a suite that probably costs more than myself standing behind the band walking to his mic where we can actually see him. I felt myself gasp at the sight of him boy was he something else its like looking at art and wondering why the hell is it so beautiful that you cant look away and i was just there no screams came out of my mouth i was just dazed by him he has his head bowed till he reached his mic stand then hell broke loose everyone was screaming. "SHE WORKED HER WAY WITH A CHEAP PACK OF CIGARETTE.." "How are you doing tonight in this fine evening?" Harry asks making the crowd go wild it made him smile how much energy the people who loves him has it makes him confident it makes him love what he does. "Thank you so much for having me tonight if you know the lyrics to this very innocent song please sing a long" he says with a smirk knowing completely it isnt so innocent. "OPEN UP YOUR EYES SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND SEE.." as soon as you heard the band you started dancing like crazy dancing with your bestfriend this was one of your top favorites in his album how can you not go crazy on this one. Harry was cheering the crowd on. going to different sides of the stage cheering them to sing it louder then he came to the middle,our side. "gonna be an angel, just you wait and see. When it turns out she's a devil in between the sheets" he sings my favorite part making me dance like crazy and the moment i diverted my attention to him to sing-a-long to the chorus. There he was smiling at me "She's an Angel Only angel."
