Summary- A retelling of Season 1, told from Bay and Emmett's POV's, with my
own BTS twists thrown in.
#-----------
Chapter 1- episodes 1&2
The first time I saw her, I was interested. She was beautiful and put
together in all the right places. Her black hair shone in the sun. I didn't mean
to stare. She just drew me in like a moth to a flame.
"Who's that?" I ask Daphne.
"Me….in another life," is her response.
Hesitating to press for more, I nodded. Looking at her one more time, we
drove away. I would learn her name eventually.
#-----------
The first time I saw him, I was interested. He was handsome and damn that
motorcycle was hot. I never really cared for guys on motorcycles, but I changed
my mind once I saw him. This must be Emmett, the friend Daphne is always going
on and on about. I see him staring and return his stare.
He says something to Daphne while still watching me for a moment.
"Me….in another life," I hear her say. So he was asking about me. The thought
made me smile.
Looking at me one more time, he smiles and they drove away.
#-----------
The next time I see her, I am again picking up Daphne. It's a little more out
of my way now, but I don't care. They all come outside. John, I know. The woman
is obviously his wife, Daphne's mom. They look a lot alike. Toby, the moron who
dissed me unintentionally the other day, and her. I was almost giddy. Now I
would learn her name.
I make a quip about trading a rookie Mark McQuire for John's card. Actually,
I'm just killing time waiting for the introduction I wanted.
Finally, Daphne says, "This is Bay." I smile and wave. She smiles and waves
back. Bay, it fits her. I find myself staring again. What is it about her that
draws me to her?
#-----------
The next time I see him, he is again picking Daphne up for school. Can't
Regina take her? My parents are freaking out about the whole motorcycle thing.
Wonder what they would say if I said I wanted to take a spin with him? We all
troop outside to officially meet Emmett. Daphne isn't sure how to introduce us
to him. Finally, Dad steps up, to dispel the awkwardness. Emmett tells about
trading a rookie Mark McQuire card for Dad's card when he was younger. Dad
puffed up like a peacock.
"You get an autographed picture, my friend," Dad tells him.
"I happen to have one in my wallet, right here!" Toby and I quip. I forgot
for a second that Emmett couldn't hear us.
Finally, Daphne introduces me to him. He smiles and waves. I smile and wave
back. Then I see him stare at me again. That boy had a stare that could melt
butter.
Mom asked how long they had been together. Both of them said, "No, just
friends."
That made me happy.
A few nights later, I see him bring home Daphne late. They don't see me,
though. They hug and he drives away. I find myself a little jealous. I wish
someone was that good to me.
