Romance!! Episode 6

Darin glanced at the Sheryl and a smile grew on his face. He loved this part of the school mornings.

And he was going to miss these moments but just knew there would be thousands of beautiful ones with her in his future.

The passenger door creaked open while Sheryl got in the Bel-Air. After slamming the creaky passenger door shut, she immediately slid her butt down the bench seat and sat next to Darin. She him a light kiss on his lips then situated herself in the seat. Her left leg brushed up against his right leg. He ever so loved that feeling.

He put his Bel-Air in drive and drove off north down Chestnut.
Sheryl reached over and turned on the radio.

“And for the last bit of news, the Soviet Union launched their Mar 3 unmanned space probe today. On May nineteenth, they launched their Mars 2 probe. Both probes will attempt to make a soft landing on Mars. And now it’s time for some more rock and roll,” the DJ said from the radio.

Darin turned his Bel-Air right on Montvale Avenue and headed east.
“Okay, now let me take you back about five years for one of my favorite songs,” said the WFIL DJ on the radio.
The Here, There, and Everywhere song by The Beatles started to play on the radio.

Sheryl was all smiles when the song started. “This is a great way to start the morning,” she said. “I can’t believe it never made it in the top one hundred back in sixty-six,” she said then paused. “Changing my life with a wave of her hand,” she sang out along with Paul McCartney.

Darin smiled, as he never got tired of hearing Sheryl sing that song with her beautiful voice.
Sheryl stopped singing and glanced over at Darin. “Remember that day we first met?” she said and smiled. Darin glanced over at her and smiled remembering that day.

Old 1966 memories flashback… It was Saturday afternoon on August 20th.
Darin was twelve years old and went off to Howie’s Record Store in downtown Burkeville. He had mowed some of the neighbor yards for extra cash and couldn’t wait to buy a new album.

Darin went to the Rock and Roll section and immediately found the Beatles area. He wasn’t alone at that spot. Twelve year old Sheryl Hanson also arrived there to buy a record with her allowance money.

Darin and Sheryl both grabbed the last Beatles Revolver album available. She grabbed the top left corner while Darin grabbed the top right corner. They both stared at each other for a few seconds wondering who would release their hand. They barely knew each other even though they were both in the same grade in school.

For a few seconds, it looked like it was going to be a tug of war for that album. But Sheryl’s big soft brown eyes suddenly captivated Darin, so he acted like a gentleman.
