Some people call it puppy love,
But I know the truth.
Even though we were kids, too young to know better,
I knew.
I was absolutely head-over-heels in love with Cody Jamison.
There wasn’t a moment in my life that he wasn’t a part of.
There wasn’t a part of me that didn’t belong to him.
And just as I was about to tell him…
He left.
Left town.
Left me.
Shattering my heart into pieces.
But now, he’s back.
Just like that.
But, we’re no longer those bright-eyed little kids we once were.
He just re-emerged,
Claiming a spot as the lead guitarist in my brother’s band,
As if nothing ever changed.
But it did.
Everything's different now.
And I won't let this asshole strum his way back in,
Reclaiming my heart,
Not without an explanation.
He’s going to have to work for it,
For me.
Cody Jamison can’t have me,
“Oh my God, Shan, quit being a wuss!”
“I can't, it's too high!” I yelled down at my brother, who was safe on the ground. I don’t know why I let him talk me in to doing stupid things like this.
“C’mon, Shanny, just put your foot in the holes and jump when you get to the last one,” CJ egged on.
Anytime he was around and asked me to do something, the fear inside of me went away. “Okay.”
One.
Two.
Three.
“Ouch!”
“Holy crap, are you all right?” My brother asked, as the sky spun behind his and CJ’s heads.
“My head hurts really bad.”
“Dang, I’ll go and get Mom. Can you stay with her, CJ?” He nodded his head, and then helped me sit up. He kept looking at me funny with his eyes; eyes that were the color of chocolate.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“I was looking at the small dots across your face. What are they?”
I placed my hands over my face, and rubbed my cheeks, wishing they would come off. “My mommy calls them ‘freckles’ and I hate them.”
“Why?”
"Because people are always teasing me about them. Mom said I got them from being in the sun too much."
"So let's call them sun kisses! The sun loved your face so much, it left little kisses behind."
I giggled so hard, that it made my head hurt more. CJ was almost thirteen, like my older brother, but he made me feel fuzzy inside.
Review by Gia:
Jamison was a good read with some surprises. The story starts out in the past, I really liked that part. We get to see Shannon, Ambrose (Dean), and Cody (CJ) as kids. Shannon and Ambrose are brother and sister. CJ is friends with Ambrose but he also has a connection with Shannon. CJ has to move quickly and doesn't keep in touch with his friends. Eleven years later CJ shows up back in town and joins Ambrose's band. I loved that Ambrose just took CJ back as his best friend with no tough questions asked. It really showed how deep their friendship went. Shannon on the other hand doesn't welcome CJ back as easy as her brother did.
CJ is sexy and a little bit of a ladies man. His band is starting to get noticed and he's becoming a big rock star. I didn't always like what CJ did, at times he had me frustrated with his actions. He has some surprising secrets. Shannon has always had a crush on CJ. CJ puts her through a roller coaster of emotions.
It's a good read that has some twists and surprising turns. I do hope we get more of these characters.
