When a Tomboyish Teenager Meets an Older Man Who Sets Her Ablaze I never saw myself as the type of girl who was pretty, a girl who turned heads and got boys attention.

Mr Lewis was very understanding of my situation and even offered to call the locksmith while I showered. He got me a fresh towel and a fresh bar of soap and everything. After I'd showered, I walked out bare-foot into Mr Lewis's living room, still troweling my hair dry. "The locksmith may be a few hours, Tracey. You're welcome to wait here." He said to me I thanked him kindly, and he smiled, pouring me a glass of ice tea. As I sat on Mr Lewis's couch, watching show strange television show, I couldn't help but notice his frequent glances towards me. …and then things took a turn
