“I want to take you a place I thought you might like. It will keep your mind of other things.”
He means it will help me get my mind off mourning my parents. Just thinking about them right now makes my chest squeeze tight and my throat close up.
For the past month, Kalum has changed. He has acted like more like a good friend than an enemy. He takes me to school and after school I wait for him in the library until he is finished with practice.
He doesn’t taunt me anymore and the nights that I cry missing my parents, he holds me. He is careful when he comes in my room and always locks the door. I cry on his shoulder and he soothes me and it’s the greatest feeling in the world to be held in his arms all night.
He tells me he doesn’t know what it feels like to lose someone but he could imagine if he did. At night, it is like we are in a bubble he has created. A shield against the outside world that can’t be penetrated.
Once he sees I packed a light bag, he walks down the hallway and I follow. Once we are outside my eyes light up.
“Is it yours?” I point to the white jeep.
“I rented it.”
Why would he rent a Jeep? He opens the door and he already as the top down. It has a soft top that can be opened electrically indicating it’s a newer model than the one I was interested in purchasing from Lane.
My thoughts briefly think of Lane and the night at the fair but it quickly leaves my thoughts when Kalum slides in the driver's side after placing a bookbag in the back. My eyes trail over his football teach shirt with his school logo and his number sixty-eight on the lower left part near the hem.
He is wearing light grey shorts showing his muscular legs. My eyes trail over his large hand and muscled forearms. Even his is sports gear, Kalum is gorgeous. Girls give him doe eyes in the hallways and some look like Bambi when they stare.
I try to play it off but he has the same effect on me and what he did to me with his tongue between my thighs makes my cheeks heat. He gave me the most intense orgasm I have ever had. My fingers could only do so much and the man has a wicked tongue.
He places the car in gear and we head out toward the open road. The wind beginning to pick up as the car increases in speed and the memory of what my mom said to me about her time in college with her favorite Jeep brings a smile to my face. To experience something similar my mom did, forges the memory together bringing me closer to her in re-enacting a memory she shared with me.
“Do you like it?” Kalum asks, raising his voice over the wind.
My head turns and the huge grin on my face has him smiling.
“I love it!”
On the way to wherever he is taking me as a surprise, I tell him about my mom and the Jeep she had in college she had to sell when she fell pregnant with me. I also tell him about the Jeep Lane Turner had for sell at his shop that I couldn’t afford.
“So I got it right?”
“With what?” I answer.
“Renting the Jeep and taking you on an adventure.”
“Yes. This is the most fun I‘ve had since it happened.”
He knows I mean the accident involving the death of my parents. Why I feel like telling him this, I have no idea. I guess it's because he keeps silent about me crying at night and the fact that he is always there holding me until I fall asleep waking up in his arms. He hasn’t tried to touch me since that morning he ate me out on his bed.
He has respected the fact that I’m not like the girls he is used to that have casual sex. He knows that I see sex as an intimate act that needs to be with the right person. It has to feel right. I feel that person could be Kalum but I’m not sure. It’s to early to tell right now.
This change in him is refreshing and it means a lot to me that he has been there for me at night when I’m at my lowest when he could have stayed acting like he did when we first met.
We arrive to a state park that has a lake that you are able to swim with white sand like if you are at the beach.
“This is beautiful, Kalum.” I breath.
It really is. The sun is out and the Jeep rolls over the gravel with ease. There are very few people since it is still early September. The Summer heat is still in the air heating up the day.
“Ready for a swim?” He asks.
He can see that I’m excited by the grin I’m sporting. I smooth my wind blown hair and I feel refreshed and exhilarated that I get to go for a swim at the beautiful lake looking like a crystal as the sun is gleaming off the surface. The lake is enormous.
In the distance, you can see there are small boats that are pulling a wake board. I hop out of the Jeep and there are restrooms and I head inside and change into my modest bikini.
