“Why did you leave me?” My voice trembles as I ask the question the plagues me.
The smile on his face fades, replaced by sadness. “I didn’t have a choice, Jess. It was time for me to go.” He pauses before continuing, “In time I’ll answer more questions, but for now you probably need to home before your father reports you missing.”
I glance at my phone screen as it lights up, four 4:24 am. Holy shit, I am in trouble.
I spring up and David is right by my side. Brazenly, he cups my face in his hands, and lifts it to stare into my eyes. “I hope I didn’t frighten you. I’m here for you and would like to see you again, if that’s okay?”
“Okay,” I mumble, anything to get out of here. This is too much to take in and my brain is working overtime to decipher it.
In a surprise move, he leans in and kisses me. A long press that leaves me reeling like someone smacked me in the back of the legs. Weak and stimulated at the same time. He releases his hold with a smug look. Boy, I hope he can’t read my body language now. The last thing I need is him thinking he has any control over me.
He takes my hand and leads me to the front door. On the way there I mentally memorize the areas of the house we pass through. When we reach the foyer, he draws me into his arms and kisses me again then whispers, “Until we meet again, Mi Amor.”
The stupid in me blurts out, “When will that be?” Wow, how desperate I’ve become.
He grins, “I’ll call you tomorrow so we can plan something.”
On that note, I choose to leave without another word. Mostly out of fear of making a bigger fool of myself. But as I back out of the driveway, the familiarity of the area catches my attention. When I reach the stop sign it dawns on me—I’m in my own neighborhood. This is way too eerie. How long has he been watching me? This feels more and more like a ten o’clock news story in the making.
His house is only three blocks from mine. What really sucks is that I can’t share this with anyone and what is even sadder is that I have no one to talk to even if I wanted to. I’ve alienated any potential friends I could’ve had by holding them at arms length. The need to find out more, where he’s been, what he knows about me, is heavy even though I’m a little freaked out by this whole situation.
When I walk inside, Dash and Vi ran up to me which means my parents waited up. Oh, this is so not gonna go well.
My mother storms over. “Where in the hell have you been? Do you know how worried your father and I were? We’ve been up all night.” Oh, she did not just go there acting like she cares.
All this coming from the woman who can’t hug me or tell me she loves me. She doesn’t care about anyone but herself. As my lips form the words our eyes meet, my thoughts must have been conveyed by my facial expression because she backs down and leaves the room. Score one for body language.
The smirk on my face is quickly schooled as my father approaches. The concern written on his nearly has me in tears. “Jess, honey, we were worried. Are you okay?”
“Yes, Dad, I’m fine. I’m so sorry, I went to the movies with my friends and then we went to Denny’s and started talking and I lost track of time.” Fuck, I hate lying to him. But if he knows I was with a boy he would flip out. Some things are better left unsaid no matter how much it hurts to keep them inside.
He hugs me then holds me at arm’s length as he scolds me. “I love you, Jess, but do not do this again.”
“I love you, too, Dad, I’m sorry. I promise to check in if I run late again.” That seems to be the answer he’s looking for as he releases me and goes upstairs. The dogs and I are right behind him. After a quick shower, I hit the bed and crash land into the most risqué dream I’ve ever had.
We are in a hotel room, David and I, naked. He’s sitting on a chair and I’m standing in front of him straddling his legs. He spreads his thighs, forcing mine farther apart. I hover above him and as I bend over, my long hair frames our faces. My taut nipples are right where I want them to be—in his face. He kneads my breasts, sucking each nipple in turn. He releases them and grabs my ass, grinding it against his crotch. His lips find mine as he pulls back slightly, each breathing the other’s breath. He slides his hand between my thighs, feeling how wet he’s made me. I throw my head back and moan as he slides his fingers inside.
As we kiss, his thumb massages my clit and I begin riding his hand, but he forces me to hold still as he continues to finger me. My breathing accelerates as I near the edge. His tongue wildly fucks my mouth as he plunges deeper and deeper, penetrating me from both ends as I come undone.
Chapter Five
Jess
Thank the scheduling gods I’m off today. Last night’s—or more like this morning’s nocturnal emission left me sated, and confused. It’s late afternoon by the time I emerge from my room and head straight to the kitchen for much needed sustenance when I spot a note on the table from my dad telling me they’re running errands and basically to feed myself. “That’s nothing new,” I mumble aloud as I ball it up and throw it away.
The first thing I do as I sit down to eat is turn on the computer and my thoughts gravitate toward David. I know it’s in my best interest to stay away from him, but it’s like I can’t help myself. Is there such a thing as soulmates, one true love? His words replay, as I seek validity in his declarations. I know I have to see him. I have to find out more.
My cell phone rings and the screen reads David Cordova. How in the hell did his name and number get into my contact list?
“Hello?” I ask, wondering who’s really on the line.
“Hi, Jess, it’s David,” says his familiar voice.
“Um ya, that’s what the screen on my phone shows. How did you get my cell number and manage to put your number in my cell?” I ask.
He clears his throat. “Um, I added myself while you were sleeping. I hope that’s okay?”
“Little too late to ask now, don’t ya think?” Well, that came out shittier than I meant it to. “Sorry, I just got up. Still not fully awake,” though I wonder what other liberties he took while I was out cold.
