“I see you started without me.”
“I did, I'm sorry. I'm sure that if you start now, you can catch up to me rather quickly.”
I told him that I was okay with that. It was never good when I started drinking, and this did not seem like the time to do so. This seemed like the time that I should be as clear headed as possible. Especially when he was looking at me that way. I could still remember what he told me on the phone, how he sounded. That look of lust was back in his eyes, and it was rather hard to look at him when he was acting this way. He acted like he wanted to come across the limo and attack me. I knew that he wouldn't, but then again, I never did quite know what he was going to do next. Dennis was always surprising me with his sweetness, as well as his mischievous side.
“Are you really going to stay over there all night?”
“I think it's safer over here. You have something naughty on your mind.”
“Is it that obvious?”
“Yes, it is.”
He waved me off and told me that I didn't know what I was talking about. I did, though. I could see it in his eyes and the feeling in the air around me. It was nothing but desire, and I knew that it wasn't going to turn out well. If I didn't get off this track, I don't know how long I was going to be able to tell myself that it was impossible.
“It's nothing like that. I mean, I do think about you quite a bit. Right now, it’s completely clean thoughts.”
“Why do I find that hard to believe?”
“Because you're a bit of a cynic, Kimberly. And you're a little bit sarcastic. I don't know why I find it so pleasant about you.”
“I like to do my part. It is probably because everybody else kisses your ass. It must get old, I suppose, though I think I could suffer through.”
“You're probably righter than I care to admit. It is easier to deal with everybody because they're always going with everything I say.”
“That's why you keep your reputation up.”
“No, that's not it. It does get tiring. I do get sick of hearing what I want to hear because I don't even know if it's true. That's why I like talking to you, Kimberly. I know that you're going to tell me the truth, no matter what.”
That wasn't exactly true, but I wasn't going to mesh words with him. Because then, he would want to know what I was keeping from him, and I definitely did not want to get into that conversation. He didn't need to know that I was just as turned on when he found me naked in the locker room as he had been. It certainly wouldn't have done any good for me to have explained any of it, but I had thought about the two of us being together. None of that would have done any of us any good. It would have only complicated everything, making it even worse.
“What is that going to do?”
“It does a lot. Trust me, Kimberly, I don't know what I'd do without you. You feel like the only real thing in my life.”
He said stuff like that, and I didn't know how much I was supposed to read into it. Sometimes, I swear the words he said were just too perfect and they were hard to believe. I think this was one of those times. It wasn’t a normal compliment that remarked on my beauty or some other physical part of me that I had no control over. It was always so much better to get the right kind of compliment, the ones that had to do with who I was as a person.
He handed me a drink and told me that I shouldn't leave him the only one drinking. At first, I wanted to just remind him that he could, of course, stop drinking and then it wouldn’t be a problem, but instead, I took it and took a little sip. I wasn’t much into drinking and I didn't know much about any of it, but tonight I think I was going to need one of the more obvious upsides to alcohol. I needed to calm down and I wasn’t going to be able to, without a little bit of liquid courage to help me along the way.
