Chapter 1
Seven
Well here goes nothing, as I sit and
stare out my car window looking at the vast campus that lies before me. Still
griping the steering wheel tightly, I realize I’m not moving. Nope, I’m
basically frozen in place with no intention of getting out of this car. I
wonder if I can reach Wi-Fi on my laptop and just do online courses and never
have to leave the safety of my car. Glancing in the mirror I take a deep breath
and slowly peel my hands from their resting stop. After 14 hours of driving
they are sore and stiff, almost looking like raptor claws, a great look and
first impression for my “new and improved” life. I reach over to the passenger
seat and to grab my purse, only to find somewhere in the last leg of the
journey it has spilled the entire contents of my life on the floor. Shit,
seriously why do I feel the need to have such a giant purse that allows me to
stuff that much crap into it? I rifle through the mess that is now my
floorboards and find my wallet and envelop that contains all the information
I’m going to need to start this chapter of my life. Alright let’s do this, as I grab the handle
and swing open my car door. “Hey watch it” I hear a voice say as I glance up
and catch their eyes. The scowl on their face suggests I about creamed them
with my door, wincing I manage to squeak out an “I’m sorry” as I quickly climb
out and shut it. Leaning up against the car, I tip my face to the sky thinking;
great first start Seven. I seriously think I should look into that WI-FI.
Whoever said college would be the
best years of your life obviously didn’t have to unload their car of all their
stuff alone. After finding the hall I would call home for the next year, I made
it back to my car parked of course in the opposite direction. A small sigh
escaped from my lips as I pop the hatch to the trunk, what was I thinking
packing all this junk. As I basically stalled the inevitable of the massive
unload I was about to partake in, my mind began to wander. Memories began to
flood back into my mind, things that I have buried so deeply in my soul, things
that I am trying to run away from. I only realize that I’m off in la-la land
when I feel the hot moisture from tears on my cheeks, and quickly wipe them
away with the back of my hands. Well here goes nothing I murmur to myself as I
grab a tub and some hanging clothes from the pile of never ending crap. Closing
the hatch I begin the daunting hike to my dorm, looking around and watching all
the families drop off their loved ones, helping them with their own massive
load of crap. Suck it up I thought, don’t sweat the small stuff, it’s going to
be fine. Wow, I sound like a stupid hallmark card, as I shake my head to rid me
of past thoughts. I reach the door of the enormous building and pull it open,
shock creeps over me at the amount of people milling about the lobby. Fear
starts to creep in as I quickly scan the room. It’s all in my head I say to
myself, they are not staring, take a deep breath and move forward. I opt to
take the stairs, as I’m only on the second floor and waiting in line for the
elevators is going to cause more anxiety then needed today. Reaching the door
to my shared room I don’t know if I should knock or just walk in. Standing
there like an idiot, I raise my hand to knock and the door swings open. “Oh hi”
a loud and gorgeous blonde blurts out, blocking my entrance from the room. “I’m
Tammy, and I’m betting your Seven!” she says with enthusiasm and almost a
bounce in her step. “Um yeah”, I managed to struggle out. I’m guessing I look
like a deer caught in the headlights as Tammy seems to be looking a little
worried that her roommate is weirdo. “Sorry, I’m totally in your way huh” as
she steps aside and motions to come in. I take that first step into the room
and slowly scan my surroundings. My face must have given me away because Tammy
starts to talk real fast. “I’m sorry is it too much? I’m always over doing
things and I just want our room to be perfect, and well you know started over
here, then that wall looked bare and well then I had to rearrange the
furniture, and you hate it huh?” I glance over at my roommate who is still
holding the door wide open and biting her lip in fear of what I was about to
say. “Oh no it’s fine, I take it that’s my bed” giving her a reassuring smile I
have come to master for situations like this.
The look of relief washes over Tammy’s face as she shuts the door. “Oh
good, I was completely worried that you would hate it, and in return hate me,
and then it would be a miserable living arrangement, and oh my gosh I’m
rambling huh?” As she stops just inches in front of me, twisting her hands
nervously in front of her. I quickly
take a step back and turn towards my bed in the corner, tossing the bin and the
clothes in a pile. “Don’t worry about it” I throw over my shoulder a smile and
act like I’m digging through the mess I created. I can feel the awkwardness in
the air as a tentative few moments pass with no other words spoken. Closing my
eyes I remember this is my chance for change, to be the person I always wanted to
be. So what do I do, plaster a smile on my face and turn around to bring that
new girl out.
“I was just about
to head over to the lodge and grab a bite to eat, wanna come with?” Tammy looks
a little relieved when she sees the smile I’ve managed to muster up. “I’ve got
so much to unload and of course I’m parked clear across campus, so maybe next
time” I say to her as I walk to the door. Just as I was to turn the knob and
walk out Tammy blurts out “I can help if you want?” shrugging her shoulders. Hesitating
at the door, I mull the offer over in my mind. Its only help and besides, I’m
going to be living with his chick better make nice now. Besides I’ve got so
much stuff and really don’t want to make five million trips across campus
alone. So what do I do, turn around and flash that winning smile of mine; “sure
I’d love help!” I swear she is going to see straight through my fake BS; but
nope, she gives me a smile and follows me out the door. The moment we step
outside she starts to ramble again, and I find myself letting my mind wander
once more. I catch snippets of information on her life; 1 brother, cheerleader,
single, loves to talk (yeah go figure), and I think she said she was rushing.
We get to my car and she smiles “Thank god you have a nice car, my parents
wouldn’t let me bring mine and I hate showing up to parties in a junker, wow
that sounded shallow, I swear I’m not that shallow, it’s just that I like nice
things, and hot girls should always……………….oh wow I’m just gonna shut up now,”
as she bites her lip again. I laugh as I walk to the back and hit the latch
button. Yes my car was nice; White 2012 Honda accord, however the circumstance
behind owning it makes the car look ugly to me. “Your parents must really love
you for having this nice of a car” as she grabs more clothes and a laundry
hamper. “Something like that” as I reach for another tub and a duffle bag full
of shoes. At this rate two or three more trips and we should have it all, and
then maybe I can get some peace from her incessant talking.
I was down to my
final box of crap when Tammy comes skidding threw the door. “You will never
believe who is throwing a party tonight!” I contemplate giving her a smartass
answer as I place the last picture frame on my desk, however go with a
questioning look and a “who?” “Phi Kappa Tau!” She
squeals, jumping up and down like a fricken pre-teen at a Bieber concert. “You
have to come with me, I mean please come with me, pretty pretty pretty please”,
as she grabs my arm and gives it a shake. “I don’t know” ripping my arm from
her clutches. I flop down on to my freshly made bed and look at my roommate
standing there like a kid on Christmas complete with the twinkle in her eye.
She really is pretty, I’m betting 5’8, long blonde hair, southern belle style,
and truly seems like a nice person. Tammy immediately walks over to my side of
the closet and starts to fling clothes in every direction. “Wait, I just put
everything away” as I start to gather the ever growing pile of material on the
floor. “Ah ha, I bet this is amazing on you!” Tammy twirls around and I’m
almost afraid to look at what she is holding. I slowly glance up with an arm
full of clothes and wince. It was that dress, you know the dress one can’t seem
to ever get rid of, yet never want to wear again. The dress that holds so many
memories that always resurfaces no matter how far down you push that emotion?
Crap, yep it’s that dress. As I stand
there basically dumbstruck and mouth open, Tammy is already digging for shoes.
“This is going to be the hottest back to school party tonight, and I can’t fly
solo, AND we are going to be best
friends so basically that requires you to go, and TA-DA look I’ve already got
your outfit ready” as she comes up holding that dress and a pair of red strappy
heals. Why can’t I just get rid of that dress!
How I let Tammy talk me into to this I’ll never
know, however I’m starting to realize that my decision to tag along was a dumb
one. This stupid dress keeps riding up on my things, and I swear my hands are
going to be fixed at its hem tonight, pulling it down over and over again. I
can’t believe I’m even back in this dress, it’s been almost a year since that
night and this stupid dress still fits like a glove. A wave of emotion crept
over me as I slipped it on earlier this evening, but I managed to push it down,
and now is not the time for it to come back up. I glance up at the tall two
story brick building, wondering what I got myself into. I was just about to
turn around when Tammy linked my arms and pulled me up the walkway. “Tonight is
about networking, finding the hottest guys at this party, and taking numbers.
But never leaving with them, gotta leave them wanting more!” I glance over at
Tammy and she has got a wicked smile plastered across her face, somehow I know
tonight is going to be trouble. We reach the steps and you can hear the music
at full blast inside the house, some sort of new aged pop crap. I grimace at
the thought of listening to this all night, letting my mind wander back to cool
evenings around the bonfire with a little Cash in the background. However that
memory was quickly removed from my mind when an idiot pushes past Tammy and I
and barely makes it down the steps before losing his dinner all over the grass.
“This party is going to be amazing! We can’t lose each other okay?” as Tammy
slips our linking arms apart and grabs my hand to walk in the front door. The door is already open and the room is
packed, and I’m talking Cowboys playing the Steelers on a Monday night bar
packed. Tammy manages to squeeze past a few people and I’m almost thankful that
we are holding hands now, cause there would be no way I could manage to get
anywhere in this crowd. I have to remind myself to keep looking up, as truly I
find the floor much more interesting than saying excuse me or oops sorry to
everyone we bump into as Tammy forges forward to the unknown.
Tammy is almost
pulling my shoulder out of its socket when she gives me a quick jerk. I take my
eyes off the floor and glance up “Keg straight ahead!” she shouts. “Aye matey”
as I roll my eyes still being drug across the room that I’m thinking is a
formal dining area? “Okay remember the rules Lauren; no taking drinks from
anyone other than each other, no losing track of each other, and finally find a
hot piece of ass but no bring him home” as she hands me a plastic cup and
smiles like a Cheshire cat. The coldness of the liquid in the cup shocks my
senses; it’s been awhile since I’ve had a drink. Well actually it’s been 11
months and 14 days since that night, not like I’m counting or anything. As I
stare at the beer in my hand I start to panic, closing my eyes I try to
mentally talk myself down from the ledge my mind feels like its standing on. I
can do this, no one knows, I’m going to have fun. Deep breathe in and slowly
exhale is what my therapist always told me to do, however that didn’t seem like
a good idea for the time being. No, let’s just slam this beer down see if it
takes the edge off. “Holy shit girl that was totally hot” Tammy exclaims as I
sit the plastic cup down on the counter. I just shrug my shoulders “What can I
say; it felt like the right thing to do”. Tammy throws her head back and laughs
“Let’s go dance” as she grabs my hand and starts pulling me to the make shift
dance floor.
Stone
Why I come to these parties
I can never tell ya, oh wait its required for my frat. The frat that I didn’t
want to join however is basically forced down my throat since I’m a legacy.
Guess I better find the damn keg and get this evening over with as I wander
down the hall to find the beer. “Hey Stone” a blonde throws herself on me as I
walk by. Glancing over at the chick I have no clue who she is, but at least she
is hot. “It’s been a while hot stuff, wanna head upstairs” she asks while
throwing her hands up around my neck. Now any other night I would have said
sure, however I was already in a piss poor mood for being at this party when
all I wanted to do was sit on my ass in my lonely apartment and drown my
sorrows away alone. I pull the drunken girls arms off my neck and steady her on
her feet, “not tonight darling”. I turn and walk away bound to find a drink and
try to forget I’m stuck here. “Whatever Stone, don’t call me ever again” the
blonde shouts out to me. I smile and shake my head, I never call them anyways.
I finally find the keg in the stupidest spot the pledges could
have put it and head out to the back yard to think. I catch girls basically eye
fucking me as I walk out of the house, however have no intention of stopping
and talking with any of them. Stepping out on the patio I notice for once the
backyard is somewhat clean, and actually a decent place to be considering this
house belongs to bunch of guys who can’t even pick up their own socks from the
floor. I wonder if they made the pledges do some yard work or if our “president”
had his daddy hire someone. Yeah I bet it was later thought, stupid fucker. I
spot a chair not being used and pull it over to a corner of the yard that
currently has no drunken visitors. Last thing I need is another chick to come
and try to catch my attention with her boobs or a pledge asking if he can do
anything for me. I throw the hood of my sweatshirt over my head and slouch down
in the chair, tipping the beer back slowly. Whoever bought the keg should have
got better beer, this shit is gross as I swirl the brown liquid in the cup.
This is disgusting as I throw the cup behind me, the pledge can clean that shit
up later.
I close my eyes
for only a second and my chair is tipping back. “What the fuck” as I smash into
the grass. “What up you lonely ass wipe” says a voice standing over me. “You
dumbass, help me up” as I reach over to my loser of a best friend. Hunter grabs
my hand and pulls me to my feet as I immediately take a swing at his shoulder.
“Ouch, what the hell man” as he rubs his arm wincing in pain. “I prefer to stay
upright jackass, you totally deserve that” as I try to dust off the crap on the
back of my hoodie. “Why aren’t you in there hitting up all the fine back to
school tail” as he nods to the back sliding door. “Cause I just wanted to make
my appearance, have a couple drinks, and get home” in reality I just wanted to
get the hell out of there now, but I did the brotherly thing and show up.
“Whatever man, this party is hot and there is so much fresh meat out there, I
can’t even begin to know where to start!” Hunter tosses over his shoulder
walking away. Even my socially
challenged best friend doesn’t want to hang out with my sorry ass tonight, and
I know he isn’t going to get any women to believe his lines. I glance at the
deck that is starting to fill up with people escaping the heat inside; and
figure what the hell I’ll go find the presidents stash of whiskey, at least if
I’m gonna drink it might as well it be the good stuff.
I make my way
back inside and head to the stairs, knowing for damn sure the good stuff is
going to be hidden in douche bags room. I reach the door I was looking for and
pause for a second. I can hear noises coming from the other side of the door,
and for a second think I recognize the voices. Well wouldn’t that be funny
interrupting him in mid freak, hopefully making the dumb chick that is hooking
up with him panic and leave. I turn the knob and throw the door open, and it
hits me like a ton of bricks. “What the hell Tammy!” I stride over to the bed
and rip the stupid mother fucker off my sister. Tossing him to the floor I
glance back at my sister. She is sitting on her knees in the middle of the bed,
thankfully still clothed and seeing red. “What the hell Stone” she shrieks. I
glance down at Preston sitting in shock on the floor and bend down to grab his
shirt. “Hey man, cool down, I didn’t know, no harm no foul” he spits out of his
mouth trying to twist his way out of my grasp. “Stay the fuck away from my
sister I’m serious”, as I toss him to his bed. “Seriously Stone, I didn’t know
it was your sister, I’m your brother man you gotta believe me” Preston rambles.
For being our chapter president and having as much money as he does he sure
seems like a whiny little bitch when he is backed into a corner. I shake my head
to try and clear the thoughts of pounding his ugly face in, but turn and look
at Tammy still on the bed. “Tammy, get the fuck off of the bed and into my
truck” as I grab her wrist and yank her to the door. “Knock it off Stone, I’m
18 now and you can’t control me!” “To hell I can’t” as I grab her and throw the
little twit over my shoulders and stomp down the stairs. I hear I’m sorry being
yelled from the room as I pound down the stairs however clearly could care
less. Right now I needed to get my little sister back to her dorm and away from
all the horny frat brothers lurking around.
“Put me down you
Neanderthal” as she pounds her fists on my back. I just laugh and walk down the
steps to my truck. “Seriously put me down, I can’t believe you did that!” her
legs are now kicking over my shoulders so I hold on tighter. I reach my truck
and set her down to unlock the passenger door. She looks pissed, face the color
of a baboons ass and her hair is going in every direction kinds like medusa. I
snicker at the sight of her and she shoves me into my truck. “You think this is
funny asshole? I am so embarrassed by you!” and she turns to walk back to the
house. “Oh hell you’re not going back in there” as I reach out to grab her arm.
“I’ve gotta go find my roommate, I bet she is having fun with some guy in there
and not being mortified by older brothers who can’t seem to stay out of my
business.” “You’re not going in there alone, I know a majority of the guys are
on the prowl for freshman and I’m keeping you far away as possible from them”
as I match her step walking back up the walkway.
“Yo Stone who is
that fine honey you walked in with” Hunter questions as he walks over from the
beer pong table. I throw a disgusted look to him “My sister dumbass” and glance
around looking for that tall blonde head of hers. “Tammy? Oh Shit man when did
she grown up” he was now to glancing around trying to find the direction she
went. I start to get irritated at the amount of people in the house, I’ve just
gotta find my sister so I can get the hell out of here. “If you see her tell
her to head out to the truck and text me” as I try and make my way in the
crowd, only to get pawed at by drunken women as I walk by. “Can do bro, can
do!” Hunter yells over the music and laughter. I turn the corner to the kitchen
and run smack into my sister. “Can you embarrass me anymore” she glares into my
eyes. I almost start to say yes, but realize that I value my nuts and I know
that’s the first body part she would go for. Instead I glare right back “find
your roommate yet?” “No, but I texted her to meet me outside” I grab her arm
and start pulling her to the front door. “You need to let up, I can get there
by myself you know” she yells as we walk out the door and down the steps. “Well
maybe if you weren’t trying to get naked with an asshole upstairs I wouldn’t
feel the need to babysit you” as I drop her arm and cross mine against my
chest. “Where is this roommate of yours” I ask impatiently. Tammy glances up at the steps “there” and
smiles. I look over to where she was facing; holy shit.
Seven
I can feel
the vibration of my phone in my purse, but am too lazy to grab it. Besides this
beer has captured my attention, and I’m betting its Tammy telling me about the
hot guy she wandered off with. Wait what rule did she break by leaving me alone
down here? I toss the last of the beer back and push myself off the wall I’ve
been occupying for whoever knows how long for. Figuring I might as well find
the keg again, I decide to go for one more round of the cold brown liquid when
my phone goes off for the 20th time tonight. Digging through my Mary
Poppins bag I finally find the culprit and realize I’ve got like 5 million
texts. Okay maybe only really like 5 but shit it feels like she is blowing up
my phone tonight. “Well freak on a leash, she wants to head home” I mutter to
myself as I stash the phone and rack my brain to figure out which way was the
door. I guess another drink isn’t in my future tonight.
I
finally break free of the “hey babies” and the “Whatcha doing hot stuff” and
find myself walking down the steps looking around for my roommate who I’m
betting is drunk at this point. It’s a good thing we are only a few blocks from
the dorm, I really don’t want to carry her ass that far down the road. Glancing
over to the sidewalk I stop dead in my tracks. Standing over by my rather
pissed off looking roommate was the most delicious looking guy my eyes have
ever looked upon. I’m pretty sure my mouth is hanging open and I could possibly
be drooling, but I can’t help it. This man was gorgeous, tall dark and handsome
would be like his evil stepbrothers. He has to be at least over 6 ft. and his body
must love the inside of a gym and hopefully other activities since my mind is
now in the company of sewer rats. Glancing down his body I notice the full
sleeves down both arms, and I’m hoping those are not the only body parts
covered in ink. His style well let’s just say if I could order a side dish of
him, hell what was I thinking, this man is a whole meal. I’m really hoping this
isn’t the guy my roommate hooked up with, because I’m sure the look of lust of
my face totally gave me away and Tammy will hate me forever.
“Seven
lets go, I’m over this party” Tammy says with a scowl and starts to head in the
direction of our dorm. I hear a “Hell no, get in the truck T” and my head snaps
over to the walking sex on a stick, who was reaching out and grabbing the arm
of my roommate. “Seriously we can walk, I’m done talking to you, goodbye Stone”
she says with a hint of hatred in her voice. I manage to get my feet to move
after my frozen daze and start to walk over to Tammy when she is picked up and
thrown into the open door of the truck. A moment of panic sinks in when he
turns to look at me. My mind starts to race, is she being kidnapped, should I scream?
He must have sensed by absolute terror stricken moment because a smirk crept
over his face. “I’m her brother Stone, can you get into the truck on your own,
or should I manhandle you too?” Maybe it was the cocky look on his face, or
perhaps it was Tammy in the passenger seat looking about 15 different shades of
red that snapped me out of my staring stupor, but somehow I managed to squeak
out “Yeah sure”.
That
smirk could cause me to drop my panties in a heartbeat. I’ve never had this
feeling inside me before, the need to get closer to him, figure him out, get
naked and do naughty things with him. Not even before the accident did my body
react this way, I’m as unsure of myself as it is, and this feeling inside is
not helping the situation get any easier. I almost have to jump to get into the
truck, holy shit I thought to myself; this thing is a beast. My eyes follow him
around the front of the truck and continue to watch him as he opens the
driver’s door, shaking his head like he was trying to rid the thoughts in his
mind. I realize I’m starring again and try to focus my attention out the
window; something out there has got to be more interesting than him. “Seven,
this asshole is my brother Stone. Thanks to him I will not be having any fun at
fraternity parties this year” Tammy says with a scowl and a glare on her face. If
looks could kill I’m sure I would be dead just from the aftermath directed at
her brother. “You make me seem like I’m the bad guy when you were upstairs
trying to bump uglies on your first night here, seriously you’ve got one
demented view on who is the asshole” Stone says without taking his eyes off the
road. I want him to look over at me, looking into those blue eyes of his is
hits some nerve inside of me, something I want to feel again. What am I doing,
closing my eyes and resting my head against the seat I’ve gotta remember to
stick to the plan, and this boy could be the complete unraveling of me.
The
short ride back to our dorm remains quiet, as I glance at my roommate who is
still fuming. He puts the truck into park, and I turn to open the door. “Thanks
for the ride home”, I throw over my shoulder and jump down. “Nice to meet you Seven,
hopefully next time we meet is on better terms” he says with a smile that
almost made me melt on the sidewalk. “Please, don’t act like you’re a
gentleman, all you do is break hearts and toss the baggage. You my brother are
the men mothers warn us about” Tammy says while climbing out and slamming the
door. I hear a laugh and Stone throws the truck into gear, flying out the
parking lot like a bat out of hell. “I’m never gonna live this down” Tammy says
while walking up to the doors to slide her key card in. I stay silent as I
follow inside behind her, trying to push the thoughts of her brother far out of
my mind as possible.
We
reach our door without another word to each other. Once again it’s that awkward
feeling hanging in the air, I’ve never been one good with words so it’s just
easier to let the moment pass. I walk over to my closet and toss my shoes into
the unorganized pile that Tammy left earlier this evening. “My brother is such
a jerk” I hear from her side of the room. I turn around and smile at Tammy
sitting on her bed, “could be worse right?” as I try and fake some empathy for
the situation. If she only knew that this smile was for the attraction I felt
for her brother, I’m betting she’d throw her heel at me. I grab some clothes
out of my dresser and take off “the dress” and toss it in the hamper. Maybe
I’ll just never wash it, this way I never have to wear it again. Sighing I try to remind myself it’s just a
dress, just a stupid little black dress. I quickly throw on my shorts and shirt
and crawl into bed; tomorrow I was going to familiarize myself with the campus
before classes start on Monday. “Do you have any siblings Seven”, “Nope it’s
just me” I reply in the darkness. “You’re lucky, I wish I didn’t” Tammy
exclaims as she turns over in bed to face the wall. I was basically alone now,
no siblings, no family, and no friends. I blink back the tears I refuse to shed
and stare at the ceiling, waiting for the darkness with take me away.
Stone
I’ve never been one to lust over a
women, hell a one night stand was all I was capable of doing. Get them in and
out and never make any promises, less mess and no heartbreak. But there was
something about that girl walking down the steps that made me think twice on my
life’s choices. Tonight when she walked closer I’m sure the little me came to
full attention because she was stunning, wait more than stunning, she was life
altering beautiful. I started to panic when I realized she was walking over to
Ol’ Red, crap this must be Tammy’s roommate. When her eyes reached mine, and
the color green seemed to have drilled a hole straight through me. I feel like
I’m staring, hell I don’t give a shit if I am. The way she walked over to me
has got me mesmerized, and there has got to be a way to break this infatuation.
I can vaguely hear my sister open her rather large trap and start to walk away,
this was the moment I snap out of my drunken haze and throw the little worm
into Ol’ Red this giving me a little time to gather the small amount of sanity
I have left.
I see the look on her face; I’m
betting she does not realize I’m the better Hastings in the family, that yes
little blonde one over here is not the only one on campus sharing these amazing
genetics I’ve been blessed with. “I’m
her brother Stone; can you get into the truck on your own, or should I
manhandle you too?” I say with a grin that can drop panties in an instance. I
need to get this girl home and out of my head, there is no reason to screw up
the game I’ve got going now with this girl. My life works so well for me now. I
mention about getting into Ol’ Red and start to walk around to climb into the
driver’s seat when I hear it. It was so soft and meek, I almost asked her to
say it again. How can someone so small with such a little voice say “yeah” and
have the world I’ve created and molded this entire 4 years of college come
crashing down?
I try and shake the thought of her
out of my head; I need clear thoughts in order to maintain the cool demur I
have portrayed for myself. But there is
something about her that I can’t shake. The way she walked over to the truck,
her small frame made me want to run over and pick her up, go all caveman style
and possessive. She couldn’t be more than 5 foot, but good lord that dress made
her legs look a mile long and had all my body parts paying attention as she
swayed over to the truck. The look in
her eyes as I thrown Tammy into the truck, one of fear yet the spark of heat
and desire shown through, I’m gonna have to keep my distance with this one. She
is not one that’s going in the book of one night stands. Hell I’m going to
avoid this girl; wait no women, like the plague. I close my eyes and turn the
key, Ol’ Red roars to life and I close my eyes to try and gain a moment of
clarity again for the millionth time since she walked into my life.
As I banter back and
forth with my baby sister I try and not look over at her, but it’s hard not to.
I learn her name is Seven, which makes my mind swirl. I watch her close her
eyes and lay her head back on the seat. And can’t help but notice how great she
looks in my truck; all small and fragile in this big piece of metal, almost
like she was meant to sit there forever. Fuck man pull it together this is not
happening now; I do not do relationships I silently remind myself. We reach the dorms and the girls climb out;
oh shit what do I say to her? I’ve never been this much of a lunatic when it
comes to women, why was I a mess now? “Thanks for the ride home” the small
voice says again, which now has my dick standing at full attention again. I
grip the steering wheel tighter with both hands, afraid that my body would
betray my mind and do something stupid like reach for her hand or some other
body part. “Nice to meet you Seven, hopefully next time we meet is on better
terms” I manage to say with a smile, I swear this women can read me like a
book. I’ve gotta get out of here and take a cold shower, fuck it I need an ice
bath as I try and shake the naughty things I want to do to her out of my mind.
As soon as the door slams, I throw Ol’ Red in gear and test the gauges on my
precious truck. Determined to put as much distance between Seven and myself as
possible.
