Him Part 2

Jennifer nearly caused a wreck trying to hail a taxing, as I stood timidly on the curb. My eyes couldn’t keep off the track up her thighs, and I had to swallow to keep my tongue from hanging out. I had always liked girls in some way, but never Jennifer. Tonight was whole different ball game, as I would come to find out. She practically pulled me into the cab and he took off before I could even catch my breath. Thirty minutes later we were cursing down the downtown district, I started grabbing my things and pulled money out to pay the cabbie. I was shocked once again when he kept going, and when I went to make mention of that fact Jennifer put a gloved hand on my arm. “Honey we are going somewhere else tonight,” she said. I was so confused but her look was such a mixture I knew not to push it. She lightened the mood by saying “Come on you know my surprises are always good.” I laughed a bit uneasily, but the ramble and patter of our voices got me so distracted I never really paid much attention on how far we had gone off course. So when we pulled in a deserted parking lot with nothing but another car waiting I knew I was in over my head. “Jen…ni…fer, I stumbled out, “what’s going on”. She seemingly ignored me, before saying something to the driver that just stepped out of the car. Than turned around, “I have this party I want to go to, and I knew you wouldn’t come. I couldn’t go by myself, so I told a little white lie. You forgive me don’t you?” She put on such an act of innocence, and threw her hands up and smile on that I just couldn’t resist. “Ok but the instant I am uncomfortable we are SO out of there.” She nodded and off we went. You know your mother always tells you pay attention to your surroundings, know where your going and were you have been, watch ahead and behind you at all times, but at 24 you really think you know the world and everyone in it. Knowing Jennifer like I did, I paid no mind to any of the fears in my head. When we arrived at our finial destination it was like a dream or a story. The gates alone were so expensive looking I almost demanded us return. Jennifer nudged me as we passed them, and gave me a kiss on the check. “Try new things, it won’t kill you.” I nodded trying to convince myself, but my stomach was saying all the opposite things. We drove up a driveway that rounded like in a fairytale. The trees were large standing oaks, which the house seemed to build itself around instead of vica versa. When I grabbed for the handle in the car Jennifer pulled me back. “Patience…” she said. I was never good at waiting, but when the driver started coming around to our side to open the door I just looked at her with my eyes narrowed. “Any more surprises tonight?” I said. She laughed and jumped out of the car, I thought to myself that wasn’t really a response. She stuck her head in, “Come on chicken.” “I am not a chicken, just…” The last words hung off my tongue as I took in the large castle like home in front of me. Saying it was huge is a understatement, the doors alone were at least twice my size and the windows looked like something out of Victorian design book. The house was done in brick and old wood, the doors were rich oak that had been stained many years ago. Deep oak partners aligned all the windows, and the storm shutters were the only thing that made the house look like it didn't just happened to grow out of the ground. I heard Jennifer walk off and the crack of the door, but I was such in a daze that I had to be dragged into the house. Our bags were set next to a whole bunch more, and my eyes trailed up the curved staircase that I swore was a remake of Gone with the wind. When we stepped into the massive front room it was overflowing with people. Some sitting, some kneeling on the floor, some cross legged on the couch, and some standing on almost every wall space. I was still taking it all in when a voice met my ears. “WELCOME, welcome everyone to my home away from home. I hope this weekend enthralls your passions, opens your eyes, and rekindles the….” I didn’t hear much of anything else because Jennifer was gnawing my ear off with her ramble. All about how old the house was, and were we would be staying, and how this weekend would be the greatest. Girl Stuff in general. She mentioned that the man talking was the owner of this place, DUH I thought. I just caught him talking about how to find our rooms when Jennifer nudged me to turn around cause he was scanning the room, or something. I turned and was met with a blue-eyed gentleman like no other. His presence alone was like a weight sunk on all living things and then searched through every crevice, but his eyes were such like hunting I was lost completely in them. As people started flowing out, grabbing bags and such, I was frozen in place. Jennifer nudged me and said something, with a wave of her hand and she stepped between us. “What’s wrong with you?” she said. I shock my head “Nothing I stuttered out…” We made it upstairs and that is when I started to panic. I can’t stay here, not with him here, not in this house, I need air all thoughts that rambled in my head. While Jennifer unpacked I looked for a way to get out without her knowing. When she took leave to take a shower I made a break for it. Grabbing my bagging and instinctively rushing down the stairs I had just come up. When I got about half way I heard voices. His, or what I remember was his, but it had an edge to it. Than some timid girl voice responded. It was hushed tones, so I don’t know what it was about, but I decided to tip toe out the front door. I got no more than three steps before the conversation in the front room stopped; I stopped as well one leg in the air and bag tittering to keep my balance. When I thought it was clear and crept to the front door. Grabbing hold of the handle on the door I turned my back to silence. I was sure I was home free, I had the door partially open and than I smelled him before I heard him. It was a rich manly scent mixed with musk from his cologne. By how strong it was I tried to judge were he was in the room behind me. His voice made it easier “I don’t remember inviting you here tonight,” He said in such monotone but with a hint of something deeper. “I turned and said, well no bother I was just leaving.” And waved my hand as if dismissing him. His eyebrows raised, and the girl that had just come around the corner bit her lower lip. It was like the air was completely sucked out of the room, before he finally chuckled. “Did you come with someone? Maybe we should call him/her?” He said. “I came with a girlfriend, but it was a mistake and now I’m going home.” I said. “Well you could let me call the car around…” I never let him finish his sentence before walking right up to him with all my glory and nerve “Look I don’t want to be here as much as you don’t want me here. But don’t do me any favors dude.” With that I picked up my cell phone and pressed the speed dial that would ring me a taxi. I was just finishing telling them what I needed when they asked the address, I realized I had no idea were I was. I knew I would have to ask, I cursed under my breath. Turned around to ask and just as quietly as he had entered he was gone. My mouth hung open, I sighed and clicked the phone shut. Leaving my bag I headed back upstairs to find Jennifer. Determined that she would tell me were I was or I would…Oh I don’t know what I would do. I just would…….
