“Maybe I’ll see you around sometime then Twinkie.”
“Sorry I don’t do repeats, it’s hard to beat that first time.” I reply waiting for him to move past the hood so I can go on.
“Now that’s damned disappointing. Maybe I can show you some things get better with practice,” he purrs.
“It’s nice you believe in miracles. Good to know I didn’t take all your innocence,” I return. He barely clears my car before I give it some gas and pull out from the pumps intent on getting away.
“Be seeing you soon.”
I ignore that warning and the chills it sends down my spine and turn the sound back up on my radio. By this time Creep from Radiohead, is on so I crank it high.
“Who the hell was that?” Dani asks when we get on the road, turning my music back down.
“Have no idea. Thought he was sexy, but he seemed to be getting his jollies off messing with me, while his buddies laughed.”
Dani was silent, but I saw her nod out of the corner of my eye.
We went down the road about a mile or so before I noticed the bikes behind us. I could see Stud in the back mirror his shades covering his eyes. Damn he was sex on a stick.
“Don’t look now, but I think your play toy is following you.” Dani said looking through her side mirror. I turned on the signal to cut down road 80, where the house we had rented was located. I couldn’t help but notice the bikes followed.
“Do you think we should be worried?” I ask, trying not to hyperventilate.
“Nah, it’s a long road, maybe they live on it or maybe he just wants to tap your ass. Worse things could happen girl. Hell, it’s been forever since you got laid.”
She wasn’t wrong. I had been with two other guys. One was in high school. I was sixteen and gave my virginity to my boyfriend Marshall after prom. Both Marshall and the giving away of my virginity were a mistake. The second was the last relationship I was in, Tony or as I affectionately referred to him, Tony the Tool. I sucked the big one at picking men.
We drove a little further along the road then turn up a dirt road on the right that leads to the house we rented. We’d found an ad online and rented it just by the pictures. Apparently the pictures were old because the grass out front would come up past my knees. Holy Splendor in the Grass, Batman!
“Shit.” Dani said and I wholeheartedly agreed as we pulled into the drive. I parked and we got out, still in shock.
We hear the bikes following us in, somehow I wasn’t surprised, but I was in shock over the house, so my attention was somewhat diverted. I was counting up the hours I’d be stuck doing yard work and praying the house was in better shape, when Tall, dark and studly parked his bike beside me.
“Nice place, Twinkie.” He said, at least this time the boys weren’t laughing.
I turned so I could face him. God he was hot. Did I forget to mention that? Even if I didn’t, it sure as hell needs repeating.
“Listen it’s cute how you cling to me and everything, but first rule in cherry popping 101, hit it and quit it. So really we should say goodbye now.” I hear Dani snort over his men’s laughter.
“You go barefoot in these weeds Mama and you’re liable to get snake bit.”
I roll my eyes. “I have shoes, plus last time I checked I was a big girl, you don’t need to worry Daddy.” I open the car door, get out my flip flops and put them on my feet.
I was giving him much more lip than I normally would. I wasn’t sure why, but I think it was because it felt like he and his men were laughing at me earlier. If you added that along with the fact he checked out Dani, of whom I could never compete with, while I was standing right there…..
“I’ve never liked that before,” he said resignedly, getting off his bike.
I take a step back now that he is standing beside me. I had to, to try and get air or I would have swooned. It was a near miss as it was.
“What’s that?” I ask suddenly lost to the conversation.
“Being called Daddy, but it might be hot as hell from you. Especially, if you scream it out while I’m spanking that ass of yours.”
Have you ever seen a goldfish jump out of its’ bowl and flap around? Its mouth opening and closing while it’s trying desperately to breathe? I’m pretty sure that’s what I looked like.
Then he shocked me further by picking me up and walking me towards the house.
“Wait! What on Earth are you doing?”
“Mama those things on your feet are cute as hell, but they aren’t going to protect you from snakes.” I hear Dani laughing and looked over Stud’s shoulders to see her piggy back riding one of the other men. She was having the time of her life; I was confused, aroused and panicked. See? Totally different from Dani, damn it!
