especially hated Saturday nights, but
decided I’d go out with friends to hear a local band they were friends with.
It was a decent club, but not exactly my ‘thing’ anymore.
I’d gone for a long run after I
woke up and then spent half the day cleaning up around my house and doing a
little work. It had been a pretty productive day, but I needed to get out and
have a little fun.
I happened to be up at the bar
when I saw her walk in. I couldn’t believe it. The one person in the entire
city that I couldn’t seem to get out of my mind, was walking through the doors
of the club I happened to be in.
Jen Bailey looked just as
beautiful as she did at dinner last night, but instead of a fancy dress, she
was in jeans….’sexy as hell’ jeans. I let my eyes roam her body since she had
no idea I was looking at her. Her long blonde hair was not as smooth as it was
last night. It was a little messy and looked good. She was curvy where it
mattered and not too thin. Pretty damn perfect, actually.
I leaned against the bar and
sipped my drink. I hadn’t really noticed anyone but her until I saw none other
than Jack Woods walking right behind her with his hand on her back. Damn.
He was a nice enough guy and smart
as hell, but just didn’t strike me as her type. Well, not that I know her
type, but I didn’t think it would be Jack. He was more of a slick, smooth
talkin’ salesman and she didn’t seem like the type to buy into that bullshit.
Guess that’s how much I know…..I didn’t have a clue about her or any other
woman for that matter.
Still, I couldn’t help but to
just watch her and judging by her body language, they didn’t know each other
all that well. Maybe a first or second date? I saw her flinch a few times at
his touch and you just don’t do that when you really know someone.
I really should’ve gone back to
my friends and stopped being a total creeper, but I was completely fascinated
and I hadn’t been fascinated by anyone since Kristen. Oh God, I could feel my
whole face fall….the thought of her felt like cold water was poured over my
head.
I turned to go back to my friends
when I saw it happen and I froze in place. He kissed her, but it was weird for
her, I think. I saw her face when he turned her around and could see she was
upset and trying to pull away, but he wasn’t having it.
I felt my feet moving toward her
to help, but then she stiffened a bit, said something to Jack and was released
from his grip. He smiled and I watched as she took off toward the bathrooms,
but she didn’t look right.
I glanced back at Jack, who was
just watching as she walked away and decided I would at least go see that she
was okay.
I saw her slip into the bathroom
so I moved to the wall nearest the hallway and waited for a few minutes. I was
sipping on my beer and nearly choked on it when I saw her stick her head out of
the bathroom door, look around and then make a beeline for the exit. I
couldn’t help but to start chuckling at this girl. She was running….running
from Jack, in fact.
What the hell?
I sat my beer down, waited till
she was several steps ahead of me and then I followed. I laughed at myself.
Shit, I was a damn stalker now, but I couldn’t help it! I had to see what she
was up to.
As I skirted the corner of the
club, I saw her jump in a cab and take off. She turned to look back toward the
club and I was afraid she had seen me so I ducked back into a shadow. Fuck!
Now I was lurking in shadows, too. I really needed to get out more.
I shook my head and smiled, then
walked back around to the front of the club and through the door. As I passed
by the bar, I saw Jack still standing in the same spot. Sucker! He had no
idea Jen just bailed on him. My night was getting better and better.
I made my way back up to my group
of friends who just slapped me on the back as I walked up. They were happy to
have me
