20 The Date 6.3

****

In the end she took the fork, and gobbled up the desert. I don't know why with her I act this way but I get a joy out of ruffling her feathers. Maybe it's because she's so different from Anna. Anna needed to borrow strength to change and become to woman she is but Jenny she has her own strength honestly, I enjoy shaking that foundation to see if I can find something under the typhoons hard exterior. I feel like I lose that hard-calm exterior, that I spent so long under Ren building up. The don't show emotion had been drilled into me and here I was playing around with this little girl.

After we had left the restaurant, I drove out of the city. The roads where dark only my head lights guiding us as the car twisted and turned. I turned the wheel guiding the car smoothly to turn off onto an unmarked road. I watch Jenny cling to the door for dear life as we drive on a narrow road with a drop off on one side a hill on the other. I smile. This typhoon had a soft fearful side for common things it seemed after all. Coming into a clearing I stopped the car leaving the engine running I got out walking around and open the door. I hold out a hand to jenny who l took it skeptically.

She still took it, a since of curiosity on her face, though a speck of worry.

"I hope you like the stars" I say smiling down at her as she climbs out of the car. I let go of her hand and walk around to the trunk popping it open. I look over her bodies silhouette in the darkness by the side of the car still. I pull out a bag and few blankets. Closing the trunk, I walk back over to her I take her hand in mine. I can feel her body tense a little as I grip her hand and pull her toward the front of the car.

"What are we doing?" She pulls back a little. I smile back over my shoulder at her. The look up at the sky. "I thought it be nice to star gaze tonight. I do this a lot since moving here to start a new life. Thought we could share this one thing together." I watch her expression soften as she nods.

Pulling her forward we go little ways off from the car so the lights ruin the view, I lay down a blanket. I open up the bag setting up a telescope. I glance over noticing Jenny taking off her shoes and settling on the blanket. It might be dark but my eyes adjust to the moon light that kisses her skin. I don't miss the fact that to take off her shoes she is bent over unbuckling the latches of her wedge shoes the action gives me enough view of her ass that I feel an instant hard on, and Christ I was so thankful at this moment for the darkness.

Finishing the set up and sitting back I watch as she adjusts herself as she takes a seat next to me.

"The scope is ready if you want to use it." I say glancing over at Jenny who was sitting up her legs curled up next to her. She was rubbing at her arm. I grab the second blanket unfolding it I draped it around her shoulders. It was peaceful sitting there. I turned to look up at the stars. I look for the spring constellations in the sky. I feel a soft brush on the tip of my fingers. I look down noticing the tips of her hand was on mine. follow then up to her face who is still looking at the stars but I don't miss the sideways glance she gives me trying to pretend she wasn't looking or doing this on purpose. I move my hand for a second, putting my hand over hers intertwining my fingers in her hand. I hold it firmly and return to looking at the stars. We say nothing as we sit and look out into the night sky. I felt at peace again like I did with Anna, not actually I feel better than I did with Anna.

No matter what happened at the start of the date it was so romantic in the end I forgot it wasn't real. That is until he dropped me back off at my house. I almost wished for another kiss, then he held out his hand to shake mine. The mixed emotions I had experienced at that moment were disappointment, anger, and a moment of feeling stupid for forgetting.

The look on his face was one of confusion as well. He waited for me to unlock and go in and relock the door saying it wasn't safe to let him in tonight. I knew what that meant and the past made me want to run, but the chemistry between us made me want to know how it feel with a man like him.

I fell asleep quickly but the nightmares came haunting me. The Tyrant from my past, stood before me, the same scar still where I left it down his eye. He had Maliki who he had injured. Maliki was covered in blood in my living room. That sick bastard was standing over him the hems of his tunic now drenched with the Maliki's blood. I cried out from all the stab wounds making me wake and jump up in bed. Tears soak my face. My body soaked with sweat. As Tears ran down my face. I knew the dream would come true there was no stopping that man which is why it's good Maliki puts boundary on the fake relationship but, I felt tears well up a little feeling dissatisfied about last night. Even if I can't go all the way not even getting a good night kiss it's stupid, I expected to do at least that much but he said he would help me and thanks to that. The frustration I think created this nightmare because I cared enough to think about him going to sleep.
