Savage Garden – I want you

CPOV

My brain wouldn't shut up as I drove around town in my car. I heard the GPS say something, but I wasn't paying attention. I was happy with todays events, more than happy. I just wished I didn't have to leave her.

I wanted a day that I could spend with her and only her, just the two of us. I wanted to know as much about her as I could. Tomorrow would be that day. Today was just so jammed packed. I was only able to spend about an hour with her today, and for me, that just wasn't enough. I couldn't complain though, things turned out pretty well I thought.

"Recalculating" the GPS rang. Shit! That was my turn! I thought as I drove straight past the road I needed. I pulled over into a speedway parking lot and parked in the back, hoping no one would noticed me sitting here. Last thing I needed was freaked out people because they saw me. I snagged my phone and dialed Ted.

"Whats up man?" Ted answered. "Where you at?"

"I'm lost, I'm in a speedway parking lot, don't worry I got my GPS. Hey listen, I was wondering if you still needed help tonight?" I asked.

"Ahh, your brother called me already. Its fine Criss, we got everything handled over here. You go ahead and spend some time with your new fling."

"I don't think this ones a fling man. There's something about her. If you guys need me you know I'm there."

"Criss, don't worry about it man, we got it. We're almost done anyways, and by the time your ass actually figures out where you're going, we'll be done." Ted laughed.

"Alright, thanks, I really appreciate it. You wanna get together tomorrow night? Have a few beers?"

"I would love to brother, Pre Birthday bash smash."

"Sounds great. Ill be at your place round eight then?"

"Why don't you bring along your girl." Ted suggested.

"And subject her to you, I'm not so sure man." I laughed. "Although she will be at the party on Saturday so why the hell not. Ill ask her if shes up for it."

Ted chuckled. "Alright man, Ill see ya tomorrow night then. Cya"

"Later." I said and hung up.

I leaned my head back onto the head rest and took a deep breath. I grabbed the GPS and typed in the address my brother had given me. I sat for a moment and waited for the GPS to find its way, its way to Lanas house.

It was such a beautiful day for December Michigan weather. The sun was out and it was almost 60 degrees. So of course the only thing standing between me and the outside was my front screen door. I didn't mind leaving my door open, I lived in a good neighborhood. Dirt road, hardly any neighbors, and woods all around. No one even knew my road was on a map, unless of course they lived on it.

I had gone home after Criss left, and hadn't even changed out of my work clothes before I realized it was a mess. I decided to get my house spotless. I had the stereo blaring. Music always motivated me, pretty much to do anything, but I had to listen to music while I cleaned. I had always been that way. It got me going at a quicker pace, and plus, I loved my music.

I worked myself to the bone trying to get my house clean. I was normally a clean freak, my house was always spotless. But since I recently started working as a dance instructor, I hadn't had much time to keep up with my house duties. And hell, I was the only one that lived here, and I was always out and about, so what little mess was made was never seen by anyone. But I still didn't like looking at messes.

I put the finishing touches on the house and decided to do some free style dancing in my living room. I figured what the hell, I hardly had any time to myself lately, and I hadn't danced away in my living room in a long time. I switched my ipod to the next song, which coincidentally was my favorite current song. The song made me want to go crazy every time I heard it. This time wasn't any different. I started shaking my hips every where and moving my arms to the beat.

Out of no where someone came up behind me and placed their hands on my hips. It scared the shit out of me and a jumped forward spinning around to see who it was. Criss. Good thing I cleaned when I did, I thought to myself.

When I pulled into the driveway I could see the front door was open and the screen door was shut. I could hear music blaring from inside the house. I turned the car off and sat there for a moment, listening, I was trying to figure out what she was listening to. 30 Seconds to Mars. At least she had good taste in music. Never met Jared Leto personally, but he seemed like a pretty cool guy, very down to earth and not stuck on himself, for being a celebrity.

I finally decided to get out of the car when I heard the music switch to something I didn't recognize, some type of pop techno mix. I walked to the door and knocked. But I didn't hear anything or anyone. I knew she was home, her truck was in the driveway and the stereo was blaring.

I knocked again, louder. Nothing. I knocked one last time, as hard as I could without hurting the door. Still nothing. Should I walk in? I thought to myself. She doesn't seem like the type to get mad about that. As long as I'm not ill intended. Finally deciding I reached for the knob and opened the door. I poked my head in and yelled hello. Still no answer. So I decided to follow the music. She was a dancer, where the music was, was where shed be.

I walked into the entry way taking it all in. It was a pretty cozy looking house. Not too big, not too small. Perfect for one person. The entry way walls were white with black trim. Two black and white pictures hung on the closest wall. The opposite side hung a wooden plaque. As I read it I realized what it was. The footprints in the sand poem. Hanging above that was a gold antique looking cross. I smiled to myself as I read the poem.

Something caught the corner of my eye just then. I looked over to my right and saw Lana dancing around in the living room. It made me smile watching her like that. She was making me hott as I stood there and watched her shake her hips all around. The way her body moved was amazing, I had never seen someone who could move like she did, and every time I watched her dance, I couldn't help but think how awesome she would be in bed.

I walked up behind her and placed my hands on her hips. God! Just having my hands rest of her hips made me go crazy. I must have scared the crap out of her because she instantly flew forward and spun around. It looked as if she was ready to punch whoever was behind her. I instinctively flinched backwards. Once she realized who I was she looked at her fist and threw it down to her side. She ran over to the stereo and turned the music down to a soft hum.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." I chuckled, "I knocked but no one answered, and I didn't want to stand out there looking like an idiot all day, I hope you don't mind."

"No. No its alright, you just scared the shit out of me. Dare I ask how you knew where I lived?" She laughed and cocked an eyebrow.

"My brother." I admitted sheepishly. I suddenly felt extremely close to a stalker.

"I think I'm gonna have to meet this brother of yours. Give him a piece of my mind." She laughed. I smiled at her as I studied her body, and what a body it was.

"You're wearing glasses? You weren't wearing them earlier." I asked after noticing the thick black frames resting on her nose.

"Oh these, yea, my eyes are horrible, but I usually wear contacts, the glasses are just for around the house, when no one can see them." She laughed gesturing towards me.

"Oh, don't feel embarrassed, you look hott in them. And a nose ring? Nice." I commented on the little diamond on the side of her nose.

She laughed. "Yep, had that since I was 16, I take it out for work, I usually forget to put it back in."

I looked down to her stomach, noticing she hadn't changed her clothes. I was kind of hoping she would, that outfit was turning me on more than anything. Her shirt exposed her belly button, which now had a ring in it that hung down.

"Any other piercings I should know about?" I asked with obvious dirty intent, still staring at her mid section. I liked how I could flirt with her and she wouldn't flip out.

She looked down to her mid section, then back up at me and she shrugged. "That's a secret." she whispered seductively, sending shivers down my spine. It amazed me how quickly she could get a rise out of me, almost literally. She grinned at me when she noticed her words were having an effect.

"Do you mind if I hop in the shower real quick? I didn't get the chance after work and I don't want to scare you away with my odor." she giggled.

"You smell perfect to me." I grinned. She cocked her head sideways and smiled. "That's fine, Ill wait." I told her.

"Thank you. Ill be quick, make yourself at home." She said over her shoulder as the bathroom door shut behind her.

Instead of sitting down and waiting, I decided to look around. I walked to a bookshelf close to the bathroom. I could hear the splashes as the water hit the bottom of the tub. I smiled to myself when I realized that almost every book she had consisted of two things, romance and Angels. So she was an Angel fan? I huffed a laugh at the coincidence.

Next I moved onto her DVD collection. I couldn't believe my eyes, I scanned the room quickly to see if I could notice any pictures of a boyfriend, nothing as far as I could see. I shook my head in disbelief when I scanned further down the movies. Iron man, Transformers, Leathal weapon, Sin City. The collection in front of me look like something a guy would own, not a woman.

I beamed with pride when I noticed the entire DVD collection of Mindfreak. Apparently she liked my show enough to own it on DVD. I wasn't sure why, but catching sight of my show on her shelf made me very giddy inside.

Beside the DVD shelves sat her ipod. I was very curious as to what kind of music she liked, naturally, I couldn't resist. I picked up the ipod and scrolled through the music. As I read through the music list, my heart began to race. I was growing more and more fond of this girl with every growing second. Her variety of music was unbelievable. Anything from Adele to Metallica. I noticed most of the music was heavy or alternative rock. And I was pretty sure I had figured out that her favorite band was 30 seconds to mars, considering just about every one of their songs was in her list.

I also noticed a lot of Linkin Park and Breaking Benjamin. She even had some Godsmack and Korn on there. That was a relief to me. Sully, the drummer for Godsmack, was one of my best friends, and I didn't think he would approve of me dating someone who didn't like his band. Johnathan Davis, the lead singer of Korn, as well.

I placed the ipod down and began to look at the pictures that hung on the wall. One looked to be a family portrait. Lana looked a bit younger, high school age I guessed. Lana and three guys that looked to be related to her sat on the ground in front of a fallen tree. On the tree trunk above them sat a woman, who was obviously Lanas mom, the resemblance was uncanny. Next to her mom was a blond haired man with his fingers intertwined with her moms. Her dad? But he didn't look anything like the rest of them.

The picture diagonal from that one was of the same setting. Only this time, it was supposed to be a funny portrait. Lana and the three guys on the ground were pushing, pulling, or kicking one or the other, while Lanas mom leaned over the four of them trying to break things up, and the guy next to Lanas mom tried to console Lanas mom. It made me laugh. It was a great family picture, and it said a lot about Lanas family.

"Are you snooping?" Lana asked from behind me, making me jump slightly. I took a step back and looked behind me. She was leaning against the bathroom door fully clothed already. Her glasses were gone and her jeans were tight, tight enough to make me silently groan. I noticed the Doctor Who t-shirt she had on and laughed to myself.

"Doctor Who huh?" I asked with a grin. She looked down at her shirt and then back up at me.

"You know what Doctor Who is?" she asked surprised.

"Yea, I haven't watched it myself but I have some friends who really enjoy the show." I admitted. She smiled crookedly.

"I love Doctor Who. My favorite show of all time." she said. I gave her a sour look and tried not to smile.

"No Mindfreak?" I asked jokingly.

"Eh," she waved her hand in the air as if to say 'so so'. She laughed and pushed herself off the door and walked towards me. I pointed to the picture.

"Is this your family?" I asked.

"That," she said pointing to the guy sitting beside her, "is Arthur, that's Daniel, and that's Drew, my brothers."

"No sisters?" I asked. She shook her head no. "Older brothers?"

"Yea, I'm the youngest of the four. Only girl. Needless to say I grew up getting the crap kicked out of me." she chuckled.

"Must have been rough." I laughed. She smiled and nodded.

"You have no idea." she laughed. "But, its good for ya I guess, makes ya tough." she smiled.

"And that's your mom?" I asked, pointing to the woman who sat above her. She nodded. "You look a lot like her." I said. She smiled and shrugged. "And who's that?" I asked pointing to the guy next to her mom.

"My, step dad." she answered in a soft voice, I could tell there was more to it than she wanted to say, but I didn't want to push her.

"And that?" I asked, pointing to a small picture that sat on a self. A group of them stood in a wooded area all in a line, and they had on bright yellow life jackets and orange helmets.

"Oh that," she laughed. "That's when we all went white water rafting." she smiled to herself. "That was one hell of a time." she looked as if she was far off in a memory. I loved seeing her smile like that, a smile of true happiness.

"Who's that one?" I asked and pointed to a younger kid standing next to her. She had her arm wrapped around his shoulder and they were both sticking out their tongues as they gave up the rock sign.

"That's my nephew, Michael, but he's more like the little brother I never had. He's fourteen so since we're only eleven years apart, we kind of get along like siblings more than Aunt and Nephew." she explained.

"White water rafting huh? Never been." I said and nodded my head in approval.

"Oh my god, its so much fun!" she said with excitement in her voice.

"So you like that kind of stuff?" I raised an eyebrow at her.

"Hell yea. Rafting, jet ski's, quads, rollercoasters, anything exciting and dangerous." she winked, which sent a shiver down my spine.

Her attitude and personality was turning me on more and more. She liked all the kind of stuff I enjoyed doing, and knowing she was more of a roll around in the dirt kind of girl sank my heart to my feet. At that moment I realized I had finally met my match.

"So, uh, what do you do for fun around here?" I asked, trying to change the subject, the last thing I wanted was to get myself turned on, again. After watching that little stunt she pulled at the dance studio, I was finding it hard to control my boners.

"Well, I always like rollerblading." she laughed.

"Rollerblading huh? Could prove to be fun." I suggested. "Do you want to go rollerblading?"

She grinned and tilted her head. "Are you asking me out on a date?" she giggled.

"Maybe." I grinned.

"Well, I hate to break it to you, but I am a master rollerblader, Id make you look bad." she teased.

"Is that so? Betcha ten bucks I'm better than you are." I teased back. It had been a long time since I had been on rollerblades.

"Oh you're on." she laughed and grabbed her coat.
