We drove uncomfortably silent for a few minutes until Reid realized, he had no idea where he was taking us.
"Where am I dropping you off?" He asked, coldly
I was too deep into thought to hear what he said.
"Hello…where am I taking you, whats the address??"
Shit, I have no idea.
I turned around and started poking Maggie.
"Maggie, wake up…what's your aunts address?? Maggie…MAGS!!"
All she did was shoo my hand away and turn over.
Reid laughed to himself. Not a 'ha ha this is funny' laugh, a 'you've got to be fucking kidding me' laugh.
I turned back to him., "Um, well…we drove over a little bridge on our way to Nicky's, does that help?"
"A small stone bridge?" He asked
"Yes! Yes that's the one"
"There's one every 20 fucking feet around here" He said sarcastically.
Shit.
He pulled over again and stopped the car.
Oh my God, this is it…he's going to attack us. What do I do?? WHAT DO I DO???
He noticed me tense up the second the stopped the car.
"Holy shit Christine will you fucking stop already, I'm not going to touch you…as appealing the thought was a few hours ago..trust me, it's not anymore"
'What the fuck is that supposed to mean…what, am I not hot enough? Stupid prick'… I thought to myself.
"I'm not going to keep driving around in circles, so how about we just try to figure out where the fuck I'm taking you so we can both just get the fuck home. What's her aunts last name?" He asked
Ok…I could do this, what is her aunts's last name? It starts with an F, I know that much
"Futter? I think"
"It's not Futter" He responded
"How the fuck do you know?" I asked
"Because there is not one Futter who lives in this town…try again"
I thought for a few more minutes…"FLETCHER…That's it, her aunt's last name is Fletcher"
Reid looked shocked. "You're going to the Fletcher House?"
"Uh, yea?"
"Unbelievable" He muttered under his breath, and pulled a U-Turn, apparantly we passed it.
I looked down at the clock, it was 5:37 am, the sun was coming up. Damn, tonight has been some adventure. What I expected out of this town is NOT what I got…I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing…
We drove silently, once again. I really was starting to feel bad about the whole rapist accusation. This kid wasn't a fucking rapist, I mean..he was right, he doesn't have to use a drug to get a girl into bed..just look at him, hes fucking beautiful. But still…what was that whole 'use' bullshit all about. I'll find out eventually, but for now I should apologize…go ahead Christine, just apologize…God, why do I have to be so damn stubborn..just apologize!!"
"I'm sorry…" I blurted out.
"Yep" He responded
"Look..im apologizing, which is not something I do often..don't be a dick about it."
"Christine, you just accused me, and my friends of being rapists…please forgive me if a simple I'm sorry doesn't exactly make me feel all warm and tingly inside"
He was right…that's a really fucked up thing to accuse someone of.
"Look, seriously…I'm sorry, it's just that we just met you guys, and I don't usually take rides from guys I JUST met…and the whole use thing, and Maggie got me really nervous…I didn't know she drank THAT much…she doesn't usually"
He turned and looked at me, I got chills the second his eyes locked mine, he had the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen on someone…I bit my lip nervously and forced a tiny smile.
He could totally tell that what I was saying was genuine, he loosened up a bit.
"You city girls got a hard shell around you, I intend on cracking that" He said and chuckled.
Oh thank God, he wasn't mad anymore.
"Oh yeah, you think you can?" I asked playfully
"Not think baby…I know I can" At that instant we pulled up to the gate outside of Maggie's aunts manor.
"Please tell me you have the key for the gate" He said.
"Of course we have the key, we're not THAT stupid"
I reached back and grabbed Maggies purse. Lip Gloss, gum, cell phone, another lip gloss, coupons to pathmark? Whatever…loose change, a hair clip…where the fuck are the keys???
I didn't even have to say anything…he saw the look on my face. "Oh my God Christine, I have known you for 1 night and you are serously going to be the death of me."
I blushed…there was really nothing else for me to do.
He jumped out of the car, the sun was mostly up at this point.
I watched as he started to climb the gate…'damn, look at the muscles in his back, and his arms…wow.'
Within seconds he was on the other side and unlocked the gate for us. He got back in the car and drove us up to the front door"
The second we pulled up, he immediately went to the front door. He had his back to me, so I really have no idea how he did it…but he picked the lock and got the door open. You would think a house like this, the lock would be a little harder to break…not for him.
"How the hell did you do that??" I asked in shock
"Call it a gift" He smiled, then went to the back seat to help me with Maggie.
He scooped her up in his arms, then followed me into the house. We walked upstairs to the bedroom she was staying in and he delicately placed her on the bed. I shut the lights and we both walked back downstairs.
We stood by the door and all of a sudden something started to repeat in my head. I'm assuming we have all seen Wedding Crashers? Well you know the part when Vince Vaughn's character is going off about the awkwardness of dates….
"…And when am I supposed to kiss her? Do I have to wait for the door cause then it's awkward, it's like well goodnight. Do you do like that ass-out hug? Where you like, you hug each other like this and your ass sticks out cause you're trying not to get too close or do you just go right in and kiss them on the lips or don't kiss them at all? It's very difficult trying to read the situation. And all the while you're just really wondering are we gonna get hopped up enough to make some bad decisions? Perhaps play a little game called "just the tip". Just for a second, just to see how it feels. Or, ouch, ouch you're on my hair.""
Ok, I've seen the movie a million times…I know the entire thing by heart, but that is not what is important here!! This is so awkward.
"So um, how did you know this was the house when I told you her aunt's last name?" I asked
He laughed…"My house is the next one over, about a half a mile up."
"Ohhh…so we're neighbors huh?" I asked playfully
He stepped in closer, really close actually. "Looks that way" He said softly, as he leaned in to kiss me.
All of a sudden we heard a door swing open and the sounds of a sick Maggie running for the bathroom.
"Fuck" I muttered under my breath and leaned my head back.
We both couldn't help but laugh at the timing of the whole thing. "Go take care of your friend, maybe I'll see you tomorrow?" He asked
I couldn't help but smile, oh my God I'm such a loser…acting like a little school girl.
"Yeah, um…definitely" I answered.
He leaned in again and gave me a soft peck on the lips, I literally got chills. He smiled, before walking out.
I closed the door and stood with my back against it, smiling to myself…just taking in everything that happened tonight. Until the sounds of Maggie brought me back to reality. I headed up the stairs, this has been the longest night of my life…and it's still not over.
