At the parking lot
A few days after Summer returned to her apartment, she went to a shopping mall. She needed hairspray, body lotion and some other items.
It already was dark outside. She got into the drugstore looking for the conditioner when she saw David standing near another shelf watching her with a smirk on his lips.
"Hello", he said. She looked at him for a second. "Hi," she returned in a low tone, then she turned around, grabbed the conditioner and went away to pay her purchases.
At the check stand, she noticed David was behind her. It hit her like a gun when she noticed it was His voice, she heard outside her apartment during some nights.
Summer didn`t turn around, but she knew he was grinning. On the way to her car she saw Paul and another guy, she didn`t know.
Both of them looked at her, Paul with a big grin and the other guy, who seemed to be a Native American, with a serious expression.
Paul waved and she waved back. When she put her items into the car, she noticed that David joined them and the three of them were sitting on their motorbikes. Summer heard them starting their engines.
She started her car and turned the radio on looking for her favorite song on the USB stick.
When Summer looked up again, the Native American blocked her way to the front with his bike, while Paul blocked her door, both men with a sardonic grin.
She got angry, but when she looked into her rear view mirror, Summer noticed David walking to the passenger door. Summer got scared and didn`t know what to do. She had her window down and heard Paul laughing.
But then she remembered that her power door locks didn`t work. David couldn`t get in. It made her grin, and she put the car into reverse without making a noise. David tried to open the door. "What`s wrong", Paul asked him. "The door is locked", David answered confused. "Shit happens," Summer shouted to Paul before she piled out off the parking spot very fast.
She nearly hit David`s bike which was parked behind her car in a low distance. She had to brake sharply, turned the car and drove away waving with a big grin.
The three men sat on their bikes after Summer escaped from David again. Paul looked at Dwayne. "That`s your little girl, daddy," he said with a smile.
Dwayne started laughing. "She seems to be very smart, just like her mother," he returned. David nodded with a smile. "I don`t know why she always runs away from me. I don`t want to hurt her," he said.
"You really wonder," Dwayne asked him. " By the way, you`ve my permission. Visit her at home, that is a place she feels safe and won`t run away! And no more of your jokes!" Paul looked at David with a big grin. "And don`t forget to take your Hello Kitty pink glitter car back home!"
David shook his head. "Only girls could do that, will never understand," he returned. Dwayne gave him a Cheshire grin. "Don`t try to understand women, it won`t work," he told David. David turned to Dwayne with a serious expression. " I will make her mine, I already told you," he explained. Dwayne nodded. "Do it and bring her home, that would make me happy!"
Paul looked at them. "And Anja would be happy to have another female around," he said. David returned his gaze. "Sometimes you really surprise me, Paul," he answered smiling before he started his engine.
"Then another try next night," he said leaving the parking lot followed by Paul and Dwayne.
Summer was standing at a red traffic light when she noticed Nora in a few distances.
She seemed to cry so Summer turned the car onto her direction and stopped in the middle of the lane beneath her work mate. She opened the passenger door.
"Hey Nora, what`s wrong," she asked. Nora looked at her, jumped into the car, closed the door and started crying again. Summer took her hand. "A hot chocolate could help," she asked. Nora only nodded.
A few minutes later Summer parked her car in front of a sidewalk cafe and ordered two hot chocolates.
Nora explained that he had a bad fight with Daniel, her boyfriend and that she at least broke up their relationship. Summer only listened. "And then," Nora told her, "I saw him kissing another woman. That was too much.
I told him, I will never see him again." Summer looked at her. "I`m sorry for you, but a few weeks ago in the club, you already told us that you had the feeling that something is wrong. Don`t waste a second thought at this arshole, he doesn`t deserve a woman like you," she finally said.
Marko, Marco, Laddie, and Anja were sitting at another table close to the two women. Although they talked in a very low tone, of course, the vampires were able to listen to them.
Marko noticed that a big smile turned into Nora`s face and the conversation between the two women suddenly changed. "Sorry that I told you all that shit. I should have known better," Nora said. Summer looked at her smiling. "Don`t worry, what are friends there for," she answered.
After a while, Nora looked at Summer. "Hey, what about you," she asked. Summer gave her a puzzled gaze.
"Oh come on, that guy in the club," Nora went on. Summer raised an eyebrow. "Which guy," she asked. "That guy on the dancing floor in the club," she returned.
Summer stared at her. "You are talking about that big dick," she asked. Nora laughed. "No, I`m talking about the one that helped you. Everybody noticed your reaction when you caught his eyes," she said. "You have a crush on him from first sight," she went on. Marko listened, biting his nails with his Chesire grin. That could get very interesting. Summer shook her head. "I don`t...," she tried to say, but Nora interrupted her. "You do," she answered. "And I`m sure, you already know his name."
Summer rolled her eyes, and the discussion went on like that a little longer. During that time Dwayne joined the others and took a seat beneath Marko. Laddie grinned at him. "You should listen to your girl and her friend," he told Dwayne. "I`m sure you won`t miss that!"
"Nora, I do not... I don`t have a crush on him, I only met him once... okay not only once I met him an hour ago, but I don`t have a crush," Summer stuttered bashfull.
Nora grinned. "You do," she said. And what`s his name," she asked. Summer was totally embarrassed. "I don`t know...David...his friend told me, but...but I didn`t ask, but I don`t have a crush, I even don`t know him," Summer explained still stuttering.
Nora nodded with a grin. "But...," she spoke. Summer shook her head again. "Would you please stop that," she told her friend. Nora smirked. "You have feelings for him, and maybe he is a good lover...," she said. Summer`s mouth opened, but no words came out. Both of them went quiet.
Summer couldn`t help herself, she had a crush on David by first sight, but those feelings were something she wasn`t used too. Summer never was in love with anybody, and she loved to be independent.
She never thought about David touching her or that he could want more. Summer never had talked to him, she always ran away, when he was around, like an hour ago in the drug store. He tried to contact her, he tried to get into her car, but she thought it would only be a game of a very big boy, it made her feel uncomfortable.
Dwayne and Marko looked at each other grinning. Summer pulled her cigarettes out of her purse and offered one to Nora she took it.
Summers lighter didn`t work. "Oh, wait," Nora told her. "I have just bought some," she said and pulled a pack of three plastic lighters out of her pocket.
"Which one would you like," she asked her friend. Summer looked at them and pointed to the one with a motorbike on it.
While his daughter looked at the lighter in her hand Dwayne was able to read her mind. Only one word was in it. His grin grew bigger. She noticed the motorbike on that little plastic item and he only heard a name - 'David.'
