Love to Carmen and Dawn for pre-reading and Sally for all her red pen polish. I tinker so any mistakes are mine.
ENJOY!

A few hours later we were back in the parking lot of the strip mall we'd left from. It was a harsh reminder of the reality we left behind. I watched as he packed away the helmet he'd loaned me. The ease at which he handled the bike and now this simple task mesmerized me. He was an enigma and sex rolled into a neat package.
When he turned to face me, we were suspended in silence. I had no words to say, and even if I did, what would they be? Thanks? See ya later? I knew nothing but how his body felt as we hugged a curve. Or the smell of his neck as I hid in the crook of it. But I knew that knowing stuff about him would be dangerous. He would give me pieces and bits, and the curious girl in me would want to solve him. Trouble was, once he was solved, he would be gone. I wasn't ready for him to be gone. So I stayed with the silence.
Unfortunately, or maybe not, he was much more courageous than me.
"Give me your phone." It was a command, not a request, and the hand he held out wiggled impatiently.
Against my better judgement, I held it out. His face scrunched as he did whatever he wanted. A faint ping had me guessing he had texted himself.
"See you around, Bella?" His hand held out my phone.
He looked at me expectantly. Now it was my turn to scrunch my face as I reached for the phone, still mute.
"You work at Kohl's, right?" I could only nod. How did he know?
He smiled. "I was watching you." He said it so matter of factly there was no apology whatsoever. "I work at the auto shop, Jasper's, a few stores down."
"Oh." I mentally slapped my forehead. Could I have been less lame?
"Love leaving a girl speechless. I'll call you, beautiful."
With a wink and a smirk, he was back on his bike. A few minutes more, he was swallowed up by the inky blackness of night.
A/N: I love this chapter... So here's a challenge... start from the beginning and play T-Swift's Wildest Dreams... it was the song that inspired this whole story. I listened to it on repeat as I banged out a shit ton of chapters... But this chapter... it was my first image... GAH.. I love it!
So as I go to bed.. I want to wake to lots of love... Sweet dreams...
