Chapter 21– When You Reach Dizzy Heights
Tyana watched as her ball went flying down the lane, dead center, and knocked all the pins clear off balance. Strike. She shrugged at it, seeing as it was the 9th one that night and all her other shots had been spares, but smiled with satisfaction as she turned on her heel and wrinkled her nose happily at Jeff. Knowing how desperately his ass was being whooped by this woman he tried to sneer but instead his lips curled up into an agreeable smile.
"Now I know last time I took you out wasn't the first time you did this. Come on, confess, you're a pro aren't ya?" they both laughed. Tyana sauntered over to him with a smile and held out a hand as if to pull him up,
"If I was a pro then I'd be getting strikes every time, no spares" She took his hand, pulled him to his feet and began to shuffle him towards his ball. "Now show me what you're made of" She slapped his behind and nodded towards their lane.
"You got a thing about my ass or something?" He quizzed as he took his run up and throw the ball hurtling down the lane towards the pins. 9 flew out in all directions and one was left standing in the corner.
Tyana shrugged when he turned to her, "What? It's a nice ass" she grinned, found his second ball and passed it to him. With a wink he took the ball from her and followed up on getting a spare. For the remainder of the game Tyana flirted with an out of character outrageousness but she beamed to see her passes were returned often. They finished their game and tied up all loose ends before leaving the alley. It was almost midnight now and neither wanted to end the date. As they walked quietly together, Tyana's arm linked through his, and her heels clicking on the pavement, they both racked their brains as to what they could do now. Finally Tyana parted her lips and let a suggestion spill from them.
"Let's go back to the hotel, to the pool. Unless you can think of anything better to do that is" Jeff looked down at her gorgeous face and immediately thought that nothing else could be better than taking this woman to one of the first places that he remembered meeting her.
"No, let's go" they headed back to the hotel and after they got the keys to their rooms they wandered out back to the pool and sat down at it's side. Both pulled off their shoes and dipped their feet into the water that glistened in the light of the crescent moon. They spoke openly about their view of their night together and both happily concluded it had been a great date. Before long their lips had met and their minds both swirled around in happiness.
In the lobby Shadow strolled in with her sure stride, Matt at her side, and continued talking while they made their way to the desk. They picked up their keys, laughed at something they agreed on and went towards the lifts, passing the double sets of glass doors leading out to the pool on the way. They walked straight past them until Shadow paused, grabbed a hold of Matt's arm—causing him not only to stop what he was saying but to jerk back when she pulled on it—and moved back so that they stood in front of the doors. They both gazed out and smiled at the picture of Jeff and Tyana indulging in one another poolside, neither showing any signs of wanting to stop, their lips moving rhythmically together.
"Looks like their date's going well then" Shadow observed.
Matt nodded, "So it does"
He was the one that pulled her this time as he moved them both back towards the lifts, leaving the two to their privacy. Shadow smiled gently, glad that things were working out for Tyana, and followed the man whom she had no romantic but definite platonic interest in. He was cool, that was all she could say; he was just plain cool.
A while later Tyana and Jeff split lips long enough to make their way up to their floor where she leant back against her door smiling, Jeff standing right in front of her with a mirrored expression. After a moment he let his forehead furrow and ventured to point something out.
"This is gonna sound weird but I have serious Déjà vu" he explained. "From kissing you I mean" he clarified. She knew why he had that sense of having kissed her before and told her heart not to leap with the confirmation that something inside him remembered her, remembered them.
"You're right. It does sound weird" she murmured smiling. But her smile grew wider, "Good for you I don't mind weird" She bit her lip slightly with her smile and left it open for Jeff to decide whether or not he wanted to kiss her again. He leant in without a second doubt and their lips merged naturally as if they had done it millions upon billions of times before. Wanting to prolong the sensational essence the experience was giving her Tyana wrapped her arms around his neck. He showed no objection to the action and complied by slipping one hand around the back of her neck and the other arm around her waist. Time melted away and suddenly it was as if they both remembered everything. Everything.
The blaring of the television inside finally broke the magic of the embrace so for the final time that night they both pulled away and whispered promises of another meeting before they both disappeared behind the wood of their hotel room doors. Once inside Tyana pulled off her heels and her jacket and smiled at Shadow who was pretending to be thoroughly enthralled by the television more so than the opportunity of gossip. Tyana smiled at her friend then slipped into the bathroom where she removed her make up, smiling helplessly all the while. She slipped out of her dress into a bathrobe and brushed out her hair. Satisfied that she was ready for bed Tyana moved to the leave the room but not before suddenly becoming overwhelmed by a sensation of utter confusion and dizziness. And for once it was she that passed out before she could find her feet.
