"Hey Sadie. Have you seen Amanda at all? Or heard from her perhaps?" Jeremy
asked Sadie as she walked by him. Jeremy wasn't wearing anything but
boxers, and his mature and well defined body was an amazing sight to see.
Sadie scolded herself for thinking about her adopted father like that. She
shook her head no to his question and pressed on upstairs to her room.
"Sadie wait. I'm glad that she's not here."
"You can only imagine how glad I am that she's not here."
"There's something I wanted to tell you Sadie." Jeremy began ".I have noticed lately that you've been keeping yourself very attractive."
"Thanks to Amanda" Sadie interrupted
"Yes, sure. Sadie, you are aware that I am only 23 years old." Jeremy began to say "and you're eighteen now. So that makes a five year difference I believe"
"What are you getting at"
"I don't think of myself as your father, but rather a friend. In order for me to have been your father, I would have had you when I was five years old. So needless to say, I find you highly attractive."
"Ok. You're married." Sadie started
"Not happily" Jeremy continued
"Not my problem" Sadie finished and turned her back to walk to her room. Not a moment after she had laid upon her bed, Jeremy entered her bedroom and sat on the foot of her bed.
"What do you think about me" He asked her
"I think that you're married, yet attractive and can get anyone you want to. Just go to the party tonight and look around.people turn their heads when you walk in."
"Why don't you turn yours?"
"Why would you want me to?" Sadie asked while pulling the covers over her and turning over to get comfortable.
"Because I.I don't know. I'm sorry, I'll leave now. Goodnight" He said as he stood up and exited the room.
"Jeremy, I'm sorry if you have a bad marriage."
"She's cheating on me isn't she?" He asked Sadie
"Goodnight" Sadie asked, not wanting to tell him the truth, yet wanting to tell the world what Nick had done to her. Jeremy shut the bedroom door and treaded downstairs. Alone.
The night was cold, dark, mysterious. The party was going smoothly, many people complimented Sadie on how good the black dress looked on her. Ryan was by her side the whole time, urging Sadie to look happy and smile. That's just what she did, wore a fake smile. Nobody but Ryan and Amanda at the party knew what had happened. Nobody knew how Jeremy came onto her, nobody knew anything about how Sadie watched her family burn inside their house which turned into an inferno. Nobody knew much about her. She wanted to start over. Fresh. Anew. Nobody could help her with that either. With all of this in mind, she still wore a smile that nobody could see through; to everyone at the party she was beautiful and joyful, to herself she was falling apart with nowhere to fall.
"Do you want something to drink Sadie?" Ryan asked while taking her hand and bringing her back to her senses.
"Oh, no thank you Ryan." She said politely then turned to wave at one of the guests who was looking at her.
"Everyone is watching you tonight" Ryan said as he too waved at the same guest "Everyone sees how beautiful you are."
"Bullshit" Sadie said and threw him a fake smile, then walked away to the back balcony. Ryan tried to follow but somebody came up to him and started talking to him; so he tried not to be rude. Sadie opened the back doors to find four people standing out there. Two of which were Jeremy and Amanda, working out their problems. One was an old man who was silently smoking a cigar on the swinging bench, and the other was a young man who was staring intensely at the night sky.
"Beautiful isn't it" Sadie said as she took a stand by his side, placing her elbows on the rail and leaning forward. The young man looked surprisingly at her, stared at her body for a minute and then turned back towards the sky.
"Yes, it is" He responded. "I'm sorry, I'm Michael." He stated as he held out his hand to shake Sadie's.
"My name is Sadie" She responded while taking his hand and shaking it. He had pretty blue eyes, like hers, and saw compassion in them.
"So what brings you out here tonight?" He asked while looking again at the sky.
"Bad day" She responded simply, "and you?"
"Same" He said back. All was silent, a moment of awkwardness
"How old are you?" She asked him after studying his body for a moment.
"I'm nineteen. Well, almost nineteen." He responded shyly "and you?"
"I turned eighteen in April. I haven't seen you at any of these parties, what brings you to this one tonight?"
"Really? I've been going to them for a little while. I've seen you before, the other night you were wearing a red dress and had your hair up."
"Oh, really? Were you the one standing by the drinks that night?" She asked with a shimmering smile on her face.
"That would be me. You can find me by either the drinks or the back door. I'm not much of a social butterfly when it comes to these 'parties' you know"
"Me neither." She finished. Silence yet again.
"Do you want to get something to eat? I mean, real food not just the crap they put out here." Michael asked her
"What place do you have in mind?"
"Sadie, you're not going anywhere besides this party tonight ok dear?" Amanda said to Sadie.
"Amanda, I'm eighteen years old. I can get a hamburger without your consent." Sadie responded harshly, then looked at Michael who was confused.
"Sisters?" He asked
"I adopted her not 5 five months ago I believe?" Amanda said with a wink at Michael. I'm Amanda" She stated as she walked over and shook Michael hand. He smiled politely at her as Amanda winked at him again.
"May I have your permission to take Sadie out to get some hamburgers?" Michael asked Jeremy who was standing behind Amanda.
"Sure thing. Don't be home later than six o clock ok Sadie?" Jeremy responded sweetly.
"Thanks Jeremy, you're the greatest. I really need to get out of these clothes and eat some real food." Sadie said happily as she looked at Michael who was waiting by the open door to leave.
"If it's alright with you, Michael, may we stop off at my house so that I may change?" Sadie asked politely.
"Why would I object" Michael said nicely "I know a great place to eat at" and the two turned to leave the house. While passing through, Ryan noticed Sadie walking with this new guy Michael.
"SADIE wait!" Ryan yelled through the crowd and everyone turned to look. "Where are you going?"
"To get some hamburgers" Sadie responded simply
"Hello Michael. I wasn't expecting to see you here" Ryan said coldly to Michael who was standing by Sadie.
"Too shay." Michael responded dryly as the two stared at each other for a moment
"Is there something going on between you guys or something?" Sadie asked, breaking the silence.
"Not at all. Ready?" Michael asked while pulling Sadie away from Ryan. Ryan grabbed onto Sadie's arm, leaving her in the middle of a tug of war.
"You're not really going anywhere with him are you?" Ryan asked angrily
"Ryan. You're my best friend, remember this afternoon?" Sadie said with a wink "Nothing's going to change if I go grab a hamburger ok?"
"You're right. I'm sorry. Are you still staying over tonight?" Ryan asked Sadie
"Of course Ryan. I'll be back in an hour" She said as she turned back towards Michael. He was cute, not as cute as Ryan, but still cute.
"This place looks.interesting" Sadie said as she stood before a half painted building with a broken neon sign that read 'Captains'.
"Their hamburgers are really good, and really big." Michael said as the waitress led them to their seats. Sadie sat across from Michael, and studied his soft facial features.
"How come every guy I meet at one of these parties is always really cute?" Sadie asked Michael who started to blush.
"Nobody tells me I'm cute." He responded shyly
"I did"
"I know. You're really pretty"
"Feeling crazy?"
"What do you mean?"
"Feeling." Sadie said as she leaned forward, her face close to Michaels. She licked her lips seductively as she whispered into his ear, ".horny" then she licked his earlobe sensually, sending chills up and down Michael's back.
"That's hot"
"Thank you, Michael" Sadie said as she leaned back into the cushion on her booth seat. "Where do you live now?"
"Actually, I'm staying down here temporarily. I go to college out west a ways, Syracuse University." Michael responded passionately
"That's cool" Sadie said with a smile as she greeted the waiter
"Good evening my name is Nick." Pause. Sadie's face grew long and Nick shut his mouth. "Look Sadie."
"I would like a." Sadie started
"Sprite" Nick said as he filled in Sadie's order "and you sir?" Nick asked while glancing at Michael.
"Pepsi please" Michael said uneasily, feeling the tension between the two
"We only have coke, sir, would that be ok?"
"That's fine" Michael responded
"Are you her new boyfriend?" Nick asked daringly
"Nick please" Sadie said with a hint of an attitude
"No I'm not" Michael said
"Let me guess, a one night stand then?" Nick continued
"Nicholas stop"
"No" Michael said
"Look asshole, I don't want you around her anymore, hear me?" Nick continued
"Nick seriously, go away" Sadie pleaded
"She's with me, not you, me" Nick continued
"No I'm not, you're with my fucking mother now leave me the fuck alone before I bash this knife into your forehead asshole!" Sadie said while grabbing the butter knife and standing up in her seat
"Please do. Kill me so that I may live. I told you I loved you and you said the same to me. Why are you walking away from me now then? For something you saw in the department store? Huh? Is that it Sadie?" Nick screamed as Sadie continued her walk to the bathroom. "What the fuck are you looking at" Nick screamed at Michael who was quietly sitting in his seat. "Can't even stick up for her come on, be protective asshole" and Nick walked away to wait by the bathroom. When Sadie finally came out, she was greeted with a kiss. "I don't want your skank of a mother. I want you, Sadie" Nick said as Sadie pushed away from him.
"Don't touch me" She started "After that show you just put on out there, embarrassing me in front of my guest, screaming curses around and ruining others' dinner.kissing and groping my adopted mother in a department store. Who in their right mind would think I would want that in my life. Remember when you said." Nick interrupted her by kissing her again. She shook her head and walked away quickly. Nick tried to grab her arm but she was just out of reach, for the first time, she was unreachable by Nick.
"Ready Sadie?" Michael asked as he waited by the door, holding it open for Sadie.
"Look Michael, I'm really sorry about tonight. I want to explain to you so badly why he did that and why I said what I did." Sadie started
"You don't have to. You said it was a bad day, if you don't want to tell me then don't. I don't need an explanation. I'm perfectly fine, and so are you. Why don't we go do something else instead.park perhaps?" Michael suggested sincerely as he held open the passenger car door for her.
"Park sounds great Mike" Sadie said with a smile. As they were driving, Sadie felt a sudden urge to be close to someone like she was with Ryan that afternoon. She looked over at Michael who was intensely driving the car and smiled. She reached her hand over to his leg and rested her hand upon his knee. He looked down at it, and became nervous. She looked up at him, then moved her hand up towards his middle thigh. He didn't say a word or move. She moved her hand up to his inner thigh and felt the tension growing inside of him.
"You can only imagine how glad I am that she's not here."
"There's something I wanted to tell you Sadie." Jeremy began ".I have noticed lately that you've been keeping yourself very attractive."
"Thanks to Amanda" Sadie interrupted
"Yes, sure. Sadie, you are aware that I am only 23 years old." Jeremy began to say "and you're eighteen now. So that makes a five year difference I believe"
