Chapter 5

While I got all done up I heard Adam on the phone but I really couldn't understand what he was saying. When I came out of the bathroom and checked my reflection in the full-length mirror, I must say that I was looking pretty damn good. I had on a short plaid skirt, knee high black leather boots, and a short white button down shirt with a black tank top underneath it. When I looked over at Adam he was reading the card that was with the roses. I ran over to him and snatched it away.

"When did you get these Savvy?"

"Earlier today."

"Well do you know who they're from?"

"No I don't, I wish I did though… whoever sent them seems to be right up my alley. Sweet, caring and thoughtful."

"Well if I hear anything I'll let you know"

"Yea, okay thanks." I said walking toward the door "Come on lets go I'm ready to go are you?"

"Yea" Adam said smiling slyly.

It was good for me to get out of that room. I had a lot of fun I was dancing and just having an overall good time. I went to the bar to get a cranberry juice, keeping with my promise to everyone to stop drinking, when I looked over at Adam. He was sitting at the table where I left him, but now he was with a few other people. One of them had black hair; one of them had bright purple hair. I recognized them as Matt and Jeff. I hadn't seen them since my accident. The only one I didn't recognize was a woman… a woman with long red hair. I went over to the table and sat down next to Jeff.

"Hey guys I haven't seen since…well it's been a while." I said

"Yea hey Savannah how's it goin?" asked Matt

"It's good I'm getting my life back together just like I promised Adam here"

"Hey Savannah by the way…this is Amy. Amy this is Savannah, Adams sister"

"Hi Savannah nice to meet you" Amy said

"Very nice to meet you too Amy."

"Hi" a small voice said next to me

I turned my head and met a pair of beautiful green eyes.

"Hi Jeff…it's good to see you again. I've missed you"

"I've missed you too how have you been?"

"I'm doing a lot better thanks to you." I said

"Well it's not me it's because of your brother."

"Yea but you're the one who…saved me."

"Well it was nothing…hey do you wanna dance?""Oh yea I love this song!"

Jeff and I got up and headed to the dance floor, I had just started to get down with my bad self when it turned to a slow song. I turned to go back to the table when Jeff grabbed my hand.

"Are you afraid to slow dance with me?'

"Well…I…uh…ummm…"

"Don't worry Savannah, I don't bite…hard" He said smiling slyly at me

I laughed and turned to slow dance with him and I swear that to this day I felt a jolt of electricity run through me as he touched me around the waist. As we danced, I tried to break the stare but I just couldn't. The clash of blue eyes to green, the smell of his cologne mixed with sweat intertwining with my perfume intoxicated me.

"Ya know Savannah, ever since I met you, I feel like I have this bond with you…this closeness. I feel as if I've known you forever. I don't know."

"Well Jeff I think that's sweet of you to say, but I don't know if I feel the same way. Here I am trying to get my life back together, trying to make something happen and now I've got you telling me this and I have a secret admirer apparently. I just think that I need to slow down and take things one at a time."

"That's fine I understand but I felt like I needed to tell you." Jeff said, "So you have a secret admirer huh? What did you get? Anything good?"

"Well whoever he is he knows my favorite roses, champagne, and he sent me a beautiful poem with it. I just can't believe that there are people out there who still know how to treat a girl"

"Yea" Jeff said slyly "some guys just have that kind of smarts"

"Well Jeff I think I had better get going Adam looks like he's getting pretty trashed."

"Yea I understand…do you have a ride home?"

"Yea Adam brought his car and ooohhh baby I can't wait to drive that thing."

"Oh so I'm guessing that he brought the mustang right?"

"Oh yea baby man do I love that car but I've never driven it. I can't wait. Well Jeff maybe I'll see you around."

"Yea I'll be seeing you soon Savannah"

I wondered what he meant when he said 'seeing you soon' it really perplexed me. I quickly put that thought out of my head as I got into the drivers' seat of the car. Man I love that car, '67 Shelby GT 500 mustang, grey with black racing stripes. It looks like Eleanor in the movie "gone in 60 seconds" I drove back to the hotel and put Adam in bed and went back to my hotel room. When I got there, there was another bouquet of roses waiting for me outside my door. I picked them up and brought them inside and sat them next to the ones that I had gotten previously. I picked up the card and read it.

"Savannah…

Here I am again...tired from not sleeping...Sad from not loving. I feel miserable again...here on this plane...Here on this earth. I've done it again...I stayed out all night. I feel it again...I dread this flight. Why? Because I'm sick...Sick of being owned... I write because I'm sick...Sick of being known. If I was normal...Would she like me the same? If I was just a stock boy...Would she still enjoy my name? I'd like to think she does and would...I believe in her and believe in me she should. I'm gonna lean my head against this window...Close my eyes and go to sleep. I'll wake up in the next town...With thoughts beyond deep. The days will go by as I will just act. As the days go by I can only look back...At the good times...the fun. At the bad times...the fun. I wonder if she misses me as much as I miss her...I wonder if she waits to see me...I wonder if she waits? I'd like to think she did and would...I believe in her and believe in me she should.

Always yours,

Me"

"Man" I said out loud "I really wish I could figure out who this is and how they know how to touch me like he does."And with that thought on my mind I turned out the light and curled up in bed and went to sleep.
