Up Close and Personal
I was a nervous wreck as I blow-dried my hair that night. I had just gotten out of the shower, preparing for my guests to arrive. Since they were guys, I kept myself conservative and put on some long pink pajama pants, a white tank top and a long sleeved black jacket. Once my hair was dry, I pulled it up into a ponytail and then brushed my teeth. I wondered if having these guys over here by myself was a good idea, so I invited Melissa over for the little party.
Luckily she was the first to arrive. I needed to calm my nerves and she knew just how to do that.
"Girl don't take too many shots…we don't want our guests thinking that you're an alcoholic." She said as she watched me drink my third shot of Tequila. Ok so I wasn't that innocent of a girl, but how can I be when I have a father like Stone Cold? The guy treated me like a princess, but whenever he was gone…I had good times. I had done just about everything including losing my virginity to Shawn...He was an awful experience…something I wasn't planning on doing again. The two of us had gotten drunk one night at his house and one thing led to another…eww.
"I'm sorry Melissa, I'm just so nervous for some reason. Those guys didn't look friendly at all." I said as I closed the bottle of tequila and ran upstairs to go brush my teeth yet again. She followed me while giggling.
"Serena you're overreacting. I'm sure these guys won't be that bad." She said. "Besides…you shouldn't judge a book by its cover."
I rolled my eyes, "Oh please, you should really try following your own advice Melissa."
She laughed just before we heard my doorbell ring. I took a deep breath and then headed downstairs, with her close behind me.
"Ok girl, remember, act natural." She whispered before I looked through the peephole. I rolled my eyes when I saw Shawn's finger pressed up against it…as usual.
I shook my head and unlocked the door, opening it with a smile. "Shawn…how many times do I have to tell you to stop covering my peephole?"
He laughed, "Only a few more times after tonight like usual."
I smiled and then turned my attention to his tall friends from next door. The biker guy had his long hair pulled into a low ponytail and had on black sweatpants and long sleeved black shirt. He still wore his black sunglasses, although it was dark outside. Interesting…I wonder what he was hiding under there. To complete his look he had a blue bandana tied around his head. It was pretty hot if you ask me.
As for the big guy…he was wearing a black beater with a pair of grey sweatpants.
"Uh, hello there." I said timidly.
Shawn smiled and glanced back at them, "Serena, this is Mark and Mr. Wright."
"Mr. Wright? You don't have a first name?" I asked.
He smirked, "I do, but I like Mr. Wright better."
Melissa smiled, "That's cool."
I smiled, "Uh ok, well this is my best friend Melissa, you guys can come in."
They both smirked to themselves as they walked passed me. I caught a hint of Mark's body wash and nearly melted. He smelled do freaking good…
I led them to the living room after closing and locking my door. Melissa took a seat on the floor while I sat on one end of the couch. Mark sat next to me and Mr. Wright took a seat in the big arm chair. Shawn sat on the floor next to Melissa making her smile. I knew she had a crush on him but it really didn't bother me.
"So…tell me about yourselves." I said to break the ice.
Mark smirked and looked at me, but didn't say anything. In fact he barley spoke the entire night he was there. Mr. Wright entertained us with his funny stories of his childhood but Mark just sat there with his arms folded and…his eyes locked on me. At first I wasn't certain if he was really watching me or not until I got up to go to the kitchen during a movie. He looked at me as I got up and left the room, sending odd chills down my spine.
While I was in the kitchen, the house phone rang. I sighed and answered the one hanging on the wall.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Hey honey, what are you doing?" my dad asked.
I smiled and hit the speakerphone button, "Oh nothing just watching some movies with Melissa."
"Oh alright then. I'm sorry I wasn't home when you got there." He said. "I literally got the call when you were at school so I didn't have time to tell you."
"It's alright dad I'm fine." I said, not noticing the figure standing in my doorway. "I understand you have an important job."
"Well that's good…anyways I hope this doesn't bother you but I have to stay here an extra day or two." He said.
I gasped, "What? Why dad?"
He sighed, "Listen, they've got autograph signings here and plus I think someone is after me."
"Really? Who's after you?" I asked, remembering Shawn's story.
"The Undertaker and the Big Show. They are dangerous men Serena so make sure you're careful around the house ok?"
I smiled at the sound of concern in his voice. "Ok dad."
"Alright well you take it easy. I love you ok?" he said.
"I love you too." I said.
Once he hung up, I hit the end button and hung the phone back up. I then sighed and poured myself some apple juice before turning and seeing Mark standing in the doorway. I was so startled by his appearance that I dropped my glass and it shattered.
"Shit." I said before grabbing a dish towel.
He walked into the room and bent down, picking up the glass with his hands. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."
His voice took me off guard for a moment. It was deep and sexy…and really turned me on.
I bent down and started drying the apple juice up. "It's alright."
As I patted the ground, he looked up at me. I pretended not to notice at first but gave myself away when I glanced at him and started smiling. When I was about to get up, he reached out and gently grabbed my arm. His thumb slowly traced over my skin before he turned my hand over to look at it.
"You've got glass in your hand." He said softly before gently pulling it out of my finger.
"Wow…I didn't even notice." I said to him as he brought my finger to his mouth and gently sucked the blood from it. Although something like that was kind of gross…I found it really sexy. I bit my bottom lip as he gently released my hand.
"Uh…thank you." I said as we both stood up.
"You're welcome." He said before tossing the broken glass into the garbage. I turned and placed the towel in the sink. I listened as he walked towards me.
"So…why have you been so quiet all night." I asked.
He didn't answer at first; instead, he simply placed his hands on my waist and turned me around to face him. I nearly trembled at how tall he was compared to me but his looks had me pretty much glued to my spot.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
He smirked a little before gently tracing my face with his fingertips. "Admiring your beauty, I've never seen someone so gorgeous in my entire life."
I dropped my gaze from him for a moment before he reached up and let my hair down. He then ran his fingers through them, making my eyes roll to the back of my head. I loved it when people, particularly men, played with my hair. I knew I needed to stop him before I ended up on my back and underneath him…
"Um…please don't do that." I said as I reached up and grabbed his wrist.
He smiled, "Why not? Are you scared?"
I gave his words some thought for a moment, "I don't understand the question. Are you asking me if I'm afraid of you…or something else?"
He smirked and then gently tilted my head back. I closed my eyes as his lips pressed against my neck. A soft moan left me as I sighed with pleasure. His lips were so smooth and warm against my flesh. What the hell was he trying to do to me?
Once his lips were done exploring my neck, he released his grip on my hair and looked deep into my eyes.
"You know what I'm asking…so I'll ask you again….Are you scared?" he said as his lips slowly pressed against mine.
I got nervous as his body pressed up against mine. I could feel his hard erection through his sweatpants, making my body quiver with curiosity. I then remembered that I had just met this guy…and hardly knew him.
"I'm not sure if I can answer your question just yet. I barley know you Mark." I said as I gently pushed him backwards.
He grinned and then kissed my forehead, "Clever girl…perhaps I'll visit more often when daddy dearest isn't around."
I smirked, "Perhaps you should."
He ran his fingers through my hair once more before lifting my chin with his fingers, "You might want to be careful Serena. Everything I want…I get."
Without another word, he released me and headed back into the living room with the others. I hadn't noticed before but my body was steaming hot now. Man…he sure knew how to talk to women…if only I knew more about him before my next encounter with him.
