evening. She quickened her pace, wary of the dark and still streets. Nor a car in sights, not a porch light to light her way, nothing. That just went further to reinforce her previous thoughts that she had gone insane. What was she doing on a dark street, when everyone else was safe in their home? Why hadn’t she gone to bed or stayed in it, as it was the case here. He did not deserve a second thought, much less for someone to get up in the middle of the night to go check up on him. He didn’t deserve her to feel guilty about what happened. But no, SHE, the woman he hated most in the world, the reason why he got hit in the first place, well she wasn’t really the reason, he truly did deserve the right punch he had received, she had to leave the comfort of her bed and walk all the way across town to check on the insufferable jerk. Even now, almost having reached her destination, she had no idea as to what compelled her to do such a stupid thing. She was definitely insane; her brain seemed to have died lately.
“I am an idiot.” She said out loud
Despite knowing she was making a mistake, she kept on walking, clenching her car keys in between her fingers, small security, but it made her feel safer. Why did she have to leave her car at the hall and hitched a ride with James, today of all days. Why couldn’t she have waited till morning to make sure he was ok, better yet, why did she even care whether he was ok? Walking in the city at night was not adventurous, it was plain stupid; damn she truly was an imbecile. She buried her nose in the thick turtleneck of her black sweater, trying to hide. Invisible was good. She kept on walking. Soon she reached the address she had gotten from the phone book. The house looked dark and dangerous in the deep of the night. The porch steps creaked as she went up. It took all the nerves and courage she had left to ring the doorbell. . The ringing was louder then she expected and she jumped in surprise. She looked around; afraid she may have woken up the neighbors. No. She sighed deeply, relieved. She waited a minute, and then hesitated before ringing the bell again. She heard a crash, quickly followed by a muffled groan. Quickly, she turned around and was ready to escape when the door opened violently behind her.
“What the hell do you want?”
He slurred, his eyes, well the one she could see anyway, was puffy and red, and he wasn’t too steady on his feet. She suddenly realized he was completely drunk. Oh my! She thought, what had she gotten into.
“Well, well; if it isn’t the men eater. What can I do you for this evening? Couldn’t find a poor sucker to relieve your baser instinct, so you came to me?”
He laughed loudly and kept staring, looking her up and down. He licked his lips in an overacted gesture.
“Wanna come in?”
She hesitated. What was she doing here, what could she tell him. Her little lecture prepared as she was trying to get some sleep escaped her. She tried to tear her gaze away from his naked chest, try to remember something, anything. All she could think of was that he was wearing nothing but a pair of jeans riding low on his hips, his feet were bare, his chest…shaking her head, she closed her eyes and tried to regain her cool.
“I…I…I, well I…”
“You what?” he barked.
“Nothing. Sorry, I made a mistake coming here. I should not be here.” She turned around ready to run away.
“Nah, iss ok. You wanted to nurse me back to good health? Or should I say good looking?” He laughed as if his lame joke was the funniest thing he had ever heard.
She shook her head and prepared to leave, when he grabbed her arm, pulled her over the threshold and slammed the door behind her.
“You came all the way here, might as well try and tell me why.” He stated logically.
Eva pulled away from his grasp, she seemed to be doing an awful lot of that lately, and backed away from him, until she was stopped by the door behind her.
