my arm trying to get loose to no avail. The man had a death grip on my arm.
“Old recipes? You ate deer sausage, cheese, and crackers on a daily basis. I’m surprised you could take a crap with as much cheese as you ate.” I laughed as I remembered how he used to eat the first couple weeks before I took over the meals.
“Hey now, it was a balanced diet.” He replied indignantly. He pulled the hose around and aimed it at me, and I froze. He still had a hold of my arm so I couldn’t run away. “Now you have two choices.”
“What’s that?” I asked still trying to contain my laughter and eying the hose at the same time.
“Be hosed down until every inch of you is soaking wet or…” He trailed off, waiting for me to look at him.
“Or?” I caught my breath at the heated look in his eyes.
“Or, you give me a kiss.” He replied softly.
“A kiss?” When did I become a parrot?
“Your choice.” He held the hose up as a warning but he had a small grin on his face too.
“You want to kiss me?” The hose was long forgotten now.
“No, I want you to kiss me .” I kept looking at him, wondering where shy Nathan went. He wanted me to kiss him? I’ve never kissed a boy, or man, before. What can I say? I was never that into boys in high school. In college there weren’t any I was really interested in. Then when I started working, there weren’t any guys that showed an interest and that I had an interest in return. I wasn’t going to just go around kissing or jumping into bed with any guy. They had to earn my trust. Sadly, no one fit that bill. And the first time should be with someone you love. Again, sadly I’ve never been in love. Looking at Nathan…now, there’s a sweet guy. He let me stay with him, ok, hide out in his house. He was nice, good looking, not self-centered and I truly trusted the guy. So, one kiss? Sure, I could do that.
I stepped forward and Nathan’s eyes widened slightly. Did he not think I would do it? Oh well, I was committed now. I took one more step to close the distance and was just reaching up to touch his face when I heard it. A car was coming down the road. A split second later Nathan heard it too and pushed me toward a bush in the backyard. Our pending kiss was forgotten with the danger of discovery on the horizon. The yard was pretty well isolated and you could barely see the road now that all the trees were leafed out but Nathan wasn’t taking any chances. And I was perfectly ok with that.
Peeking through the bush, I saw two unknown black SUVs followed by a Sheriff’s car passing Nathan’s house. Going in the direction of my parents’ house. For some people, this may not seem so strange. To those of us who live in a rural area and can identify who’s passing just by the make and model of their vehicle, this was a very bad sign. Not to mention the sheriff’s car right behind them. My mind was racing to come up with some reason, anything, which would have two identical black SUVs with a sheriff’s car following that would be traveling down the gravel road on a Saturday, besides the obvious. Nothing came to mind besides looking for me. My breathing started coming faster and I was getting lightheaded. The cars were long gone but I couldn’t seem to pull myself up. I turned my head to look at Nathan, who was still soaked to the bone, and saw him staring off in the direction of the cars. He looked down at me and I could read his worry written all over his face. That was not comforting…at all.
Nathan stepped up to me and grasped my arm, pulling me up. Without a word, he led me inside and sat me down on the couch. He looked at me for a long second before speaking.
“Wait here. I’m going to change and call my parents.” I nodded numbly. Nathan turned with one final look and hurried downstairs. I just sat there, staring off into the
