I debated going up to the door and knocking just to give him a piece of my mind about the hooker money he had left me. After looking in those eyes when I first woke up after falling on my face, and the gentle way he spoke to me, it was so surprising to me that he would do something like that. But I still had the stupid hundred dollar bill attached to my fridge for proof. I wondered how he would react if I just showed up unexpectedly. I didn't even know if he was home, since I couldn't see the cabin from my viewpoint. Would he be mad? Would he think I was spying on him again and be incredibly pissed off? Would he tie me up again and teach me another 'lesson'? That thought had me squirming in my seat when I remembered how it felt to have Colby sitting in the corner of the room watching us that first night.
But, no. I couldn't do it. I couldn't just go and knock on his door. I reminded myself for the millionth time that I was pissed at him. I was just turning the key in my ignition when I saw a car approach and slow down before turning into his long driveway.
A woman!
Dammit. Figures. What did I expect? That he was going to be hanging out and thinking about poor little me being miserable without him? Of course not. He was a freakin' biker, for fuck's sake! Of course he would have a woman visiting him! He probably had a different woman every night.
It was then that I remembered what I was doing out here. I was supposed to be looking for something interesting to write about. As far as I was concerned now, it had just arrived.
Throwing all caution and good sense (if I ever had any in the first place) to the wind, I turned my car around and parked in the same hiding spot I had used before. Winding my way through the trees, I hid behind the largest one I could find and quietly watched his house. I jumped when another car arrived. The crunch of it's tires on the gravel alerted the occupants of the house and I watched as the front door opened and the first woman and River came out to greet the driver of the second car.
“It's about time you showed up!” River called from the front porch.
Another woman! So, River wasn't just satisfied with one woman? He needed two? Of course he did. A man like River could probably take on a whole army of women if he wanted. I'm sure there wasn't a shortage of recruits, after all.
I watched, miserable and angry, as all three of them hugged each other and walked laughing and arm and arm inside the cabin. They were beautiful, that was for sure. Long blonde hair cascaded down both of their backs, leading down to their perfect tight little yoga asses. They looked like a couple of Barbie dolls! The first one was wearing a flowery sundress and the second one was wearing tight jeans that hugged her body like a second skin. River was wearing nothing but jeans, his amazing body on display and apparently ready for action.
I wished now I had never ended up here. Music and laughter poured out of his windows as I stood there dumbfounded and even more miserable than I had been when I arrived. So much for all the progress I had made in the last few days.
Once again, my curiosity got the better of me, and despite my misery, my feet began shuffling quietly across the pine needles covering the ground between the trees I was hiding behind and River's cabin. I was just going to have a little peek. Trying to brace myself for the worst, I inched up to the living room window, attempting to peer in without them seeing me.
They looked like a damned happy family. Smiles spread across their faces as they spoke to each other animatedly. River was opening a bottle of wine. A bottle of wine! Barbie Number One was pulling pots and pans out of the cabinets and Barbie Number Two was rifling through the pantry for food. Obviously, they were planning on making dinner.
Wine and dinner!
I would have been less hurt if I caught them going at it like rabbits, but no,
