rearview mirror to make sure she could back out when she spotted the van. 
    “Is it the same one?” she mumbled to herself.  She slowly backed up and pulled out of the parking lot.  To her dismay, the van followed.  “Well the hell?” she hollered into the vehicle.  Being by herself, she picked up speed and weaved her way through the town, cutting corners so fast that it would make a person’s head spin. 
    When she turned down Damian’s driveway, she was set to not pull into his driveway until she was certain the van was gone.  She looked in her mirror and saw that only a white Camaro followed her.  She slowed down and breathed a sigh of relief.  She pulled into his driveway, put her car in park, and shut it off.  She grabbed her purse and got out of the car.  She hurried up to the door and found it was unlocked.  She opened it up, then peeked out the window when she had shut the door.
    The van wasn’t there.  “Hey, Babe…everything alright?”
    She jumped when she heard Damian’s voice.  She turned to look at him and was surely showing a face of someone that was caught.  “Um…everything’s perfect.”  She walked over to him and gave him a kiss.
    He smiled, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her to him.  His tongue slid across hers, and she moaned softly.  “What do you want to do today on my day off?” he asked, gently caressing her lips with his thumb while staring into her eyes.
    She smiled back.  She wanted to jump back in bed, but the reality was she needed to spend every waking moment packing.  “Actually, I thought we should spend some time packing today.”
    She laughed, pulling back from his embrace.  He frowned.  “Packing?  For what?”
    She hadn’t gotten around to telling him that she was moving, but she didn’t think it was really any life-shattering news.  “I’m moving in with Ana.  We got a place together.  Didn’t I tell you?”
    He shook his head.  “No.” He opened his mouth like he wanted to argue with her and tell her she shouldn’t keep things from him, then realized that she had no reason to tell him.  They weren’t in a committed relationship, so he closed his mouth.  “That’s good news.” He then furrowed his eyebrows.  “Isn’t Ana the one that just recently moved in with her boyfriend?”
    She nodded, again realizing there was so much he didn’t know about her life.  “Things didn’t work out like she hoped,” she quietly stated, shrugging nonchalantly.  “So…does that mean you’ll help pack?”
    He laughed.  “Somehow I have a hard time believing I really have a choice.”
    “There’s always a choice.  I can’t force you to do anything you don’t want to.  You’re not my boyfriend or anything.”
    He smiled, almost gleaming.  “So, if I was your boyfriend then you could force me to do it?”
    She shrugged.  “I wouldn’t go that far, but let’s just say this…” she moved in closer to him and brushed a soft kiss against the corner of his mouth.  “I’d be forever grateful if you helped me pack and move.”  Her lips went to his, and she pushed her tongue through.  He groaned, bringing his hands down to her ass and squeezing hard. 
    “You drive a hard bargain,” he moaned against her lips.
    “That’s not the only hard thing,” she teased. She reached her hand down and cupped Damian’s crotch.  He groaned, and she snickered.  “We’ll be back before you know it.”  She dropped her hand and turned away from him, despite his obvious plea for her to change her mind.  He slowly followed her, and they made their way out of his house and to both of their cars.  She didn’t have a lot to transport, but anything they could get done would make things that much easier.  Then they could make it back to his place and continue finding ways to please one another.
