Chapter 4- You Freak me out!
The light hit my eyes awakening me the next morning. I could hear the rain pattering against the glass. I had been trying hard to get out of the bed for a while but my body ached from my neck down. Not to mention I had a splitting headache. I sat myself up on the edge of the bed ready to stand up. Sitting there I was met with the smell of maple and cinnamon. It had been one of my favorite smells but I couldnt remember having a candle or insent that smelt of this.
A beautiful melody from an acoustic guitar played In the background and a voice so harmonic accompanied it. I tried but I couldnt make out any of the words.
"This doesn’t seem right," I thought to myself, "Hillary must have friends over.”
I tried to reassure myself, but I was beginning to sense a difference. I looked around me to find a hint of similarity but instead I was greeted with a room full of dark red walls and pictures of people, and places I didn't recognize. I threw myself back onto the bed. I was already begining to feel a little shaky. I looked toward the ceiling and found a sky light. I paniced, and the room begain to spin.
"What am I doing here?" I thought to myself. "How did I get here, what happened?, “ I begain to scream.
I looked down at myself and begain to pull at the white T-shirt and baggy cotton red night pants I am wearing, "These aren’t my clothes!"
All of a sudden everything stops, the music isn’t playing and I hear foot steps coming closer. The next thing I know Im being sat down by a guy whom I vaugley remember. He has a guitar strapped around his shoulder and a black cross around his neck.
Placing his hands on my shoulder he asks "Is everything okay? Can you calm down?"
"Calm down? You ask me to calm down? Try waking up In an apartment that’s not yours, A place you don’t know where you are. Be met by some guy you haven’t the slightest clue who he is and you calm down. I dont think so!" I scream In his face.
"Well you knew who I was last night, " he says jokingly with a smile.
"I what? Oh my god what did I do?" I cover my mouth wondering what I may have done, what there might be to regret.
"Woah you didn’t do anything" he tells me "I was only joking. God looking at you I didn’t think you would be so uptight"
Pushing his hands off my shoulders I tried to stand up."Well just looking at someone you’d think a lot of things but It doesn’t mean you’re right.Now if you dont mind id like to go home"
He keeps me sitting, "Now why should I let you do that?"
"Um I don’t know maybe because I don’t live here and making me stay against my will is kinda kidnaping and punishable by law,” I answer matter of factly.
"Damn no need to get all technical on me Adyn, “shaking his head he sits down next to me causing me to scoot over.
Putting my hand up I scoot further, "Okay that’s way freaky. I don’t know how you know my name but you better not have gone through my things. Speaking of my things, where are they?"
He points to a chair, “Right there, I had my brother's wife wash your clothes for you."
I quickly walk over to the chair and grab my coat searching my pockets contents to make sure nothing was missing.
"Go ahead, search I don’t mind. It’s all there Im not a thief, no one here is. Besides If I wanted to take anything Id take that cute little black thong I found last night." He jokes again.
Stopping my search I drop my jaw. Was I wearing a black thong last night? What was I wearing last night? I tried to remember but it hurt too much to think.
Taking off his guitar and laying it on his bed he stands up and grabs my hand, "Come on lets get you something for your hangover and if you want, some coffee or tea."
Pulling my hand back I throw one arm across my stomach and put my other hand over my eyes to block out the sun. Hesitantly i follow him down a long hall.
As we walk I realize what an amazingly beautiful apartment he has. The art, and the decor were amazing, I loved it. If I had walked into the apartment before meeting the guy I would have never guessed it was a male who lived there.
"He’s probably gay," I mumble to myself "either that or he’s let mommy decorate"
In the kitchen he sits me on a little black stool and hands me a bottle of water along with two Tylenol capsules. Taking them I watch him, there was something about this guy that seemed freakishly familiar. I had seen him before but I couldnt remember where. I tried hard to think back and then it hit me.Everything begins to flood back at once. The club, Hillary leaving, the cab ride, and the coffee house. I drop the glass onto the floor, and instantly feel sick. I pass out falling backwards from the seat onto the floor.
When I came to, I found an older guy standing over me, staring at me. I pull back and gasp.
"Dude your freaking her out, get away from her like that," the guy says pushing him aside.
He sits down beside me and with a concerned look ask's "You had quite a crash back there, you gonna be all right?"
I slightly shake my head, and try to sit up. Then just as quickly I lay back down grabbing the back of my head. The headache that I had before I passed out was now ten times worse. I reach behind my head to make sure im not bleeding, luckily no blood. I attempt to sit up again and he moves aside. I look at him and he smiles.
"What happened In there?"
"Im not really sure, but I think everything just hit me at once " I reply. "I mean the whole night, where I know you from and all"
"Ha you remember me huh? See dude I told you she'd remember me " he laughed talking to the guy who was once standing above me but was now sitting In the chair across the room.
"Yea dude it still doesn’t mean anything, get over yourself" he replied coldy.
I shake my head and blink my eyes as the pain starts to wear off. "I think Id like to get my clothes and go home now" I tell who I had remembered to be named Zac.
"All right if you feel like you can," Zac responds hesitantly standing up, "But uh..at least let me walk you or something so I know you make it okay. I wouldn’t want you to pass out along the way or something."
I look at him akwardly, "Uh yea, okay, I guess..."
He then pulls me up and leads me back to his room so I can change my clothes, only I don’t. I decide that I don’t want to walk In a dress In the rain. I end up borrowing the outfit I was leant and putting my parka on over it. With him carrying my clothes, we set out of his apartment. Walking down the stairs I become a bit dizzy but he grabs me before I fall.
"Now see," he tells me as he helps me out the door, "If I wouldn’t have come you would have fallen back there and probably be unconsious again. Ill take a thankyou any time now" He smirks with a smile on his face.
I just nod, unamused by his humor. I felt it was entirely to early in the morning for it.It’s a chilly day out, the leaves are blowing around and the sky is dark. Thankfully It was no longer raining. I almost felt stupid for not taking a cab, but after the night I remembered having I needed fresh air. Not only that but I wanted to find out who Zac was. After all what he was the guy that leant me his clothes and let me sleep In his apartment. Zac began to talk as we walked along the sidewalk and I watched as his lips moved. They were poutty and i found it to be kind of sexy. I was starting to like it. I also noticed the way his hair flowed, the smoothness and the shaggy cut.He had sex hair and wow, that’s all, just wow. Then there was his smile I couldn’t help but notice. No normal man id ever known had a smile like that. He reminded me of an old time sex god, only not so much In that sense.
"Oh my god Im doing it again," I think to myself looking away," Im totally checking this guy out like I did at coffee house, what the hell am I doing? "
Trying to pay attention I nod and walk. I think he’s catching on that I haven’t totally heard what he’s said to me, I can tell by the cricked smile he has on his face. I guess I should have seen what happened next.
"So yea last night was great," he says elbowing me lightly.
"Uh huh, yea awesome" I reply thinking about how stupid I am.
"Yea I mean you weren’t the best kisser, but you were definitely great In the sack. I mean woah, you had me worn out In 10 minutes, that’s a record!"
I stop In my tracks, "What!"
He begins to laugh hysterically, "See I knew you weren’t listening." Then he continues to walk ahead.
I run to catch up to him, "Wait are you kidding me? You keep making these references but ugh" I start to get upset.
"I guess you'll never know will you? That’s what you get for not listening. You should start from now on," he continues to laugh. He knows its bugging me, and he’s enjoying it.
"Tell me, come on, I gotta know. I don’t wanna risk popping out a kid to some guy I don’t even know I had sex with," I tell him.
He continues to laugh, “Nah. I don’t think that’s gonna happen"
We turn a corner and I give up asking , Im finding it’s a waste of time. On our walk to my apartment we pass star bucks, a book store, a furniture store and even an magic shop. I stare up at the sky as I walk watching the dark clouds keep rolling In. "God I hope it doesn’t rain again," I think to myself, accidently bumping Into Zac.He then bump’s me back.
"Ouch," I cry out slightly laughing and rubbing my arm.
He bumps into me with his shoulder again smiling his biggest smile yet. I admire his smile, god Is It gorgeous.
"Come on you enjoy It" he teases.
"If I weren’t In so much pain, Id enjoy it more you know?" I look away.
"Oh Im sorry next time I promise to be more gentle..Was it your first time or something?", he was at it again.
I smack him playfully, "Godd will you stop that? Your scaring me!"'
He begins to laugh hysterically, "Well you sit yourself up for it is all. Im the type of person that can’t avoid stuff like that. It nags at me. If you knew me, you’d know."
Rolling my eyes we come to another corner and I begin to cross the street. A car begins to speed down the hill, Zac reaches out and pulls me back on the curb putting his arm In front of me, "Watch it now! Didn’t your mother ever teach you to look both ways before crossing the street?"
I look at him my heart beating a mile a minute. I put my hand on my chest and try to regain my breath, "Im sorry I can’t believe I did that. Thank-you . . . "
We then cross the street together. As we get onto the next curb, I see Zac begin to run ahead and then him jump into a puddle causing his clothes to become soaked. I meet up with him as he turns around hair drenched and in his eyes. His shaggy hair cut looks ridiculous so I can’t help but laugh.
Covering my mouth trying hard not to show it I ask "Why did you do that?"
Beginning to walk again he responds, “To lighten to the mood. It’s not a big deal Ill dry"
He shakes his hair throwing water on me, ewww. I put my purse up as a shield put he pushes it back down.
"Too good to get wet?"
"No that water was muddy though, and well that’s just nasty" I eye him.
He stares back, and after a few minutes I break it.
"Your creeping me out," I say and walk on.
Pushing my hands into my parka I look around me at a group of twirling brown and red, crisp leaves on the ground. I love fall, Its one of the most beautiful seasons of all. The air smells of the rain from the storm that had just passed over head. The sky was starting to clear and the sun was beginning to shine through. This had the makings of a beautiful day.
The day passed quickly as Zac and I walked and talked. We didn’t even stay on the path to my apartment. Instead we ended up spending half the day together. It really wasn’t all that bad. We sat at a park and talked, he showed me a few of his favorite stores In town, and he even played the drums for me in a sound proof room at a music store. He had awesome skills. I could see myself talking to him more often. Maybe that night at the coffee house I misjudged him.
Speaking of the coffee shop, that’s where we ended up.
I sigh and take a sip of my hot tea, "So Zac.."
"So Adyn.." he crosses his arms leaning back in his seat.
"What now?" I ask.
"Oh I don’t know. I say we run off to Vegas and elope. What about you?" he sits back up.
I exam his face, “Excuse me?"
"Yea, we hit it off well, why not? " he then stares at me waiting for a response only I don’t answer.
I slowly grab my coat thinking he’s crazy and begin to inch my way out of my seat.
"Where you going?" he laughs.
"The bathroom?" I say quietly
"With your jacket? Toward the exit?" he asks looking toward the door and then back at me.
"How do you know that’s where Im going?" I become defensive.
He bursts out laughing, “Oh come on!"
I sigh as he continues to laugh at me. I begin to feel uncomfortable.
I watch as he runs his fingers through his shaggy hair, "Tell me something about you"
"Like what? I don’t know what to tell you" I put my hands onto the table taping it.
"Like are you single? Do you have kids? How old are you?" he goes on and on with questions.
I finally interrupt, "Yea okay I get it. Im 19, just out of a relationship and no kids. Am I fat or something? Why would you ask If I have kids?" I stare at him.
"Well I have to check these things. Its New York you know? Girls here are wiiilllld"
I nod my head and lean In putting my chin on my hand. He does the same and we are eye to eye. It becomes a staring match. We sit like this for a good three minutes when finally It’s broken by my cell phone ringing.
"Hello?" I awnser.
"Adyn, Where are you?" it was Hillary and shes pissed at me as usual.
"Out . . . why?" I ask rolling my eyes.
"Why the fuck didn’t you come back to the apartment? Who's that In the background? Adyn Im worried tell me what’s going on!" she starts to scream at me.
"Look Hillary why does it matter? Im okay, It’s not like I’ve missed anything important"
"Adyn It’s already 7p.m. and I have shit to do, you need to get home so I can go out. Im waiting for a package and I need you here to pick it up." She demands.
I hang up the phone and shake my head.
"What’s going on?” Zac asks.
"I have to go. My room mate needs me to come home and wait for a package,” I stand up and go for my jacket again.
He grabs it pulling it back, "Come on stay! Talk to me, It’s her package make her wait"
"I really can’t Zac." I persist
"No, No come on sit down," He stands up, walks over to me and sits me back down In my chair. He takes my coat so I can’t leave.
I lean back into my chair, arms crossed and legs sticking out into the walkway.
"Get over it. She'll live Ayd" he grabs my arm and pulls me around to face him.
I tapp my foot on the floor, and move my hair out of my eyes.
Zac clasps his hands together on the table, "No need to be so difficult. It’s just a package, why are you so hostile?"
I continue to give him the silent treatmesnt.
"Fine be that way, I can sit here for hours until you talk."
So we sit in silence then he catches the time, "OH DAMN! Look Adyn, " he reaches across the table going for my hand but I pull it back, "I have to go make this call, stay here"
I watch as he walks away. As soon as he is out of site, I grab my jacket putting it on. Grabbing a pen from one of the pockets I snatch the napkin under his cup. I write a small message and then leave it folded in the center of the table where he will see it. Then as quickly as I can, I head for the door.
A beautiful melody from an acoustic guitar played In the background and a voice so harmonic accompanied it. I tried but I couldnt make out any of the words.
"This doesn’t seem right," I thought to myself, "Hillary must have friends over.”
