I got the text that said I need to talk to you. Do you have time to meet me somewhere? Depends on what we are discussing I stated. Business, he said casually. Okay fine, you can meet me at the park in 30 minutes. You know the one close to my house over by the school? See you there he said.
What the hell did he want? Why now after all this time. There was absolutely nothing that I knew that he didn't know already. And if there was information that he needed about friends that I had been helping, he was not going to get it. I had to have loyalty somewhere.
That's the way it has been. Always being nice to me and flirting and leading me on; knowing damn well that I was starved for attention that I was not getting at home. Having sex is not something I considered true intimate attention. Anyone can have sex. Hookers have sex all the time if there are any good at their profession.
Ugg, I thought to myself, well time to walk the dog and find out what that shit head wanted. Part of me was jumping for joy because he needed me, the other half was like pshhh, girl get a grip, and he is just playing you for a fool.
I wanted attention, any kind of attention from him; he lit me up like a Christmas tree whenever I was around him. He was a drug and I wanted a fix so badly, I wanted to feel that high even if it was just for a little while.
And out the door I went with my German Shepard proudly leading the way. I took my time, no reason to hurry, I would be there in 30 minutes even if I drug my feet. As I got closer to the park my heart started to speed up as if I was having a slight anxiety attack. Fuck I hate this, fuck I hate wanting him, fuck I hate that he even texted me. Why could he just not leave me to suffer in silence?
And there was his car parked in the parking spots at the park. I could make out from a distance that he was waiting in his air conditioned comfort and appeared to be looking at his phone. No surprise there, he is always checking that damn thing like it is his life line. Well I was going to be a bitch and request that he leave it in the car if he wanted to talk to me.
Trying to get myself under control as my dog perked his ears forward as I got closer to the car. He could sense that I was uptight and he wanted to be on top of any potential danger. Not that my dog would know what to do in that kind of situation as he has never had to protect me. Usually just seeing a German Shepard is enough to detour anyone from getting too chummy.
Well so it begins, he saw me and I am wondering if I should just say fuck you and turn around and walk away from him; just to prove a point. I want to so badly and my brain is saying do it girl, give him something to think about and show him who's boss. Let him know that you are too good for him and that he is not worth the dirt under your feet.
My heart is screaming no! There he is in his splendor, fuck he looks yummy as usual. He casually looks at his phone again while he nonchalantly walks over to me. He is acting like there is nothing new in the world between us and it's as if he never read my last email telling him that I didn't want to talk to or text him anymore because I loved him and he was a drug and I was his addict.
Hey he grins with a chuckle, how's it going? I see a little color in his cheeks; he must feel slightly embarrassed I start to think. Fine, I state as my heart is pounding with adrenaline and my feet are screaming run away. There is a threat and your flight or fight mechanism says flee this situation right now! It's good to see you again I stammer as I keep my gaze on the ground. I am not about to give him an inch. Yeah he chuckles, likewise. You are looking good he says, staying out of trouble?
Let's cut through the small talk Trevor I state. What do you want from me? At this point I can't believe that came out of my mouth. His wide eyed look tells me that he feels like he has just been slapped across the face and is not sure how to deal with it. I look him directly in the eye this time and I feel my eyes start to well up with tears. Fuck I hate this, why do I need to cry? What the hell is wrong with me?
Let's go over to the shade he says as he motions toward the picnic area where the tables are empty. Okay I said and I pulled Wiley away from his investigative sniffing of Trevor's pant legs and head that way. I can feel his eyes on my back, well I guess I hope that is where they are at and not glued to his damn phone. Phone, right, I stop and turn to look at him. He has his phone in his hand. If you want to talk to me, put the phone away.
He looks a little miffed and tucks it into his hip pocket. Then I turn back around to my course. Now I feel his eyes boring a hole into my back. I pick a table that is in the shade and park my ass on the bench and tell Wiley to sit. He sits for a moment before he is back on his feet looking around for trouble or something to investigate. I put the hand hold around my wrist so he can't run off at any given moment.
Trevor sits across me at the table and looks directly into my eyes. I then take the initiative and ask why we are here. What do you need to know? Obviously this is not a social call to tell me that you have feelings for me too and that we are going to work it out because you can't live without me. Slap! There it is again. He is stunned. I am wondering if he going to get up and leave this time. I am being a bitch but I just can't help myself.
Liz, he says quietly. I hate it when he calls me that. My full name is Elizabeth and that is generally what everyone refers to me as. When he does, he knows that it strokes my heart and softens me. My hands are in the middle of the table and he reaches over and takes them in his. What the fuck is he doing my head screams, get the fuck off! My heart is melting in pools of soft warm liquid and pouring like a fountain. I want to jerk my hands back but I want to leave them there.
Ugg! I hate myself, why am I allowing this to happen? All he is going to do is turn me into putty and I am going to smoosh through the diamond grate I am setting on and he is going to leave me there because he does not want to clean up the mess. I stare at our hands together and he separates them one in each hand. Our palms are together our finger tips are resting on each other's wrists.
I know how you feel about me he mumbles; and I need to confess to you. Oh shit here it comes, why couldn't he just leave me alone? Why did he need to bring me here to embarrass me out in public? I look into his eyes and he says: I am sorry. Oh great, here comes the letdown; but I don't feel the same way about you.
For what Trevor, I asked? This time he was looking down and said: for not being the kind of friend that I should have been, for letting you down so many times, for casting the one person aside that had my back and really cared about me. Beg pardon, I stated, am I hearing this right? He looks up at me and he is dead serious with a look of contrition. Oh shit, I cannot take those puppy dog eyes. All my resolve for letting him have it went out the window or in this case away on the breeze.
I do want you he said. I don't want to be without you. I know it's been awhile, but do you still care about me? I must have been sitting there with my mouth open and a look of disbelief on my face. Yes, I do care about you I said. I said that I loved you and I meant it. I never changed my feelings for you; I have always been transparent with you to a fault. I always felt that you were secretly laughing at me and having a good time at my expense.
Which is why, I said getting up removing my hands from his and looking around suspiciously, are you pulling something today too? Now he looked confused and a little hurt. He stood up and came to stand in front of me. Towering over me he looked down and locked gazes with me as I earnestly looked into his face. What can I do to prove to you that I am serious? What the hell I thought, lets push this to the max.
Kiss me Trevor, like you love me and I am the only woman that you want. Well if you insist he said with a sly turn up of the corner of his mouth and then his head lowered toward mine as my heart was once again racing crazily. Then it happened. His arms were around me and Wiley was wrapping around our legs tying us together with his leash. His hands were pressing my body into his and I had waited so long for this moment.
One hand still held Wiley's leash and the other snaked up around the back of his neck. He pushed me back against the table we were sitting at and I was forced to slide my backside up on the table top. He pushed in between my knees and soon I was straddling him. His lips were heavy on mine and his tongue forced its way into my mouth. I tasted the tell take sign of the menthol cigarettes that he liked to smoke and I was losing myself with the sweet motion of his kissing.
My eyes were closed savoring the sensations and my head was tilted back. I was lost in reckless abandon as he continued to kiss me passionately. His lips left mine and I was disappointed for a moment before I was again sent into shockwaves of pleasure. His mouth traveled down my jaw to my neck and collar bone. Sweet nips of his teeth and his tongue tasting my skin were driving me mad. I felt a jab to the inside of my thigh through my jeans and discovered that he was erect and pushing against me.
