Rentic took a deep breath of the cold night city air as he slide out of the leather seat of his car. He was more then relieved that the night was going to hold nothing special. Not that he scorned the Vampire lifestyle, nothing but wild nights out and ending in a sensual meal of hot fucks and more importantly blood. There was down time though and tonight was one of those nights. Rentic had decided he wanted to go to Best Buy and get some new Cd's along with checking out stereo systems for his newly acquired XF 2010 Jaguar. The car had been a gift from Elizabeth his on and off girlfriend for the last 26 years, it felt like 1,000 but he never let that spill from his lips. It would have been perfect except for the fact Andon wanted him to stop off at Target and get him a few things. Rentic agreed only because as lame as it sounded he always seemed to find a good "distraction" whenever he did these little household errands. Tasha was proof of this.
He shut his door with ease and pushed the button on his key ring to lock it up and walked into Target, already readying his senses to "scout" out a nice meal.
"It is a horrid thought that the highlight of my day is going to Target." Thought Gem to herself as she went through the automatic doors. Coming here was a weekly routine. Whether it be for diapers, toys, clothes, shoes, or shampoo she always ended up here. "God my life is pathetic." She said under her breath. She grabbed the nearest cart at the entrance of the store and headed to her right reciting to herself everything she needed from this trip. She decided to take her time it wasn't often she got to shop without a kiddo to run after or constantly answering the questions of her always curious 4 year old. Today she had personal items to pick up and of course a gift for a baby shower that happened to be her sisters. She roamed through different aisles taking her time picking things out and by the time she was done she had almost forgotten about a baby gift and she quickly made her way down the aisle for it.
It was busy, being a Saturday night she should have known that, the lines were ridiculously long. She blew a frustrated sigh from her lips rolling her eyes at nothing in particular, just a sigh of frustration. She leaned on the bar of her cart stretching her back a little, by dipping her back low, creating a upside down bridge, and sticking her bottom out, she felt a rush of heat to her face when she realized her ass mashed against something when she stuck it out. She immediately straightened out and whipped around to face whomever space she just invaded with her ass.
She looked up to a 6'3 man. Her own dark brown eyes worked from the top of his head and down. His hair was a dark chestnut brown that was long enough to be tied back at the nape of his neck a few strands strayed a fell across his eyes, his jawline was chiseled perfectly it was slightly squared but not enough to be unappealing. His eyes were a bright ocean blue with just a hint of green around the pupil. Nose was perfectly sculpted, not to large not to small, lips full. The upper lip had perfect contour arching up on both sides slightly before dipping into his "cupid's bow". The lower lip was even more impressive so full and suckable, and dare she think it, bit-able. Her eyes wandered a little lower noting his neck, that had a nice bump for his Adam's apple but not overly big. He must have been around 26 or so from the look of it, his skin was pale, but it didn't look unhealthy, just striking. It seemed to fit him oddly. Gem's eyes looked the rest of him over quickly as she realized she was staring and then looked back up, her whole face crimson.
"Oh my god, I am so sorry. I was just...stretching." She laughed nervously, it coming off way to loud and she wanted to sink in the ground. The man's lips were curled into a smirk-ish grin and he laughed easily seemingly not at all effected.
"Not at all. It was an accident, no worries. No little one to run after today I see." He tilted his head looking her over a friendly smile on his face. Gem regarded the statement with a little confusion before it fully hit her.
"How the hell could I forget?" She thought to herself. Still blushing hotly she shook her head and replied, "Not today, his dad is watching him. Giving me a little break." She licked her lips nervously the memory of her first meeting him flooding back. The day had been a bad one, fighting with Bryant and then on top of it all having to shop. Caleb gave her a run for her money right off the bat, as most 2 year old's do. She was tired and just about had it when Caleb ran away again and found a gorgeous red-head's leg to attach him to. The kind of girl that made everyone else feel inferior just by looking at how hot and good she looked. The thing that really struck her though was the stunning man standing next to her. It had taken all of Gem's control not to blush, stammer, and run away like a school girl at the sight of him. Now much to her dismay and surprise she had run into him again, this time with her ass in his crotch. She realized she was blushing and this embarrassed her making her feel even more hot and embarrassed. "Sorry about that." She offered and turned back around, just wanting to ignore the fact how intensely hot he was and also the fact that she was getting a steady throb between her legs just looking at him. She looked at the two people in front of her neither of them had a lot in their cart so it wouldn't be long before she could pay for it and then get the hell out and away from this situation.
Now Gem was generally a quiet, shy, thoughtful person so this encounter really threw her for a loop and it didn't help he was so attractive she felt like she was going to melt. She stood in front of him now very stiff and awkward but she couldn't will herself to relax and when she got closer to the checkout she reached over to grab a 2 packs of M&M for his kids and her hand shook. She tossed the packages in the cart and bit her bottom lip. "What the hell is wrong with you Gem? Loosen up, not like he even paying attention to you anyways. He is probably checking out the hot cashier, not your chunky ass so calm down." She told herself this repeatedly while she unloaded her cart content on the conveyor up to the point it was her turn to pay.
She didn't even notice that Rentic was thoroughly checking her out and more importantly so turned on by the way she smelled and looked it took all his concentration to not rip her clothes off right now and fuck her shamelessly in front of everyone.
He smelled a few things that peaked his interest as he wandered down the different aisles. Catching even a faint hint on her sweet aroma almost drove him over the edge. He found her quickly within 3 minutes probably less but he wasn't counting. He hunted her down in the baby aisle. There she was chewing the tip of her finger in thought looking as if she was choosing between two different infant swings. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail, the curls cascading into jet black ringlets. She was wearing a tight black tank-top that was cut low showing off the tops of the swells of her breasts. Her jeans clung to her hips for dear life and you could tell they were to big. Her ass stuck out nice and round in them though. He practically salivated watching her. He could hear the blood pumping through her veins. He knew that this time he wasn't just going to lose her scent and let it go, he was going to have her.
When he followed her to the checkout line she wasn't aware, and it had been pure luck that she had backed that delicious ass right into his crotch. The look on her face when she turned around made him even more aroused from the evident blush to how self-conscience she suddenly became, the blood pulsing through veins even faster, the sound of her heart beating, and the fact he could smell her arousal. He smirked to himself when she quickly turned around and tried to pretend that she wasn't attracted to him and that she wasn't getting wet from just that little contact.
She struggled with the baby crib she had in the cart and finally gave just leaning it on it's side so that the person could scan it. Seeing as she was alone Rentic got an idea.
The cashier leaned over to scan the swing box giving Gem a look of annoyance. Gem caught the look and frowned a bit,
"Sorry it is heavy I even had a hard time getting it on the cart." She offered. The young girl rolled her eyes and waved it off giving Gem her total. She felt cold fingertips lightly graze her shoulder and she turned around to face the man behind her. She started blushing again and felt stupid for it.
"If you need some help loading it in your car I wouldn't mind helping you." He smiled, although it wasn't the kind to show teeth just a polite casual smile. Gem's eyes got a little bigger at his offer. It was heavy but she was sure she could load it with a little maneuvering. On the other hand he had offered and although she had this nagging thought to just get away from him another part of her wanted to be near him for just a little longer. She nodded wordlessly paying for stuff and putting the bags in cart. Moving away and waiting for him to be done. Her mind was racing, "What are you thinking having some strange man help you? He could drug you and sell your organs on the black market, or rape you!" She swallowed the lump in her throat and then tried to calm herself. "Don't be stupid. There is such a thing as people being nice, and as if he would want to have his way with your fat ass anyways." While these thoughts and a few others raced through her head she pretended to look at receipt but she was really trying to get her blush down and act normal.
