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.
