His name was Alex and he was very mysterious. His hair was jet black, his eyes, grey. He was scruffy looking, but cute, and Karri wanted him. He was never seen without his black trench coat and clunky boots. They seemed to be his uniform. Nobody knew much about Alex except for the fact that he wasn't from around town, or state, someone said.
Karri had a reputation for sleeping around. One night stands were her specialty, her heart-breaking manouevers. Karri was born a heart breaker with sultry deep brown eyes, pale blond hair and a gorgeous body. Karri's closet was full of slinky tops and mini skirts.
The first week of his arrival at Karri's school, she heard he'd been asking around about her. He seemed very determined, very confident that he would date Karri.
The instant he approached her, a seductive smile curved Karri's sensuous pink lips. A sly, knowing grin spread across Alex's face and he nodded a greeting to her.
Karri raised an eyebrow at him, it was all she could do. Her tongue felt thick in her mouth. She couldn't believe a guy was making her tongue-tied. This was ridiculous, although his eyes had the cutest crinkle when he smiled, and his teeth were perfect, unmarked and straight.
"Hi, Karri right?" His voice was gruff and deep. Oh so deep. She nodded and smiled enticingly, wetting her lips with the tip of her tongue. "I'm Alex. I heard you're the president of the welcoming committee and are the one I'm supposed to talk to." He raised a black eyebrow.
"Yeah, that's me. What can I do for you?" Her heart skipped a beat. If only he'd ask her out first and not make her do all the work.
"Well, I was looking for someone to watch the sunset with. You know, someone to stroll down the beach and walk through the waves with." Alex smiled again, this time a small scar was made visible on his cheek. Karri instantly reached out and caressed his cheek where the scar was.
Alex grabbed her hand and kissed her fingertips.
His other hand reached over and traced along the scar on Karri's face. It started at her eyebrow and went down to her chin. It was very faint now, under her makeup, but she was born with the scar. Her mother had been mugged while pregnant with her and Karri had suffered the consequences.
Alex knew the scar well. He had been seeing it in his dreams for the past eighteen years now.
"You know, I just might know someone that could join you." Karri raised her delicately plucked eyebrows and tried to remove her hand from his.
He was sending shivers up her spine as his tongue played with her fingertips.
"Really? Good. Is she as pretty as you? I don't think anyone could really come close to being as nice as you. I hope it's you." Alex nibbled gently on her pinkie finger.
"Well, I was going to set you up with our cafeteria cook Bertha, but I guess I could take her place." Karri finally managed to remove her hand from his. Her knees felt like Jell-O at this point.
"Good, write down your address and I'll pick you up Friday at nine o'clock."
"I thought we were going to watch the sunset," she said, disappointed.
"Oh, that's next time. I want a beach strolling partner this time." He smiled reassuringly.
"Okay. Sounds good to me." Karri ripped a piece of paper out of her book and wrote her address and phone number on it.
He kissed her hand as she handed him the scrap of paper.
"See you Friday." His voice was thick and husky. Then he was gone.
Karri was in heaven, he seemed to actually like her back! She was excited. Finally a guy she was interested in, and he asked her out before she asked him out.
Karri pulled her dayplanner out of her purse and opened it to that week. On Friday May the twenty-first she wrote down 'date with Alex, nine pm.'
***
She bumped into Alex around school only once during the week.
When they'd talked, Alex held Karri's hand and nibbled on her fingertips.
"If you keep this up mister, I'm going to have to do something awful to you to get you back." Karri had threatened teasingly.
"Oh? Get me back for what? How does it make you feel when I do this? Does it feel good Karri? Do you like this?" Alex ran his fingernails up Karri's arm all the way to her armpits and back down again. He continued to suckle her fingertips, swirling his tongue around the tips.
Her spine arched, pushing her chest out towards him involuntarily. She thought she would die if he didn't stop. The tingles in her spine were now centered in her body, concentrating on one thing, and if he kept up, she was going to explode, right there in front of him.
"Oh god, please stop!" Her voice was ragged, breathless.
Alex did as she asked and laughed. He put his hand behind her neck, pulling her closer. He planted a firm kiss on her lips.
"See you on Friday, nine sharp." He whispered gently as he backed away from the kiss. Then he was gone.
Karri's body slid down the wall as she collapsed into a puddle of ecstacy on the floor. God she wanted him.
***
Soon it was the anticipated Friday. Karri was bursting with excitement, awaiting nine p.m. She dressed to kill in a black leather mini skirt and a pale blue scoop neck, shoulder-less blouse.
The old grandfather clock in the front hall of her parents' house chimed nine o'clock. Before the ninth chime sounded, Alex pulled into her driveway in an old, black, banged up jeep.
