Dark and Light

Chapter 3

 My cheeks were kissed with a light shade of pink. Subtle black  liner circled my big brown eyes. I fluffed my freshly highlighted hair and smiled largely.  I slowly smoothed  my white shirt down when I heard the doorbell.

I slowly retreated down the stairs dreading this moment, my date with Chad. I took in a deep breath and opened the door.

“You look hot.” Chad greeted me. He seductively  bit his lip and looked me up and down.

I looked around my foyer feeling slightly uncomfortable. I didn’t know where to look. Being the type of girl who didn't recieve lots of attention from guys, I hated this moment. It reminded me of being in zoo. Having someone look at you precisely, watching everything about you.

Before I knew it Chad pushed me against the wall and placed his crotch against mine. He leaned down to kiss me but I shifted my head at the last second. He planted one right on the center of my left cheek. A laugh escaped from deep within his throat.

“Kiss me. “ his raspy voice commanded.

“I’m fine,” I hissed back to him.

I tried to move away from him when he tightly grabbed onto my waist. Struggling to get away, I sighed, giving up.

“God you’re such a struggle, ” Chad once again leaned down and whispered into my ear, “but you’re so worth it.” I felt his hot breath coat the skin near my neck. A ripple of chills spiraled down my back.

I jerked my head away from his; I didn’t like being so close to him. “ Shouldn’t we get going?” I curiously asked.

“Oh yes!” Chad exclaimed grabbing my hand and leading me out the door. I quickly pulled my hand away and tried to place some space between us.

“Oh no you don’t,” he chuckled and pulled me back in to him.

Heat radiated from his body, warming me. To my surprise our body’s fit well together. His long lean figure towered me and my head fit right in the space between the nip of his arm and his chest.

Sometimes being short was a good thing,  I thought to myself.

Chad walked me across the street to his black car. He opened the door for me and I slide in. I took in the sight of the car. It was fairly nice; leather seats and a nice updated stereo. Moments later the driver’s door opened and he hopped in. The engine started and I was suddenly afraid. I was alone with Chad.

“W-w-where exactly are you taking me?” I questioned. I cursed in my head for letting myself stutter. He was going to enjoy the fact that being alone with him made my feel uneasy.

“It’s a surprise,” he looked over and winked at me.

I nodded, acknowledging him. “ How old are you?” I asked curious to his answer. I hadn’t seen him at school before; little did I know he could be a college student!

I'm still surprised at my behaviour. My decisions tended to be smarter than meeting with new strange boys. Something about Chad invited me in though. It was the whole bad boy thing, I assumed. It always turned me on.

"Eighteen," was all he responded.

The rest of the car ride seemed to be really quite. The low hum of the car was the  noise filing my ears. I rested my head back into my chair and prayed the night would pass quickly.
