Midnight Pleasure

Chapter 2: Colby

I get to my car in the parking lot and open the driver's side door. I was just about to start my car when I looked at my glove compartment. All of Colby's things that he's left in my car are in there. I haven't opened it since I put them in there 3 months ago. I didn't want to look at them any longer, but I didn't want to give them back to Colby because that would mean I would have to talk to him. I sighed and opened the compartment door and I saw everything I stuffed in there. The necklace he gave to me that he claimed was his grandmother's, his hoodie that he constantly left in my car incase of a rainy day, and all the other knick-knacks that I didn't feel like going through.

I know I shouldn't still be this upset with him, but I couldn't help it. He cheated on me, and not only that, but he cheated on me with Jade. Jade McClain, the bitch of the high school, at least that's who she was to me. We had never gotten along and she apparently vowed to make my life a living hell. She called me horrible names, spread rumor after rumor about me, and then when I tried to fight back she made it seem like SHE'S the victim and of course everyone sides with her.

I slam the compartment door closed and start the car. Tears spill over the brim of my eyes and I quickly wipe them away. I was just about to put the car in gear when the passenger side door to my car opened. I jumped slightly and looked at who was getting into it. My mouth fell open and I tried to scream "get out!" but the words just would not come out.

Colby closed the door and just looked at me. I was too shocked to say anything, so many things were running through my head. What the fuck did he want? Did Jade put him up to this? Is he recording this so he can blast it all over school? I can't believe my thoughts changed from loving him, to being scared of what he was going to do to me. I used to smile when he got into my car, but now I'm afraid. It's funny how time changes things.

"What..what are you doing?" I finally get out, stammering at first.

"I just want to talk." The sound of his voice made the tears come back and I tried my best to hold them back. His scent filled up the car, replacing my Hawaiian coconut air freshener with his lush cologne. My tongue danced behind my lips, begging to touch his. All of my senses were heightened, if he made a single move I would notice. He looked me up and down and moved slightly closer while I moved farther away.

I scanned his baby blue eyes, searching for any hints as to why he's here. His long, curly, blonde hair was pulled back and out of his face, a couple ringlets sticking out. The tips of my fingers were screaming at me to reach out and touch his perfectly tan skin, but I resisted.

"I don't want to hear anything from you." I bravely said. I knew it wasn't true, I knew he was what I wanted more than anything. I'd give anything to feel his touch on my skin, his lips on mine. His soft kisses on my neck, trickling up to my ear and whispering sweet nothings to me.

I bet that's what he did with Jade.

With that thought, anger filled me and washed away the longing. Maybe this is what I needed, to confront him, to finally get everything off of my chest. Colby raised his hand to move a piece of my auburn hair behind my ear, but I moved my head before he was able to.

"Eliza, please. Can't we just talk? This is all a big misunderstanding, I promise."

"A misunderstanding? You call cheating on me with the one person I hate most a misunderstanding? What about joining in with her while she made fun of me, was that a misunderstanding too? Oh, and I'm sure telling everyone that I was horrible in bed was a misunderstand as well, even though we never had sex." I was so angry that I hadn't realized that I was crying, but I didn't care. I needed to say this. Before I could think twice, I opened my glove compartment and grabbed everything out of it.

"Take it. Take it all! I don't want a single piece of it."

"Eliza, please!"

"No Colby, the time for talking was a long time ago and you never did. You didn't try to explain what happened, you didn't apologize, you didn't say a single Goddamn thing! Did you ever really love me, or was I just some trophy to put on your wall?" I got out of my car with all of his things and threw them on the ground. I tore up all of the love notes he wrote me and scattered them everywhere. I chucked the necklace that I doubt was even his grandma's across the parking lot, then walked over to the passenger side door and opened it up.

"Get out." I said calmly. He just looked at me, eyes wide and mouth slightly agape.

"I said get the fuck out, Colby." I yelled, attracting the attention of everyone in the parking lot, but I didn't care.

"I don't ever want to see you again. Take all your stupid shit, your stupid cd's that you made for me, your hoodie, all the pictures of us, I don't want any of it! I don't care what you have to say, I really don't. You lost me the night you decided I wasn't enough for you." There was a circle around us now, and I could tell he was feeling nervous. This hadn't gone how he'd planned and I'm so thankful for that. I don't know what he was planning, but it wasn't going to work.

"Eliza, hear me out. I just have a question for you. One single question and then I'll leave you alone forever." I eyed him wearily, but gave in.

"What is it?" My tone was harsh but skeptical. Did he plan all of this? Did he know I would have freaked out? Is this exactly what he wanted to happen? Did I fall right into his hands again? He got out of the car and walked towards me. I backed up as much as I could, but I couldn't go any further because of the crowd of people. My hands started shaking slightly from fear and I had to ball them into fists so he wouldn't notice. He got so close to me, I could feel his breath on my lips.

"Let me take you to our special place, I can make your hands shake for other reasons." I clenched my jaw so it wouldn't fall open. There wasn't anything I had wanted more and less at the same time.

"Okay, I think it's time you leave." I heard a familiar voice say. I couldn't see over Colby, he was too tall. Colby didn't acknowledge whoever was talking, he kept his eyes on mine, searching for a silent yes. He moved closer, he was so close I could feel his every movement.

"Hey, I said it's time you leave." The same voice said, more impatient this time. Colby sighed and turned slightly to see who was finally sticking up for me. I caught a glimpse of him and I couldn't tell which was worse, the hero or the villain.
