Rodrigo Cortez left an impression on me from the first time I laid eyes on him. No this wasn't one of those "love at first sight" claims, but I wanted him. I wanted him bad. His sexual appeal was intense, and he had something deeper in his eyes, New heights to reach. I think what first got me hooked was how mysterious he was. He was a bad boy, and he was dangerous. All I had known him for was his reputation of hurting girls, selling drugs, getting into trouble, and being very intense. And looking into his eyes, I know it was all true.. and I wanted him. He was the type of guy who had so much hiding underneath, and the vibe of an asshole to cover it up... and being me, and by that I mean a little too curious, I was ready to do anything in my power to uncover the mystery of him. There was nothing cliché about him, or the story I made with him. No, this is the truth. This is the story of how I climbed the mental heights until I reached the very limit of Rodrigo Cortez.

The first time he contacted me was soon after I had been in a horrible car crash. It was my first car crash, and it was in a car with three of my dearest friends. I was the only one who was hurt luckily, and I honestly wouldn't have changed that. In a way I think I brought it upon myself, but I'll get more into that later.

We had been driving, all sober, to one of the little towns we had all grown up in and lived in. They say we slid off the road because the tires were bald, or the roads were slippery from the rain.. but nobody knew except for us that we were traveling at 85mph on one of the many windy roads in California. We slid off the road by just a few feet, and managed to scrape against four trees. The driver, Pablo, had the over-corrected and we slammed head-on into one of the many redwood trees lining the road.

I ended up hurting my back pretty bad, and had to be taken by ambulance to the nearest hospital, which happened to be two hours away. That meant three hours strapped down to a board as hard as the floor feeling like the back of my head was caving in from how hard it was being pressed down. I get it, there was a risk of me being paralyzed and all, but seriously? The ambulance ride actually felt worse then the crash for peets sakes. And yes, two hours away, believe me when I say I grew up in a very remote and small town. Because it was such a small town, people were always talking. So it wasn't more then 24 hours before the whole town knew of my accident, and of my fractured and buckled my spine.

Now besides that traumatic experience, back to Rodrigo. Yes the crash was horrible, but Rodrigo is still much more interesting to me, and most likely to you too. He messaged me on Facebook asking if I was okay after my crash. This was him genuinely trying to be kind, and doing what he always does looking out for everyone. See he decided I mattered, since I had been seeing one of his best friends at the time. He didn't flirt with me, just started to have conversations all day, everyday for the next month.

I saw him a few times while I was with my current lover, Luis, and even though I would never admit it to anyone, he had me enchanted. He was the most attractive man I had seen in that town, and when he made eye contact with me I wanted to pounce on him. I saw him once in the dead of night when I had been driving around with Luis in the dead of night, causing trouble. We came across Rodrigo with a couple of other boys known for their trouble, which I never knew I would soon call my family. The second time I saw him, was at a party, where he had told Luis to "ask his pretty lady for a dance." Is it bad to say that was the thing I was the most flattered by all night?

It was only a matter of weeks until Luis had decided to hurt me for another girl, which I am sorry to say, but with a horribly hideous girl. Her face resembled an ugly rodent or something, which I must admit made me feel a little better about it. I of course I never said this to anyone, not until now at least.. But her personality was awful as well so I don't feel bad for saying it. However, being me, I didn't make a big scene about it. Just eventually moved on. Yes, I was out to get myself a piece of Rodrigo. I was in for the game.
