2 | I'll Take You Home

|Tay's P.O.V|

After accepting Jenna's drink offer and making some small talk, I excuse myself to the washroom.

I look at myself in the mirror. I don't think I've ever blushed that much in such a short amount of time. Jenna is incredible.

Once I dry off my hands I walk back out to the bar. I walk over to my seat to see that Jenna is gone and all that's left is a note and her money covering the bill.

The note read:

Sorry I had to head out without warning. Call me sometime! X

I flipped the note over to see her phone number there. Curiosity takes over my mind and I can't help but wonder why she had to leave.

|Jenna's P.O.V|

As soon as Tay left to go to the bathroom I got a phone call from Jess. A phone call from her at this time of night only means one thing. I smirk to myself as I head over to her place.

Once I get there I am immediately greeted by her at the door and she takes me into her apartment. We all know where this is going.

After we finish up, I sneak out of her building and begin to walk to the parking lot where I parked my motorcycle. I'm not into cars. That's for people who frequently have others with them. Given my lifestyle, I prefer not having to offer everyone a ride. All of the girls I've been with love my bike but I never let them get on it. My bike was white with black accents, and I'd like to think it helps in the lady department.

Finally I get to my bike and I hear someone walk by. I would notice her anywhere, she's alone so I decide to call her over.

"Tay!" I yell.

She comes over to where I am and sends a small smile my way.

"What's a pretty lady like you doing walking these streets alone at night?"

She blushes and shrugs, "Just heading home from the bar, it's a shame you had to go."

"Yeah about that, my friend needed my help, so I stopped by to make sure she was alright." I explained. So what if it was a lie, it's not like I could tell her the real reason I left.

"That was sweet of you, Jenna."

"Well brace yourself 'cause I'm about to get a whole lot sweeter," I said with a wink. "Get on." I motioned my head for her to get on my bike with me.

Her jaw dropped at the offer, "Me? Get on that?"

"Yeah. Come on, I'll take you home." I smile and hand her my spare helmet.

Tay walks over to the bike and puts on the helmet. After telling me her address she sits behind me, but hesitates on her hand placement. I reach behind and guide her hands so they're around my waist. "Don't be shy, you're going to have to hold on tight." I hear her giggle and take that as my signal that we're ready to go.

We soon arrive at her house, and I walk her to her door. She turns to face me with a big smile on her face. "Thank you, for the ride."

I nod and return the smile, "Hey, don't mention it. Goodnight cutie." I say as I begin to walk back to my bike. Just as I'm about to reach it I hear Tay turn around and yell at me.

"Hey Jenna! I know it's late, but would you like to come in for a coffee or tea or something?"

Walking back up to her, I nod. "I'd like that."

--------------------<•>--------------------

Tay and I talked for what seems like forever. There's something completely different about her. My regular flirty pick ups wouldn't work on her. Tay was someone I'd have to lure in before hooking up. A chase, I like it. I enjoy a challenge.

She had a really nice house. It was small but cozy. Not what I'm used to at all, I'm more of a show off. If you haven't already figured that one out.

I looked at my phone to check the time and realized how late it was. "Well I should probably get heading out now. Let's get together soon, yeah?"

"Sounds great. Goodnight Jenna."

"Goodnight Tay."
