Last Girl

Chapter 5

My eyes fluttered open
I glanced around, and I calmed when I realized I was in my bed, in my room.
I looked over and remembered last night with Jacob. I smiled to myself.
No, we didn't go all the way. Chill out.
Get your mind out of the gutter.
I'm not that desperate. Yet. I barely even know him. But we did make out.
It was nice and I liked Jacob.
But he wasn't there. He was gone.
"Jacob?" I called out.
There was no reply.
Weird.
I rolled out of bed, and grabbed my discarded shirt and bra from the floor.
My feet were pressed against the cold concrete floor.
I searched in the building, but there was no sign of him.
I opened the large metal doors and looked outside.
He was standing outside, wearing nothing but a t-shirt and boxers despite the chilly morning air. His gaze was on something in the distance.
He doesn't seem to notice me, so I approach him slowly.
I will say that it did seem odd that, in the massive amount of land that made up the US, Jacob just so happened to make his camp within 10 miles of me.
What are the odds?
It seemed alittle sketchy, but fate works in mysterious ways.
I walk across the abandoned parking lot towards him.
"Jacob?" I call out again, louder this time.
"He turns around, and sees me standing there.
"Hey" he says softly.
"What are you doing?" I ask.
"Just looking. Someday we will find someone. I just know it."
"It's really cold out here. You should come inside." I say, looking at his bare feet.
"I actually had an idea. Let's go do something fun."
"Like what?" I ask, intrigued.
Most of the fun things required electricity, which we didn't have a lot of.
He smiles.
"You have a car right?"
"Ya"
He smile turns devious.
"Let's go."
He grabbed the keys from me, and led me to the car.
"Shouldn't you get some clothes on?"
I ask.
"Nah. where were going we don't need clothes. "
I look at him, appalled.
"Oops. That sounded dirty. I mean that we will get clothes at the place."
"Darn" I say, fake pouting and crossing my arms.
He leans over and kisses me on the cheek.
Titan whines, anxious to go to this mystery place.
He stars the car, and we drive off.
We drive for a good hour, wandering around the empty city.
The houses slowly get nicer, and the stores become more expensive.
"I've found the perfect house" he says.
I gape in awe. The mega mansion stands proudly on a hill, with a massive stone gate and an (empty) fountain out front.
"Hold on tight" Jacob says as he floors the gas pedal and Rams straight through the gate.
We laugh, but I feel bad about destroying such an expensive piece of work.
He pulls up to the front door of the huge house. There were no signs of life. (Not surprisingly)
The green hedges were horribly overgrown, and green vines creeped up the side of the house.
He knocks on the door.
"Just in case" he says.
No answer. It's obvious that the house has been empty for 3 years.
The door is unlocked, and it swings open silently. The beautiful living room greets us. A dusty grand piano stands in one corner. The expensive furniture sits there, waiting to be sat on. Titan immediately trots into the house, sniffing at everything.
No skeletons greet us, so I'm assuming that the people weren't home when the plague struck. Jacob walks towards the grand stair case that leads towards the bedrooms.
I follow.
He opens the first door on the right, but it is only a guest bedroom. The non-personal decorations give it away. He sighs. No clothes here.
Finally, we find the master bedroom, with a huge walk-in closet. I gasp as I see rows and rows of dresses, shirts, pants, and shoes.
"How long has it been since you've gotten a new wardrobe.?" He asks.
I glance down and my grimy gray shirt and worn jeans.
"Too long" I say.
The clothes look about my size.
I see beautiful dresses and shoes, some with the price tags still on  I immediately grab a beautiful floor length deep red dress that shows of my curves and complements my black hair.
I strip off my worn clothes and slip into the dress. I turn to the full length mirror.
"Wow" I hear a voice say.
I turn to see Jacob, holding a nice tux, staring at me in my dress.
"Do you like it?" I ask, blushing.
"I love it" he says.
I turn slowly around, giving him a 360 degree view.
"Wowza" he says again.
"Hottie alert"
"You're too sweet." I say.
Gesturing to the tux, I say "try this on. I bet it looks great on you."
he strips off his shirt, and I advert my eyes, not before catching a glimpse of his stellar body.
"I saw that. Nothing you didn't see last night." he says flirty, with a wink.
I am blushing uncontrollable.
Damn. He is really hot.
"Can I turn around yet?"
"Sure, if you want to see me naked." e says.
"Tough choice" I say sarcastically.
I'd love to turn around right now, but I'm not sure how much self control I would have in front of an extremely sexy naked male body. I like him, but I barely know him.
"You can turn around now"
I turn to see Jacob, dressed nicely in a great tux.
"Wowza" I say, mirroring his words.
"You know it" he says with a smirk.
