Criminal -Neil Westfall-

Chapter Five

Late. He's late! It's been four hours! I should've known he wouldn't show up. I need to stop putting my hopes up so high. I close my eyes while laying on the couch, crossing my arms too. I looked a five year old pouting or something. And then there was a knock at the door. I wasn't planning on getting, not at all.

"Kat get that for me I'm making dinner!" I ear Lisa yell from the kitchen. I grunt slowly making my way to the door then another knock knock.

"I'm comi-" I open the door to see Neil.

"Hey-sorry I'm late I had some business to take care of.." He had his hands in his black coat pocket and his ears started to get red. The snow was lightly falling into his hair then melting after a couple of seconds.

"You could've told me. Could've sent a text really fast. I waited around looking stupid." I shouldn't go with him. I am going to make him wait. Or I shouldn't go at all to make a stand! I just stand there, letting the snow fall into the warm house.

"I know, I know, and I am sorry. That was wrong of me. And because of that, I'm going to take you to dinner." I bite my lip thinking about if I should go or not. Then he steps closer looking down at me blankly, "If you keep biting your lip while you're with me.. I'm going to have to do something about it." I bite it harder. Right away he steps forward. Then pushes me inside. I was speechless.

"Go get your things, we're leaving." I nod, getting my things but when I turn around Neil bring his eyes back up to mine. Was he just looking at my..? Pig.

He leads the way, out the door, to his car. He started it and his black mustang roared in my driveway. I jumped a little getting in the passengers seat. I buckle up and take a deep breath. He backs out without a word. I felt a lot of tension in the air. "So um..Where might you be taking me? " His eyes don't shift, they stay locked on the road. My palms start to get sweaty. "What brought you to this town?"

"Maybe I just wanted to move, did you ever think of that?"

It got quiet again. "Not to be like.. You know nosy but what plans did you have before you picked me up?" I gripped my seat belt.

"I had to do something at my place." He looks at me for a second. But for the second he looks at me I see the lie pierce through me. I don't know why but I didn't bother to ask. Some questions just need to be unanswered.

For the rest of the ride he didn't make conversation. He just drove and drove. I didn't mind but I wanted to know him. I didn't know what was pulling me towards this man. He was so mysterious.

Sooner or later we arrive at a strip mall about 45 minutes out of town. "Where are we?" I lock my eyes with him.

"I stopped here while heading here. I thought it'd be nice to take you somewhere you might not have been before. Something new for the both of us." He looks ahead. I looks at all his details. Perfect..perfect details..what am I saying!? I just met the guy!

"Um..yeah..that sounds good."

3 hours passing

"I should take you home its getting dark." He walks me towards his car. I didn't want to leave yet, I was having a good time.

I quickly grab his arm, "wait.." He turns around looking at me. My eyes slowly meet his, "take me somewhere else. I don't wanna go yet." He just looks at me, I couldn't tell what he was thinking but it seemed sketchy.

"Alright.. I can do that." He leads me to the car an opens my door for me this time. But he then he started looking around, he then shut my door. He stood there for a second then knocked on my window and I rolled it down.

He leans over and looks at me with one of his arms leaning on the window. "I'm going to smoke one before okay?" I nod looking at him. "Roll this up so you don't get cold girly." I did as I was told, I don't know why he's taking such an affect on me. I watch him as he lights his cigarette, watches him put it between his lip and breaths in. I watch him as the cigarette is destroying his health.

He soon enough finishes and walks to his side of the car. Neil opens the door flinging the cig away. He gets in the car an I could just smell the smoke. I watch him as he took a deep breath. I was getting worried.

"Are you o-" he quickly leans over and I could feel his lips press hard against mine. My eyes open wide, I couldn't believe this but I started kissing back. I close my eyes starting to give in, starts to loosen up my body. I felt his hand be placed on my upper thigh, his other one on my cheek making us kiss harder. It became more than just kissing, we started to make out, rough. This was getting hot an heavy. His hand started to go up further. And with that, that's when my mind snapped back to reality.

I shove him away, "Neil! What are you doing!?" He looks at me shocked.

"Isn't this what you wanted? You asked to show me around."

"Not show you around in my pants! I need to be respected! I'm.." I stop there..I knew what I was about to say an I couldn't say it. Not to him.

"You're? You didn't stop me! You want me and you know it! If you just admit it, it'd be easier for you Kat! And you know that."

"I don't want you." I growl at him, he just rolls his eyes. "Take me home." He let's out a small laugh and starts the car. I cross my arms looking forward. He sits there for a second before exploding.

"You know what your problem is!?" He grips the steering wheel tight.

"Problem? No, ha. I don't have a problem."

"You don't? Good girls don't lie."

"I'm not a good girl!" I raise my voice warning him.

"Oh yes you are! And you are afraid because you're not use to any of this! I saw the house you live in. There is no way you are use to this shit." He laughs starting to drive.
