It was a quarter passed 3am, and Mason was nowhere to be found. He was suppose to pick Danni up at the airport. She texted him, "Mason, your late." No responce. A few minutes later she tried again, "Mason Tyler Musso, where are you?" Still no responce. She called him, it went to voicemail. This pissed her off.
Mason promised to pick her up, and he didn't. At first she was pissed, but then she started to worry. Afraid something bad may have happened to her best friend. Danni called Mason again, voicemail. She cursed under her breath, and ended up calling a taxi. There was nothing left, she could do anyway.
At about ten minutes to 5am, she walked in the door to her apartment. It still smelled like vanilla, and roses. Just the way she left it, before her business trip to Germany. See, she was a photographer for a music magazine company. This let her travle the world, taking pictures of musicans all over. Most of the time, she was only gone for like a week, or two. Not this time though. This time was a six week photo trip.
After Danni put her stuff away, she decied to take a trip to her favorite place. It was a bridge near the edge of town. the bridge was next to a creek, and it was really beautiful out there. She would always go there, some time in the middle of the morning. Best time to go, no one is there, and she would get special time to just write, or draw.
She glance at the clock on the way out the door, 6:58am. Since sleeping almost the whole plane ride home, she was wide awake now. As she got in her car, her phone made a noise.
"I'm sorry I missed you, I was sleeping. I thought you said 6am," read the text from Mason.
"Well, I had to wait almost an hour for a taxi, no thanks to you. I also got ripped off for the drivers tip."
"Again, I'm sorry. Let me make it up to you, Danni."
"No, thank you!" Danni texted, before throwing her phone in the passangers seat.
About forty-five minutes later, she was at her destination. This was a perfect time, to just doodle in her sketch pad. She got out, grabbing her sketch pad, and pencils out of the back seat. Again her phone made a noise. She ignored it, knowing it was Mason. Looking around, she found her spot by the edge of the bridge, near the railing.
As she climed up there, she could hear the sound of a motorcycle coming down the road. She ignored it as best she could. When the sound was gone, she went back to her drawing of a lake. She had a field of flowers, on one side of the lake she was drawing. Mason was also in her drawing. He was sitting by the lake fishing. Something she knew he would never do in real life. A girl could dream right?
Almost finished with the drawing, she was startled by her phone. She could hear it from her car, because she wasn't too far away from where she parked. Getting up, she went after it. She put her drawing stuff in the backseat, and grabbed her phone. One missed call, displayed on the screen. It was Mason, she was done being ticked off at him, so she called him back.
"Danni, I really am sorry, for not picking you up at the airport." Mason said, almost too fast to understand.
"It's okay Mason. I'm not mad anymore."
"Really? So, you wanna go get some breakfast with me?"
"I'm not at home right now, sorry. I went for a drive."
"Oh okay," Mason sighed, and hung up. Didn't people say goodbye anymore? Oh well, it didn't matter anyway.
Danni put her phone in her pocket, and decied to take a walk in the creek barefoot. She took off her shoes, and made her way to the water. The water felt good between her toes. Slowly she walked further in the water. By now, the water was about an inch, or two below her shorts she had on. She stayed there for about twenty minutes, before walking back to her car.
Realizing she was wet, Danni searched her car for a towel. No luck finding one, so she went for a walk to air dry her legs. As she did, she noticed a silver motorcycle near by. It wasn't one of those biker kind, but it sure looked expensive. Quickly she got out her phone, and took a pic. It was the prettiest bike she ever saw. The silver matched that of the moonlight you see, right before it gets scary dark outside.
As she turned around, and started walking back to her car, she spotted a man. He was tall, and in the sunrise, he looked more tan than he should. Danni also noticed he wasn't wearing a shirt, but had skinny black jeans on, or were they dark blue? She couldn't tell, but he looked hot as hell.
"Like what you see?" He said, catching her staring at him.
"Oh um.......yes actually."
"Straight to the point, I like that," He giggled. "I'm Ashley, and you are?"
"Danni," She smiled at him.
He didn't come off as creepy, which made Danni sigh in relief. She wasn't ready for any kind of creepy today. Her phone went off again, but this time it was work. They had texted her, her new assignment. In two weeks, she would be going to Japan. Her second time there. The first time was with Mason, but that was a long time ago.
Ashley looked around, before hopping on his bike. Danni frowned at him for some odd reason. This made him climb off. Something about her made him think twice about leaving. He liked how she was almost as tall as him. He noticed she had red, and black hair halfway to her ass in a ponytail. She was wearing a Misfits shirt, and shorts. Not the short kind he really liked on girls, but shorts none the less. He also noticed she had two piercings in both ears, and a lip ring.
He wondered if she had anything else. Maybe a tattoo, or other piercings perhaps. That thought washed away, when Danni started heading back to her car. Ashley quickly ran infront of her, which made her stop.
"What?" Danni sighed.
"I know we just met, but um do you wanna go get a drink or something?"
"Can that bike of yours keep up?"
"It's been tweeked, so it can go about 120mph," Ashley spoke up.
"Then follow me," With that, Danni got in her car, and started to drive off.
