Lethal Obsession

The Beginning

**Friday**

When I wake up the next morning, I get dressed in my distressed jeans, ribbed black tank top and flip flops. It's finally time to go home since my shift is over. I have to say, that's a perk of the job. Being on shift for two days straight then getting four off!! Lots of free time to do whatever in the hell it is I do! GTL! Just kidding!! Gym, relax and hang out with my friends mostly and they are always sure to keep me on my toes. It's gnarly that Chris and I have the same schedule also even though we work at different stations. Probably a good thing otherwise he would annoy the fuck out of me! I love the guy, but he knows how to get under my skin. All in fun of course and honestly he is more like the big brother I never had. Without my parents, my friends are all I really have as family. My other best friend, Beck, is a hair dresser which is nice because she makes her own schedule. She also does my hair which is always a plus because I get free shit!

Just as I get in my Jeep to leave the station, I see Nate trotting up in my drivers side mirror. Play it cool Halston!

"Hey, I'm glad I caught you! Do you want to do something tonight? I have a MMA match and I would love for you to come. We could hang out after I beat the guys ass!" he laughs. "You are probably a busy girl though."

My face gains a rosy glow. "That sounds like fun and I really have no other plans." Wow, I sound like I have no life at all! "What? You couldn't wait until Saturday to hang out with me?" 

"Actually, no. I have to see what Miss Halston is all about. Since I'm kinda new here, I don't have many options." 

OMG!! Is he just asking me to go because he has no one else to hang out with? Am I his last resort? My face grows cold.

"Really?!"

He starts laughing hysterically. "You should see your face! I'm joking. I know some people but they aren't as beautiful or interesting as you are. I'm intrigued."

I roll my eyes. I'm honestly not up to much since I'm a plain Jane but lets not tell him that! I don't wanna seem like a loser with no fucking life. "I guess you will have to wait and see!"

"Awesome. Just give me your address and I will come pick you up around 7."

Am I really doing this right now? Yup! I sure am! "209 Oak Street. But I have a question since I'm new to the MMA scene. Am I supposed to dress any particular way? I have never been to an event like this plus I don't know what you have planned after." Pff, I hate when I underdress for shit. Even worse, over dress!! Like Cinderella going to a house party!

I see him dialing my address into his phone. As he looks over at me, he has a wide grin. "Wear something tantalizing because we are going to a club after. I'm sure you have plenty of things to wear. You're a chick!"

What the fuck man! "I don't think I own sexy, dude!" I can feel the heat running through my body knowing his desire in seeing me in something form fitting and revealing. For fucks sake I hope I don't have to go shopping! I'm not your typical shopaholic girl.  All of my shit is probably so fucking outdated, it will look like I just came from the 90s! I sigh as I shuffle through my outfits in my head. "I will figure something out."

He smiles and walks off with a simple nod as he puts on his Ray Bans and heads to his car. He gets into his black Mercedes and rolls down his passenger window while looking up at me. "See you at 7, beautiful."

I give out a sigh of relief that I didn't fumble my words or look like a desperate buffoon! Time to head home and figure out what in the hell I'm going to wear! I start getting worried. Makeup, hair and cute clothes! This is going to be a long day...
