Until you saw me

Buildings faded into my review mirror like they were never even there.I reached for my tape that I made and poped it in,music slowly started playing in the car as I turn it up as high as it can go. I'll never forget the euphoric feeling I had hearing with or without you blasting through that car on that night.I felt free, I felt wild but most of all I felt for the first time in my life in conrol.Since the car was a 1969 mustang I had to roll down the window with one of those handels that you never see any more. Let me tell you I appriciated the breeze I finally felt after the struggle to get the dame window down.

I was about a good hour from our town.I took this route knowing it was quiet a ways.Stealing myself some time. I was climbing 150 when I realized that soon there would be a turn up ahead, so i slowed down. Hey don't judge me I might want to kill myself but I envisioned a crash off a bridge and maybe if I was lucky a dramtic three day search that had locals sitting on the edge of their seats. Into the bushes going 150 was not exactly dramatic. Slowing down to 80 miles per hour i rounded the corner and as I sped up I saw a car up ahead.

I squinted and saw a figure standing next to the car.It was dark,I couldn't make out anything more then that. I should have passed that dame car. I shouldn't have helped. I should have sped up to 180 and kept going,and I did. Even as I saw that the car had obviously broken down,and the figure casually waved with one hand and inhaled a puff from a ciggarette with the other, I didn't slow down. I didn't,I drove past him.But seeing the stranger smoke I realized I forgot to steal a ciggarette from Hank, FUCK! I slam on the breaks.Making loud screeching noises on the silent highway.

Slowly i turned my car around. Maybe if I give this guy my phone I could probably trade the favour for a ciggarette. I slowly drive up on the opposite side the road from the car and put my car in park. I could see now that the figure standing next to the car was a man,he looked to be in his late 20's earlie 30's. As I get out of the car and shut my door. I imagine I'm a sight to see coming out of a black mustang in white heals and in my white dress sporting a slit showing off my leg and thigh.To be honest I kinda felt silly dressed up as I was in the middle of nowhere.

He looks at me taking one last puff from his smoke,he inhales it while still looking at me and my god I have never seen something so astonishingly beautiful as this man smoking and looking at me as I walk towards him. He's careful with his eyes. They aren't widening in surprise or appreciation like most men's eyes do. He's not showing guilt for looking at me, he's not even horrified at what I'm wearing. Like I said he's careful,cautious showing me no response or emotion. I would have thought he was indifferent to me if it weren't for the way he backed away when he saw me. As if being near me might hurt him.

As i get closer I notice his eyes are blue. Even in the dark they were striking. Most of his hair was shortly cut leaving his top hair long, and His lips dammit those lips look like they could bring you to your knees if they wanted to.Even though they were drawn together in a thin line,careful.But most surprisingly of all this man was in a suit,as I am in a dress. He obviously didn't just come from his prom. So who is this man? Where was he before now?What was he doing?Where is he going? One glance and I want to know everything there is to know about this stranger. One glance and I know I should have never gotten out of that car.

I finally reach him, I have no idea how but I managed to remember the english language long enough to say ''Hi''.

''Hi'' he says back with raised eyebrows he gives me a sincre smile.For the first time since he saw me he dared to look at my dress rather then just my face. As if this whole time he hadn't dared to look,his eyes quickly travel down my dress or lack there of and back up again.

''Do you need help? What happened to your car?''

He shakes his head ''Flat tire,would you mind if I borrow your phone to call a tow?''

''Sure,'' i say ''but only if I can bum a smoke from you.''

He nods his head ''You've got yourself a deal''.

I grab my phone from my purse as he reaches into his car for his pack.I'm guessing somewhere between being stranded in the middle of nowhere he took off his suit jacket leaving him in a rolled up white shirt and a tie. So when he reached into his car I could see his back muscles streching his shirt.Dame.

''Here'' He offers me a smoke as I hand him my phone. I finally notice a cut near his eye and a bit of dried blood surrounding it.

''Oh my god what happened to your face'' I don't know what possesed me but I took a step closer to inspect and I reached up to touch his face. He stilled at my touch watching me almost afraid to move.

Once I realized that I was touching him I quickly removed my hand from his face. He clears his throat ''I ah lost control of my car when i rounded the corner, I guess I hit my head against the window''

I grimace ''Sorry for, you know not stopping at first I don't no what I was thinking''.

I know exactly what I was thinking I was thinking I had bridges to burn, but I wasn't about to tell him that. Looking as if he didn't quite beleive me he just nodded.He started to walk away as he made the call.

I used this moment to access him.As he stands there with his back to me I can tell he's strong built but not to built that you would think he constanly works out and is obsessed with being fit.No something tells me this stranger whoever he is whatever he does.He's strong from working hard.He's still talking with one hand on the phone and one hand in his pant pocket.I look lower and notice a gun sticking out of his back pants. I'm calm though,any other night I would have ran I was have been afraid. But not tonight I just stand there patiently waiting for my phone back.

When he returns he hands me back my phone and for some reason his face is all serious as he starts speaking ''Tow truck will be here in an hour,I hate to ask this but would you mind taking me to the nearest town I think its a 20 minute drive in that direction.Or at least take me as far as your going?'' I consider this for a moment

A.I have no idea who this man is I don't even know his name B.He could be bad news what with the gun in his back (though for some reason I feel that that's not the case) though that could just be my lady parts talking. C.This would defenitly put my plans on hold if not ruin them ... but on the other hand when he mention us in a car together my heartbeat quickened. I can't deny I am more attracted to this older man then I have ever been to any high school boy in my entire teenage years.Regardless if he feels that same pull I do.I'm sure he's guessed I'm young but wether or not he's guessed I'm in high school I have no idea.

I extend my hand ''Clarrissa''

He looks surprised but offers his name nevertheless ''Cillian''

The moment our hands meet I felt something tug inside me,something awaken from his touch.There weren't sparks flying or fireworks like you read about in books, no it was so much deeper then that.I don't know how but holding his warm hand in mine I just knew those hands would someday touch my heart,soul,body and anything else I had left to give him.

Which was a pretty dangerous thought for someone who had spent the last half year thinking I wouldn't live to see tomorrows sunrise.
