My Great Eacape....

Chapter 12

My great escape…

I awaken in a start and I realize it’s raining. My Kryptonite. Rain. It always wakes me when I sleep and makes me feel lonely.  Looking around the room in the dark I suddenly is aware of where I am. I’m in Jack’s bed. Three thirty seven in red stares at me from  the digital clock, it’s still early. Hearing his breathing, soft and peaceful, he still asleep, his broad hand, heavy on my thigh. I can’t stay here, I have to go home. Why did I let him seduce me? I’m such an idiot. Watching him sleeping, his soft hairs on his  chest moving up and down with every breath, his long eye lashes, the little dint in his chin, he really is something to behold. An incredible man and now I feel like I made a horrible mistake.

       Sliding my feet out of bed and placing them on the cool floor, I dread the thoughts of my walk home. Jack shifts slightly but, is breathing quickly resumes it’s  slow easy rythym. It’s now 3:45 am and I have at least 7 blocks to go. It’s raining and all I have is a wrap. Man I can sure get myself into a predicament. Get dressed Lib, and get home girl. I gather up my clothing from everywhere it has been scattered and proceed to the bathroom to dress. A skirt, a blouse and a wrap, not great attire on a rainy night I think to myself. As I head to the elevator to leave I see a bin holding 2 umbrellas so, I grab one on my way out. It’s cold on the street, I wrap the shawl around me tightly, wishing I had socks on my bare legs and hating my choice of foot ware. By the time I reach the front door of our apartment I’m soaked, freezing and feeling like my decision to have sex was not a good one. Boy did I mess up, he was so dreamy and now I’m never going to hear from him again. He’s going to think I’m a freak. What a retarded decision that was, Libby. Way to go!

Asylum as I step into the apartment. I’m comforted by the fact that I’m home. I can crawl into bed to get warm and forget about tonight. I strip down and dry off, trying to shake my thoughts of Jack. Sexy Jack, how he kissed my ears, my shoulders, my breasts and my…he were so fantastic. He made me feel incredible. Could he feel something or was it just sex? No never mind and go to sleep. I hate the rain.
