interested, I think.
“For emotional support,” I said quickly.
“Does this friend have family issues?” he asked.
“No, his family died years ago and he’s alone now.”
“So this friend is a he? Does he need you for more than emotional support?” Hayden asked, looking closely into my eyes again. I started to feel dizzy. Why was he so interested if I had a close male friend or not.
“Possibly,” I replied, wanting to see how curious he was.
“Just remember you’re young and you need your freedom. There are a lot of people out there that might interest you and you don’t want to be tied down with someone because he needs you,” he preached.
“It’s not like that. I wouldn’t be able to possibly explain how bizarre the situation is. You see he saved my life. So I owe him but I also love being with him.” I was unsure as to why I was telling him all this. It must have been the alcohol, I guessed.
“How did he save your life?” he seemed interested even more now.
“He saved me from myself,” I answered, hoping to stop this line of discussion.
“I could use a savior like that myself,” he said smiling. I smiled back at him, realizing he was happy with my answer.
“So I guess we should get out of here before the police are called. I could get arrested,” he said grinning. I realized then that I liked his company. He was mysterious and charming. I don’t know why I found him so compelling or familiar.
Hayden led me to his black convertible. I guess his business pays well. I wondered what he drives in the winter and where he goes in the winter. His skin was tanned for being so early in the summer season. He was such a gentleman, as he opened the passenger door for me, closing it as I sat down. He climbed into the drivers’ side and shut the door. He started the car and turned down the music. He drove quickly down the drive and on to the dirt road.
“I’m afraid I don’t know the area so well. You’ll have to tell me where we are heading,” he explained.
“Right, just keep going toward the hi-way, north bound. Take the first exit and you’ll hit the Main Street. My house is on the main drag,” I said sarcastically.
“I get the feeling you don’t like living here much.”
“There are not too many places I’ve lived in that I’ve liked,” I answered honestly. I wasn’t about to tell him why I liked some of the places.
“How many towns have you lived in?”
“Wow, I’ve never really counted.” It’s not like we moved around because my father was in the army or something. Although now that I think about it, it may have been because of the `business’ he associated himself with. He probably owed money to someone like Hayden a few times, which actually made me smile. I must be insane. I would happily hand myself over to the devil, if it wasn’t for my angel Adam, waiting for me at home. As we neared my house I wondered why he volunteered to drive me home. I would now be indebted to him and if there was one thing I knew, nothing is ever offered free and if you couldn’t pay in money than you paid in favors. I hoped he wasn’t as evil as I was making him out to be. He stopped out front my house, not in the driveway.
“Thank you so much! How much do I owe you for coming so far out of your way?” I asked, hoping he wouldn’t ask for more than I could give right now.
“Don’t be silly. I think of you as a friend. I hope you feel the same?” I nodded looking into his eyes again.
“Besides, I’ll just add it to the debt Justin already owes me,” he added, grinning. I could tell there was a story there.
“Well it was really nice to meet you tonight. You were right when you guessed I didn’t really want to be there. So I owe you for driving me home,” I said, apologetically.
“Well maybe the next time I’m in the area we can get together. You can tell me more about how you need to be saved from yourself,” he said seriously, looking me in the eyes this time. I
