This is what I see, Misty, when I look at you. I see us. I see a future with you. Please don’t ever doubt that. You are perfection, and I admire everything about you. Open your eyes and look at me.” I said softly.
She opened those green eyes that seemed to peer into my soul. “Do you understand me?” A single tear drop dripped down her face. I knew she could see it, that she could feel it.
“Yes I can, Drake. Please, please don’t ever hurt me. I am putting my heart on the line.”
“You can trust me with your heart. I will cherish it.” That tear was dangling on her cheek and when I reached over to wipe it away, I felt that heat burning between us.
She looked at me and then closed her eyes. I believed that she drifted off to sleep. I wanted to pull my truck over and stare at her sleeping but had to keep on task and get us home. I didn’t want to stay in a hotel again because I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep my hands off her. She was a virgin and I wanted to make sure she wanted me to be her first. The thought somewhat scared me because I had only been with one woman and she was good from what I could tell. I had nothing to compare it to. I continued to drive and imagined my life with Misty. It would be a happy one. She was perfect in every way. She never complained and took life as it hit her. I knew it was going to be hard to get through her walls, but once I did she would be mine. She would be the woman I knew she wanted to be. All Misty wanted in life was to be loved and I planned on giving her the love she so deserved. I was going to save her soul from the hell she was obviously in.
Just as the sun began to set, I saw the sign, Sunnydale 10 miles ahead. I nudged Misty to wake her up but she just moaned.
“Leave me alone Mom, I still have a few minutes before school.” I couldn’t help but smile because she was having a good dream.
“Misty, wake up. We are almost to Sunnydale.” She opened those beautiful green eyes and rubbed them.
“That was quick.”
“You have been asleep for three hours. Where am I dropping you?” There was a look of confusion on her face.
“Let me call my aunt. She was expecting to pick me up at the bus station. I totally forgot to tell her that I got a ride.” She pulled her phone out of her pocket and dialed a number.
“Hello, Aunt Silvia.” Aunt Silvia, huh? This was the woman who abandoned her when she really needed someone in her life. This was the woman who she was turning to in her time of need. I prayed to God she didn’t let her down again or she would have to deal with me.
“There has been a change in plans. Can I have your address? I have a friend dropping me off. Um, no Ma’am, I will be there in about 30 minutes.” She grabbed a pen from her bag and scribbled the address on her hand. “Yes Ma’am I know. I can’t wait to see you. Ok Bye.” She ended the call and looked over at me.
“Do you know this street?” She said raising her hand so I could see it.
“Rodgers Avenue, yeah I know it.” Rodgers Avenue was in the middle class part of town. At least I knew she would be safe and I wouldn’t have to worry too much.
“Are you sure you want to go there? You can stay with me.”
“Drake, I barely know you. Besides, we have decided to take this slow and get to know each other.” She was right. I hope I didn’t scare her.
“I know, but you don’t know her either.”
“You have a point, but I have to give this a try. She is the only family I have and I want to get to know her again. I have to try to trust people again.”
“I understand. We should be there in few minutes.”
