Chasing Twenty Two - Part 1
(Freya Milano)
Casper turns out to be nice small town. I don’t know why I’m still staying lay low around Wyoming. This county has its charm. It feels like home, so quiet and natural. I may also hope somehow Alexander would look for me so I wouldn’t be too far and easy for him to find. I don’t want to just go back unless he’s begging me to. He doesn’t want me anymore so I have to act like I don’t either. For the time being, I can enjoy my little freedom around this quiet small county. I don’t think I have visited every town there is here. I’m most excited to see the lake which is almost in every small town in this county.
I come here a little early that I have drunk a glass of coffee and Hayden hasn’t come. This is the only well-known café in this town. It shouldn’t be that hard to find. I check my phone just in case he sends me a message. I consider calling him if he doesn’t come in an hour. I hate waiting moreover waiting alone. There’s no one I can talk to and I get bored as easy as flipping a hand.
My eyes dart the entrance and someone who just comes in the entrance gets me stunned. I don’t get stunned ever but his coming here is quite the twist for me. I curse, feeling annoyed. He looks simply dashing though in more casual style than usual, grey shirt and leather jacket. He never wears leather jacket before and it looks hot on him. I shake my head and sigh. Keep it together Freya I tell myself.
I get up as he gets closer. He looks so nervous and cautious I can feel it. “What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to convince you to go home.” He tilts his head whenever he wants to look at me at the same level eyes. He may not realize it but those wet caramel eyes are irresistible. I have to look away from that look to snap out of it.
“I’m not going home. I’m not going anywhere with you. How about you just save your time and go before I change my mind? You don’t want to trigger me.” I get closer to him and tilt my head up that I can feel his breath on my face. I can feel his heart is beating faster on my chest that’s just an inch away from his chest. “You’re not who I wish to come. So just go home and tell Alexander, I don’t want to be babysat anymore.” I brush my shoulder roughly against his chest and walk past him.
He grabs my hand. That sure takes some guts. He’s not a touchy person, seldom lays a hand on me for whatever reason. “He won’t come. Hayden is not coming. I was the one who replied to your message.”
I throw his hand and turn around. “What the hell Walker! You’re way out of your mind.” I shove is chest but he doesn’t budge. “I was starting to like you but you can’t just stop being a pain in the ass. Maybe trusting you with Alexander was a mistake too. Now here you are acting like you want to fix us.”
I stomp my foot and shove him again and he just jerks a little. He’s gotten stronger. “Look at yourself Walker. Do you always have to mind someone else business?” I scoff. “Oh yeah you just have nothing to do. You can’t even go for what you want and get stuck in that stupid small town being Alexander’s errand boy.” I hit his chest again in frustration. “I swear if you follow me again. I’ll drive you so crazy that you wish you never meet me.” I walk away and leave him speechless in his place.
When I get out of the café, I see his truck on the parking lot. I stop for a while and an idea strikes my mind. I know how persistent Jamie can be. He won’t just let me go without a fight. So I decide to give him a little something to remember. I walk to his truck and wait there.
“Freya.” He stops a few feet upon seeing me. He looks anxious when I give him a smirk. He may know that I’m up for something not good.
I take a few steps and search him for the keys. “Give me your keys. My car is in service.” My hands are searching for his keys all over his body while I know they are in his jeans pocket.
“What do you want Freya?” He’s holding his breath but doesn’t seem to want to fight me since he knows that I’m in a bad mood. I intentionally take so long in taking the keys when my hand gets in his jeans pocket. His thigh is so tough like every part of him.
I take out the keys then wink. “A night to remember.” I push him before he can grab the keys back. “Get in the car. I’m driving.”
As he gets on the passenger seat, I warn him. “You want so bad to insert yourself in my life. I’ll give you a little taste of what you’ve got yourself into.” I pat his thigh. He’s so tense. My hand lingers on his body then pulls the seatbelt. “Relax, Walker. We’re just getting started. You deserve some one fun daring night out of your busy days. Fasten your seatbelt.” I put his seatbelt on for him.
Once we get out of the parking lot, I hit the gas pedal till it hits the top speed. The snow on the street is flown away around the truck. The best part about pulling a stunt like this is the thrill. I drive in careless way that makes him uneasy. The road is quiet enough. I can use all the speed and drive in zigzag. He has one hand on his seat and the other on the seatbelt.
“Freya, don’t do this please!” I hit the break in a sudden and he’s thrown to the front but the seatbelt keeps back in place. He lets out a breath. “Look I understand that you’re mad and hurting. But I did what I thought was best for you.”
I hit the gas pedal again when he’s just managed his breathless breath. “Screw with that Walker as if you knew what’s best for me!” I’m grinning. “I haven’t done this in a long time!” I slowly let go of the wheel when I know it is a long road ahead. “You’ll thank me for this experience Walker. Loosen up! I’m not letting you die on me tonight.”
“Damn it Freya! Get your hands back on the wheel!” he shouts in fear. He wants to get his hands on the wheel but I prevent him with my hand. He’s strong but definitely no stronger than me. I can feel the heat from his palms when I prevent his hands to get near the wheel. His fear is real but that’s like my guilty pleasure to hear his heart racing like crazy.
His stubborn ass annoys me though knowing he won’t get past my hand. “Back off Walker! Say that you’re sorry for what you do!” I shove his hands off my left hand.
He yells a bit unclear but I can catch his words. “I’m sorry that I violated your privacy and hijack your date but I’m not sorry for trying to get you to come home.” I let out a sigh. He’s really not going to give up easy.
My sight sees from afar a three-way and I hit the break at the same time I put my hands back on the wheel, taking the right turn. We almost hit another car and the driver shouts a curse word. I curse back at him louder.
I feel a little out of breath. I can’t help but laughing out of excitement. I look at Jamie who slumps in his seat. He’s completely dazed, looking terrified. I can hear his heart thumping and pumping the blood so fat that I can feel the rush just by looking at him. His chest is heaving.
“That was just a starter. I’m getting bored.” I drive in normal speed now to the local motel where I’m staying. We get there in less than ten minutes. “Get out.”
He still sounds out of breath but better. “I’m not coming with you.”
“Isn’t that what you came here for?” I lean on my side and turn my head to look at him. “Okay, you said you’re sorry for ruining my date. Now it’s your chance to make it up.” I undo his seatbelt.
“No.” He shakes his head in an instant.
I lean in closer to him. My nose brushes his cheek. “You smell like fear. Don’t hold your breath because I’m about to wreck your night.” I pull back on my seat and warn him. “If you don’t want to come with me, I’ll drink everyone blood, in that little diner across the street, to the point of almost dying so their deaths will be on you. You’ll feel so guilty that you can’t save them all.” I take out the keys with me and open the door.
“You won’t do that.” He’s so sure of what he says but at the same time sounds very cautious.
I scoff. “Don’t test me. Maybe it’s time for you to know what I do when I’m hurting.” I jump out of the truck. “Chop, chop Walker! The clock is ticking.” I yell at him from outside the truck.
