When I met you

Ch2.Hideaway pt2

“I-I um” I turned and pointed to the door and turned back to Jensen “I um” Oh my God I know how to talk, what is wrong with me. “Sorry I was trying to get away from my ex.” Then there was a knocking on the door.

“Raven come on. Let’s talk. Please” Jensen grabs my arm softly and walks me to his closet. Then closes the door to then open the other. “Rav- Oh sorry dude. Hey is my girlfriend in there? We had a fight and I need to clear the air.”

“Sorry dude but you’re the only one who bothered me.”

“Alright sorry man.” I hear the door close and Jensen opens the closet door. I say thank you.

“I guess he still thinks you guys are still together.”

“He’s the reason my brother is gone, I never want to see that guy again. He must know someone who lives here. Uhh. I guess it’s time to go home.” His beautiful brown eyes just stare at me.

“I’ll be back, you stay here.” He leaves me alone in his room and I finally have a look around the room I’m in. The walls are navy blue with a King size bed in the center, two small square tables on each side, the desk on the left side of me that had a large computer and a laptop with papers and books underneath and a big bookshelf full of books. He’s a big reader. I walk toward the books to see what he has. Some of them are school books in almost all majors. Some are books about History but none that are fictional then I see that there are a few books with no title just year dates. They must be journals or they are his note books for his classes. Jensen walks back in. “Let’s go! We only have a few minutes.” He puts on a white shirt and grabs a jacket then hands it to me. “It might get cold” I take his jacket and we leave. Heading down the stairs I then become nervous so I stop pulling the jacket to my chest I feel myself start to panic. I don’t want to run into him I can’t.

Jensen turns to face me and come back closer to me. “It’s okay he won’t see you, let’s go.” he takes my hand and leads me out the door to a bike. He grabs the helmet off the handle, faces me, takes out my pony tail and puts the helmet on my head. I put on his jacket and we get on the bike. I hold on to him as tight as possible. I’ve never been on a motorcycle before I don’t want to fall off.

He starts to slow down and turns right leading to a huge brick house. When he gets closer to the door he stops the bike. I climb off and take off the helmet fixing my hair, then he gets off the bike, putting his hand softly on my back leading me inside. I should feel scarred, but when I’m near him I am of course nervous but safe. “Where are we?” I ask.

“This is my house. I stay here when I don’t need to be near the campus.” the entry way leads toward the living room with high ceiling and long dark red curtains on the windows. There's a fireplace with seating chairs facing toward it and a crystallized chandelier.

“This place is beautiful!” I say looking around.

“Thanks. It use to my Aunts but she passed a few days ago.”

“I’m sorry” I look away. I know what that’s like. I can’t ever get rid of that day.

“Make yourself at home I’ll get us a drink.” I sit down on one of the chairs. “Here you go, I left the top closed for you.” he hands me an unopened bottle of Mich ultra and he has what looks like Whiskey.

“Thanks, How’d you know.” I chuckle.

“Know what?”

“I like Ultra.” I say back

“Oh, ha, what a coincidence. I only have Ultra and Whiskey and I smelt beer on your breath so I just figured.” He is smiling. God this man is handsome.

“Thank you for saving me earlier.”

“You don’t need to thank me. I wanted to leave anyway, I left something here for one of my classes, I was about to come over here when you then stormed into my room. I’m just glad you did.”

“I actually had a bet with Rebecka about you. I owe her money now.” I laugh and he does too.

“For how much?”

“Only $20, I only said it as a joke, she took the deal, If you were going to be there or not.”

“Well technically I wasn’t till I went down stairs to talk to her. I told her to distract Ethan so I could get you out.” He sets down his drink to start a fire. His back what all muscular even though he was wearing a shirt. I just want to touch him. “So what happened to your brother? You said he’s gone.” Why does he have to bring it up. I was just having a nice time. Even if it was just starting at him.

“He died in a car accident. He just got of the phone screaming at Ethen. How did you know his name anyway? I never told you.” I question him. I don’t want to talk about Caine.

“When I found Rebecka I told her that some guy was looking to talk to you, that you were hiding in my closet. She said his name.” Okay that explains it then. I nod my head. At least I can rule out him being a stalker.
