Running from Fumes

I open my eyes to the sun shining brightly through my cream colored curtains. I inhale deeply and stretch my body relishing the warmth of my king sized bed. "My empty bed." I think to myself chuckling as I throw my blankets off of me. Today is Sunday, family dinner. Regardless of what plans we have on Sundays, we cancel for dinner. Or bring the plans with us. Mama doesn't care too much for my flings coming to dinner with me so I've made it a point to never make plans on these Sundays. I do have a two hour drive to get to my parents home so I jump up to shower and get things ready to go. As I step into my warm shower letting the water flow over me I try to relax. It's been a tough few weeks and I missed the last family dinner. I'm ready to see my mom and dad. Today will be a day to refill my heart with love and joy. I start washing my hair and move onto shaving my legs as I let my deep conditioner sit for a few minutes. Humming to myself I stop as I hear a click. I live alone. There shouldn't be anyone here. No one else has a key. Was that the door? Suddenly I feel a whoosh of cold air and realize the air conditioner kicked on. I chuckle nervously as I realize I'm being jumpy still. Shaking my head I push the thought away. I had a few small things come up missing around the house. So small I could have easily misplaced them but a niggly feeling in the back of my mind tells me I'm not crazy. I've been extra careful about locking the windows and doors when I'm not home and even installed an extra dead bolt on my front and back doors so I've been feeling much better and more confident. I rinse the conditioner from my hair and lather up my loofah with my coconut & pear scented body wash. I scrub and exfoliate my whole body but linger between my legs. Biting my lip, I wonder if I have time for a quick orgasm while unconsciously my other hand finds my soapy breasts and tweaks my own nipple. Yup. I'll make time. I can't go on a date tonight anyways as I validate my own thoughts. I look down at my flat stomach as I drop my loofah and reach up to grab the shower head and bring it down to my body and adjusted the setting. Whoever made these has to know that no one showers with this setting. It's obviously meant for this. It's a long hard, powerful stream that would be very difficult to actually shower with. I shrug to myself as I feel the power of the stream hitting my stomach. I gently lower it to the aching part of me with one hand, and with the other I continue teasing my nipple. It's been a long time since I've had a release, so this one finds me quickly. In no time a moan escapes from my mouth and I gasp out. My legs feel wobbly and shakily I return the shower head to where it was. Completely unaware of the man who silently slipped out of the bathroom when he found his release as well.

Chapter 15

Rose and Cal order their food. Cal looks nervous, with his eyes darting everywhere and constantly looking over his shoulder. Still oblivious to the person watching them a few tables down.

"Cal, what's wrong?" He swallows his food hard, considering what to say, before deciding to play an oblivious card. "Well you're running from some guy and it makes me nervous. Are you not?"

She chews her food slowly, considering her answer. "No, honestly I'm not scared of being found. I'm just scared that he's a monster. I'm scared that he's waited for me my whole life. I'm scared he's mad that I've run away. I'm scared that when he finds me l'll be locked away in a dungeon and forced to have his kids and never see my family or you again. So I wonder if it's better to wave the white flag and surrender and accept this fate." She finishes talking and her eyes glimmer with tears.

Cal looks at her with shock and admiration. "Rose you're the strongest woman I've ever met. I'm game with whatever you want to do. You tell me, I'm there." She smiles at him and sniffles, grabbing his hand across the table "Thank you. I'm so glad you're here. I think I want to keep driving and go a little farther. Maybe have a week to ourselves before I'm doomed to this man." Cal shakes his head and takes another sip of his drink. "Eat up sweet cheeks, let's hit the road."

"Can you grab me a to-go box? I'm gonna hit the ladies room and then we can go." She stands up and grabs her purse. Her phone falls out onto the seat, she doesn't notice.

As she walks to the bathroom the lady behind the menu also stands up and follows her there.

Rose sits on the toilet and hears the bathroom door open, another person has come in to use the bathroom. She watches under the door as she sees women's bright red shoes walk by, and stop in front of her stall. She watches as a perfectly polished and manicured hand slides a note under the door and the feet quickly retreat and she walks out. Finished and put back together, Rose grabs the note and itching with curiosity, she puts it in her purse so she can wash her hands.

As she walks out of the bathroom she bumps into Cal as he walks out of the mens room. "Ready?" She nods her head and walks back to the table and plucks her to-go bag from the top of the table. Never noticing the phone sitting in the booth.

As she walks out, she looks for the woman with the bright red shoes and sees none anywhere. Dying to open the note she rushes out with Cal to get to the car, without checking to make sure she had all of her items.

As soon as the door of the restaurant closes and Rose is gone, a beautiful woman, wearing bright red shoes, walks over to the booth and plucks the phone up as if she'd dropped it there herself and slides it into her purse without a single person looking her way.

She walks out of the restaurant, and slides into her dazzling red Camaro and continues on with her journey, following Rose and Cal, hoping to find who... and what, she's looking for.
