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 3

Somehow my phone is on silent and I missed 4 calls from my mom while I showered. She's usually very easygoing and calm, she never overreacts. My mother is a small, gentle, and nurturing woman. But I know she has power over her weird circle of friends. Anytime she walks into the room they stare in awe and listen as though she's an Angel delivering news from the Lord himself. As I think about it, it's actually the whole town. And... anyone we've ever met. Hmm.

I dial her number back quickly, my heart rate picks up. Something about today feels off and things keep adding to it. I have an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach.

"Rose?" I roll my eyes as she says my name. Who else would it be?

My mother has a gorgeous sing-song voice. She could rock you into a gentle sleep just by speaking to you. "Hi mom, it's early. Is everything okay? Dad and my sisters?" I hear her sigh in relief. Weird. "Hi honey. Sorry, I know it's early. I wanted to make sure you were still planning on coming to dinner tonight." She never calls to see if I'm coming to dinner... "Yes mom. Is everything okay??" She pauses for a moment before she answers, "Honey we need to have a talk. I'm glad you were planning on coming because your dad will be there in about 45 minutes to drive you here himself. And before you say anything, I know you have a car and don't need an escort. But please don't fight me on this. Pack your things. I have a feeling you'll be here for a while."

I take a breath to ask- "And Rose, don't ask me what we need to talk about. It's not a conversation you have over the phone. We will talk when you get here." Dumbfounded I can only respond "Okay mom. Love you" I hear the smile in her voice as she says "I love you too honey." I hang up and frown to myself. I heard sadness in her voice too. Something is very very very weird. I don't know if I want to find out.

I feel my phone buzz and look down to see a text from my friend Cal.

"Open your door I have bagels and coffee" I smile and shake my head. He always seems to be around when I need a friend. Breakfast though, it feels like a special occasion.

I skip to my door and unlock both dead bolts and fling it open with a wide smile. Cal is standing there in all his large beauty with a toothpick hanging from his mouth. His hair is shoulder length, wavy. It's light brown with natural sun kissed highlights all throughout. He has hazel eyes just like mine.

His dark leather jacket is hugging his baby blue t shirt but I can still see the muscles rippling through. His blue jeans fit on his lower half like they were made for him. Hell, maybe they were. I didn't realize I was staring until he drops me back into reality on my head. "If I was a girl you probably would have just gotten me almost pregnant with that lust filled look. Christ." He rolls his beautiful eyes and pushes past me, bumping my shoulder on purpose and staring me down the whole walk to my kitchen.
