It was a nice night for a drive. The air was warm and clear, a light breeze kept the scent of the pollution from being overly strong. He had been having a difficult time lately and needed some time away from home to help clear his head. He started out just making a drive across town when he received a text message, it was her again. Their meeting had been one coincidence that had been a pleasant surprise.
He had been out drinking at his favorite spot when he encountered her. He tell from the way she was sitting that she was not looking for company or to be bothered, but he thought perhaps he could make her feel a little better by just being around. So, he struck up a conversation and by the end of the night he was her unofficial "bodyguard". He helped her fend off the unwanted attentions of several barflys. When the night came to an end, they were saying goodbye and traded phone numbers. This was not something that he ever did. The next morning he found her number in his pants, he laughed at himself and threw the number away. He just figured he would never hear from her again. She surprised him by calling him and again by actually being an interesting person. They had become friends and talked online and texted back and forth at times. He could feel them becoming emotionally closer as well.
There were sometimes when they hugged each other, her body felt so good in his arms. He liked to look into her eyes and see the person she hid from the rest of the world. He told her about the potential to be great that he saw inside of her. He challenged her to be that person, to grow beyond who she was currently. There had been moments when he could feel she wanted for him to reach out and kiss her. He did not want to rush anything and he was a little nervous about where this might lead.
When he received the text asking him what he was doing, he debated his answer before responding. He eventually texted back that he was going for a drive to clear his head. She asked if she could come along and he relented. He pulled up into the parking lot as she was coming downstairs. He liked the way she moved when she saw him. Her face seemed to light up, it was easy to see she enjoyed his presence. She climbed into the passenger seat and he took a moment to enjoy her smell before driving off.
