It was another typical day, nothing extraordinary had happened and Jack didn't expect it to. His life was routine and though sometimes it was monotonous, he enjoyed it. He walked into the usual meeting place, the newly built sports bar entitled Harry's. It sat right across the street from where he usually worked out so it was a convenient spot.
"Hey Jack, how's it going?"
"It's going, Joe. Let me get the usual." Jack sat down and turned to his friend. Usually Alex would greet him but this time his friend seemed to engrossed with something or rather someone on the dance floor to bother with the normal hello. Jack turned to see what had gotten his attention this time. No doubt it was another young hottie that Alex would later try to pick up. This would be typical Alex. Jack turned and looked around. On the dance floor he saw two girls dancing seductively together. The blond bumped her hips against her friend who followed suit. Soon they were grinding into each other in a rather suggestive and lewd manner. Jack rolled his eyes and smacked his friend on the shoulder.
"Earth to Alex. You said there was something important and major I needed to see, don't tell me it was this." Alex blinked a few times and turned and looked at him with a blank look on his face.
"What?" He frowned then blinked. "Oh, yeah. No, this isn't it. This was unexpected but definitely not unwanted," Alex murmured as he gave one last fleeting glance to the two gyrating girls.
"Let's go."
Jack inhaled a large breath of clean air. It felt good as opposed to the smoky confines of the bar. When he was younger that was the norm but now he was past that. He was settled.
They got into his car since Alex had his car at the auto shop. It amused him that his 34 year old friend would want to get sky lights, not to mention a 2,400 dollar kit added to his already nice Acura. Of course he had had some work done to his car too but they were minimal.
Jack drove for about 45 minutes before Alex sat up and declared that they were there, where ever there was. Jack looked at his friend. This was probably another wild idea that Alex had cooked up in his head but Jack always humored him.
Alex was fair haired and fair skinned while he was dark haired and olive skinned, his Italian background taking shape in his stature and facial features. Jack met him at the gym where they both worked out. They had done a few presses together and Alex struck up a conversation. From then on they talked and became friends. In the six months Jack had known him; Alex had dated 17 different women and took him on 2 wild goose chases, one all the way to Vegas. This was his third attempt at getting what Alex had deemed, "His Girl". Whatever he was looking for, Jack only hoped he would find it this time. They got out. Jack surveyed the tall brown stucco buildings and realized that they were at Long Beach State. Jack chuckled softly.
"Hey Alex, is she even legal?" He asked on a small laugh.
"Yeah, go ahead, laugh now but when you see her, man your just going to blow." Jack chuckled but followed Alex as he went down the hall of the art department. He stopped at a room and silently opened the door. They slipped inside and shut the door.
It was a normal art class complete with semi nude model. Jack looked at her. She was classically beautiful with fair skin and big eyes. Her blond hair was unbound and left to fall in a mussed mass down her naked back. She was sitting with her legs folded at her side holding a red satin scarf which barely held her modesty intact. If this was the girl, Jack was disappointed. Alex usually went for something alluring and exotic. Like the red head from Oregon. She was sexy as hell but Jack would never admit that, not to Alex.
"This is it?" He asked his friend.
"What do mean, "This is it"? Don't you think she's sexy as hell?" Jack turned to the model, nope nothing special there.
"God, looked at her. I would love to peel that prim dress off of her with my teeth and see what's underneath it," Alex whispered. Jack frowned. Black dress? The model wasn't dressed. He turned then his eyes lit on her. There she was sitting serenely unaware that she was being watched. Her face was half hidden by her hair that fell in a tumbled black waterfall of curls. He continued to look at her, wanting to see her face. Then, as if she heard him she looked up and Jack blinked. She was extremely young looking but there was just something about her that even her prim dress couldn't hide. Her face was small. Her pert nose was bridged by a pair of black glasses that hid most of her eyes. His eyes hit her lips and now he knew why Alex had picked her. Her lips were pouty and full and painted bright red. So Miss Innocent wasn't really innocent. My what those lips could do, Jack thought. Then he frowned and gave a small derisive smile. This was Alex's girl. He tore his eyes away and stared instead at the blond model. He concentrated on the model's almost bare form until he heard the soft ding that signaled the end of the period. Quietly everyone began to put away their supplies and leave. A few stayed and spoke with the model while others lingered talking to their peers. Miss Black Dress neatly packed her things and picked up her portfolio and headed for the door.
"Any suggestions on what to say?" Alex asked. Jack shrugged.
"It's your girl."
"Damn," muttered Alex. As she drew closer she smiled and started to walk faster. Jack looked up in surprise, she was staring straight at him. He stood up taller and was about to say hi when someone bumped passed him and walked straight into her open embrace. He kissed her on the cheek and whispered something in her ear with made her laugh. Together they left the room. Jack couldn't help but laugh at the current situation.
"What's so damn funny?" Alex growled.
"You, me, this whole thing. Why didn't you say something?" Alex started back to the car.
"Because I knew he was going to show up and they would leave together. It happens every time she's here." Jack frowned.
"So, why do you even bother?" Alex looked at him with an incredulous expression. "Are you blind! Did you not see how hot she looked?"
"She's alright," Jack lied. Of course he thought she was hot and yes he wanted to fuck her but he wasn't going to mention that right now. Alex muttered something and got into the car. Jack laugh as he started the engine, typical Alex. They drove to the end of the lot and onto the street when he spotted her. She was rushing from the car that she had gotten in earlier. She slammed the door and began to walk away. The guy rushed out and grabbed her arm. She yelped and dropped her portfolio. She then brought her free arm back and smashed the heel of her hand into his nose. He quickly let go and she grabbed her things and hurried down the street. The guy grabbed his nose and continued to curse. Then he spat onto the ground and got into his car. Jack watched as he sped off and wondered if Alex would want to stop her. At the sound of the car door slamming, Jack turned in time to see Alex walk across the street. In curiosity Jack followed.
"Hey, excuse me! Hey!" Yup, Jack thought, Alex was smooth. Alex caught up to her and grabbed her arm. She tried to yank free but he spun her around. He grabbed her by both shoulders and looked at her.
