On the run (Closed)

[BeachBum25]

His eyes moved up and down her body as she took the drink of her beer. He knew why someone would be upset at losing her, but he never could understand anyone being as obsessed as she described her ex.

"I think if we are going to be around here for a while that we will need to find someplace a little more friendly. We are getting a lot of looks. Of course, that is probably because of the beautiful woman I am having a drink with." He smiled at her.

 

[Asa]

She bit her lip at his kind words and shrugged.

This place is okay unless you just wanna find some place else. I don't know how many places this little town would have.

 

[BeachBum25]

"As long as you are okay with it, I am okay with it. I just want you to be comfortable if we get a chance to go out."

He called the bartender over and ordered two more beers. He was really enjoying her company, especially since she was opening up...even if it was just a little.

 

[Asa]

I am out and not having to worry about attitude loud drunk griping and people picking fights I am fine.

She shrugged and smiled

 

[BeachBum25]

When the bartender delivered their beers he asked him about getting some beer to go. The bartender nodded and told him it would be no problem. He handed the beer to Jaidyn and he took a sip of his.

He looked around and saw a jukebox and decided to play a few songs. " Anything you want to hear?" He asked...nodding toward the jukebox.

 

[Asa]

Whatever is fine. I rarely find the music I really like actively in here in the states. A friend of mine turned me on to some bands from Europe that she got to hear a lot while she was over there with work. Beyond that I love just about any music.

She shrugged taking a drink of her beer and smiled.

 

[BeachBum25]

Although she had opened up a little, she was still quite reserved. Her response to the question showed this. He shrugged his shoulders and went over and played some music. It was random. He thought that maybe she would like something that he played.

He returned to his stool and took a drink. He looked around the bar again. Just then he saw something. He wasn't positive, but the guy at the other end of the bar looked like someone he had seen before. He couldn't place where, but he was pretty sure he had seen the guy before.

He told Jaidyn they had to go. He told her to remain calm. When they were in the car and driving back to the house, he explained it to her. He told her that he was just being cautious. The whole way back he checked the rear view mirror to see if they were being followed.....they were not. He relaxed as he pulled the car around back. "Sorry to cut our night out short. It seems that I was just being paranoid."

 

[Asa]

Its okay... maybe we can just watch tv or something. Staying in or going out... whatever is fine. I am just glad to be... free.

She smiled to him as she got out of the car and started for the back door.

 

[BeachBum25]

He followed her up the steps and in the back door. He had to admit that she was extremely easy on the eyes. They walked inside and he went into his room to change. The one thing he hated about being in a bar here in the middle of nowhere was that they still allowed smoking and his clothes smelled of it.

After changing he walked into the living room to see if the television actually worked. He was happy to find out that it did. He started flipping through the channels.

 

[Asa]

Heading to her room she changed into some soft yoga pants and a t shirt to be more relaxed and walked back down seeing that the tv worked and smiled.

Now what is on that is any good? A movie... Home renovation show to give us ideas for this place

She laughed a little and smiled curling up on the far end of the couch. A very almost defensive look but seemed to be unconscious actions for her. Another little tidbit about her past revealing itself in the simplest of actions.

 

[BeachBum25]

He saw Jaidyn curl up at the end of the couch, and decided to sit in the big overstuffed chair. It looked like she was uncomfortable being alone around him, so, he kept his distance. He tossed the remote onto the couch. "Find something you would like to watch. I really don't care."

 

[Asa]

She watched him move and sighed biting her lip. She realized what she was doing and moved to relax a little more.

Okay...

She found some random comedy and tried to relax more.

 

[BeachBum25]

He watched as she flipped through. He channels and then settled for a comedy. He liked her choice, and laughed at some of the scenes.

He glanced over at her periodically. He wasn't sure how to read her yet. He wanted to be friends with her......actually he would be happy with a little more than friends, but she was quite distant at times.

 

[Asa]

She wanted to open up but was not sure how... she had not really dealt with anyone that cared about getting to know her for a long time. She did notice him looking over from time to time.

Sorry just... not used to having anyone around that wasn't around for him... ya know.

She bit her lip

You don't have to be afraid to talk if ya want.

 

[BeachBum25]

He realized that she saw him glancing over at her. He smiled at her. "I am not afraid to talk. Heck, most of the time my friends would tell me to shut up and stop talking. I just don't want to say anything to upset you....or to make you nervous. I know you have been through a lot."

He looked back at the tv and chuckled at one of the scenes. He just wanted her to feel comfortable around him. She was someone that he felt comfortable with.

 

[Asa]

She laughed a little as well at the tv.

I guess I really wouldn't mind talking... just not used to having anyone that would want to talk around.

She tried relaxing a little more as she watched the show.

 

[BeachBum25]

He turned and faced her as she sat at the end of the couch. He smiled at her again.

"I am a really good listener too. If there is something you want to talk about, or just something you want to get off your chest ( he glanced down at her breasts, somewhat unconsciously when he said this) I am here. I will. Be happy to listen or talk with you."

 

[Asa]

What do you wanna know or talk about?

She smiled a little more stretching out more on the couch and reclining a little.

 

[BeachBum25]

"I want to know anything you are willing to share with me. I want to talk about anything that will help you relax and understand that I am not going to do anything to hurt you in any way."

He thought about how he felt about her. It happened so quickly, but he felt that he wanted......needed to protect her and to help her in any way that he could.

 

[Asa]

I guess I don't really know where to start. He never really cared much about talking except to his buddies.

She shrugged and watched the show change and glanced back over at him.

 

[BeachBum25]

"We'll, he was a fool then. If he would rather have talked to his buddies than to talk with you, it shows that you deserve much better. You did the right thing. Believe me."

He continued to smile at her. He wanted to project a positive image. "Now that the show is over, what else would you like to watch......or is there something else that you would like to do?"

 

[Asa]

She smiled a little at his words blushing a little and shrugged.

We can keep talking if you want.

 

[BeachBum25]

"Sure, we can keep talking. I enjoy talking with you. You are easy to talk to. I like talking to get to know people. They reveal so much without even knowing it."

He smiled again...hoping she would open up.

 

[Asa]

What do you want to know?

He seemed so nice and she was really liking having him around she was quickly forgetting her worry that her ex would come hunting or send someone to find her.

 

[BeachBum25]

"I want to know anything you are willing to share. I am also willing to share anything about myself, so, if you want to know anything...just ask."

He wanted to know more about her. She seemed really nice, and he was certain she would be fun if he got her to open up.
