When Connor knew that the clearing to her house laid just up ahead, he stopped walking and looked down into those captivating green eyes. “Were back, Sarah.” She still had her arm wrapped around his and after a minute of contemplating she let go, but her eyes never left his. For a brief moment they were in a private world. Eventually they broke eye contact and hungered to reconnect. They walked silently through the brush and into the bright clearing till he stopped suddenly.
“Dang! I forgot!” He said a little too loudly and she jumped.
“What’s wrong, Connor?” She asked with genuine concern.
“I was supposed to go camping with my grandfather this weekend. That’s his truck.” In the driveway of his house were three vehicles, a silver Honda that belongs to Jenny, a brown jeep which is Mark’s and a red pick-up truck which belongs to his grandfather. Connor turned to look at his beautiful companion. “Sarah, Kara and the others will be worried about you. I know my sister has told everyone what she saw by now. She isn’t the patient kind of person. When you’re done with your father, will you come over to my house and show them that you’re ok? It will ease their concerns.” He looked up into the trees to think. Once a decision became clear he said “Better yet, how about I stay here and wait for you.”
“I think that would be for the best. I have to give you something in return for saving me and bringing me back home safely.” She started blushing again for some reason. Whatever she thought had allowed him to enjoy her expression. He liked knowing that he was capable of doing that.
“I do not need anything, but I will be right here. I’ll see you soon.” Connor sighed as she turned to leave. Her beautifully long hair billowed out in the breeze. The breeze engulfed him in her scent and his body reacted in a way that didn’t want her to leave his side ever again. And the way she moved as she walked will forever be firmly fixed into his mind.
The sway of her curvaceous hips became almost hypnotic and intoxicating because it was beyond impossible to look away from such perfection.
