Eve

I woke up to a loud banging at the hotel door and I jumped because it took me a minute to realize that I wasn’t still in the jail. I saw the walls around me and the bed underneath me, but it still took me a minute to adjust to it all.

“Coming!”

I started to walk towards the door and the rest of the evening started to come back to me and I looked down to realize that I wasn’t even dressed. I must have passed out after we had sex. I didn’t know who was at the door but a big part of me hoped that it was Stan coming back for round two. He had been a lot of fun and I wouldn’t mind getting myself a little more before the time was up and reality was back in session.

The person knocked again, and I told them to hold on. My thought of it being Stan changed because I couldn’t see him being this pushy about it. I didn’t expect to find Carl on the other side of the door when I opened it. He was supposed to be back home. I didn’t know that he was coming here. My eyes fell to the man standing behind him and I gave him a little bit of a smile.

Well, this was going to change everything.

“Carl, you’re here!”

“Well don’t sound so happy about it sis.”

“Of course, I’m happy you’re here, it’s just a bit of a shock. I didn’t know you were coming and I know you hate to fly.”

“I couldn’t let you face this all alone Eve.”

I was touched, and I moved to hug him. It was good to see him. I just hadn’t thought I would see him right now. I was geared up to have my brains fucked out of me by his friend. Carl’s sudden appearance certainly was going to put a damper on things and that saddened me a little bit. I don’t know if it was more than the elation of seeing him.

“Thanks Carl. I’m glad you’re here. I can’t believe you came all this way.”

“I had to.”

I was going to leave it at that because we both knew that he was here because our parents couldn’t be. We’d all promised each other that we’d help each other, and he took that vow very seriously. Carl had always been a good big brother and for a moment I felt bad about the fact that I had went behind his back with Stan.

“So, did you get yourself a room? They’re not too bad, but a little small.”

He put his hand on his neck and rubbed it. “There are no more rooms, so we’re going to have to bunk up together. You don’t mind, do you?”
I didn’t mind of course, but I knew what that meant. That meant that I had no chance of having another visit from Stan. It meant that once was all we were going to get. That’s all I could really think about and no other issues mattered.

“Great, you know that I don’t mind at all Carl.”

“Maybe we can find you something tomorrow or something will open up.”

He was already walking in and setting his bags down. “Yeah maybe.”

Carl didn’t sound so sure and I was now sure that I certainly wasn’t going to get another go at Stan. That was disappointing.

Our eyes met as he was turning around to leave and go back to his room. Maybe I was going to have to be the one that went to his room in the middle of the night.

Carl asked me something and I turned around to answer him. I shut the door and sighed inwardly, hoping that I would be able to figure something out. I knew that I wanted another few moments with Stan before court. I didn’t know what was going to happen, but I knew that I wanted to feel him inside of me just one more time no matter what.

The rest of the weekend was just a chance for everyone to go out and look around. I was here for sightseeing in the beginning after all and it seemed like such a waste to be in such a beautiful part of the world and not even look around. It didn’t make sense and I was still thinking about if everything didn’t work out, I wanted to see what I could, do what I could, while I still had a chance to do it. I know that I wasn’t meant to go to jail. I hadn’t really done anything wrong, but I also knew that sometimes it didn’t matter whether a person was innocent or not. My life was in someone else’s hands and I was nervous.

Callie seemed to be taking it better than I was. We talked a little bit about what can happen, and she was convinced that everything was going to be okay. She didn’t have any reason to feel that way, she told me so herself, but at the end of the day, she knew that it was all going to work out fine.

“I mean, you got to see an old crush from like one hundred years ago, you two hit it off, what can’t we get free as well? It looks like you’re on a roll.”

I didn’t like the way that she put that, and I tried to deny what happened with Stan, but Callie told me that she knew.

“How did you know?”

“You smelled like him the next morning and the way you two look at each other is kind of sickening.”

She made a face that made me laugh. There never was no fooling Callie. We’d known each other a long time and I didn’t try to hide it. She knew how I’d felt about him when we were younger.

“Was it all that you thought it would be?”

I nodded my head and told her that it was. “It was something I’ve never experienced before. I mean, he knew what he was doing. Older guys usually do, but there was just something about Stan that I can’t explain. It was more than I could have hoped it to be.”

“I will have to take your word for it, though I can see in your eyes that you’re feeling all that old stuff again. Makes me think that I need to find a man too. Your brother is looking pretty damn cute nowadays.”

I rolled my eyes. “He is all in love with someone else. I don’t think he is giving anyone the time of day Callie, no offense.”

“None taken. It’s good to hear that he found someone.”

She was feeling left out, and I didn’t want to leave her alone. It had turned out to be this strange pair up, but that was all in the past. We hadn’t been able to spend any time together or talk about what we did the other night. All I was able to do was smile at him a couple of times since then.

“Hell, it’s good to hear that you found someone Eve. It’s about damn time.”

I was about to protest the fact that I hadn’t found anyone when Carl walked up.

“You found someone Eve? Not here I hope.”
