Chapter 5:Jake
“I’m telling you David,” I said, hyped up on coffee and love. “I’ve never met a girl like this before.” I met with my friends for brunch but mainly to talk about Catalina—the exotic and mysterious beauty.
“The fact that you still call her GIRL makes me think you’re just chasing tail,” Amelia said, pissy as always.
“Oh can it, woman. I don’t raise a stink whenever a girl calls me a guy.”
“Yeah but as you proved with Kim, all you want is sex. So I don’t believe you when you say you’re in love.”
“It’s different this time,” I said after a head shake. “She’s unlike anyone I’ve ever met before. She’s…mysterious. Sexy. And just…so out of this world.”
“Like an alien?” David said with a wry look on his face.
“You know what I mean!”
“I dunno,” David replied. Sounds suspicious to me. If she’s not looking you in the face that’s not really mysterious. That’s creepy, like extremely paranoid or psychotic.”
“Yeah,” Amelia added. “What if you wake up without a kidney or something?”
“I think she’s just shy,” I said, though I was definitely not confident about it. Their paranoia started to rub off on me and before I knew it, I was doubting my own feelings. I asked Catalina out and offered her a few different options.
Strangely enough, she only agreed to go to the movies. It didn’t help my paranoia at all. It seemed she was dead set against us making any significant eye contact.
Still, it was cool to sit so close to Catalina in a dark and cool area. It gave us the chance to snuggle. As the movie progressed, she eventually loosened up and let me put my arm around her.
Her body warmed to me and I felt our attraction growing stronger by the minute. It was that amazing sexual tension that comes along once in a lifetime—where you don’t even have to speak. You just want to touch. You just want to get closer.
At first it was just our elbows touching. She didn’t stop me from bonding with her body. She craved it, I craved it. I couldn’t see her face, dammit, but her aura was all over me. I did something I’ve never done before—I just started necking her right in the theatre!
I was sure she would slap me away, but to my surprise, my forward thinking only propelled us to new heights. She didn’t stop me. Her body became more tense, but her voice was sultry and her breathing shallow. She felt so warm and I wanted to get closer. I kissed her neck quietly, softly, not wanting to alert anybody, but unable to resist for another moment.
She rubbed her face—her mysterious face—against mine and I placed more forbidden kisses on her forehead, her cheeks and her chin. We couldn’t talk…we couldn’t even look at each other. But our desire was unhinged! This woman was crazy and maybe one of the few that could keep up with me sexually…
And yet…also be as defensive as I am when it comes to intimacy. Christ, the woman wouldn’t even let me look her in the eye.
The movie ended before we knew it and we had to leave the theater; me with a big hard on I had to hide and her wet and blushing.
You’d think now would be the reasonable time to have sex in a bathroom stall or something but not with this crazy girl…
“I better just go home,” she said, as always sending me just one glance.
“What? Oh my god! Seriously?! You…you know…you…”
“What?” she said with a bit of a smirk.
“I dunno. I know the type, man. Just wham bam thank you, sir. I’m not a sex toy, you know. I mean I am, but I’m a sex toy with feelings!”
She laughed, still turning away and preventing me from getting closer. “I’m sorry, Jake. I’m not that type of girl. I don’t have sex on the first or second or even third date.”
“All right,” I said, a bit disappointed but not giving up, not by a long shot.“Can I see you again?”
“You are just incorrigible, Jake!” she said with a flirty snicker.
“I am. I’m usually not like this…but you put a spell on me!”
“Okay. We can get together and TALK again. But nothing else.”
“Deal. How do I get a hold of you anyway?”
She hesitated. “I was going to say by phone. But if you’re a gentleman and promise not to stalk me tonight…”
“Promise.”
“It’s room 232,” she said with a wink.
Sounds like a great happy ending, right? Oh My God, no! I couldn’t believe what happened next. I was so elated about my date I told my FRIEND Stephanie everything that happened and she expressed support. A lot of “Go you!” and “Great!”
I made the mistake of telling her the apartment number, because I wasn’t thinking. After all, what could go wrong?
Well, I’ll tell you what went wrong…
The next morning, after honoring my promise, I decided to come pay my very sexy mystery woman a visit. Maybe a little beach walking, or touring, maybe a breakfast out. Sounds romantic right?
The door opens and behold! Stephanie sits there, just waking up and wearing an after-sex t-shirt. And believe me, I know what those shirts look like.
She was in Catalina’s apartment! She seduced my girlfriend!
Well granted, Catalina wasn’t my girlfriend yet. But come on, I have never met such a huge cock block and bro-beater in all my life. What, so lesbians just like to flex nuts and steal every guy’s dream woman? Is it some competitive thing?
I stormed off in rage. She tried to holler at me and apologize but it was too late. How could a friend do this to me? How could anyone rationalize this? Stephanie wasn’t stupid…she knew exactly what she was doing. And I was the biggest schmuck in the world!
