Chapter 16

Is there a mutual attraction brewing here?

 Watching Frank as he carries the bags of groceries and other items,I muse on how Frank body is so much more muscular than that of most men. He obviously takes care of himself and keeps active .

 

I remember clearly both times when he picked me up. He did it so effortlessly! He picked me off the ground and threw me over his shoulders as if I were only a small child.   His arms were wrapped around me so tightly.  I tried to fight him off but I couldn’t because he grasped me so tight. He is powerful.

 

I bite my bottom lip and continue to think about being trapped in Frank's arms. After he finishes putting things away in the kitchen he notices my far away look. He must realize that im thinking of something serious,and by the manner that I have bitten my lip he must know that the look I have has nothing to do with me missing home. My look seems to indicate I am being mischievous somehow. Like I am deep in thought and hiding something.

I speak softly to her,"Alex,what are you thinking about?"   

~ 

I can only manage to say,after being jerked back to reality at 2 a.m. after such a long day of craziness,“Frank,I wish I had another set of clothes. These are dirty.” I am happy when I see that Travis has extra clothes for me that actually seem like they might fit too.

 ~

My face is hot now as I look down at Alex’s exposed legs and wonder, Is it stupid to be so attracted to her?

 ~

I take the extra clothes that Frank hands me and say,"Well I’m gonna head to the shower for a bit. I want to get clean so that I can actually sleep. Don’t be a Peeping Tom!”

~ 

 I shake my head in disbelief. Is she becoming attracted to me too? Or maybe she’s just playing a game with me? 

~ 

I hear the shower flow begin and realize that Alex hasn’t yet shut the door all the way. The door is open just enough for me to see a glimpse of Alex slowly stripping off her clothes. I see her strip down her lavender skirt showing her cotton white panties.  Then, Alex slowly slips those off too. Then,I see her shirt and bra come falling to the floor as well. Alex is now very naked.

 

Doesn’t she know that I am watching her? I can't help but watch and that somehow is wrong!

~ 

I loop my arms behind my neck and unhook my gold necklace and gently put it down on the sink countertop,and smile to myself. I hope he is watching me. I think he is. I hope he realizes that I actually want his attention. This feels more like an actual seduction, than me being with a dangerous criminal.

 

I want to get to know this guy better. I want to see him as a real person. He doesn’t seem like he is even going to go through with this plan. He obviously just made an impulsive,spur of the moment mistake. But what happens next? Are the cops going to show up with guns blazing? And,are we going to end up in bed together in the mean time?

I can’t help these feelings. He is so beautiful in form. He is so sexy! It’s obvious that he wants me. And I can’t fight the feelings of attraction that I have in return for him. I want to be held by him again. I want those arms around me again.

But,what if he doesn’t see me that way? Am I just a meal ticket for him? I wonder if his real name is Frank. I doubt it!

 

I sigh then slip my curvy leg into the shower followed by the rest of me,and let the hot water steam and caress my skin.

 

The door to the bathroom remains open as I think of the possibilities.
