So There's This Girl....Pt. 2

This was a quiet night, at least for me. I learned the hazel eyed beauty's name
was Jessica, but most called her Jess. It was befitting for her. We hung out in the garage mostly, talking about whatever happened to be on our minds. We made a trip up to our local 7-11, where Jess rode in the cab of Roach's truck while Tiffy and I sat in the bed. I tried to convince Jess to sit in the back with me, let Tiffy get in the cab, but nothing could get that girl to get in the bed with me! (No pun intended)

But as the night went on, Jess spoke maybe a couple of sentences, a couple of smiles, and even volenteered to be a bar buddy! Which I was perfectly fine with. It meant I got to see her pretty face more.
When it came time for her to leave, I was kind of disappointed. I wanted her to stay. But things happen and life goes on. I stood up from my beat up couch to give Tiffy a hug, and out the door they started.
"Hey, hold up!" I snipped. Jess turned around and I pulled her into a hug, "Did you honestly think you were going to get out of here without a hug? See you soon, and don't be a stranger."
She felt...right in my arms. I didn't really take this to heart at the time, but Jess was nice to hug.
"Bye," Jess said quietly with a little smile, the two scampering out the garage.

"She was cute." I told my friend as I put Sims 2 into my PS2.
"Yeah, she was cute." Roach said, lighting up another cigarette. To say she loved to smoke would be an understatement.
"Are you even going to drink anymore?" she asked.
I didn't notice til Roach mentioned it... I hadn't took a drink since Jess and Tiffy arrive, and even after they left.

After about an hour of playing Sims, creating a new family and whatnot, I got a new text message from Tiffy.
"Jessica thinks your cute"
I'm sure it said more, but I don't really remember what it said. I was more excited over the fact that she found me attractive. I didn't even get the vibe that she was any gay of any sort! Jess broke my gay-dar.
"Give her my number," I texted back, "and tell her to call me tonight."

I never got that call. I was actually rather disappointed. I thought maybe she was too nervous or something... or just didn't want to talk. I dunno.
Either way it goes, I went to bed that night around 1am, which was rather early for me. And I went to bed on a mostly sober basis. I slept til around 10am the next day, reluctantly pulling myself from my warm bed to start about my day. Today was my day off, so it would just be a lazy day til I decided to go out to party.
I got on my computer after getting something to eat, and checked my facebook. Much to my surprise, I had a friend request. I rolled my eyes, I figured it was another perve or something along those lines... but it wasn't.
Jess wanted to be my friend.
So, without a second thought, I accepted her request. Maybe she wasn't quite a face to face girl. Which wouldn't surprise me. Jess, from first impression, was the quiet type. Never talked unless spoken to. The quiet innocent girl. Very much my type.
Not even an hour later, I got a pop up on Facebook chat. No one ever talked to me on Facebook. They more than likely had my AIM or phone number.
"Hello." was the only text I got from this pretty girl. She took the first initiative to say hi.
"Hey." I answered with a smile on my face.
From there it turned into a 4 or 5 hour conversation, just on the computer. It seemed like we never ran out of anything to talk about, and we had similar feelings on most topics. Jess had been hurt in the past, as have I. We reflected each other. Two faces staring into the same mirror. Finally, I decided it was time to take action.
".... So would it maybe possibly be a possibility that I could possibly see you
tonight?" is what I typed.
She said yes.
So we agreed to meet up that night around 6pm. I would go to her house, just me, and get to know her face to face.
This night would change my life.

I pulled up to her house, pulling off to the side to allow others in. I couldn't beleive that she lived about 20 minutes away from me all this time. Who would've guessed? I passed her house nearly every weekend.
I barely had time to get up the three steps on her porch, knocking on her door, before she opened it. Jess was smiling, which caused me to smile. The way her face would glow would warm my soul.
"Hey! Come on in," She said, quietly, but happily.
Once I stepped in, the first thing I noticed was her cat. From a previous conversation, I learned her name was Trouble. And if looks could kill I would be dead right now. I saw the black fur on the back of her neck puff slightly as she let out an apprehensive 'meow'.
"If it's ok... I'd like to go down to the farm down the street. There's someone I want you to meet." She asked, with such a gentle voice. How could I say no?

It's a good thing I had a truck, cuz the drive way was pretty jacked up. There was even holes that my poor little truck could hardly get through. But once we were there, we stepped out and walked back towards the barn, where I met one of her beloves. It was a stunning horse name Stud.
He seemed to like me ok. He nipped at me a little playfully, and Jess smiled, "He's just playing. He's really nice."
Jess absolutely loves horses. I could see it in her eyes as we walked around and looked at the other horses. She adored them, every one of them.
Soon, we were back at her house, sitting in her room. She had a comfortable bed, and a rather nice room. It was comfortable.
If there is anything to learn about Jess, is that she really opens up one on one. I mean, really opens up. She had a lot to say, but I was ok with that. I was hanging on to her every word, learning more about her likes, dislikes, and wants in life.
I'm almost positive we spent 2 more hours just talking, which resulted in us stretched out on her bed, side by side. A stuffed alligator was stretched across my stomach, the two of us laughing and giggling as I animated him. I was having one of the best times of my life, with a girl who I 'barely' knew.
My phone vibrated, startling me slightly, which again made a cute giggle come from Jess's lips. Just that giggle caused me to smile as I pulled my cell from my pocket.
"Hope your having a good time, " Tiffy texted, "You should poke Jess for me."
With a grin on my face, I turned to look towards Jess.
"What did she say?" She asked, followed up by a squeal as I poked her side.
"That was cute!" I exclaimed. And it was! "As a matter of fact, I'm gonna do that again." So I did, over and over, til she decided it was time to fight back.
This girl could wrestle! Jess kept me thrown off balance, trying to defeat me. But just because she was beautiful doesn't mean I was gonna let her win. So with a mighty thrust, I pushed her onto her back and pinned her down.
"HA! Got ya!"
The giggles and laughs were quickly silenced when I looked down at Jess. There was a look of wonder etched across her face. God, she's beautiful. The tension around us was thick, I could feel it in the air. It was that tension that drew me closer to her, leaning down, til my lips pressed against hers.
I have never had a kiss like this. A kiss that caused time to stop. My world around me slowed to a still, became a blur. It was just her and I, melting into each other. My hands released her wrists, Jess taking the opportunity to wrap her arms around my neck. I pulled back, just slightly, a smile on my face, as was on hers. I couldn't take it. I kissed her again, and again.
