Pole Position (7 page)

I pulled my ear buds out
, “Jesus you scared me.” I told him with a laugh. 

He raised an eyebrow at me
, “I can see that, are you always this jumpy?”

“No, I just felt like somebody was getting ready to sneak up on me again.” I told him then started walking. 

“Again?” he asked. 

“Yeah Jet snuck up on me once.” I told him with a laugh.  I needed to change the subject so I asked him about the whole ordeal with Carey last night. 

“Well she punched me in the face, (he said pointing to a tiny scratch on his jaw line), because she found out that I was out with you.  Don’t feel bad though she hates seeing me even talk to another woman.  I’m considering putting a restraining order on her, she’s lost her mind this time.”

I shook my head
, “Well I hope she doesn’t think that I’ll take her shit, I can’t stand women like her.” I told him. 

He was obviously done talking about her so he changed the subject and asked if I was going out to the club tonight for the Welcome Back party.  I blushed thinking of my Welcome Back Wax
, “Yeah we are going.” I told him. 

“We? As in you and Asher? Or do you have a date?” he asked. 

I smiled up at him “Nope, just Asher and I as far as I know, but I’m sure we will see you and Mitch there.  Those two can’t stay away from each other for more than a few hours I swear!” We took off running again, my muscles were starting to burn and feel like Jell-O after a few more laps.  I fell onto the football field “Am I THAT out of shape?” I said while trying to catch my breath. 

Lance laughed then sat down beside
me, “You need to stretch or you’re going to start cramping.  You’ve ran about ten laps, I think most people would be whining after just one or two.” He told me.  I sat up and pulled my feet together to do the butter fly stretch.  Lance did the same stretch, I laid back down to stretch my hamstring.  “Here let me help,” Lance said then straddled my left leg and gently pushed my right leg towards my shoulder.  I moaned as I felt the muscle loosen up, “Chass don’t make those noises.” Lance whispered, then told me to switch legs.  I giggled at the way he was trying hard not to concentrate on my legs, he slid his hand from my ankle to just behind my knee.  With his hard body hovering over me I figured I would feel SOMETHING, after all Lance was all man and all muscle and VERY easy on the eyes.  He let my leg down then stood up and adjusted himself, “I’m glad you think it’s funny.” He said then held his hand out to help me up.  We walked over to the wall in front of the bleachers and stretched our calf muscles.  Once we were all done stretching Lance pulled me against his chest, looked down at me, “Chass, you’re beautiful.” He said then leaned down and started kissing me.  I put my arms around his neck as the kiss deepened, then my cell phone rang.  “Seriously?”, he groaned as it rang again.  I pulled it out of the strap on my arm to see that it was my Uncle John.  Lance kissed me again then let me answer the phone.  I was still somewhat out of breath from the kiss when I said Hello to John. 

“
Chass why are you out of breath?  Wait no don’t tell me, I don’t think I can handle hearing why.” He said. 

I laughed
, “I just finished a ten lap run and stretching so yes I’m still somewhat out of breath.” I told him. 

“That better be why!” he told me with his sternest voice possible.

Lance laced our fingers together as we started walking back to the dorms, Uncle John had just called to see how the first week of college went and to see how many times mom had called. 

“I’ve actually lost count to be honest,  I told her she needs to find a friend to spend time with, to go out on a date or something but she didn’t like hearing me tell her that.” I told him. 

“Well I’m going to set her up on a date, she really deserves to have somebody in her life.  Your dad wouldn’t want her sitting around the house sulking and bothering you all the time.”

I laughed
, “Good luck with that.” I told him.  We talked for a few more minutes then  hung up, Lance kissed me again then told me he was going home to shower and do some work to his pickup.  We told each other we would find each other at the bar later on that night. 

I went
into my dorm, showered and applied the rest of the cream even though there was no soreness down there.  I called mom and visited with her for a while about all my courses, how busy my schedule had been and how I was looking forward to having a lighter schedule.  

“Chass I’ve been thinking about what you and your uncle said, about me needing to date.  I know your dad would want me to be happy but I’m forty three years old, how do I DATE?”

“Mom, I know there are at least one or two guys you work with at the hospital that have been trying to get you to go out for dinner.  Just take them up on the offer.  See if you can get back in the game.” I told her. 

She gasped
, “Do you have to say back in the Game, Chass that just sounds so…so… I don’t know…”

I cut her off
, “FUN mom, and you deserve to have FUN.” I told her. 

“I just don’t know how I’m going t
o do that, I loved your dad so much, I just don’t feel right even looking twice at either of the guys that have been asking me to go out for dinner.”

“Mom
its fine, you’ll be fine.” I told her.  We talked for a little bit then hung up. 

I told Asher about the conversation and she laughed.  “Momma’s gonna get back into the game FINALLY.” She said.  “So you went for a jog this morning any hotties try to jump out and scare you again?” she asked with a laugh. 

“Yep Lance, then we kissed, we somehow manage to get interrupted by one of our phones though.”

“Hmm, I’d say shut them off when things are getting hot and heavy.” She said
and wiggled her eyebrows. 

“Honestly Ash, I don’t feel much when we do kiss, nothing
like when Jet is close to me.  Why is that?  Never mind don’t answer that.” I told her. 

“Yeah that’s what I thought, you know as well as I do that you’ve got t
wo hot ass men after you but your body is more in tune to ONE.” She said then left the room.   I needed to do some laundry so I gathered up my clothes and went to the laundry room in the basement of our building.  I learned the hard way not to leave the clothes because some girls would take them out of the washer and just throw them on the floor or would some just simply take what they liked. 

I had just sat down after putting them in the washing machine when my phone went off with a text
,
*That was a pathetic show you and Lance put on this morning, do you always fake being into somebody?*
I rolled my eyes at the text from Jet. 
*S.T.A.L.K.E.R. seriously why do you stalk me?  It really is creepy!*
~
*I’m not stalking u, I was going to join you for your jog so we could talk but Lance beat me to it.  I’m wounded you really think I would stoop so low to stalk you.*
I almost felt bad for calling him that, almost, but it really was strange to me how he always found me without me knowing he was even there.
*Well, how else do you explain how you always manage to find me and me not even know you’re near?*
~
*Chass, if you’d pay attention to your body you would know that your body knows I’m near you before you see me.*
was his reply.  I sat there for a few minutes thinking, and he was right.  My body would always feel hotter and I could always feel his eyes on me. I wasn’t about to tell him that though. 
*I’m busy I’ll talk to you some other time.*
I sent back. 

After my laundry was finished I went back to the dorm, Asher told me that we would leave about seven thirty to get to the club and hopefully not have to stand in line for over an hour.  I folded my laundry then put it all away, I decided to read a few chapters out of my Sports Med book.  I ended up falling asleep though, and woke up to Asher threatening to throw water on me.  I took another shower to wake me up, who knew college would be so damn tiring?  I put my dress and cowgirl boots on, Asher had
a thick black belt to accent my dress with.  The outfit was pretty adorable if I must say so myself.  I decided rather than straighten my hair I’d just let the natural curl finish off my look.  Asher once again did my makeup, I was glad she knew not to go overboard on it though.  I sprayed myself with some of her perfume before we left.  When we got outside there was a Taxi waiting, “A taxi?” I asked her.  “Yep, we aren’t going to be stupid and drink and drive.” She told me as we climbed in the cab. 

When we got to the club there was a fairly long line to get in, but when we walked up the bouncer asked us our names and let us in ahead of everybody else.

“How did you manage that?” I asked Asher as we walked towards the bar. 

“Oh I just know people.” She said with smile.  “Okay, maybe Mitch knows people.” She told me, the
n once again warned me not to take drinks from anybody or to set mine down then start drinking it again. 

We stood in line at the bar for a while waiting for the bartender, I wasn’t sure how we were going to get served since we were both underage.  Asher
reassured me that it’s a “college bar” they serve everybody, needless to say she was right.  She ordered each of us a lemon drop shot, and a long island ice tea.  After we did the shots we made our way over to an empty table that was situated towards the back corner.  We finished our first drink, then ordered another one, I knew that at this rate I would be trashed within a couple of hours.  “Relax, have some fun, we’ll get a taxi back to the dorms.” Asher told me. She was busy texting on her phone as I looked around the massive club at all the different people.  There were men and women grinding against each other there were even women grinding on women.  “Mitch and Lance are on their way so we need to keep an eye out for them.” Asher yelled over the music.  I nodded my head to let her know I would watch for them.

Twenty minutes later they were pushing their way through the crowd of people trying to get to our table.  Asher smiled big as they sat down with us.  Mitch kissed her hard then whispered something in her ear causing her to blush.  Lance gave me a quick kiss on the lips before turning to drink his beer.  “Should you be drinking that since you’re in training?” I said in the most serious tone I could, but couldn’t stop myself from laughing.  
Far East Movement ‘Like A G6’
started blaring through the speakers, Asher jumped up from the table, grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the dance floor. When we got on the dance floor it was literally packed, you couldn’t dance without bumping into other people.  Asher didn’t care, she just threw her hands in the air and started shaking her hips, singing along with the music.  A couple of guys tried to dance with us but Asher gave them a go to hell look, they moved away pretty quick.  As that song faded out,
Usher
’s
‘Yeah’
started pumping through the club.  I felt two strong hands grasp on to my hips as I was pulled against a hard muscular body.  I turned to see that Lance was the one that I was dancing with.  Asher was now grinding in rhythm with Mitch, I got in rhythm with Lance as he pulled my hand up behind his neck and spread his other hand out across my stomach.  I pulled my hand from behind his neck , turned around so I was facing him.  He was staring down at me as he pulled me closer to him, with his one leg between mine we slowly ground against each other.  He bent down and trailed kisses from my bare shoulder up to my ear.  “You’re killin' me Chass.” He said with a smile.  I could feel his erection pressing against my hip as the song finished.  The DJ announced that he needed a drink, “SOMBODY BETTER BRING ME SOME FLUIDS BEFORE I DIE BACK HERE!”.  People shuffled off the dance floor toward the bar.  I told Lance that I was going to go use the restroom, then asked Asher if she needed to use it.  She pulled her lips away from Mitch long enough to shake her head no. 

I stood in line for what felt like half an hour, after I finished going to the bathroom I was washing my hands when suddenly somebody ran into the back of me pushing me against the sinks hard.  I turned around to see no other than Carey, I rolled my eyes and tried to step around her.  She stuck her arm out
;

“I’m not sure how else to get my point ac
ross to you that Lance is MINE, so tonight when your slutty ass is sucking his dick, that wonderful taste will be from MY pussy on him.  We fucked before we came here.  Back off of him bitch.  Find some redneck from your part of the woods.” She said with pure anger in her eyes. 

“Why don’t you talk to him?  You can’t honestly tell me that you think I’m “chasing” after him.  HE finds ME you dumb bitch.  Maybe just MAYBE if YOU satisfied your man he wouldn’t be coming to
ME.  Oh wait, I forgot (I covered my mouth then dropped my hand away) you CAN’T keep your man HAPPY so you find some other poor guy to fuck hoping he’ll enjoy your loose ass!” I said staring her down. 

She threw her head back and laughed then tried to slap me, I caught her hand
, “Don’t you dumb bitch, you don’t even want to start with me…understand?” I said then pushed her out of the way. 

When I finally got back to the table Lance asked me if everything was okay, I turned to him
, “No you know what?  I’m really starting to think that you’re playing me Lance.  I just got confronted by your ex psychotic girlfriend in the bathroom.  She told me that when I’m sucking your dick later that I’d be tasting her on your cock.  I’m pretty sure there is NO chance in hell that ANYTHING is going to happen.” I said then crossed my arms over my chest.
