almost primly on top.
She went into the bathroom, and opened the medicine cabinet. She removed the bottle of aspirin, taking two and replacing it.
She gulped them down with a swig of water she'd run into the small plastic glass beside the sink and stepped over to turn the shower on.
She luxuriated in the spray, liking his massaging shower head.
She toweled off quickly, wishing for her blow dryer so that her long dirty blonde hair would dry quicker. She walked naked into his bedroom, feeling a little giddy. What was she doing, she thought? She hardly ever walked around naked in her own bedroom, let alone that of a virtual stranger.
Somehow, he didn't feel like a stranger anymore, she thought. She'd shared something with him she'd only shared with Austin. Austin seemed so adolescent in comparison to Luke.
She realized she wanted to know more about him.
She went into the kitchen. He was sitting at the table, munching on a slice of pizza. She sat down, looking at the pizza on the plate in front of her and wrinkling her nose.
"You don't like supreme?" She shook her head. "I can order you something. I've got a bunch of take out menus. I'll get you whatever you want."
He rummaged around in a drawer and brought out a handful of menus. She looked through them, quickly deciding on the lasagna from a local Italian restaurant.
He went to the phone, and placed her order, then returned to the kitchen. He told her the food should arrive in about half an hour.
"Luke.” Sierra bit her lip as she looked at him. “How'd you know my name?"
"I've seen you around town, with your mom sometimes. And I used to see you with that guy all the time."
"Oh, I see. How old are you?"
He laughed softly. "I'm twenty-two. That's not too old is it?"
"No, I guess not."
Her food arrived soon after and she was grateful. She found herself growing uncomfortable again.
She still didn't regret having sex with him; it was a different feeling now. The lust had started to fade. She was beginning to wonder if she'd had her first one night stand.
He walked her home later, not touching her. "Can I call you? Or would your step dad come after me with a shot gun?"
She laughed at the thought of her step dad running after Luke in his business suit waving a shot gun. "Fat chance of that. Let me give you my cell number. Then you won't have to worry about him or my mom."
He took out his phone; putting in the number she gave him.
She dug in her purse for her keys, unlocking the door slowly. She wanted to invite him in. Her mom and stepdad wouldn't be home for another two days. But what if one of the nosy neighbors mentioned something she thought? She gave him a quick kiss instead.
"I'll see you."
Luke gave her what could only be called a cocky grin. "Definitely."
Chapter 4
And he did call her, the next weekend.
She told her mom that she was going out with friends; and instead walked down the street to his house.
Sierra started spending more and more time with Luke. She spent many afternoons with him as he was pretty good at math and history. She thought that it was nice to have someone help her study, though his attractiveness was a constant distraction. His habit of lounging around the house in nothing more than a pair of jeans drove her crazy.
Before long, they were having sex on a regular basis and she found herself initiating it more and sometimes sharing a cigarette with him afterwards. She felt herself almost forgetting about Austin. Spotting him in the halls at school, always seemingly with Ilana at his side; no longer held the sting that it once had. Her mom quit asking about him at home.
She'd begun telling her mom that she was spending time with a former junior high friend named Amy on the days and nights she was with Luke. She was glad that her mom trusted her enough not to question her further or simply didn't care. Sierra figured that it was some combination of both.
