Shadows in The Dark

Chapter 12

I was getting ready for my first date with Caleb. Betsy was sitting on my bed giving me advice on clothes. “Maybe you should wear a skirt or dress,” she suggested.

“Good idea that’ll narrow down half of my closet. Now what about the other half?” I had my hands on my hips and I was standing inside my walk in closet.

“You should wear the color green,” she hoped off the bed and joined me in the closet.

“Because it will match my eyes,” we said in unison. We started to laugh.

Betsy went farther into the closet and came out with a pale green dress. It had a draping neckline that shows some cleavage and a classy black belt at the waist.

I put it on and said, “It’s very short, so people might think it’s a shirt. Maybe a black skirt.” Betsy nodded.

I straitened my hair and from head to toes I was green and black. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and fell in love with myself.

“Who knew you was so hot,” Betsy giggled and for once I agreed with her. I knew I wasn’t ugly or anything, but I never knew I could be this beautiful.

I spun around a few times so I could take in the new look. I walked down stairs with Betsy by my side. When I entered the room every head in the room turned towards me.

I felt embarrassed and started to twirl a strand of hair between my fingers. “You look beautiful Jaci,” Aunt Rachel walked over and hugged me tightly.

Grandpa bowed in respect and kissed my hand. I laughed, “Your so old fashion Papa.”

“Sorry madam you’re just so pretty this lovely evening.” Grandpa is into writers, books, and plays like Romeo and Juliet. He doesn’t usually talk, but when he does it’s comforting to be around him.

“If he tries anything you tell me Jaci,” Uncle Ben had his father voice on. I look down at Betsy and she was smiling widely. I shot her a ‘keep your mouth shut or I’ll kill you’ look.

“Have fun,” grandma said from the couch.

“I will,” I said before I heard a beep outside. I speed walked to the door and turned to my family, “Love ya’ll.” I closed the door behind me and walked to the car.

Caleb was wearing a stripped brown shirt and matching brown pants. He was running a hand through his hatless hair when I got in the car. My heart felt like it would explode out my chest.

“Shall we catch a movie,” he started the engine. Lately his voice has gotten deeper or has it always been like that? I’ve been noticing little things about Caleb that I wasn’t noticing before and I’m starting to fall deeper in love with him.

His hands were so big and I could only image him lifting me up with them. Placing me on something soft and gliding his hand down my body. Slipping of my clothes off one piece at a time and slow to saver the moment.

My body felt heated and my breathe came out mangled. “Jaci,” Caleb looked at me with those golden eyes. They peered into my very soul and I felt exposed to him. I felt something travel up my throat and as soon as I knew what it was I covered my mouth.

I was fantasizing about Caleb and before I knew it I had the strong urge to moan out in pleasure. “Yup a movie sounds good,” I said between the cracks in my hand that covered my mouth.

Caleb’s eyebrows raised in suspicion. He let it go and struck up another conversation with me. I started to return back to what I thought was normal. We talked about a lot of silly things on our way to the movies and I really enjoyed talking about normal things with Caleb.
