Leo had been a loner for awhile. Another guy with a heart as warm as a freshly baked muffin and as big as they come.
He drove through Nashville in his red Jeep wrangler with a set of mud tires growling across the pavement.
He had a job to do in Brentwood.
His employer being a millionaire, had offered him a job after he assisted the man's son with landing an ATV onto a flatbed.
The man's name was Edmond.
He owned a large company that was based in downtown. The real deal. Suit and tie, Porsche driving folks.
Leo wanted in when he received the job offer.
Life was going swell for about a year...and then he met her.....a beautiful brunette girl named Emily. His excitement of meeting her was immense. A sensation he hadn't felt in a long time. That girl...mmmm...she was somethin else.
They had kindled online on a popular dating site, curbing Leo's suspicions that they were all just scams meant to drag gentlemen in by their weaknesses.
She was the very reflection of pure perfection....
After about a year being employed with this company, EF Assett advisors, while he could have upgraded from his TJ with its flimsy soft top, he chose to keep it for awhile. Being as a Jeep Wrangler was his dream car from childhood, thanks to his mother instilling that love into him, it would be awhile before he decided to up and ditch it if ever that was the final decision.
Days after he had matched with Emily on the site, they were already fully engaging on video calls. One night he called her, excited to talk to her. In while doing so, he was burying himself with cleaning his house, mostly his bedroom since all day, he had been cleaning the kitchen and the living room making them utterly spotless.
"Seems like I've motivated you huh?" She had mentioned during that call, to which he replied, "Yeah, theres something about you i just can't put my finger on that seems like its already driving me!"
The next day was their first date.
He wore his old leather jacket, a pair of ripped jeans and his trusty Converse sneakers.
The top was down and the weather was a little overcast but it was plenty warm enough. He was nervous as any young man would be, still working on his show of confidence.
He drove out to her house...which was easy to miss and he had to turn around.
When he pulled into the driveway at the back of her house. Not really sure what to do since...this would be a first for him in ages, he bopped his palm on the horn twice to let her know he was there.
He parked and picked up his phone to text her.
When she came out of the back door, his jaw dropped. She was even prettier than in the pictures. They had agreed to match the energy with their outfits before hand. She wore a leather jacket and blue jeans that made her ass look really good. She had a pair of red converse on as well. His heart started to flutter and not knowing how to start his interaction, he pointed at the bumper sticker on the windshield frame and read it out loud.
"Hi!" He said as she hopped in. There was no need to open the doors cuz...well he had pulled them off and set them in his garage.
"I like to fart."
That was the sticker.
Immediately in his head he started cussing himself out.
Fucking idiot...what the fuck? Is that the best approach I got?
But rather than her make a weirded out face and get out, she rolled her eyes and giggled.
"Really?" She asked as she gave him a warm amused grin.
"You like to fart is the first thing you would say?"
"I...uh...yeah.." he stuttered.
He cleared his throat and smiled, hiding his faint embarrassment.
"Ummm yeah, hi! I'm Leo! Im so excited to finally meet you!" He pushed out an awkward chuckle.
"Hi I'm Emily, and I've been looking forward to seeing you too!" She giggled.
"Sooo," he asked before turning the key and starting the in line 6 engine.
"Any spot you wanna go for lunch?"
"You know? I've really been craving Panera Bread."
Oh God...a basic white bitch? Oh GOD....
He smiled. Giving her the benefit of the doubt.
"I can work with that. I just don't eat there personally but I'm sure there's something good on the menu."
"Oh it's great!"
He turned the key, firing up the Jeep and popping it into reverse.
"Then lets go!"
The conversation immediately fell from small talk to favorite bands and music as they drove off and down the road to Panera.
Leo's heart thudded in his happiness.
It had been awhile since a girl had this effect on him.
They pulled into the restaurant and he hopped out, card at the ready.
They went in and immediately, he noticed the dead cockroaches on the floor by the drink dispenser. He kicked the dead bugs under the cabinet and looked at her.
"That doesn't bother you?"
She shrugged.
"I'm used to bugs," She said, "I was a bug kid."
Amused, Leo tilted his head to the side with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yes! I was that kid that played with bugs, spiders, worms, all sorts of things."
Leo chuckled.
"Well after this, can I show you one of my favorite spots by the lake?"
"Sure! I haven't been to the lake in a long time."
They went to the counter and put in their orders.
She went to pay and he stopped her setting a hand over hers.
"What're you doing?"
"I was gonna.."
"No way. This is a date. I'll cover it."
"But I can–"
"Lemme pay," Leo insisted as he used his card to pay for their food....
After awhile, Leo and Emily had jumped in the Jeep and headed across town to Percy Priest Lake.
One of Leo's favorite spots was the boat launch at Seven Points.
It was close to the end of March so the water was still low.
Leo gave Emily a mischievous smile and with no explanation he said
"Hold on tight!"
She barely had enough time to grab the handle strapped to the rollbar when they dipped off the pavement on the right side of the lot and started zooming over the muddy rocks, inches from the water's edge.
He slid the jeep around in a tight donut, kicking up rocks, dirt and mud.
After a minute he pulled it back onto the blacktop and when he looked at her, his smile dropped as he realized he might have just ruined his chances of continuing their date.
"Oh...oh fuck I'm so sorry!"
There on her face were a few flecks of mud.
He reached into the glove compartment and pulled out a paper towel, offering to clean it off of her face.
She began laughing, especially at his reaction.
"No no its okay! I'm not like other girls I promise you!"
She looked at him and smiled.
"You're sweet but its honestly okay."
He stared at her for a moment, kind of in relieved shock.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"I didn't ruin anything did I?"
"No! Not at all! I'm actually having a lot of fun with you."
He blushed faintly before he pulled the jeep into a spot and they sat there talking for a bit.
He told her about his job and how he would hang out with Edmond's family when they got off work. He went into other aspects of his life, just telling her all about himself.
She sat there, her pretty blue eyes focused on him the entire time, listening to his story.
He stopped after a moment and paid closer attention.
"Oh my God your eyes are so pretty," he blurted out, completely interrupting his own story.
He then grew flustered and looked out over the low water level.
She giggled at his sudden compliment.
"Thank you so much! I do have an eye astigmatism though."
He looked back at her.
"A what?"
"Astigmatism. Basically where my eyes go in different directions."
His lip curls in a crooked smile as he imagined it.
"LISTENNN!" She said in protest. But she couldn't stay serious. She started laughing too.
"I wonder if i can crawl the jeep over those rocks over there." Leo said, looking out over the rocks exposed from the lowered level of water in the lake.
"Why not find out?" She said encouragingly.
"Yeah? Alright, buckle up."
He started the engine and kicked it into four wheel drive. They rode over the curb and down the grassy embankment onto the rocks and mud. They drove over rocks that increased in size until they were almost as wide as a car itself. The spaces in between were becoming massive canyons that his tires struggled to conquer.
Someone with long hair, a tie dye t shirt and baggy jeans came out of the tree-line where another person laid in a pitched hammock.
"Hey that jeep is sick man! Can I take a picture?"
Leo looked at Emily silently asking for her approval of having her picture taken by a stranger.
They both nodded to the guy....who turned out to be someone Leo did know...he just wouldn't realize it until later on in life....
Later after leaving the lake, Leo decided to bring her to his house and introduce her to his roommate and a friend.
But before they went in, he caught Emily frowning at her phone.
"What is it?"
"This guy on the same app we met on."
He took her phone and read the messages.
Turned out the guy's name was Tanner.
And he was implying that he wanted to have sex with her. She stared at him, mouth agape but didn't say anything.
He started texting the guy on the other end.
'That's not how you attract a woman, dude. She's got someone already. Take them into consideration. This is her new boyfriend.'
He blocked the guy and handed it back to her.
Already protective, almost possessive...
He would make her his.
He brought her inside after parking in the garage, showing her around the house.
"This is my humble abode," he said as he lead her through.
They headed upstairs and to his room.
By now it was growing dark outside.
"Did you enjoy today?"he asked her.
"I did actually. I had a lot of fun with you today," She said in the dim orange of the LEDs.
Leo smiled and listened to her while they sat on the foot of the bed. They talked for awhile.
But one question had been on his mind for awhile as he was mesmerized by her.
"Can I kiss you?"
She was silent for all of two seconds but responded in a cute, almost innocent tone.
"Yeah?"
Leo grew shy for a moment but bit the bullet and leaned in to kiss her.
Their lips locked together and suddenly, their tongues danced together.
Suddenly he was overtaken by a primal instinct and pushed her down onto the bed, fully engaging in the open mouth kiss, his hands on hers, fingers interlocked with hers....deep in pure ecstasy.
Neither could remember how exactly it went but within minutes they were both naked on his bed.
Her hands moved up his arms to his shoulders as they still hadn't left the kiss.
The tip of his now throbbing cock kissed the entrance to her pussy while they spent what must've been at least 5 minutes tasting each other.
He pulled out of the kiss.
"Do I have your consent to do this?"
He asked, looking her in those beautiful blue eyes.
She nodded with an "Uh huh?"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
He nodded and slowly slid his length inside of her, his eyes widened at how warm...tight....and wet she was.
"Ughhh" escaped his lips as he slowly trusted into her, pulling her thighs up and out of the way.
Her moans were faint but so beautiful as he began to fuck her a little faster.
His dick, fully inside of her, was being swallowed by the walls of her pussy.
He groaned as she took him deep inside of her. Her arms reached up over his shoulders and around his back, her legs wrapping around him as he picked up his pace, enjoying the moment but so focused on pleasuring her to the utmost of his abilities.
All he wanted was to kiss her...but now this?
Oh she is the one....
