I pushed back all my emotions. I didn't want to feel, I would make all the right noises and my movements would be flawless but tonight I would be imagining someone else's body pushed against mine. Lincoln Davids.

    When I saw her walk down those steps, I knew exactly who she was. I'd seen that face on more the one occasion, her sharp pointed nose, her bowed lips, and the bright auburn hair that glowed in the light. Her eyes had stayed connected with mine as she had tiptoed barefoot across the tiled floor. Her silk wrap around tied tightly, accentuating her slim waist.
    She was beautiful. Stunning. Amazing.
    I pulled up with a screeching halt to my friend Romans house, completely ignoring the path as I jumped from the car and jogged across the grass to his front door, not even bothering to knock. Roman was standing at the kitchen sink in only his sleep pants, filling a large glass with water, almost flinging it across the room as I barged through.
    "Holy shit, Link! Where's the damn fire?!" He exclaimed, gripping his heart.
    "Where's the kid?" I slurred in a hurry to get my words out. Roman cocked an eyebrow at me curiously.
    "He's staying at Ethan's. They were going out or something. What the hell is wrong with you?"
    I moved past him, walking briskly down the hallway. I could hear his footsteps following behind me. I found the door I was looking for and threw it open, reaching around in the dark for the light switch.
    "Man, he's gonna flip if he finds out you've been in here." Roman said, leaning causally against the doorframe with a smug look on his face. I glared at him before looking around the room. Clothes strewn everywhere, the bed, the chair in the corner, the floor. Then I found it. The only thing propped up on his tall dresser.
    "I knew it." I muttered to myself. I walked over, picking up the frame and holding it in both hands. "Umm, dude, I dunno if that's a good idea." Rome said awkwardly.
    I turned and held up the picture, facing him.
    "Her." Was the only word I could get out.
    "Uhh... Yeah... That was like one of the only things he bought with him. That, some clothes and a ragged backpack." He said, looking at me like this was something I should already know. And I did, because I'd seen the picture a few times.
    "I saw her." Rome’s brow crinkled in between his eyes. I turned the picture back towards me. It was her.
    She was a little older, a little more matured but those golden eyes, and that auburn hair. Unmistakable.
    "Now this I gotta hear."

    I couldn't sit still in the car on the way to work out. It was sad that this was the most exciting part of my week. As soon as I left the gym, all I could think about was counting down the days until I would be back there again. Jet, the newest addition to Charlie's list of body guards drove. He never spoke, I was actually starting to wonder if he even could. I occasionally got a head nod, or a slight shake but not even a smiled had crossed his lips. Just for the fun of it, I was making it my mission to do whatever I could to make him smile. My corny jokes had not worked as of yet, but I'm sure I was wearing him down with my charming personality.
    "What did Batman say to Robin before they got in the bat mobile?" Teddy rolled his eyes. I eyed Jet in the mirror, not even a waiver.
    "Robin, get in the bat mobile!" I giggled uncontrollably at my own joke, Teddy’s mouth twitched up at the corner. Even I had to admit I could be a little immature sometimes, but if I can’t have fun, what else do I really have? I sat forward and stretched in between the seats so I could study Jets face as he drove.
    "Not even a little smile Jet? That was one of my best ones!" His eyes continued to be fixed on the road, his face like stone. I proceeded to attack him with every joke in my memory to no avail. I sat back and crossed my arms with a huff. "I'll break you one day."
    I looked over at Teddy, his shoulders shook quietly.
    "You might as
