Scent of a White Rose Read Online Free PDF

“Okay, sure. I think
that could be fun. And, since you are twenty-one, you can actually
go inside while I'm, ahem , occupied with Christian."
    After explaining to her parents that we wanted
to skip dinner so that we could take in a double feature at the
movie theatre, we began to get dressed and I realized that this was
going to be the most time that I’ve been able to spend with
Christian in months. Usually, I had to wait for Jill’s parents to
fall asleep, and then with her help, sneak out without waking them,
setting off the dog, or tripping the flood lights. Once all this
was accomplished, I would only have a couple hours to get there,
see Christian, and get back. But tonight, we had checked the movie
times, and after taking our drive time into account, we had gotten
the okay to be gone for about four hours.
    Honestly, I really didn’t know what Christian
and I were going to do to fill the time. I mean, don’t get me
wrong, I had plenty of yummy ideas of what I could do with
Christian if we were alone for that long, but it wasn’t like he
could take a four hour break. With me still being twenty and not
able to legally enter the club yet, I was thinking tonight would be
the perfect time to take Evangeline up on her previous offer. I
just hoped she was still in a generous mood or else I would be
stuck outside in the car for about three hours, while Jill and
Christian were both inside without me. Yeah, that would
suck.
    Jillian's question shook me out of my thoughts.
“Does this look okay?”
    Jill was on the volleyball team at school and
had a great, athletic body: lean and muscular, with minimal curves
and a small chest. So when I turned around, I was shocked. First
off, I noticed that Jill had darkened her makeup quite a bit from
the last time we were in front of the mirror, and her dark brown
hair was now hanging loose instead of pulled up at the sides like
before. Secondly, I didn’t even know she owned clothes like this.
It was like I was looking at a stranger. She wore a red leather
miniskirt and a silver sequin halter, with a long, black,
scarf-like duster over it, and knee-high black boots. “Um, yeah!
You look really hot actually.” I tried not to sound as stunned as I
felt.
    “Cool. The last time I was in that club was to
go pee after that concert, and I tell you what...the people in
there just oozed sex. I just want to make sure I fit in.”
    Huh, I guess I had better rethink my
outfit. I had never really thought about the patrons of The
Rising Pit, as I was always in my own little world with Christian
in the backseat of his car. But I had to admit, her comment sparked
a bit of insecurity in me. Maybe I should be more worried about the
people who surrounded Christian night after night. What if I wasn’t
the only girl he made out with in the back of his car? Now I felt
nauseous. “I’m going to go change.”
    After trading my plain jeans and tank top in for
a black, sleek fitting dress and heels, Jill and I made our way out
of the house without being spotted by her parents. We voiced our
goodbyes and headed out the front door.
    We were ten minutes away from the club when
Jill, with a hint of teasing in her voice asked, “So, have you and
Christian done the deed yet?”
    “No, unfortunately,” I huffed. This was
something that I hoped we would remedy soon, but again, the idea of
finally being that intimate with my boyfriend in the backseat of
his car wasn’t exactly at the top of my “most romantic moments”
list. But at this point, I was getting desperate, so it might just
have to do.
    “Well, maybe if Evangeline lets you in tonight,
you and Christian can sneak in one of those private booths they
have upstairs and finally seal the deal,” Jill laughed.
    “How do you know there are private booths
upstairs?” I was curious because I had never been inside long
enough to really take everything in, and I didn’t think she had
either.
    “When I was in there to use the bathroom,
someone was
