didn’t even think about snooping. Now that I knew it was Eric’s I had no problem with it. I reached in the small console to see if there was anything interesting in there but there was nothing but a few CD’s, a pair of sunglasses, and a pack of cigarettes. I checked all the places I could think of but there was nothing. My hand ran under the visor above my head and felt what I thought was a piece of paper. When I pulled it out I saw it was a picture.
I didn’t want to turn on the light because knowing Eric he was probably watching me from the truck the whole time. I pulled out my phone and lit it up so I could see the picture. It was of a girl with long, wavy blonde hair. She wasn’t posing for the picture or anything but getting into a red sedan. This picture looked more like it was taken without her knowing it, like one a private detective would take or something. I turned the picture over and on the back was written: Lauren Steinman, 23 Snatch Đ. It was weird. I was mostly confused by the symbol that was beside her name. It was pretty strange.
I shoved the picture back into the visor as we pulled into the development. As soon as I parked in the drive way Eric was out of Seth’s truck and standing by my door with his hand open for the keys.
“ Not a scratch on her.” I said dropping them in his hand.
He ignored my snide comment and took off into the house. Seth was waiting for me by his truck with a grin on his face.
“ I like how you talk to him.” He said as I made my way over to where he stood.
“ And how do I talk to him?”
“ Any other person besides me always tries their hardest to please him, especially girls. You’re different though. I think you’re the only girl who’s ever treated him like that.”
“ Good, I’m glad I get to be that lucky one.” I went to reach for the handle of the door but Seth grabbed my hand to stop me.
“ I’m glad you are too.” His blue eyes started to sparkle like they always seemed to do. My stomach fluttered and I got the urge to kiss him.
He stepped forward and placed one firm hand at my waist and moved the other to the base of my neck. His hands were very warm but I still shivered beneath his touch. I didn’t want to seem too eager but if he didn’t kiss me right now I was going to die.
Finally he went forward and his full mouth met mine. I like to have melted right there. It was like everything was moving slowly as his hand tightened on my waist and I pushed myself closer to him. His tongue moved with mine gradually and it was intense.
My breath was slow and harsh as I pulled away. His hand was at the side of my face and I felt his fingers running slowly against my skin. He leaned down and kissed me once more before lifting me up in his arms to set me in the truck.
I let out a tiny squeal and he laughed, “I gotta get you back to your dorm, you have school tomorrow.”
“ I’m twenty-two, not twelve.” I joked as he got in the truck.
He didn’t say anything but smiled as he backed out of the driveway. Halfway back to the dorm I figured I would ask him what was on my mind. “What job was Eric supposed to be doing at the club?”
“ What?” he asked. Apparently he was off in lala land when I asked my question.
“ You said that he wasn’t doing his job, what job was that? Does he work for the club or something?”
Seth brought his hand to the back of his head and rubbed it slowly like he was thinking about his answer. I didn’t know what was so hard about the question.
“ Something like that.” He finally answered.
What he said did nothing but confuse me. “So he does work for the club or he doesn’t?”
“ Not for the club exactly but he works for the security that the club hired.”
“ Okay…” I drifted my gaze out the window and felt his hand on my thigh. Warmth spread up my leg and into the pit of my stomach, I could get used
