My first short story I decided to write with O-town in it. Based on somewhat of an experience I went through and also based on a favorite song and video of mine.
"So you are going out with this guy, you just met him you have no idea what he does or anything?" Ashlee asked Tara as she got dressed.
"That’s right."
"Girl you stupid or something?"
"Shut up Ash. Let’s see I haven’t been out on a date since. I don’t even know when so ya know what I don’t care. I’m going. If you saw him you would go too."
"So you’re only going cause you think he is hot?"
"No, well he is intriguing." Tara replied as she walked out of her bedroom in a very revealing dress.
"Damn girl you trying to tell him something or what?"
Tara looked in the mirror and laughed, she was wearing a very low cut black dress that was cut diagonal at the bottom which showed off most of her thigh and it was low cut in the back. Showing off her nice mexican skin.
"You do look hot though." Ashlee her best friend and roommate said as the door bell rung.
They arrived at the restuarant in a limo and then went through the back entrance he lead through the kitchen handing twenties left and right to people and then finally sitting down at the table.
"What do you do?" Tara asked Trevor as they waited for the waiter.
"Construction."
Tara just nodded she really didn’t believe that for a second. But he was hot and he was loaded. She knew there had to be more to him than that but it’s always a good thing to start out on.
Tara and Trevor had been seeing each other for five months when Trevor asked Tara to move in with him. She quickly obliged she was falling for Trevor and loved being with him. So why not move in with him and be with him all the time.
Almost a month after moving in with Trevor, Tara became suspicious of almost everything he did. He was so secretive with her, he never told her anything. Every day he left she would be there to see him out give him a hug and kiss and watch him to go work. She soon realized he couldn’t be in construction he alwasy wore a suit and he had way too much money for that. But she never complained whenever she wanted to go shopping or something she could he would give her a wad of money. That’s when she really became suspicious and decided to confront him about his job.
"Trever baby, what are you doing?" Tara asked as she walked into their bedroom to find him looking at some papers.
"Nothing." He quickly replied and put them away and then stood up and started taking off his tie and shirt.
"Trevor what do you do?"
"I told you before." He answered sounding annoyed this wasn’t the first time she had asked.
Tara was getting angry why did he lie to her? She saw his keys laying there and she picked them then threw them out the window hearing them land in the pool int he backyard.
"You better fucking go get them." Trevor said in an angry tone.
"Tell me what you do!" Tara yelled.
"I fucking told you." Trevor yelled back and then picked up a lamp and chucked it across the room and then yelling, "Get the fuck out! It’s none of your business!"
"Fine!" Tara yelled back and ran downstairs.
She made it to the door with her purse and keys then looked back up at the stairs to see Trevor standing there. She turned around on her heel and walked out slamming the door behind her.
Tara went back to her apartment that she shared with Ashlee. Ashlee was gone for a month on vacation with her fiancee so Tara was alone. She flopped down on the couch and cried herself to sleep.
She was awaken by someone knocking on the door the next day. She staggered to the door wearing the same clothes she had on yesterday. She slowly opened the door to see Trevor standing there with flowers.
"Baby, I’m sorry about last night. It’s been a rough week. I’m so sorry you know I love you. You are the only one for me. I need you, you’re the only one. Please come home."
Tara couldn’t help but smile and then jumped in Trevor’s arms hugging him. Then they left to go back to their house.
For the next couple of weeks things went back to their normal. Then Tara noticed that Trevor had been coming home later than normal. It was bothering her she didn’t know where he could be and what he could be doing. She knew better than to ask though because she didn’t want to fight with him again.
About a month after he started coming home later than usual. Tara’s parents came to visit because they lived in New York. They got there in the late afternoon and was going to go stay a day or two. Late that night Tara was waiting up for Trevor and her mom came down the stairs asking her what she was doing.
"I’m just waiting for Trevor that’s all." Tara responded.
"Where is he?"
"Mama, I don’t know he’s been coming home late for a while. I don’t know what he is doing."
"Well, I’ll wait with you."
"You don’t have to."
"I want to."
"Just don’t get all physco on him ok, mama?" Tara asked as the saw headlights through the window. Tara jumped up and ran to the door and opened it her mother right behind her.
"Where have you been? What have you been doing?" She asked as soon as Tara opened the door. Trevor looked at her and laughed and turned back around and went back to his car.
"MA! I told you not to go physco on him." Tara said as she saw his car pull out of the driveway.
Trevor met up with some of his friends and they decided to hit the clubs. Trevor was sitting there drinking and watching the lovely ladies walk by and dance in front of him. One in particular caught his eye. He started talking to her and before he knew it they were kissing.
After spending three hours with her friends talking to her on how she should leave Trevor cause he was no good. Tara finally said she was going for a drive. They said they would come along. They were driving around town and around the clubs, when Tara spotted Trevor walking out of a club with a tiny black girl in a slutty outfit. She was so angry, so she decided to follow them. She followed them to a nice apartment building, and she watched Trevor give her a kiss and then drive off. By then her friends were mad as well but they told her to just drive off and not do anything. So she did and dropped them back at their place and headed home.
When she got home she walked upstairs to find Trevor laying on the bed not sleeping just staring into space. Tara changed into her pajamas and climbed next to him not touching him or anything just laying there thinking. Then finally she straddled him and looked straight in the eyes.
"Tara baby I’m not in the mood right now." He said looking at her.
"Wanna know something, everytime I get the strength to leave you. You are always telling me that you need me. I’m weak because I believe you and I’m mad at you because I love you." She said poking him in the chest.
"I love you too."
"But then I stop to think maybe you can learn to appreciate me. But everything remains the same and I figure out you are never going to change." She concluded getting off of him. Then he got up and walked to the door.
"I’ll be back later."
"That’s it leave again. That’s all you know how to do."
He didn’t say anything just slammed the door behind him. Then Tara just screamed as loud as she could. She finally had enough. She was going to pack her bags and leave him for good. Then she laughed at herself, she loved him. Everytime she got packed up something was always holding her back. She hoped that this time would be different.
Trevor drove over to his friend Jacob’s house. He knocked on the door and then was let in by some chick. Jacob was having yet another party. He danced around and drunk some just hanging out with people. Then finally after everybody left Jacob and Trevor began to talk. About Tara and the things that were going on between them. Finally Jacob asked, "Do you love her?"
Trevor nodded.
"Then ya gotta go home."
Then Dan agreed.
Trevor nodded his head again and decided he did need to go home. So he got in his car and headed home.
It was seven o’clock in the morning Tara had her bags pack and was leaving early because she knew Trevor would be home soon. She grabbed one bag and headed downstairs. She reached the door and opened it to find Trevor standing there about to unlock the door.
They looked at each for a second then Trevor said, "Tara, I’m sorry baby. I love you and I need you and I want you here."
Once again Tara fell for his smooth words and jumped up and hugged him. Then they kissed. She walked back upstairs, he grabbed her bag and closed the door smiling.
