Opposites Attract

Chapter 2

My fingers scrub at the dirty kitchen counters, my hands are soft from all the cleaning products I use. I don't hate my house cleaning job, it's actually quite relaxing and helps get things off my mind for a while.

I step back and smile at my work, the small kitchen gleams. I begin to pack my cleaning tools when I hear my phone ringing from my pocket.

"Hello" I say as I answer. "Hi, is this Jensen?" I hear him ask. Immediately I know who it is and I have been waiting for a call for a while now. "It is, and this is Brian?" I ask. "How did you know?" I hear and I can tell he is speaking through a smile.

I giggle, "So I was wondering if you would like to go out tonight." His voice is so sexy and I just want to be near him. I want to learn who he is and the secrets he hides and the life he lives. "That sounds perfect, what time and where?" My words come quick due to how nervous I am.

"It's a surprise but I will pick you up at 8. Just text me your address" he says. I hate surprises but I sure as hell am not going to tell him that. "What should I wear?" I ask.

"Hmmm" he grumbles. "Something casual but sexy. " "okay, seeya at 8" and with that I hang up. I text him my address and then quickly drive back home.

My clock reads 7 and I'm already worried I won't be ready when he arrives. I quickly jump in the shower and wash my hair, shave my legs, my armpits, and wash my body. When I get out I'm satisfied by my smooth skin.

I create loose curls in my brown hair and apply a small amount of make up. I look in the mirror satisfied with what I see. Then I search my closet. I end up finding some skinny jeans with a couple holes and a light blue tank top.  I wear my white converse and make sure to brush my teeth before I sit on the coach and check my phone. 

It's 7:58 and a sigh of relief escapes my mouth.  A smirk plays on my lips at the thought of Brian, I am already curious on where we are going. 

But I'm also nervous.  I'm getting into a car and going somewhere that I don't even know with a complete stranger.  I mean everybody needs to take a risk, but is this to much?  Maybe I should call and see if I can meet him theDING DONG.

Before I can finish my thoughts I hear the door bell.  I stand and wipe away the invisible dust on my jeans and shirt. A nervous habit.  I open the door and see Brian smiling.  He wears a hat and his long hair looks amazing.  He wears a plain blue shirt, jeans, and converse. 

He holds flowers and I can't help but smile.  "Here you go gorgeous" he says as he hands them to me. "Awh Brian, you didn't have too. They're very pretty, thank you" I hug him as I let him inside. 

His eyes search the small room and I can feel them land on me.  He watches me put the flowers in a vase and my cheeks begin to heat up. 

When I am done I approach him and he holds his hand out.  A high five? I stare at his hand for a moment confused.  He chuckles, "can I hold your hand, please?" He asks.  I laugh at how stupid and embarrassing that was.  I grab his hand and we walk out of my apartment. 

His hands are big and his fingers are long.  "How has your day been?" He asks.  "I was working all day so it has been okay, nothing special.  That is until now" a stupid smile is plastered on my face.  I see him grin, his finger traces soft circles on the back of my hand and it  feels good. 

"How about you? What have you been doing all day?"  I watch for something to tell me if he is lying.  Will anything come up about how sad he  looked the other night? Why he was drinking or why he was at our bar? "I have been filming all day" he says. 

He watches me intently probably waiting for my reaction.  Because yes, I was confused.  "Filming what?" I ask.  He chuckles a little, "oh you know just the most popular TruTv show around." I am still confused but am starting to put the pieces together.  He seems to see me thinking so he pitches in a clue.
