Chapter 3

After landing in Dallas at 4:53 AM, and having to go through security, which did not take as long as expected, I looked around the waiting lobby for Jessica. I thought to myself, I have no clue what she looks like, so, how am I even going to know that she will be here. That question was soon answered when this gorgeous brunette, that stood about 5'4" tall, with gorgeous, puppy dog eyes stood up, after noticing the flight had been unloaded, with a small sign that read "John". Wow, she was a smart cookie! I did not even think of telling her to do that. Of course, then, I realized that I could have called her on the phone, just to see where she was at.

As I made my way over to her, I realized that she was the most beautiful woman that I have ever laid my eyes on. You know that chick that you masturbate to on that porn site... you know, the one that looks so innocent until she pulls her thong off? Well, Jessica looked just like that girl, except, that I had found out that she had never done porn, or anything of that nature. It is then, that I realized, that there was no way in hell that she would like someone like me. I admit, I am not the most handsome of guys. I stand 5'8" tall, and I am 278 lbs. I am kinda overweight, but not so much that it's gross. I have brown hair, which was cut into a burr, and I have hazel eyes, that more than 1 woman has said is the most gorgeous eyes they have ever laid their eyes on.

As I got to her, I dropped my bags and just stood there, and looked at this angel in front of me. We both looked at one another, which seemed like an eternity, only for a few seconds, before she finally broke the ice. "You must be John?"

"Yup, guilty as charged." She laughed when I said this, which really made me feel good. Anytime that I can use humor to break the ice with a female, all the better for me. It aids where my looks suffer.

"Was your flight alright?" She said this nervously, biting her bottom lip, looking as though she was a felon facing the judge for a crime that she was not guilty of. "It was great. I thought about you all the way over here."

With that, she seemed to relax, and she then led me to her car. It was a nice looking Ford Mustang GT. The exact color blue as my old high school, Royal Blue. I got into it, and it did not take us but 45 mins before we were sitting the parking lot of where her apartment was. We both walked up to her door, as she fumbled with the keys. She got the door unlocked, but she hesitated before walking in. "Do you want me to go in there, and make sure that he's not here?"

"Um, no. It's alright. He shouldn't be here, as he has to be at work at 6 AM."

"Ok, just making sure. I do not want you to feel uncomfortable." She turned around, and what she did next really suprised me. After I had walked into the living room of a nicely decked out apartment, she turned around and hugged me. Not the friendly "I am glad to see you" kind of hug, but a hug that had more passion and caring in it, than I had ever felt before. I hugged her back, to let her know that I understood. After 3 mintues, she finally let go, and I noticed a tear in her eye.

"What are you crying for, Jess? Is everything alright. Did he come over before you left to come get me?"

"No, everything is fine. It's just you." That statement had me confused. Was she upset that I was there? Should I have not come out here? Should I leave? "You are just the sweetest guy that I have ever met. I don't know of another man that would have come all the way out here just to make sure that I could get a decent night's sleep."

"Jessica, it's really no problem. I will stay here just as long as you want me to. I won't let him harm you again." With that, she proceeded to hug me again. This time, she nearly squeezed the very breath out of me. She let go, and just looked at me. I smiled at her, and I guess that it calmed her fears. She turned and walked into her bedroom, and motioned for me to follow.

Once inside, she told me where to put my stuff, and asked if I needed to lay down and take a nap. I told her that I didn't, but that if she did, I would watch TV in the living room until she woke. She said that she didn't, but, that she did not need to shower. I told her that I would wait for her in the living room. She had no idea that I was going to lie to her, only after meeting her just a couple of hours before hand.

As she walked into the bathroom, a sudden hunger pain hit me. A man has to eat you know! So, I made my way into a beautifully decorated kitchen. Jessica was a cat person, which was great, cause, so was I! I rummaged through the fridge, and the cabinets. I was going to suprise Jessica with a home-cooked breakfast.

When Jessica finally came out from the shower, she walked into the kitchen. "So, this is where you are?"

"Yup, I got hungry, and thought that you might be hungry as well." She did not notice that the table behind her was already prepared, and that a plate of scrambled eggs, toast, bacon, hash browns, and an freshly squeezed glass of orange juice awaited us both. She looked at my funny, wondering why there wans't anything fixed. Then, I pointed behind her, and you could hear her gasp.

"Wow, you cooked all of this... for me?"

"Well, one plate is for me!"

"Huh... oh, yeah! I know that, silly! I just can't believe that you would cook me breakfast. No one has ever done that for me before."

"Wow, that's a shocker. A beautiful woman like you, and no one has shown you just how much of a queen you are? I feel bad for the poor idiots that you dumped!" Saying that brought a huge smile to her face, as she turned around and walked to me, and gave me another hug. I began to have the thoughts that she had been done wrong all her life, and that I was her knight in shining armor.

"Well, I think that we need to get the food that I made ate before it gets cold, and then, you can show me around town."

"That sounds like a good idea."

We proceeded to eat a very satisfying breakfast together, while listening to a few songs on her radio. After the breakfast, we got back into her car, and she showed me where the best restaurants were, where the mall was, and where to get groceries at. Of course, she showed me where to get gas, since she was allowing me to use her vehicle while I was in town.

After the trip around town, I suggested that we stop for lunch, as it was already 2 in the afternoon. We decided on a restaurant that she thought was too expensive, but it looked like a nice place where we could be alone, and be able to talk. She also found out that I was going to pay for the meal, which suprised her, and brought another tear to her eye.
