Chapter Six

It seemed that I was being kept away from the house and I wondered if Jonathan had told Joe. I kept myself busy but no matter what I did I couldn’t erase Evelyn from my mind. She occupied my thoughts night and day. The evenings were worse, I could smell her in my bed, on the pillow that I hugged to me each night afraid to wash it and lose her. I lasted four days.

I’d been at the club; initially to check on stock but a few whiskeys later I had an idea. It was early hours of the morning when I drove to Joe’s. I had the window wound down allowing the night air to fill the car and sober me up. I was being reckless I knew that, but the desire to see her out-weighed getting caught.

The house was in darkness; there was no sign of anyone still awake as I quietly entered. I crept up the stairs remembering which one creaked and avoiding it. I paused outside her bedroom door. It was at the opposite end of the house to Joe’s and I thanked my lucky stars for that. I opened the door as quietly as I could and closed it behind me. I stood for a moment allowing my eyes to adjust. The drapes were open and the moon shone through illuminating her. She had thrown the sheets from the bed and wore a thin t-shirt, a t-shirt that once belonged to me.

Her hair fanned out over the white pillowslips, one arm was thrown over her head as she lay on her back. The t-shirt did nothing to conceal the white cotton panties she wore.

I moved to the side of the bed. At first I just wanted to look at her but as I kneeled, she stirred.

I placed my hand over her mouth as she opened her eyes.

“Shush, it’s just me,” I said as I removed my hand. I hadn’t wanted her to scream out in fright.

“What are you doing here?” she whispered.

“I couldn’t stay away. I tried but I can’t.”

I sat on the edge of her bed and ran my hands through my hair. She reached for a bedside lamp.

“You’re drunk,” she said.

“No, I was but not now. I needed to see you.”

“You’ve ignored me all week. Why now? It’s the middle of the night.”

“I’m sorry, Evelyn. We need to talk but I think your father knows. He’s kept me away from the house. I’ve tried to find a reason to come here and he seems to be blocking it.” It wasn’t entirely true but in my sleep-depraved brain it seemed to make sense at the time.

She sat up and as she did the t-shirt rose, bunching around her waist, exposing the smooth skin of her thigh. I placed my hand on it, my thumb just brushed against the cotton of her panties.

“No, if you want to talk, that’s what we’ll do,” she said as she pushed my hand away.

“Not here, Ev. If he catches me in your bedroom, that will be it for us.
