Chapter 7

My overused muscles protested when I stretched, and a smile crossed my face as I remembered the activities that had made them sore. Peter and I had made love. Fantastic mind-numbing love!

I rolled over, searching for him, my hand coming up empty. At the same time I opened my eyes to find myself alone in the bed and in the room.

Flashbacks of several days ago came rushing back and I panicked, grabbing the sheets against my naked body, almost afraid to call out to him. Had he left me too?

I climbed out of bed and had just finished putting my underwear and shirt on when the bedroom door opened and Peter stood there, looking at me.

The relief upon seeing him was overwhelming and I quickly sat down on the edge of the bed. He hadn’t left!

“Road’s clear. As soon as you can get yourself packed up, I want to head home.”

“Okay, give me a few minutes to make sure I have everything.”

Peter nodded and backed out of the room, closing the door behind him.

I sat on the bed for a few minutes, reliving the night before and sad that our time together was over. When I joined Peter in the front room moments later, he was silent and I began to feel uncomfortable. Did he regret having slept with me? Why didn’t he say anything?

We spoke very few words as we shut up the cabin and prepared to leave. We mounted his motorbike and headed down the mountain. Even if we had wanted to, there was no way to maintain a conversation. The bike was noisy, and the headsets in the helmets didn’t seem to be working.

The trip took about four hours, until we reached the outskirts of Santa Clara. At a red light, Peter turned around and asked me for directions to my apartment. I told him and a grimace crossed his face.

“Where do you live?” I asked, wondering why my address had caused such a response. When he answered it was obvious. Peter lived in the upscale neighborhood a couple of blocks from the country club. I lived across town in student housing. The drive would take no less than twenty minutes, one way.

I asked him to drop me off somewhere along the main road and I’d take a cab, but he insisted on driving me home. “Rachel, with all the complications you’ve attracted the last week I can’t risk dropping you off somewhere. Who knows what else will happen?” he teased me while heading in the direction of the college. “It’s not a problem. Remember that I can’t just drop you off and make you walk home. You already tried that. And…Marilee would kill me if something happened to you.”

Oh my God, I had completely forgotten about Marilee and my stuff. She must be frantic by now!

Peter noticed the worry on my face and said assuringly, “Don’t worry. I asked the rangers to call her and explain the situation. You can pick up your stuff tomorrow.”

Relieved, I decided to enjoy the last minutes with him.
