Slayer's Ending Chapters

SEVENTEEN

    MY MUSCLES ACHED. IT was like they had been stripped and torn apart. They burned with every little movement I made.
    I covered my head with my blanket. I didn't want to do anything, see anything, hear anything. I was so tired .
    Sure, I told mom and dad that I was going jogging, but how had I overdone it this much? I didn't even get that far, did I? The last thing I remembered was being a few blocks from home. Then this jerk came up to me on his bike and….
    My eyes shot open. I never did finish that run.
    The memories flooded back to me. Hunter. The hotel. My body warmed as I remembered all the other things that we did. The things I said. Was that me ?
    I pulled the cover down and looked around. Hunter was taking what looked like a TV dinner out of the rickety little microwave.
    "Rise and shine," he said.
    Hunter wasn't wearing a stitch of clothes. My eyes scanned down, and he was still half hard. I blushed and covered my face again before picking up his underwear and throwing it at him.
    "Put something on!" I yelled.
    Hunter laughed. "Are you sure? I thought you liked me this way?"
    I peeked out from behind the cover and looked at him. His scars and tattoos clung to his muscles like a second skin. They rippled as he moved. Okay, yeah. He wasn't bad to look at.  
    I felt the space between my legs grow wet. Okay, shit! He was better than, "not bad."
    "Just put them on. Okay?" I said.
    "All right, all right," he said.
    Hunter quickly stepped into his underwear. Then he came next to me on the bed and placed what looked like a breakfast burrito in front of me.
    "You're probably starvin'," he said. "And you're lucky that I always carry a decent amount of cash with me. I expected us to be here a couple hours, not the whole day."
    My heart leapt into my throat. The whole day?
    " What ?"
    "Yeah," Hunter said, "we kept going until you couldn't take anymore. You fell asleep, I went out for some food, and by the time I came back you were raring to go again. It's morning now."
    Shit! No wonder my body felt like it had been beaten up.
    "Wait," I said, "where's my phone?"
    Hunter rummaged around in the pile of clothes until he found it. He handed it to me. I looked at the glowing screen.
    26 MISSED CALLS. 10 NEW MESSAGES.
    Shit. Shit. Shit !
    I checked them. Nearly every single one was from my mom or my dad. The last was from Jona.
    whr d feck R U girl? I'm guessing you're out, bt U hav som explaining 2 do!!!!
    I could only imagine that they were this close to sending the whole club out looking for me. Or worse. They already had.
    I speed dialed my mom. She picked up before the phone even had time to ring.
    "Where are you?" she yelled. I could feel her anger through the phone.
    "Hi Mom," I said.
    "Don't 'Hi Mom' me! Where have you been! We've been calling you all night!"
    "I'm over at Jona's, didn't she tell you?"
    There was a pause.  
    "She said you were, but made up some cock and bull story about you not being able to answer the phone," Mom said.
    "Yeah, I was exhausted! My phone was off and I didn't turn it on until now. Sorry for worrying you guys!"
    Before she even spoke, I could feel Mom's anger receding. Thank goodness.
    "Well, come home soon!" she said with her last bit of forcefulness.
    "I will," I said. "Love you, bye!"
    I hung up as quickly as I could. Otherwise she'd just get nosy. Okay. One emergency averted. Now to text Jona.
    thx so much 4 covering 4 me. cn U do it jst a ltl whIl longer? You're d best!
    I waited. She sent me back a frowny face emoticon.
    Fine. bt Dtails l8r.
    I let out a sigh.
    OK. thx
