Chapter three
After the service ended Rusty turned and asked Lexi.
“Usually these meetings are for a weekend with tonight being the start. You’re welcome to stay for the rest if you like to? For that matter we can share the motel room, I have one with two beds in it. This way you wouldn’t have to ride in the dark. Even if you decide to not stay for the rally you can still stay the night and leave fresh in the morning.”
Lexi smiled “That would be nice thank you. But I do intend to pay my share for the room.”
“You are staying then?” A familiar voice from behind her said. With out turning she knew who it was, she turned her face to look up at him and as she did, and as their eyes made contact, a strange electrical like current shot through her. She tried her best to not look effected and look and sound calm.
“I decided to take Rusty up on her offer of a room for the night.” She answered.
Raising one eyebrow Jade looked even more spectacular as he said, “It’s a start.” Then to Rusty, “Rust you try and convince her to stay for the rally okay?”
Rusty studying the conversation between the two said with a crooked smile, “You bet I’ll do my best Preacher.”
Back in the motel room Lexi grabbed her night clothes and went to the bathroom for a shower. As she came out ready for a night sleep Rusty walked through the door laughing with someone. After service Rusty and a few female riders went to a coffee house in town for more fellowship. They had asked Lexi to join them, but she declined wanting some alone time. Now Rusty and another woman named Phyllis came into the room. Seeing Lexi Rusty asked,
“Hey you don’t mind if we watch a movie in here. Phyllis’s room mate is already asleep. Or we would have gone there.”
Lexi shook her head, “No I don’t mind. I’ll just read my book.” Lexi lifted the book she held in her hand.
“Okay, thanks.” The two other ladies sat on Rusty’s bed and turned on the movie channel. At two in the morning the movie over Phyllis says goodnight and leaves the room. After closing and locking the door, Rusty turns to Lexi and say’s “Hey, I really appreciate you letting us watch the movie. That was a real nice of you.”
Yawning and stretching Lexi answers, “That’s alright I got caught up in that movie you two were watching.” As both women lay in bed and talked a bit, Lexi made up her mind about the bikers festivities this weekend.
“If the offer still holds I think I just may stay and check out your festivities.”
Rusty smiled, “Are you kidding? Of course the offer is still open to you. That would be great. That means we can be roomies for the rest of the weekend.”
Lexi smiled and yawned again which made Rusty laugh.
“Okay I get the hint, goodnight Lexi.”
Lexi smiled, “Goodnight Rusty.”
As she settled down under the blankets she had a smile on her face she really couldn’t help but like her new friend. She was sure this will be a weekend she will never forget. Just before sleep took over, the last thing she saw in her thoughts were soft brown eyes and a heart stopping smile.
The next day was a sunny one with a few floating white clouds. The main street was lined with all kinds of motorcycles from all over, and the side walks were full of people milling around in conversation. Lexi was enjoying a walk with Rusty when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned so fast she lost her footing and began to fall. When a pair of strong arms reached out and caught her in time. She looked up to thank her rescuer when she realized it was the man who invaded her dreams last night. He smiled at her as he helped her to get her footing. She was still blushing from that smile when she at last found her voice.
“Thank you.” She quickly looked down at the side walk. “I can’t believe how clumsy I am at times.”
“Well I shouldn’t have startled you like that.”
She looked back up at him which was a mistake. As their eyes made contact her heart did a flip. Why does he have to look at me in that way? She thought to herself. Doesn’t he know the effect he has on me? She let out a breath slowly then out loud said,
“Well you have my attention. You tapped me on the shoulder?” Again with the smile that made her heart pound fast.
“I was wondering if you had decided to stay for the festivities or not?”
This time it was her turn to smile. “Of course I will stay. Rusty and I were just on our way to the café down the street for some breakfast. Care to join us?” Now why had she asked that question?
“I would love to join you two lovely ladies.” He said as he began to walk with them towards the café.
