LOVER'S LANE
by Jaden
From the end of Chapter Eight:
I wasn't sure what was going to happen between Jaden and me. At this point, the only thing I knew for sure is that I had no one but myself to blame if it turned out badly. After all, I was the one who approached him and started this whole thing.
CHAPTER NINE: SUSPICIONS IN THE HOUSE / SETTLING THE BET
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS NEXT SECTION IS BEING TOLD FROM LANE'S POINT OF VIEW. I WILL CLEARLY INDICATE WHEN WE SWITCH BACK TO JADEN'S POINT OF VIEW
I arrived home soon after leaving the Student Union. As I walked up the driveway to my house (located on Riverview Drive), I thought once again how lucky we were to have found this place. Actually, it was my roommate Tim who had been the one to bring this house to our attention. By the end of our sophomore year, Nick, Tim, Clint, and I had decided that we wanted to get out of the dorms and live together during our junior year. We didn't have anything specific in mind--in fact, I thought we would end up in some type of apartment. Tim had a friend from his hometown who had been one of the occupants of this house. He and his other roommates were all graduating that year so Tim asked him to hook us up with the landlord. The landlord was an older gentlemen in his late fifties or early sixties. Upon the recommendation of Tim's friend, he let us look at the house. To be honest, the biggest selling point (for me at least) was the rent--only $1000 per month. Split between the four of us, living expenses would be dirt cheap. It was much cheaper living in the house than it was living in the dorms. The house was in decent shape--nothing spectacular, but for four college students it fit our needs perfectly.
Nick and I lived in the two bedrooms upstairs and shared the full bathroom located up there. Tim and Clint lived in the two bedrooms in the basement and shared the full bathroom located down there. We had to go through a period of adjustment as we all got used to living with each other. By the middle of the first year we lived in the house, we had written up and established a set of rules that we all agreed to abide by. The rules were nothing unusual, just stuff like each person was responsible for doing their own dishes and cleaning up their own messes. We also came up with a list of overall house chores that each of us were assigned to. Thankfully, everyone followed the rules and did their chores. We had a couple of disagreements from time to time, but nothing that ever threatened our friendship.
The house itself was large. The main floor had the kitchen, the dining room, the living room (or, as we called it, the "TV/Game Room"), and a half bathroom. The upstairs contained my and Nick's bedroom and bathroom and a large closet in the hallway. In addition to Tim and Clint's bedroom and bathroom, the washer and dryer were also located in the basement. We had a small wooden deck on the back of the house that you accessed through a sliding glass door in the kitchen.
My favorite part was, without a doubt, the huge wooden porch located in the front of the house. It was screened in to keep all of the bugs out. I could spend hours out there doing homework or taking a nap. By going to a few garage sales around town, we had found and purchased a cheap couch and four lazy-boy chairs that we put on the porch. The porch was a place you inevitably ended up migrating to if you were wasted. We all enjoyed drinking a few beers (especially after a long week of classes), but none of us were regular heavy drinkers. While I had been drunk before, the only time I got really wasted was on the night of my 21st birthday. On those few occasions that one or more of us did drink heavily, it seemed that person would end up sleeping out on the porch--at least during the fall and spring months. It was a little bit too cold to do that during the winter season.
My room was very standard. I had a queen-sized bed, a large desk, and a matching dresser and nightstand. I wasn't too big on decorating, so the walls in my room were bare for the most part. I painted my room blue soon after moving--not because I love painting, but because the previous occupant of my room had apparently decided that neon orange would be a cool color to paint the walls. I was so glad to cover up that color--it was nauseating. As for the rest of the house, the best word to describe the decor would be eclectic. All four of us had brought various pieces of furniture and other things to fill up the house and decorate it. Nothing really went together--but we really didn't care. As long as we had someplace to sit, a TV to watch and play video games on, and food to eat we were as happy as pigs in shit. Video games were very important in our house. Both Tim and Clint were huge video game fanatics. Between the two of them, they had a Playstation 2, X-Box, Gamecube, and TWO Nintendos. At (almost) any given moment of (almost) any given day, you would find one or more of us playing one video game or another. Nick and I weren't as obsessed as our other two roommates were, but I did find it very addicting once I sat down and started playing. I will admit to missing at least three classes because I was too involved in the game I was playing at the time. My mother would KILL me if she ever found that out.
Since our first year together was so successful, we decided to rent the same house for our senior year. The landlord kept the rent the same, which made me very happy. The bottom line was that we were comfortable living there, and that is all that really mattered.
I walked into the house through the front door and found Nick and Kelly lounging on the couch in the living room watching a game show. They had started to get really serious about their relationship toward the end of the semester during the last school year. Ever since then, Kelly had become a permanent fixture in our house--she practically lived here now. When she wasn't here, she spent time at the house she paid rent to live at. That house was located on Walvern Blvd., only two streets away from us. She shared that house with 3 other girls, including Chrissy (Tim's girlfriend), Stephanie (our friend Stu's girlfriend), and Kaylie, the slutty one of the group (hey--every group of girls has at least one!!). Kaylie had tried to sleep with all four of us at one time or another. When I told her that I was gay, she really didn't care. I think I could have told her I like killing kittens and it wouldn't have fazed her. She wanted what she wanted when she wanted it. I only escaped that night because Nick came to my rescue. As far as I knew, out of the four of us, only Clint had given in to her. That happened before he met his girlfriend Angela, who I'm sure would have kicked the living shit out of Kaylie if she had tried to put the moves on Clint after he and Angela were together.
"Hey guys", I said to them after I entered the house. I walked over and sat down in on of the big chairs that we had in the living room.
"Hey Lane," they both replied simultaneously.
We sat there in silence for a few minutes watching the game show. We were an exciting bunch, can't you tell?? :)
When a commercial came on, Nick raised his head off of the pillow he was laying on and looked over at me.
"Where were you this morning? I didn't think you had class until Noon."
I wasn't sure what to tell them. Since the first day that I had laid eyes on Jaden at the student gym all of those months ago, I had kept it my little secret. I hadn't told anyone--even my family--about Jaden. I knew that I could tell Nick anything. Over the last year as Nick and Kelly had dated, I had started to feel the same way about Kelly too. They were definitely the best friends that I ever had. I loved Nick to death, but sometimes he tried to push me into doing things that I wasn't sure I was ready for--ESPECIALLY in the area of relationships. I cut him alot of slack because I knew that he really cared about me and just wanted me to be happy. He wanted to KILL Zach after he dumped me, for which I will always be grateful. Even though I had told him a thousand times that I wasn't ready to start dating again, all I had to do was mention a guy's name and the questions started. Questions like: 'Who is this guy?? Where did you meet him?? How do you feel about him?? Did he ask you out on a date?? Why don't you call him and talk to him?? Why don't you invite him over to hang out??' and on and on and on. I wasn't prepared to have him asking me those questions about Jaden. When I first saw Jaden, I wasn't sure of my own feelings so I didn't say anything to Nick. I was afraid he would try to push me into talking to Jaden before I was ready. And now, after finally talking to Jaden, I still wasn't prepared for his barrage of questions. I was still figuring out the answers for myself. I decided to not say anything about Jaden, at least for now.
"Well, I worked out this morning, then I came home and showered. I decided to walk up to the Student Union and grab something to drink. It's such a nice day today and I didn't want to waste it".
As I thought about what I had really been doing this morning, I quickly smiled to myself. Nick noticed my smile and it raised his suspicions.
"What's with the smile?? Is there something you're not telling us?? What, did you meet somebody or something?"
Upon hearing Nick's questions about my smile, Kelly turned her head and looked at me too. NICK!! Crap--he was too smart for his own good. I needed to come up with something quickly and it had better make sense. Nick can usually tell if I'm lying to him and I don't feel like facing an interrigation about Jaden right now.
"No, nothing like that. I was just remembering this poor freshman I saw wandering around the Student Union. He looked so...lost. And scared. I hope I never looked like that when I was a freshman!!"
I started holding my breath because I was so nervous, all the while trying to maintain a calm appearance. Wait for it. Wait for it. COME ON NICK--AND KELLY. That was a plausible explanation!! They both studied me for another long second, then seemed satisfied (FINALLY!!) with my answer.
"OK", Nick said.
He lowered his head onto the pillow and Kelly turned her attention back to the TV. I promised myself I would talk to them about Jaden soon. I really valued their input, even though Nick tried to smother me sometimes. I needed to sort through my thoughts and feelings and get a better grasp on how I felt. There was no sense talking about it when I was so confused about how I was really feeling. Nick turned his head and looked at me again.
"I talked to Tim and Clint. They still want to play tomorrow. I also spoke to Stu--he said he would try to find someone at his house so we could have 6 players."
Nick was referring to our weekly 3 on 3 basketball game. We had started playing every Saturday since the beginning of our sophomore year. Stu Fisher was another friend we had met in the dorms that regularly played with us. He had rushed and joined a fraternity during the second semester of our sophomore year. He had started living in his frat house at the beginning of his junior year. Otherwise, he would probably be living with us at our house. Our regular 6th player, a kid named Jeremy Williams, had graduated at the end of last year, so we were looking for someone to take his spot. Alot of students went to the football game on Saturdays, but we never attended anymore. Nick and I had gone to all of the games during our freshman year. The team won only one game that year--and that was a road game!!! I truly loved football, but our team was so horrible it was painful to sit in the stands and watch. They had only won five games combined during the last three seasons. Some local sportswriters had predicted they might not even win one game this year.
"Sounds good. If worse comes to worse, we can play 2 on 2 and everyone can rotate out for a little bit." That wasn't the ideal situation but we would figure something out.
I thought that I could ask Jaden if he wanted to play with us but I decided not too, at least for this week's game. It might be too much, too soon. He had already agreed to be my work-out partner, which meant we would be seeing each other almost every day. I didn't want to push my luck and scare him off by asking him to play b-ball too. I figured if things went well this coming week I could ask him to play in next Saturday's game. Hopefully I'll have my feelings for Jaden sorted out by then, or at least in time for the unavoidable onslaught of Nick's questions.
I decided I needed to leave Nick and Kelly alone before I said or did anything else that might make either of them suspicious. I got up from the chair and went upstairs to my room. I needed to get prepared for my class that started at Noon.
""WE ARE NOW SWITCHING TO JADEN'S POINT OF VIEW.""
The rest of Friday passed by uneventfully and I was very thankful. I attended my classes and came home. I ate dinner and did what little homework I had been assigned. It was only the second day of classes and none of my teachers had given out alot of homework--just some light reading to do. George and I took a walk later in the evening. I was in bed fast asleep before midnight.
Saturday started like every other morning with George licking my face to wake me up. It was the first morning that I woke up wishing someone other than George was doing the licking. Wow--I just woke up and the first thought to cross my mind was about Lane!! He really had made quite an impression on me (and George) yesterday.
I shut off my alarm clock before it started to go off. I wondered why I even bothered to set the stupid thing anymore. I have a four-legged alarm clock--and he has never missed a day yet. Seriously--what is up with my dog??
A shiver ran down my spine as I thought that I would be meeting Lane in a little while to go running. This guy has had an effect on me unlike anything I had ever experienced. As I remembered yesterday's events, I thought how both real and yet surreal everything seemed--and felt. A part of me wondered if I had dreamed up meeting Lane. He definitely seemed too perfect--he had to be a fantasy!! I quickly dismissed that idea becuase I'm sure I would never dream that my own dog would find someone he liked better than me!!! I had really started opening up to Lane, which was something I wasn't sure I was ever going to be able to do with another human being. As much as I had enjoyed meeting and talking to him, I was glad when we had parted ways because I was finally able to start processing all of the various thoughts and emotions that he had invoked in me. After having a chance to reflect on everything that happened, I realized part of the problem I had yesterday was that he had caught me off guard. After a good night's sleep, I felt more calm and collected this morning--maybe the best way to say it is that I felt PREPARED. I was better prepared emotionally to face him this morning and handle any conflicting feelings I might have. I had decided that I wanted to have this guy in my life--but just as friends, at least for now.
I went through my morning rituals and soon as I ready to leave. As the prospect of actually leaving hit me, I felt a few butterflies start fluttering in my stomach. I walked over to the mirror attached to my dresser and took a good long look at myself. Speaking aloud, I said,
"OK, Jaden. You are going to meet Lane and then go running. Everything is going to be OK. It's not a date or anything. He's a nice guy. Remember, you WANT to become his friend. Just go with the flow and try to remain CALM."
I felt a little bit better after I finished my little pep talk.
"Let's get going George."
George ran over to me, bringing his leash with him. I attached his leash and we left. It was a beautiful morning. The sun was shining and it was reflecting off the dew still in the grass. I could hear birds chirping as they went about their activities. The world seemed so full of life and suddenly I felt full of life.
It wasn't a very long walk to the track. The college campus wasn't very big, so everything was within a reasonable walking distance. As George and I approached the track, I felt a tug on his leash as he tried to run ahead of me. I looked over the fence that surrounded the track and finally saw Lane standing by one of the gates that gave access to it.
I have a very good memory. In some instances it was a great thing, like when I had to study for a quiz or a test. Sometimes it sucked having such a good memory, like in the case of "IT". I could remember so much of what happened during "IT"--most details in almost perfect clarity. I remembered the way the bed felt that I was laying on--the mattress was so soft and gentle, nothing like Leon's treatment of me. The tightness of the handcuffs around my writsts. The clothes he wore the day he kidnapped me--blue jeans and a blood red t-shirt (or was that my blood that had stained his shirt??). The way his breath smelled, which reeked of alcohol. How heavy his body felt as he lay on top of me. The overwhelming pain in my butt as he raped me over and over and over again. The sound that was made as his fist made repeated contact with my body and my face. The feeling of my jaw breaking and of my teeth getting knocked loose. The taste of blood in my mouth. The one memory that haunted me the most from my ordeal was the look Leon had in his eyes as he assulted me. The look was a mixture of happiness, satisfaction, and horror all at the same time. These memories had never left me, no matter how hard I tried to forget them.
Like I said, I had a great memory, but the images I had of Lane in my mind paled in comparison to the vision of seeing him standing by the gate that remarkable morning. I was riveted to the sight of him as George and I made our way over to where he stood. I COULD NOT TAKE MY EYES OFF OF HIM. I was screaming at myself (internally) to look away from him, but I couldn't do it, no matter how hard I tried. I finally gave up and started praying that he didin't notice me staring.
When he did see us, another one of his famous smiles appeared on his face. I could get used to seeing those smiles on a daily basis. As much as I was trying to remain calm, just seeing him standing there was causing me to get very nervous again. I could feel myself starting to shake a little bit. DAMN!!! I was hoping to remain calm, cool, and collected today--I wasn't getting off to a very good start.
"Hey Jaden.", he called out. George and I were about forty feet away from him. I felt myself blushing, just from him speaking those two simple words!! There was nothing even remotely flirtatious about what he said and it wasn't like he used a sexy tone of voice or anything like that. Regardless, I was blushing!! What happened to the calm feeling I thought I had when I woke up this morning??
"H-Hi." W-O-W, what a response. I had said one word--ONE WORD--and I was stuttering already. Great, just great.
By this time, we had reached him. George immediately ran over to Lane. Lane squatted down to greet him.
"Hey buddy! How are you today?", he asked George while scratching him behind the ears. George's tail was wagging really fast. The word "ferociously" came to mind when thinking about his tail. I was becoming certain that my dog liked Lane better than he liked me!!
"How about you?? Doing good??", Lane asked me as he looked up at me from his squatting position.
"Fine. You?" At least I got those words out without stuttering, I thought to myself.
"Excellent."
For a brief second, I imagined him adding the words 'now that you're here" to what he said. I blushed once again, but Lane didn't seem to notice.
"Um, have you been waiting long?", I asked him. "I don't think we're late."
"You're right on time. I just got here a few minutes ago.", he responded.
"Cool. So, have you stretched out or warmed up yet?
"Nope. I was waiting for you to get here."
There was a part of me that was afraid of Lane, that did not want this to turn into a relationship, that wanted to run away from this....hunk. But the other part of me, the part that also scared of Lane but willing to take a chance and get to know him better--that part of me exploded with encouragement after hearing what he just said. I realized I was putting added meaning to a statement that, in reality, was very straightforward. It's just that in my deepest thoughts, in my most secret fantasies, I hoped and prayed that I might find someone who would be willing to wait for me--wait for me to get comfortable with my sexuality and to finish dealing with my issues regarding relationships and (especially) sex. Even if he didn't mean those words in the same context that I wanted them to mean, it still made me feel good actually hearing him say them.
"OK, let's get started."
We took about ten minutes to strecth out and warm up our muscles. It doesn't feel good to pull a muscle when running. I also believe in drinking some water before I start to work out. I don't want to be cramping up--especially in my legs. Nothing feels worse than a charley horse in your calf muscle.
After we finished stretching, I pulled off my sweatshirt and sweatpants that I had worn over my running clothes. I had on a tank top and a pair of shorts to run in. It might have been my imagination, but I thought I caught Lane staring at me as I removed my outer layer of clothing. That's just wishful thinking, I told myself. Anyway, I wasn't 100% sure I WANTED him to be looking at me like that. Plus, there was still the issue of his sexuality. I had no idea what it was, but it was more than likely that he was straight. 'OK--STOP!!', I shouted at myself in my head. You are going to drive yourself crazy with these thoughts. Just go out there and run!!.
Lane had arrived in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and it looked like he was ready to go.
"I was thinking that we'd start out with 6 miles today, since you haven't run that much. Does that sound good to you??, I asked him.
"Aren't you scared that if you shorten the distance I might have a better shot at beating you??, he asked me, a cocky grin forming on his face.
I flashed him my own cocky grin (or at least, I tried too--I had never made a cocky grin before!!).
"Nope. In fact, my guess is that I'll lap you at LEAST once, if not twice.", I shot back at him.
"Hmmm--it seems we have a big talker here. Let's get started--you need to put your money where your mouth is."
"Fine. Oh--and Lane?? My mom gave me her recipe for Lemon Chicken when I came to school. I'll let you borrow it if you need too."
Lane couldn't suppress himself anymore and laughed outloud. I'm making him laugh again!!! That made me feel soo good.
"OK, OK. Seriously, let the best man win, alright??", he said.
"Sounds like a good idea. By the way, it's 24 laps for 6 miles."
"I'm in an IVY LEAGUE COLLEGE!! I think I can do some simple math in my head.", he said sarcastically.
I held up my hands in a defensive position.
"Hey, I just wanted to make sure you knew, that's all."
"Well, I know this much--GO!!!", he shouted.
All of the sudden, Lane took off running. It took me a few seconds to realize what was happening. THAT LITTLE BASTARD!!! He's getting a head start!! Lane was at least 50 feet down the track before I managed to recover from the shock of his sudden action. I started to run after him. George had taken off after Lane and was already running faithfully by his side (I had removed his leash before we started streching).
As I started running, I remembered to start my stopwatch. After that, I took off at full speed to catch Lane. I wanted him to know who was king of the track. After about 5 seconds of running at full speed, I realized something---running BEHIND Lane was GREAT, at least for the view I had, which was excellent. The sight of Lane from the back was just as enticing as seeing him from the front. There was NOTHING wrong with this guy!!
I slowed down and started running at my normal pace. Lane was still running pretty fast, but I figured he wouldn't be able to keep that pace up for very long. Sure enough, after a few minutes I noticed he was slowing down and by the start of the fifth lap I had caught up to him and George. I was sad that my great view was gone, but that didn't concern me TOO much--I had a bet to win!!!
I slowed down and ran at Lane's pace for the next twelve laps. I had been keeping track of our times and Lane was doing a great job. He was maintaining a seven-minute mile pace. My normal pace was six and a half minutes per mile so I knew that anytime I wanted to I could speed up and win this thing. After the 16th lap, I decided that it was time to show him who was boss, so I started to run at my normal pace.
"Hey!!", Lane yelled at me through deep breaths. He started to speed up and try to keep up with me, but that lasted for only about 100 feet.
"George!! Let's go buddy", I yelled back at my dog.
George listened to me this time and caught up to me. With only two miles left to go, I figured that I wouldn't be able to keep my boastful promise of lapping Lane, but that was fine with me. Just as long as I won the bet!!
I finished all six miles easily in first place. My time was 40:29, which was a bit slower than I normally would have run, but I did run 3 miles with Lane at seven-minutes per mile. After I finished, George ran back to Lane and continued running with him. Lane finished up with a time of 42:12. He had averaged 7:02 per mile--nothing to be ashamed of, especially considering that he didn't run very much.
After Lane finished he stood for a five seconds with his hands on his hips and he was breathing really hard. He walked over to the middle of the track and collapsed on his back. I quickly made my way over to him. He looked up at me.
"Lane, you really should try to walk this off. If you lay down, your muscles will stiffen and you'll be incredibly sore tomorrow.", I said to him in between my own deep breaths.
I extended my hand down towards him. He reached up and grabbed my hand and I helped pull him up. As with yesterday when I tried to shake his sweaty hand, I didn't have any reaction to touching him. We were both kind of gross at the moment.
"I usually walk one lap while I cool down. I really think it helps to keep your leg muscles loose."
Lane just looked over at me and nodded. He was still breathing pretty heavily. He hadn't said a word since he had finsihed running the six miles.
We started walking (with George, of course!!) along the outer edge of the track as there were a few other people running along the inner part of the track. As we walked, I noticed Lane's breathing start to return to normal. He didn't start speaking again until we had walked about 1/2 way around the track.
"Two things. One, and I hate to admit this, but that kicked my ass. And two, congrats. I guess you win the bet.
"Thanks. I can taste that Lemon Chicken now."
"You were serious about that?? Would this be a good time to tell you that I have problems in the kitchen?? I mean, boiling WATER is almost too complicated for me!! I'm not sure you really want me to be cooking for you."
"Amazing, it's been five minutes and you're ALREADY trying to get out of having to pay up. Sorry, man, but a bet is a bet. If I were you, I'd be calling your mom for some cooking tips. I don't want to be eating any burnt crap."
While I was happy that I won, I was having mixed feelings about this 'dinner' that Lane was supposedly going to prepare for me. Did I really want to spend any time alone with this guy?? I wasn't sure.
"Maybe I can ask Kelly. She's a really good cook. I'll bet she can help me.", Lane said aloud. It sounded like he was speaking outloud to himself, not really talking to me directly.
Wait a minute, wait a minute--WHO IN THE HELL WAS KELLY?? KELLY??!! I knew it, I just knew it, he has a girlfriend. Or, at least, he's sleeping with her. I mean--come on. He's stunningly handsome, he's got a great body, he has a great personality, and he's a senior in college. He's probably slept with half of the girls on campus by now. THIS IS NOT SUPRISING NEWS. I figured he was straight. Just because I was secretly HOPING he was gay wasn't going to make it true. Seriously--what had I been thinking??? Lane approached me in the gym because he wanted a WORK-OUT PARTNER. Suddenly, I'm creating this fantasy world where not only is he GAY, but he's INTERESTED in me. GET A GRIP ON YOURSELF, JADEN!!!!!!!
This is a GOOD thing. Now I can stop obsessing over whether he is gay or straight. I know now--he's straight and THAT'S OK. I wasn't ready for a relationship anyway, so why am I so disappointed in the news?? No, I am not disappointed, just...well I'm not sure how to feel about this. Actually, I do know how I feel--it's a huge relief. If he's not a romantic possiblity, then I can relax around him. I'm already feeling much more calm than I was earlier. We are going to be working out together. After awhile, I'm sure we'll have to become friends--I still want to do that. I wasn't thrilled that the black cloud of doom had been correct about Lane, but I wasn't going to dwell on that fact. Let's concentrate on becoming his friend. I will be satisfied if I can do that.
Jaden and Lane--good friends, maybe best friends. I like the sound of that.
TO BE CONTINUED
Please stay with me---I know it has been slow going, but I really want to establish a solid foundation for our characters. It wouldn't make any sense if they suddenly hopped into bed with each other. They will get there, but each of them has issues to work out before they are ready for a deeper relationship.
FALL TELEVISION ALERT
After having enjoyed a relatively television free summer, I am anxious for a couple of TV shows that will be returning over the next few weeks. I don't watch alot of TV, but I urge everyone to check out these 4 great shows. You won't regret it--it's not an hour of your life that you are losing, but rather an hour that will enrich and fulfill you.
-
LOST on ABC. Excellent, excellent, excellent. What is down that f***ing hatch, anyway?? I am completely involved in the mystery of the island. Where are they?? I can't decide who is hotter--Jin or Sawyer?? And--Sayid is easy on the eyes too.
-
EVERWOOD, on THE WB. Interesting, involving, and even heartbreaking storylines that always suprise you. Some of the best acting out on Television right now. Seriously, how can you NOT love Bright? Previews I've seen for the new season indicate a really hot new guy will be added to the show, possibly as a love interest for Amy. I know I'll be watching.
-
VERONICA MARS, on UPN. Perhaps the best written show I've watched since Buffy and Angel. I have to admit that I am completely in love with the actor who plays Logan. Hot!! Not alot of people watch this show--I urge you to give it a chance. You will NOT regret it.
-
THE AMAZING RACE, on CBS. The best and only reality show I watch (I've given up on Survivor). I even let my character of Jaden love this show in my story. Quite simply, it's perfect. I love the fact that they are having FAMILIES compete in the next edition.
I know the summer is basically over, but the only show I followed this summer was RESCUE ME, on the FX network. This is Denis Leary's show about firefighters. If you haven't seen it, check it out, or buy the DVD when it becomes available.
I love reading and writing, but I make time in my life for these shows. Thanks for reading through my little presentation, now back to the story.
Be on the lookout for Chapter 10 coming soon!!!
