It’s almost time for Liam’s driver to pick me up - I never thought I’d have a driver picking me up, unless it was an Uber driver, and even those little indulgences are few and far between - so I check my reflection in the bathroom mirror.
I live in a small, unrenovated, old apartment. It’s notbad, exactly, but the plaster around the sink is cracking and the tile floor in here is always ice cold in the winter, even with the window closed and the heat on.
It’s like a miracle of nature, how cold the tile floor gets in here.
In the mirror, my reflection looks puzzled as she peers back at me. I push my hair away from my face and tie it up in a ponytail, picking a few strands around my face out so they frame my cheeks, making my look slightly more elevated than just a simple ponytail. I just don’t really know how to do much else, and the hairstyle Maggie gave me this morning became so messy and unkempt by the end of the word day from all the poking and prodding and peeling dresses off and shimmying back into them, I couldn’t just leave it the way it was.
My hair looks alright, but I still have that puzzled expression on my face, one that I just can’t make go away. Because Iampuzzled. I don’t know what the hell I’m doing, and it’s written all over my face.
I hear my phone ding in my room, so I rush out of the bathroom to grab it. It’s probably Liam, or his driver. It’s just about time for this to happen.
To say I’m nervous would be an understatement. Even though I keep telling myself it’s just a date. And that question he wanted to ask me? He probably wanted to know if I prefer boxers or briefs. He’s clearly someone who can have any girl he wants, so he probably just used thatquestionline on me as a ruse. He probably just wanted to pique my interest and get me curious about him.
But Liam Harmon, I am alreadyplentyinterested in you.
And I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to say no to you.
I wouldn’t want to.
I don’t want to get my heart broken, but he’s just too damn sexy to say no to.
It’s just a date.
I keep telling myself it’s just a date.
Liam
I’m notnervous at all. I’ve never looked forward to something before, not like I’m looking forward to seeingher.
I have a corner table at Raine’s, where I’ve made a last-minute reservation for me and Anna.
She is the only thing that’s pushed all the negativity that’s surrounding me out of my head. In fact, she’s so beautiful and fucking perfect that I don’t know if all that negative shit that overtook my morning will ever be able to come back.
Not as long as she is in my life.
Fuck, I am getting ahead of myself.
She hasn’t even said yes to my proposition yet.
Before this morning’s little run, I had a very interesting conversation with my father.
And that’s what I have to ask Anna about.
From the back corner table where I’m sitting, I see the door to the bar open and I see Anna walk in.
She is even more stunning than I remembered, even though I just saw her a few hours ago. She is wearing a stunner of a little black dress, and her curves are likesin. I need to know how she moves in the dark. I need to put my hands over her curves, feel every single inch of her, let my tongue run over hers and take her breath away when I kiss her.
“Anna,” I say, standing up and moving around the table to pull her chair out.
“Liam,” she says, smiling at me as she sits down. I push her chair in and she places her elbows elegantly on the table. “It’s nice to see you again. Very nice.”
“Now,” I say, “if you just visited my blog, you’d be able to see you any time you wanted.”
“Oh, but I don’t know if I want to see you all the time yet,” she throws back at me with a sexy little smile.
She better watch how she uses that dirty little mouth. I can show her how to causeallkinds of trouble with those lips.
I narrow my eyes at her, trying to wrap my head around the creature sitting before me. She’s a model, technically, but she issomuch more than what you think of when you hear the word model. She is curvy, withsinfullyperfect and pouty lips, and she isn’t tall the way you’d think most models would be. Anna has a perfect, cute little nose and eyes that I want to make flutter and roll back in her head when I smack her round, perky ass.
