“I’m real glad I met you tonight, Anna. I’m looking forward to our date Tuesday night. I normally work late on the last day of demo so I can take my time and make sure everything that needs attention gets it. But knowing I’ll see you, well, that’s plenty of incentive to cut out early.” His words took me by complete surprise. The double meaning dripped from them. I know I had not given any signals that this was a date. Hell, he knew about Roman! Why didn’t that drive him off like every other man? I do not have the time or desire to worry about a man, no matter how good it felt when he touched me.
I stared down at my shoes, afraid that if I looked him in the eye I would change my mind, “I had a nice time tonight, Noah, but I’m sorry if you thought Tuesday was a date. I don’t do that, date I mean. I don’t have time. There’s the store, not to mention, Roman? There’s too much going on to add a man into my life.” Why was I rambling? I don’t trip over my words; I make things plain and simple. I make the rules, and rule number one is no dating.
“Anna,” My head popped up, and I locked eyes with him, “it’s a date. I am attracted to the woman I met tonight. I want to get to know her and see how this goes. We’re going to have a good time and eat some first-rate food. You can tell yourself it’s not a date all you want, if that makes you feel better, but it’s a date. I get where you’re coming from, you’ve got a lot going on, but I’m stubborn when I want something.” His words should have upset me. I should tell him to forget about dinner, and Christine and Craig could just go out, but none of that happened. Nope, I just stood there, with my jaw hanging open as he brushed his lips against my cheek and whispered against my skin, “See you soon.” I was still standing there, staring at the door a full minute after he was out of sight.
