and walked over to it. Pressing the down button she waited.
It was then she knew her life would never be the same again.
A minute or two later the doors slid open to reveal a man inside the elevator. She recognised him as the man that had opened the car door for her hours earlier, the driver.
“I will drive you home Miss,” he said simply , pressing the elevator button for the basement.
Mackenzie no dded. In a daze she followed the man from the elevator to the car, gave him her address and allowed him to drive her to her empty apartment. It wasn’t until she was home that she realised she hadn’t even paid any attention as to where she had been driven. She had no idea where she had just spent the evening. She felt stupid for not taking note, she could have known where Sir lived, how to find him.
But now, for all she knew, she may never see him again.
Chapter Six
All week Mackenzie had hoped that she would hear from him. She knew it wouldn’t happen but it didn’t stop her from hoping. Day in and day out, he was always in her thoughts. She remembered the night they spent together fondly and could think of barely anything but the man with no name. At work she looked longingly at his chair and at home she fantasized about him.
One day blurred into the next and before she knew it , Friday arrived. Anticipation had her making a mess of her job. She spilt more than one drink and wasn’t as quick to notice when client’s glasses were empty. Alex had to nudge her on more than one occasion.
Nine-thirty came and went. Sir didn’t arrive. Mackenzie stared at his corner of the room and remembered that night. He’d treated her differently then. The more she thought about it, the more she knew it to be true. He’d plied her with drinks and kept his distance like he was struggling a little for control.
Maybe I imagined it after all. Maybe I have been used and spat out like the rest of them.
Well , it is what she was told to expect. He’d told her “no repeats” but for some reason, on some level, she hadn’t entirely believed him.
“ Do you have any idea how long I have wanted to have you in this position?” he’d said. He’d fantasized about me, which meant more. Didn’t it?
The gentle kisses he placed on her spine … and after sex, when she had awoken in his arms… the way he looked at her… the way he kissed her…
Nonetheless, it was now going on ten and he wasn’t here. Mackenzie was concerned for his wellbeing, she worried for him. He was always here on a Friday, always the same time. She shouldn’t have expected him to contact her at any time prior, that she knew, but regardless she did expect him to be here at his usual time on a Friday.
“Maybe he’s running late,” Alex s poke, drawing Mackenzie from her thoughts. She looked at Alex, a little stunned that he knew what she was thinking about.
But of course Alex knew, how could he not when you are so unfocused on your job and constantly day-dreaming?
She forced a smile his way and shrugged her shoulders, trying to appear nonchalant, tryin g to act like she didn’t care.
“I’m sure he’ll come,” Alex said with a n encouraging smile.
But he didn’t come, her man with no name, he didn’t arrive . Mackenzie cared for him more than she should and the heartbreak she was beginning to feel floored her.
At one am, Mackenzie was closing out the till when the door to the bar opened. She was about to turn to tell the person entering that it was closing time but then she felt it - his presence - and she froze. She didn’t need to turn around, she just knew. Alex come up beside her and took the money from her still frozen hand.
“I can finish this up,” he said, giving her a nudge with his elbow. “You go.”
She turned her head to see Alex smiling at her and she returned his smile, it was no longer a forced one, as it had been all evening, she was genuinely
