her head to one side.
    “I am, and I’ll take that as a yes. I’m a man that has grown accustomed to getting what I want when I want it. I’m tenacious like a pit bull.”
    “Well in that case, it’s a yes. I get off of work at seven on Friday. I could meet you,” she said. She wasn’t ready for him to pick her up at her apartment. Having her own car to escape in if necessary gave her a sense of control.
    “Okay, how about we go to PF Chang’s since it’s in the mall. That will make it easier for you.”
    “PF Chang’s is perfect,” she said.
    The waitress arrived with the bill. Neil took out his wallet and paid with cash.
    “Well, I know you are tired. We should get going,” he said.
    “You’re right. I am tired and I have three classes tomorrow. I need to get home.”
    They got up to walk out of the restaurant. Again, he placed his hand in the small of her back. She was so happy to have his hand on her. She was hoping that he would touch a lot more of her on Friday night. His touch sent simultaneous sparks and shivers throughout her body.
    He walked her to her car. “Thank you for the coffee and dessert,” she said.
    “Thank you for agreeing to meet me. I’m looking forward to our date on Friday.” “Date?” she asked, raising an eyebrow.
    “Yes, date,” he said forcefully. He went in to kiss her, but she offered him her cheek instead. She was worried that if she kissed him on the lips, she might not be able to stop. He had managed to lower all of her defenses. He pulled her in close for a hug. She could feel the length of his erection against her stomach. She felt her muscles clench deep down between her legs as he pressed his chest against hers. He was so muscular.
    She tried to pull away, but he didn’t let her go. He instead whispered to her “I’m really looking forward to spending Friday evening with you. You have captivated me with your beauty and intellect.”
    She felt her insides pulse as his hot breath tickled her ear. “I’m looking forward to it too,” she whispered back. Then he let her go and she opened her car door.
    “Here’s my card in case you need to get in touch with me. My home number is on the back,” he said. He whipped out his phone and asked for her number. He stored it safely in his cell.
    “See you at seven.”
    “See you then,” she said as she got into her car.
    As Kate drove away, she couldn’t help but feel a warm sensation flood her body. Neil was the first guy she had let get close to her in what had felt like forever. The first guy she had been on a date with in years. The first guy that she had wanted in years. Well, with the exception of her classmate Mark. Maybe she could move on and have what everybody else had. It was worth a try.
    It was about eleven when she pulled into her parking space. She carried the huge bouquet of flowers up the stairs. Roger’s door was open which struck her as odd. She really wanted to get inside and put on her pajamas, but he called out to her.
    “Hey,” he said with a hint of worry in his voice, “I was beginning to think that something had happened to you.”
    Roger stood at the threshold of his doorway, staring at the flowers. His brow was creased and he looked visibly upset.
    “Oh, everything is fine. You don’t need to worry about me. That’s my mom’s job,” Kate said, growing annoyed that she was explaining herself to him. Who does he think he is?
    “Oh, of course it is,” he said carefully, trying to salve the irritated tone he detected in her voice. “I just hadn’t heard you come home and I thought that something might have happened to you. It’s a big city with a lot of crazy people in it.”
    “Thanks for your concern, but I am a big girl and I can take care of myself,” she said coolly.
    “Those are beautiful flowers. Are they from a friend?” he asked, sounding like a jealous boyfriend.
    “Yes, they are from a friend,” she said, uncomfortable with the fact that he was so interested in
