since I moved out. With the work at
the house and all the plans I'm running, I haven't spent time with
anyone but the boys, Petey and Kate. It will be good to have my
Brothers around.
Kate
I feel like I'm in a bad
movie of the week. I'm finding more to love about Danny every day
and I'm going on a date with Len. I'm not even nervous. The clothes
we bought are all daring but tasteful and I feel more confident
because of them. Choosing a royal blue wrap dress I feel
comfortable and confident.
Len takes me to the Warf
in Newport. I want to roll my eyes when he pulls in. I'm wondering
if the wait staff recognizes me and realize I'm smiling at all of
them. Len talks work the entire time. I try to change the subject
but he always manages to bring me right back to work. After a while
I stop talking and just nod at him. Finally we get the bill. He
asks if I thought he could expense it, he laughs when I say he
talked work the whole dinner, like I'm making a joke. Holy crap! He
is too handsome to be so freakin boring. He pulls me into the
banquet room and we dance for two songs. He's not as good a dancer
as Jared and I'm ready to be done with this date. I shouldn't have
even kept it. Walking back to the car he stops and bends to kiss
me. I turn so he hits my cheek. There has got to be some man book
that tells guys what to do on a date. Every freakin one of them
must read it, they all put out the same moves.
"I'm sorry Len. I'm just
not feeling like we connect with anything more than work." I keep
my eyes on his, he looks relieved.
"I wanted to see. I felt
like I was trying too hard tonight. I haven't had a date like this
since I was in my teens. I'm sorry Kate."
I smile, "the only way we
would have found out is by going on the date. I have to say, it is
the second time I've come to this place and had the same reaction.
I don't think I'll ever come back here."
He cracks up. "The man who
is your match is one lucky son of a bitch." He puts his arm on my
shoulder getting us to the car. We have a really nice chat while he
drives me home. I'm relieved that we aren't awkward with each
other.
He walks me to the door,
"if you ask me to go to a wedding with you the answer is
no."
He just smiles, "the de ja
vu guy?" I nod. He kisses my cheek and waits until I lock my door
before he walks back to his car.
My thoughts are on Danny.
I want to talk to him, tell him I'm ready for more. Since it's only
ten I grab the phone and call him. "Kate, everything ok?" I hear a
woman's laugh and deep voices in the background.
"Yes, I didn't mean to
interrupt you. I'll talk to you tomorrow." Shit, he's at the
club.
"Are you at home?" He
asks. He must have walked outside, the background noise is
gone.
"Yeah but it's not
important. I'll talk to you tomorrow." I feel tears burning my
eyes. I hang up. I don't want to think right now. I head to the
kitchen in search of something to numb my mind. I pour whiskey in a
glass and jump sloshing it on my hand when someone knocks on my
door.
Opening it I'm surprised
to see him. He's so handsome; it hurts to see him standing there.
"I didn't mean to interrupt your night. It was nothing important."
I say embarrassed and sad all at the same time.
He stops smiling, "did you
call me?" I nod. "You're as important as it gets for me. Since you
didn't want to talk on the phone, I came over." He puts his hands
on my waist and moves me back so he can come in. Damn, that gets my
heart pumping. "Mind if I have one too? It's been a stressful
night. You look beautiful in blue. I like this dress." He points me
toward the kitchen and pours himself a glass while sitting at the
breakfast bar.
I haven't said a word yet.
I don't even know what to say, he's got me so turned on. I wanted
to talk to him, but him being at the club threw me. I just sit and
wait.
"Beautiful Kate, it hurts
knowing I put that look of surprise on your face. There was a time
when people knew they could count on me. I fucked that up and let
