everything was back in place. She couldn’t have anyone coming in and finding her disheveled in her own place of business. There sure would be questions.
“You look beautiful. You don’t have to fix a thing.” Travis reached out and tugged a strand of her hair behind her ear. “How about you give me your address so I can leave and get our first date set up?”
Touching Travis’ hand, she removed it away from her face and then walked the short distance over to her desk. Renee quickly scribbled her information down on a note pad. She spun back around and found Travis standing right behind her.
“Here you go,” she said, handing him the slip of paper.
“Thank you, Renee. Remember to be ready by seven o’clock.” Travis reached out to touch her again, but dropped his hand before it made contact. He gave her a smile and then turned around and headed for the door.
Renee stood still watching Travis until he went out the door of the gallery and got inside his truck then drove off. Then it suddenly hit her like a ton of bricks what she had done. She agreed to go out on a date with her hunky new client.
Was she out of her mind? Or was she about to have the time of her life?
Chapter Nine
“I can’t believe you’re going out with Travis on a date,” Dana said sitting on the end of Renee’s bed watching as she got ready for her first date in over a year.
“Do you think I should have told him no when he called me at work? I mean I haven’t been out with a man in so long and never with a younger guy.” Renee turned away from the mirror and looked at her best friend waiting for an answer. Half the time she would jump into anything with her eyes wide open and not care what people thought, but this was different.
She really wanted this date with Travis. He had grabbed her attention like no other man had in a while. She was craving to find out more about him and his life; however, taking the steps to get there were a little intimidating.
Renee knew how to relate to a man her own age. They could share a common bond by sharing and discussing events from their past. But there were very few things that she and Travis could have a conversation about that didn’t involve a huge generation gap.
“Stop doing what you’re doing,” Dana scolded as she got up from the bed. “I can already see your mind working overtime and I don’t want you doing that at all. Travis asked you out on a date because he finds you extremely attractive.”
“Just go with it and let things grow and develop. I promise you that he’ll do everything tonight to make sure he gets second date from you. Remember, I told you that I know the look and Travis had the look.”
Why did Dana have to be right ? Renee thought to herself.
Dana always seemed to know what was going on with her before she even uttered a word. Sometimes it felt like Dana knew her better than she knew herself. She guessed that was one of the reasons she had become such instant friends with her.
“Fine,” she sighed “I won’t over think my date tonight. I’ll just have fun and try to forget about everything else.” Renee turned towards the mirror but spun back around when a thought crossed her mind. “Are you okay with this? I mean you did have a little bit of interest in Travis. Does it bother you that I’m going out on a date with him?”
“No, not at all,” Dana assured her. “Travis has known me a little longer than he has you. If he wanted to go out on a date with me then he would have asked me a long time ago. Forget about me. Have fun tonight. I need to leave anyway. I’m going over to Cruz’s house tonight. I’m having dinner with him and his brother. You know we’re going to have too much fun.”
Coming up to her, Dana gave her a quick hug. “Don’t allow this chance to slip through your fingers. Travis is a good guy. At least give him a chance to prove it to you. Every man isn’t Robert, so why keep giving your lousy ex-husband
