Well, I won’t lie”, he chuckled, “it’s rather large. I’ve gotten lost before.”
She laughed too, a sweet, sweet sound. “Maybe we will play an epic game of hide and seek.”
“Maybe. Or maybe I can think of something else we could do.”
She bit her bottom lip. “I am sure I would be ok with that.”
It was everything he could do to control himself right then and there. He wanted her again. It’s all he thought about for the past week since they slept together at her house. But, he didn’t want to do that until he had told her the truth. It wouldn’t be fair to her, or him for that matter.
So, later in the day, when he just couldn’t stand it anymore, Barend told Amelia they could leave. It was only four, but he was anxious, and it was his company after all.
“Ok,” she smiled, “Is my boss going to get angry at me for leaving early?”
“I just talked to him and he said it would be ok.”
“Alright, well, I don’t want to come back Monday and find out he’s mad at me.”
“He could never be mad at you.”
This time, she smiled, put her hand in his and then they walked toward the elevator together. He had never been this nervous. For the first time in his life, he was going to tell a woman his secret. And, also, for the first time in his life, he was in love with a woman.
And, he was terrified of losing her. She was so special, he just couldn’t imagine his future without her. She was different from every other woman he had met. She challenged him, and she kept up with him mentally. To top it all off too, she was beautiful. No, he wanted to keep her, and he wanted her to be part of his life from now on.
And, whether or not she would be a part of his life depended on tonight. It all hinged on this one thing. She could either embrace who he was or leave and never speak to him again. Finally, she broke the silence between them on the elevator.
“Barend, is there something wrong?”
“What? No, not at all.”
“You are just really quiet.”
“Sorry. It’s just…”
She looked at him questioningly, giving him time to finish the sentence
“I have never taken a woman home before.”
“Really?”
“Like I said, I have rarely gone on a second date with a woman.”
“Oh, yeah…”
“Amelia, I’m not going to be dishonest with you. I’m sorry my past is less than spectacular. But, that’s the truth. And, I have never had a woman at my home.”
“Well, I feel honored.”
He was slightly shocked at her reaction. Some women would completely freak out if their guys had that kind of a past. Some women won’t even sleep with a man if he had more than 10 or 12 partners. But, it was clear Amelia valued honesty over almost anything else. And, since he had been careful to be honest … mostly… she seemed to be ok with his past.
“Honored?” He asked.
“Yeah, I mean you have had lots of opportunities to take a woman home and you haven’t. Now, you are taking me. That’s impressive.”
“Well, you are impressive.”
“Stop!”
“You are Amelia. You are so special and…” He didn’t get to finish. The elevator binged to signify they had reached the bottom floor of the high rise. He briskly walked her to his car and opened the passenger door.
“Thank you sir.” She smiled. Then, when he slid into the driver’s side, she turned to look at him.
“And?”
“What?”
“You didn’t finish what you were saying in the elevator.”
“I know.”
“Are you going to?”
“I’ll finish it at my house, ok?”
“Ok.”
“Now buckle up. It’s all about safety.” He turned stern. He didn’t want anything happening to her.
As they drove, she reached forward and ran her hand over the dashboard.
“Nice car.”
“Thanks. It’s nothing special.”
“Well, I have never ridden in a Jag before, so it’s pretty neat to me. What kind is it?”
“F-Type.”
“Sweet.”
“Do you want one?”
“What? No. I couldn’t afford it in my dreams!” She
