display of home-cooked food. The
look on her face must have said it all as he guided her into a
chair and proceeded to take off the elf apron.
So the first question out of her mouth was an
odd one, he gave her that. “Where did you get that elf apron?”
Causing a seductive smile to cross his lips and a slight shrug with
his shoulders thinking how silly he might have appeared. However,
he did not care. He loved the holidays.
As he raised his glass of wine to her to make
a toast, he realized that through all that happened, he was not
going to let her go so easy next time. He was going to put up a
fight against any man. Her red curly hair caressed the v of her
sweater. Making her green eyes sparkle. It made him think he was
the one that got the best present of all.
“The apron, if you must know, was just
something I picked up at the grocery store. Did you know I had to
park three blocks away? I own this building, and I have to park
three blocks away.” He took a sip of wine at the same time she did,
then I think the last comment soaked in quickly.
“You own this building?” She looked at him
with a wonderment of just who the man really was. She had sensed he
was above and out of her league. However, she really did not have a
clue what he did or who he truly was. Oddly enough she didn’t
really care. She had a feeling; she was going to get the chance to
know him.
“I think I mentioned my business is
investments. Well, this happens to be a building that I just
acquired, but we can talk about all that later. You looked
exhausted when you walked through that door. I want us to eat, and
then we can catch up on each other's lives. Try the pork loin, its
tender.” He took another bite and smiled at the woman he wanted to
make his future wife. He had realized just like that, what she
meant to him, and it was not until he lost her that he realized he
had found the woman of his dreams.
Well, he did not have to ask her twice. She
had not had a decent meal in days, and the stress of the losing him
had left her sleepless. She dived into her meal with gusto as she
snuck in questions here and there for him to answer. Which, he did
with a surprisingly amount of truth. He did not gloss anything
over, and it almost scared her to find out she had fallen for a man
who was a millionaire. A man who started out in sales like herself
and found ways to make his money work for him. She envied him.
What surprised her most was he once had
wanted to marry and have kids of his own but got his heart broken.
Then he just did not go out looking for another. He even mentioned
how he was so quick to write her off until their first kiss. He
said he was had, so she had to tell him.
“If all I got that day was your kiss; you
would have made me the happiest woman alive that day. Instead, I
got seduced. I got my gifts I needed after all. Shipped and
delivered. I got my first fun, playing dress-up, night out in New
York. Yes, your brother’s bar was my first time out to have fun.
Then you seduced me and you got me, hooked that is. You have been
all I can think about since that first kiss.” She winked at him
over her last sip from her wine glass.
He felt taken aback. He just realized they
both were heading in the same direction, and it scared him some.
However, this time he would fight for her to keep her.
“I hope you saved room for desert?” He began
to stand and clear away their dishes. He already had coffee brewed,
and he started to make them each a cup of coffee.
“I’m stuffed. I ate more tonight than I think
I ate all week. Besides…” She stood to wrap her arms around him and
reached up to pull him in close for a kiss.
“You are dessert.” He finished her
sentence.
Like that first night of passionate love
making this night went just as well. Kisses in all the right places
and the first good night sleep in a long time for both.
Something awoke her early, and it was the
sound of that song. She rolled over and saw him strolling in
