damn coffee, I need to get
outdoors for a short while.”
“All right. I was just about to order your usual
Friday lunch from the Lebanese place-”
“No, don't worry about that. I'll pick up something
myself.”
“Yes sir, Mr. Sinclair. See you shortly,” she said
with her trademark cheery demeanor.
“Enjoy your lunch break, Jade.”
I hurried off, and as I rounded the corner before the
elevator, I almost collided into someone.
“Lilah! We have got to stop meeting like this,” I said
with a grin. “I'm sorry, I almost knocked you over there.”
She looked up at me and smiled. “That you did! Good
thing I have the reflexes of a cat now, isn’t it?”
I chuckled. “You do seem to have ninja skills!”
Her smile widened. “Where are you off to in such a hurry,
Asher?”
“Oh, I'm not really sure. I’m just going a bit stir
crazy in my office. You know how much work we've been putting in the last
couple of days, and I don't think I've been getting enough sleep, and I
definitely had too much coffee this morning and…
“Ah, see, I'm even rambling now. That’s a sure sign I
need to get out of the office. I just need to get outdoors to walk around and
try relax a little. It's a lovely day outside, and there are a few quiet,
picturesque spots nearby that usually help me refocus and rejuvenate.”
“That sounds really nice. I was thinking earlier about
taking a little stroll during lunch. I'm still trying to explore the
neighborhood a bit, you know, find good lunch spots and such.”
“Well, would you like to come with me? I could show
you a few places that are kind of off the radar. There are definitely a few
hidden gems located in a back alley or two around here.”
Lilah smiled. “Back alleys, huh?”
“You’d be surprised,” I offered with a wink.
“Sure. Let me take these papers back to my office and
get my purse. I'll be right with you.”
“Excellent. I'll wait by the elevators.”
She smiled again and hurried off toward her office. I
couldn't help my eyes from lingering on the way her hips swayed as she walked
away in her beige business suit. I tried to force my eyes off of the exquisite
curves of her ass which moved so sensually as she went.
I shook my head to snap myself out of the trance I'd
fallen into. I hoped there wasn’t anyone who had seen me staring so intently at
her behind. Luckily, nobody else was around.
After a minute or two, Lilah rounded the corner,
smiling as our eyes met. A tingle rushed through to my nerve endings as her
gaze met mine. As many times as I had seen her, her striking eyes still managed
to stir something in me every time she looked at me.
“I’m ready to go,” she said.
I resisted an impulse to take her hand in mine.
“Great, follow me.”
After we exited the building, I pointed across the
street. “See that little alley over there?”
Her head tilted and she studied the direction in which
I pointed. “Yeah?”
“We're gonna head down that way. We're going to
Chinatown.”
“Chinatown? Isn't that a couple of miles away?”
“If you drive, yes. If you walk through the alleys,
though, in a straight line it's only about a mile from here. You do like East
Asian food, don't you?”
“I'm a huge fan of Asian food in general.”
“Excellent! You'll be spoiled with choices where we're
going then.”
“Are we really going to be able to get there, eat, and
get back all within an hour, Asher?”
I paused and thought about this. My initial plan had
just been to get out of the office, have a peaceful walk, relax in the Japanese
Zen garden a couple of blocks away, and then grab some takeout that I could
snack on during the afternoon. But having Lilah with me changed my train of
thought in an instant. Getting all of that done wouldn't be possible in just an
hour. Still, I was already feeling recharged and somehow I thought perhaps it
was the idea of merely being in her presence.
“You know what, Lilah? We're not going to be able to
do that
