It wasn’t a new me, I was back to my old self; I was Mitchell Conway pre New York City. And now talking with you I realize that if those events hadn't happened, I would have never met you, so I am a firm believer in "Everything happens for a reason.”
“Mitch I am so proud of you, and you should be proud of yourself too. You did what you needed to do to get through it and you came out all the better. There are not a lot of people who would have done that.”
“Danielle, thank you for telling me that,” he smiled appreciatively.
She smiled warmly. “I like that we feel comfortable enough to tell each other all about ourselves so early on.”
“So do I Danielle and now it’s your turn. I want to know everything about you,” he said gazing into her eyes.
“And you shall, but right now you’ve got to get me to work,” she grinned.
“Mitch thank you again for a lovely breakfast."
“Your very welcome Danielle and I think you should do me the honor of letting me take you out to dinner tonight. I took over the spotlight during breakfast, tonight will be your night to shine," he winked and kissed her softly on the lips.
“You mister, have got yourself a date."
“Great, come on I'll drop you at work and I need to pick up my order.”
"Luan right?"
“Yes, how did you know? Oh that’s right; you do all the order requests. Dating you is going to be good for me and my business,” he teased and pulled her into his arms and kissed her again.
Chapter Six
Joe and Vic watched as Mitch's truck pulled into the rear parking lot, the lot that was used for larger deliveries and pick-ups. “Well, look at that,” Victoria exclaimed.
“What?”
“Looks like Mitch is in love.”
“Huh? Woman stop being nosy and get back in here.”
“Not on your sweet life Joe,” Victoria smirked.
“Well good morning you two, I take it you had a pleasant weekend?” Smiling at the both of th em, Vic said, “And there’s no need to thank me guys, an invite to the wedding will be enough.”
“Vic!” Both Danielle and Joe yelped, embarrassed by her remark.
“What? I'm just stating the obvious.”
“You'll have to excuse her,” said Joe, “She hasn't had her second cup of coffee yet.”
“No worries,” said Mitch. “That doesn't bother me at all,” he grinned at Danielle.
He is just too good to be true , she thought to herself. I want him and I want all of him. Is it me or does he look incredibly sexy in that white tee shirt, baggy jeans and those construction boots? His arms are so toned, and strong. Not to mention his hair, he's letting it grow out and all I want to do is run my fingers through it! His eyes turn even greener when I look at him in the sunlight. Oh I've gotta stop, gotta concentrate. I'm at work , she thought to herself.
“Joe, Vic, the weekend was great because I spent some of it with my friends, but there was an uninvited, unfortunate thing that happened this weekend.”
Seeing the seriousness in her eyes Vic said, “Oh honey what happened?”
Closing the office door, Mitch sat them down and both he and Danielle explained what one of their so called loyal customers was up to. Once they finished, Vic let out a gasp. “That lousy piece of shit!” All heads tu rned towards her.
“Vic?"
“I know, I know. I never curse but that’s ridiculous, my god Danielle. And to think we invited him into our home Joe,” Victoria said, upset now. Joe gently put his hands on her shoulders and gave his wife a reassuring squeeze. “And the police can't do anything?” He asked.
“Nope not until he's pretty much caught in the act.
“Well I’ll tell you one thing,” said Joe.
“Sometimes you gotta take the law into your own hands, right Mitch? I mean hun ting season is coming up and lots of people have accidents.”
“You might be on to something there Joe,” Mitch nodded his head in agreement.
“Now stop it, the both of you. Stop this foolishness,” Danielle whimpered.
“Mitch I am so proud of you, and you should be proud of yourself too. You did what you needed to do to get through it and you came out all the better. There are not a lot of people who would have done that.”
